摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support structure of a paper delivery tray capable of easily taking out recording paper from the paper delivery tray, even if an image forming device is arranged at an elevated spot such as a rack and a sideboard.;SOLUTION: A support surface S for placing the paper delivery tray 9 is arranged in a substantially horizontal state under a paper delivery part 2 delivering the recording paper. A butting part 1d is arranged by forming a crossing part of its support surface S and a vertical wall surface in the paper delivery direction at a required angle in an inclined state. A pair of pivots 13 extending in the orthogonal direction in a plan view to the paper delivery direction, is arranged in the vicinity of the butting part 1d. The paper delivery tray 9 is rotatably arranged to a casing 1 by rotatably engaging a bearing part 9e with its pivots 13, and is arranged so that a bottom plate 9f of the paper delivery tray 9 butts against the butting part 1d at a required turning angle. Arm one end side is locked on the casing 1, and the arm other end side is locked on the paper delivery tray 9. A biasing means 10 composed of a torsion coil spring of loosely inserting a coil part into the pivots 13 is arranged, and the paper delivery tray 9 is tiltably constituted to the casing 1.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
