1. A recording apparatus comprising:
a delivery tray for supporting a sheet on which recording is made;
a delivery roller for conveying the sheet on which recording is made in a conveying direction in order to stack the sheet on the delivery tray; and
two projection members, one at each widthwise end on the delivery tray, for engaging with a trailing end portion of the sheet stacked on the delivery tray to prevent the sheet from moving, the projection members having a shape such that an up-stream part thereof is higher than other parts thereof to form a slant edge which slants downward toward a downstream part thereof in the conveying direction,
wherein a plurality of sheets stacked on the projection members are not given a transferring force so that an upper surface of an uppermost sheet contacts only with a next sheet discharged from the delivery roller, and
wherein the projection members project upward to contact a back surface of the sheet stacked on the delivery tray and are disposed at a position so that an up-stream side part of the projection members in a conveyance direction of the sheet contacts with the back surface of the sheet at a rear end thereof.
