Zusammenfassung:An image forming apparatus includes a discharge tray, a sheet contact plate, an arm, a slider, and a spring. The sheet contact plate includes a first end portion and a second end portion located downstream in a sheet discharge direction and is pivotable about a first axis located at the first end portion between a retracted position and a protruding position. The arm includes a third end portion and a fourth end portion. The third end portion is supported by the second end portion of the sheet contact plate such that the arm is pivotable about a second axis located at the third end portion. The slider supports the fourth end portion of the arm such that the arm is pivotable about a third axis located at the fourth end portion. The spring urges the slider away from the first axis along the sheet discharge direction.
