20220119212 · 2022-04-21 · ·

A sheet feeding device includes a storage, a discharger, an angle adjuster, and an urging body. The storage stores a sheet bundle. The discharger contacts and discharge an uppermost sheet of the sheet bundle from the storage in a sheet conveying direction in which the uppermost sheet is conveyed. The angle adjuster changes an angle according to a remaining amount of the sheet bundle in the storage. The urging body urges a trailing end of the uppermost sheet in the sheet conveying direction toward the discharger in stages according to the remaining amount.

Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus includes a stacking portion on which a print medium printed by a printing unit configured to perform printing is stacked, a discharge unit configured to discharge the print medium printed by the printing unit to the stacking portion, a passage forming portion arranged facing the stacking portion and configured to form a discharge passage of the print medium together with the stacking portion, and an outlet port located at a downstream end of the stacking portion and a downstream end of the passage forming portion in a conveying direction of the print medium. The passage forming portion includes an opening/closing portion which is displaceable between a closed position for forming the discharge passage and an open position for opening access to the stacking portion.

IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
20220001679 · 2022-01-06 ·

An image forming apparatus includes a discharge tray, a sheet contact plate, an arm, a slider, and a spring. The sheet contact plate includes a first end portion and a second end portion located downstream in a sheet discharge direction and is pivotable about a first axis located at the first end portion between a retracted position and a protruding position. The arm includes a third end portion and a fourth end portion. The third end portion is supported by the second end portion of the sheet contact plate such that the arm is pivotable about a second axis located at the third end portion. The slider supports the fourth end portion of the arm such that the arm is pivotable about a third axis located at the fourth end portion. The spring urges the slider away from the first axis along the sheet discharge direction.

Recording apparatus

A recording apparatus includes: an output tray into which the paper sheet on which recording has been performed is outputted, wherein the output tray has a rib—includes a pair of first ribs disposed at an upstream position, the pair of first ribs being elongated in an output direction and protruding, and a pair of second ribs disposed at a downstream position, the pair of second ribs being elongated in the output direction and protruding, the output tray has an upstanding end portion (edge receiving section) formed at a downstream end in the output direction, the second rib is formed to be continuous from the edge receiving section, and each of the pair of first ribs and the pair of second ribs are symmetrically arranged to a center (center line) in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the output direction of the paper sheet.

Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes a paper discharging tray and a paper detection part disposed at an upstream end of the paper discharging tray in a paper discharge direction. The paper detection part includes a base end member provided rotatably around a first axis extending in a direction perpendicular to a paper discharge direction and a tip member pivoted to the base end member to rotate around a second axis parallel to the first axis, and extending downwardly to incline toward an upstream side of the paper discharge direction in a state where the base end member is not subjected to pressure from the paper being discharged. The base end member is disposed to face a discharge opening when being at the reference position, and the image forming apparatus stops discharging paper from the discharge opening when the base end member rotates by a predetermined threshold or more with respect to the reference position.
