IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes an ejecting port, an ejected sheet tray and a guiding member. The ejected sheet tray has a sheet stacking face inclined upwardly towards a downstream side from a lower side of the ejecting port. The guiding member is provided at a position on the sheet stacking face to contact with a tip end of the ejected sheet at the position. The guiding member includes a base member attached to the sheet stacking face, a movable guide for stacking the ejected sheet and a biasing member. The movable guide is turnably supported on the base member around a supporting shaft. The biasing member is interposed between the base member and the movable guide at an upstream side from the supporting shaft to bias the movable guide upwardly. The movable guide is turned downwardly against a biasing force of the biasing member by weight of stacked sheets.
Sheet feeding apparatus and image forming apparatus
In a sheet feeding apparatus without increase in size and without fluctuation in sheet feeding interval, a clutch is brought into a disconnected state after a separation roller separates from a feed roller.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCORPORATING TEMPORARY RETAINER FOR BYPASS TRAY
An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body, an image forming portion, a sheet feeding port, a bypass tray, a rotation support, and a temporary retainer. The image forming portion is disposed in the apparatus body to form an image on a recording medium. The sheet feeding port is disposed upstream from the image forming portion of the apparatus body in a sheet feeding direction. The bypass tray is disposed to be storable in the apparatus body. The bypass tray loads the recording medium to be fed toward the sheet feeding port. The rotation support supports the bypass tray. The temporary retainer positions the bypass tray both in a vertical direction relative to the sheet feeding port and in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the sheet feeding direction. The temporary retainer temporarily retains the bypass tray.
Medium discharge device and image reading apparatus
A medium discharge device includes a discharge roller pair that is provided with a discharge driving roller and a discharge driven roller which drivably rotates in contact with the discharge driving roller, and a medium receiving tray which receives the medium that is fed and discharged by the discharge roller pair, in which the medium receiving tray includes a guide member which guides such that a tip end of the medium which is discharged from the discharge roller pair enters the medium mounting surface at a predetermined angle, and the guide member is provided to be elastically displaceable in an advancing and retreating direction with respect to the medium mounting surface of the medium receiving tray and is displaced in a direction coming close to the medium mounting surface according to raising of a pressing load due to the medium that is discharged to the medium receiving tray.
Image forming apparatus
An image forming apparatus includes a device body having an opening, a cover body configured to move between open and closed positions to open and close the opening, a sheet conveyer, a first tray, a second tray disposed opposite to the sheet conveyer across the first tray when the cover body is at the open position, a third tray configured to move between a stowed position between the cover body and the second tray and a pulled-out position pulled away from the first tray, and two guide members configured to guide the first tray. The second tray has two first attachment holes. Each of the guide members has a second attachment hole. The first attachment holes overlap the second attachment holes, respectively. The second tray and each of the guide members are fixed to the cover body with a common fastening member inserted into the first and second attachment holes.
