Abstract
A second stacker is provided with base-end projection portions and leading-end projection portions that protrude outward in the width direction from the second stacker from both sides of the second stacker at the base end of the second stacker in the pull-out direction thereof. A first stacker is provided with guide rails on which the stated projection portions slide when the second stacker is pulled out; contact portions that do not make contact with and allow the leading-end projection portions to pass when the second stacker is pulled out but prevent the base-end projection portions from passing; and a support portion that supports the leading-end projection portions when the base-end projection portions are in contact with the contact portions.
