Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a main body compact and light-weighted and to readily place the image forming device longwise by making the length of the arm part of a tray shorter than the leg of the main body. CONSTITUTION:The length of the arm part 1a of the tray 1 is made not longer than the leg 5 of the main body. At the time of using the main body, the tray 1 is supported by a rotary core 6 and a corner part A is butted a tray carrier 4. Then the tray 1 is supported by keeping a fixed angle with respect to the main body 3. Besides, at the time of no using it, the main body is housed on the leg 5 of it by turning the tray 1 round the rotary core until the tray is butted an original press-contact plate 2, placing the tray 1 on the original press- contact plate 2. Thus, the main body 3 can be made compact and light-weighted and can be housed by placing longwise.

Conventionally, in image forming apparatuses, the external appearance of the paper feed or paper ejection tray is as shown in Figure 5, and in order to fulfill its original purpose of placing paper, As shown in the figure, the arm part (shaded part) has a triangular shape in front view,
When in use, the tray is held against the main body. At this time, the tray was supported at a constant angle with respect to the main body by the angle of the corner A of the tray.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the above conventional example, in order to fulfill the role of the tray for placing paper, the tray is supported at a constant angle with respect to the main body, as shown in Figure 6. In order to do this, the corner A of the tray was formed at a certain angle, and the maximum width t of the arm was also increased.

Therefore, with this shape, when the tray is folded on the document pressure plate when not in use, the corners of the tray are thicker laterally than the legs of the main body (protruding), as shown in Figure 7. Therefore, in order to store the main body vertically, the tray had to be removed from the main body.

In addition, in order to place the main unit vertically without removing the tray from the main unit, in order to cover the corners of the tray that protrude laterally from the legs, extend the legs of the main unit laterally beyond the amount that the tray protrudes. However, there was a drawback that the size of the main body was large.

[Means for solving the problem (and operation)] According to the present invention, by making the width of the arm portion of the tray equal to or shorter than the length of the legs of the main body, the tray can be removed from the main body (and the main body can be moved vertically). Also, the corner A of the tray
The width of the tray arm can be shortened by making the tray arm closer to a right angle.

そのため、トレイ腕部の幅以上に長くしなければならな
い本体脚の長さを短くすることができる。
Therefore, the length of the main body leg, which must be longer than the width of the tray arm portion, can be shortened.

そのため本体を小型、軽量化することが可能となった。This made it possible to make the main body smaller and lighter.
