    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a housing including a first wall portion extending in a vertical direction, a second wall portion extending in the vertical direction on a side opposite from the first wall portion, and an internal space formed between the first wall portion and the second wall portion. In a first state in which a sheet cassette is not attached to the housing, a cover member seals an opening portion formed in the second wall portion and through which the sheet cassette passes through, and forms part of the second wall portion. In a second state in which the sheet cassette is attached to the housing, the cover member is pivoted by being abutted by part of the sheet cassette and covers a top of a portion of the sheet cassette that is exposed to the outside of the housing.

    摘要: A sheet conveying apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a sheet cassette, a mounting portion and a conveying unit. The sheet cassette is mounted into the apparatus main body. The conveying unit is arranged above the sheet cassette in the apparatus main body. The conveying unit includes a conveyance path, an upper guide unit, a lower guide unit and a locking mechanism. The upper guide unit defines an upper surface part of the conveyance path. The lower guide unit defines a lower surface part of the conveyance path and enters the mounting portion to open the conveyance path. The locking mechanism locks the lower guide unit to the upper guide unit. The lower guide unit includes a projecting piece. The sheet cassette includes a push-up portion. The push-up portion pushes up the projecting piece when the sheet cassette is mounted into the mounting portion.

    摘要: Provided are: a sheet feed device that is capable of suppressing the occurrence of a sheet feeding fault by changing the pressing contact force of a retard roller against a feed roller; and an image formation device equipped with the same. This sheet feed unit (50) is provided with: a pickup roller (29); a feed roller (31); a retard roller (32); a holding member (40) that holds the retard roller (32); a first biasing member (42) that biases the holding member (40); and a pressing contact force changing mechanism (60) that changes the pressing contact force of the retard roller (32) against the feed roller (31). The pressing contact force changing mechanism (60) has: a rotary shaft (61) disposed parallel to the axial direction of the retard roller (32); a cam member (70) that rotates with the rotary shaft (61); and a movable member (80) that contacts the cam member (70), moves in the axial direction in conjunction with the rotation of the cam member (70), and changes the biasing force generated by the first biasing member (42).

    摘要: In a sheet feeding device, a feeding roller is driven and rotated to feed a sheet in a conveying direction of a sheet conveying path and a drive transmission mechanism transmits rotation drive force generated in a driving portion to the feeding roller. In this mechanism, a drive input gear having an inner space is arranged on a rotation axis supporting the feeding roller rotatably so as to rotate by the rotation drive force. A drive transmission gear arranged between the feeding roller and drive input gear on the rotation axis rotates and becomes slide-movable along the rotation axis between a first position transmitting the rotation drive force to the feeding roller and a second position cutting off the transmission of the rotation drive force to the feeding roller by the rotation drive force from the drive input gear to transmit the rotation drive force to the feeding roller.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a first sheet feeding cassette, a conveyance unit and a lock member. The first sheet feeding cassette is inserted into the apparatus main body along a predetermined insertion direction and is drawn out of the apparatus main body along a drawing direction opposite to the insertion direction. In a state where the lock member is in a lock position, the first sheet feeding cassette does not interfere with the lock member to allow the first sheet feeding cassette to be inserted into the apparatus main body. In a state where the lock member is in a lock release position, the first sheet feeding cassette interferes with the lock member to inhibit the first sheet feeding cassette from being inserted into the apparatus main body.
