Sheet feed cassette, paper sheet conveying device, and image forming apparatus
Abstract:
A sheet feed cassette includes an end cursor, a pair of gears, and a pair of racks. The end cursor regulates a rear end position of stored paper sheets in the sheet feed direction. The end cursor is slidable in the conveyance direction. The pair of gears are rotatably provided on a lower surface of a base portion of the end cursor and have the same module and the same number of teeth. The pair of racks are provided on a bottom surface of a cassette main body in parallel with each other along a slide direction of the end cursor. The pair of racks respectively mesh with the pair of gears. This makes it possible to prevent a defect such as skewing, a folded edge, or a wrinkle from occurring, allowing the end cursor to slide smoothly with excellent operability.
