Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a housing having a sheet discharge tray, a first opening, a second opening disposed higher, in a vertical direction, than the first opening, and a guide part configured to guide one or more sheets discharged from the second opening;
• a discharge roller disposed at the first opening, wherein an end portion of the guide part in a sheet discharge direction overlaps the discharge roller from above;
• an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet;
• a sheet discharge path configured to guide the sheet from the image forming unit to the sheet discharge tray, the sheet discharge path communicating with the first opening;
• a re-conveying path configured to be disposed side by side with the sheet discharge path in a horizontal direction and to guide the sheet to the image forming unit, the re-conveying path communicating with the second opening;
• and
• a swinging member disposed to face the first opening, the swinging member comprising a first surface facing the first opening and a second surface opposite to the first surface,
• wherein:
• the swinging member further comprises a first end area at which the swinging member is swingably supported by the housing, a second end area opposing the first end area and disposed downstream of the end portion of the guide part in the sheet discharge direction, and a rib formed to extend from the first end area to the second end area;
• the swinging member is disposed to be movable between a first position and a second position at which the second end area is disposed at a position higher than a position of the second end area when the swinging member is disposed at the first position;
• and
• the rib is formed on the second surface of the swinging member opposing the first surface of the swinging member facing the sheet discharge tray in a state where the swinging member is disposed at the second position, the rib being configured to contact and guide the sheet discharged from the second opening.
