Abstract
A sheet storing device includes a sheet cassette and a sheet tray. The sheet cassette is for storing sheets. The sheet tray is at an inner bottom surface of the sheet cassette and rotatable around a shaft that is located along one end of the inner bottom surface in a sheet feed direction. An upper surface of the sheet tray on which the sheets are to be stored has a projection extending from a first end of the sheet tray towards a second end of the sheet tray, which is coupled to the shaft, such that the sheets on the upper surface are at least partially bent in an upward convex shape at a region above the projection.
