Disclosed is a sheet discharging apparatus including a charge eliminating
member which is provided downstream a pair of swinging rollers for
discharging a sheet, and is directed along a sheet discharging direction
from its upstream side toward its downstream side. In the sheet
discharging apparatus, the charge eliminating member is directed along
the sheet discharging direction from its upstream side toward its
downstream side, so that an area of the charge eliminating member facing
a sheet is made larger than that of a conventional one, and static
electricity of the sheet can be surely removed. Particularly, even when
the sheet is a color sheet on which a color image charged with more
static electricity than a monochromatic sheet is formed, the static
electricity of the color sheet can be surely removed.
