Abstract: A sheet stacking device including: a stacking unit; and a regulation member movably supported by the stacking unit and contacting a sheet edge to regulate a sheet position. The regulation member includes: a locking member movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position; a biasing member biasing the locking member toward the engagement position; a force receiver receiving a user operation; a releaser converting a first force in a first direction applied to the force receiver into a second force in a second direction opposing a biasing force from the biasing member, moving the locking member from the engagement position to the disengagement position; and a stopper that, after the locking member disengages from the engaging portion and a user operation is not applied to the force receiver, prevents a movement of the locking member back to the engagement position due to the biasing force from the biasing member.

Abstract: In a roller member where a rotary shaft is inserted through a through-hole of a roller part so that the roller part is removably mounted on the rotary shaft, the rotary shaft is provided with a positioning retention part for retaining one end of the roller part. Further, the rotary shaft is provided with an engagement recess at place on its portion outward of the other end of the roller part. An engagement protrusion is provided at a snap fit portion extended axially outward from the other end of the roller part. In a state where the snap fit portion is elastically deformed in a direction opposite to the extension direction, the engagement protrusion is engaged with the engagement recess.
