Abstract
A copy sheet discharge apparatus for copying machines comprises a copy sheet guide plate fixed to the side of a cover and a copy sheet holding tray displaced below the sheet guide plate. With respect to this discharge apparatus, the image-bearing faces of copy sheets keep facing upwards while the copy sheets are delivered to the tray and the sheets are stacked into piles in the tray in the completed inversed state with the image-bearing face downwards, whereby the immediate checkup of the copy grade before being stacked in the tray is permitted and the cumbersome rearrangement of the order of the copy sheets after being removed from the tray is not needed.
