Sheet storage device

Abstract

A sheet storage device includes a sheet storage to stack and store sheets conveyed to the sheet storage in a conveyance direction. The sheet storage includes: a first sheet contact surface at a downstream end of the sheet storage in the conveyance direction; a second sheet contact surface at one end of the sheet storage in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to each of the conveyance direction and the gravity direction; a first inclined portion having an upper end at a downstream side and a lower end at an upstream side in the conveyance direction and having the first sheet contact surface tilted downward in a gravity direction from the upper end to the lower end; and a second inclined portion tilted downward in the gravity direction toward the second sheet contact surface in the orthogonal direction.
