Abstract: A removable media tray with a two-axis media restraint system having a user-actuated rear media restraint operatively coupled to a side media restraint via a camming member. The rear media restraint includes a latching assembly for slidably latching with one of the indents along a track, each indent corresponding to a supported media length. The camming member having a predefined camming profile surface is coupled to and movable with the rear media restraint. As the rear media restraint moves along the track, camming member moves with the rear media restraint in the same direction engaging first and second cam follower portions of the side media restraint causing the side media restraint to move to contact a side edge of a media stack with the position of the side media restraint depending on a position of the first and second cam follower portions on the camming profile surface.

Abstract: A media restraint for a removable media tray and slidably operable without the use of a pinching force. The media restraint slidably positionable on a track in a removable media tray and is operable without pinching. A pair of pivoting latching cams are used to engage the media restraint to the track and have serrated portions pivotally mounted to a bottom of the media restraint. The media restraint is operable by a finger of the user applying a downward force to an actuator that spreads two cam plates apart which in turn pivot the pair of latching cams to release the media restraint from the track and allowing it to be moved along the track. Upon removal of the downward force, a biasing member lifts the actuator to bring the two cam plates back to their first positions thereby pivoting the pair of latching cams back to reengage with the track.

Abstract translation: 用于可移动介质托盘的介质限制器，并可滑动地操作而不使用夹紧力。 介质限制器可滑动地定位在可移动介质托盘中的轨道上，并且可操作而不会挤压。 一对枢转闭锁凸轮用于将介质限制器接合到轨道，并且具有可枢转地安装到介质限制器的底部的锯齿形部分。 媒体约束可由用户的手指操作，向向扩展两个凸轮板的致动器施加向下的力，该两个凸轮板分开，这又驱使一对锁定凸轮枢转，以将介质限制从轨道释放并允许其沿轨道移动 。 在移除向下的力时，偏置构件提升致动器以使两个凸轮板回到其第一位置，从而使一对闩锁凸轮枢转回到与轨道重新接合。
