Abstract

A paper tray has a first bottom, first front and rear walls extending upwardly from the first bottom, first and second side walls extending upwardly from this bottom. The walls and bottom define an open boxlike structure for storage of sheets of paper prior to use. A cover is pivotably mounted to the top of the lower side walls in the region of the rear wall extends toward the first front wall. The cover is shorter than the first bottom to provide a feed gap between the free end of the cover and the front wall so that paper can be removed from the boxlike structure. Each of the lower side walls has an extension upwardly extending beyond the level of the cover. Paper receiving means has a second bottom upwardly displaced from and overhanging the feed gap and the front wall. First and second upper side walls are connected to the ends of the extensions remote from the rear wall and extend upwardly from the upper bottom. A front wall extending upwardly from the edge of the second bottom remote from the connection to the extensions. The second bottom, the upper side walls and front wall define a receptacle for receiving after use sheets of paper initially stored in the defined open boxlike structure.
