Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the operation for storing paper by attaching and detaching a cassette cover member to and from a tray body of a paper feed receptacle of a copying machine to be used both as a paper feed tray and a paper feed cassette. CONSTITUTION:Paper guides 4, 5 for longitudinally positioning paper and a push- up plate 6 for pushing up the leading edge portion of the uppermost paper to a paper feed position when a tray body 1 is stored in a receptacle storing portion of a copying machine body are formed on the upper side of a bottom wall 2 of the tray body 1. The lower portion of a front wall is formed in such a manner as to engage the tray 1 with the receptacle storing portion, and fitting holes 7 for attaching and detaching a cassette cover member 8 are formed on the right and left and front and rear end portions of the bottom wall 2. The upper wall of the cassette cover member 8 is provided with a lid portion 9 for supplying paper when the cover member 8 is fixed to the tray body 1. Fitting pieces 13 fitted in the fitting holes 7 of the tray body 1 are mounted on the lower side of the cover member 18.
