Abstract
The sheet end detector unit (10) is provided with a supporting plate (13), a depressed bearing part (14) for bearing against a sheet discharge roller shaft (5) and a pair of leg pieces (15) which engage with the sides of a unit attachment hole (3) provided in a sheet guide plate (1). The supporting plate (13) supports the sheet end detector unit (10) which is readily positioned on the sheet discharge roller shaft (5) by simply inserting the supporting plate (13) through the attachment hole (3) so that the legs (15) are securely engaged at one side of the supporting plate (13) and the other side of the supporting plate (13) abuts against the rear side of the sheet guide plate (1).
