Abstract
A sheet container includes a body and a feed tray. The body includes a guide rail having a protrusion at a contact position. The feed tray loads multiple sheets. The feed tray is insertable to and removable from the body along the guide rail in a horizontal direction and includes a contact in an upstream portion of the feed tray in a drawing direction along the horizontal direction. In response to the feed tray drawn from the body to the contact position, the contact contacts the protrusion to restrict drawing of the feed tray from the body.
