发明名称 Print medium feed unit and image formation apparatus
摘要 A print medium feed unit includes: a first feed roller including a first end portion and a second end portion and configured to pick up a print medium by rotating about a rotational axis extending in a first direction; a first support portion configured to rotationally support the first end portion; and a second support portion configured to rotationally support the second end portion. At least one of the first support portion and the second support portion includes a separation structure including a first portion and a second portion which are separable from each other in a radial direction of the first feed roller.

主权项 1. A print medium feed unit comprising: a first feed roller including a first end portion and a second end portion, and configured to pick up a print medium by rotating about a rotational axis extending in a first direction; a first support portion configured to rotationally support the first end portion; and a second support portion configured to rotationally support the second end portion, wherein at least one of the first support portion and the second support portion includes a separation structure including a first portion and a second portion which are separable from each other in a radial direction of the first feed roller, the first portion includes a first curve portion curving along an outer peripheral surface of the first feed roller in a rotational plane substantially orthogonal to the first direction, the second portion includes a second curve portion curving along the outer peripheral surface of the first feed roller in the rotational plane, a location of the second curve portion varying in the first direction from that of the first curve portion, and the separation structure rotatably supports any one of the first end portion and the second end portion with two ends of the first curve portion respectively overlapping two ends of the second curve portion when viewed in the first direction.
