Summary: | To avoid a situation in which when a cover having a lower guide part is opened, a lower guide part is hooked on an upper guide part without increasing the interval between the lower guide part and the upper guide part that form a sheet conveyance path.SOLUTION: A swing member 7 is supported by a main body 1 and supported swingably upward from a reference position. An urging member 700 urges the swing member 7 toward the reference position. The swing member 7 has an upper guide part 33a. A protective cover 6 has a lower guide part 33b, and a contact part 60 that pushes up the swing member 7 upward when the protective cover 6 rotates in an outer direction from a closing position. The contact part 60 pushes up the swing member 7 to allow the protective cover 6 to rotate from the closing position to an opening position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】シート搬送路を形成する下案内部および上案内部の間隔を大きくすることなく、前記下案内部を有するカバーが開かれるときに前記下案内部が前記上案内部に引っ掛かることを回避すること。【解決手段】揺動部材7は、本体1によって支持され、基準位置から上方へ揺動可能に支持されている。付勢部材700は、前記揺動部材7を前記基準位置へ向けて付勢する。前記揺動部材7は、上案内部33aを有する。保護カバー6は、下案内部33bと、前記保護カバー6が閉位置から外方向へ回動するときに前記揺動部材7を上方へ押し上げる接触部60と、を有する。前記接触部60が前記揺動部材7を押し上げることにより、前記保護カバー6は前記閉位置から開位置まで回動可能である。【選択図】図4 |
