To prevent inferior performance of sheet feeding likely when sheets ranging backward from a pressure contacting member reciprocate at each sheet feeding motion centering on the rotation center of the pressure contacting member and receive a sliding resistance from the sheet receiving surface of the device body.
A sheet accommodating device is to be installed removably on the body of an image forming device, and the body 8 of sheet accommodating device is equipped rotatably with a pressure contacting member 9 on which sheets S are placed, and a sliding member 11 which is slidable and admits placing thereon the rear of the sheets S is coupled using a coupling means with the tail of member 9 about the sheet transporting direction, and the rear of the sheets S is placed on the sliding member, and it is possible to preclude the sheets S from sliding with the device body.
