发明名称 Image processing apparatus
摘要 An image processing apparatus, including: a first unit; a second unit; and a pair of first hinges spaced apart from each other in a first direction, the first and second units being coupled through the hinges, wherein the first unit includes a supporter for supporting a recording medium and a first conveyor including a supply roller and configured such that, in a state in which recording media are set on the supporter, the first conveyor conveys the media one by one by the supply roller toward a downstream side in a conveyance direction, wherein the supporter is configured to be pivotally movable between a housed position and a use position about an axis extending, on a specific side of the first unit, in a direction parallel to the first direction, and wherein the supporter is disposed between the first hinges at least when located at the housed position.

主权项 1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a first unit; a second unit; and a pair of first hinges through which the first unit and the second unit are coupled, wherein the first hinges are spaced apart from each other in a first direction which is one of two directions that are orthogonal to an up-down direction and orthogonal to each other, wherein the second unit is configured to be pivotally movable through the first hinges between a closed position and an open position about an axis extending, on a specific side of the second unit, in a direction parallel to the first direction, such that the second unit covers an upper surface of the first unit when located at the closed position and the second unit is spaced apart from the upper surface of the first unit when located at the open position, wherein the first unit includes: a supporter for supporting a recording medium;a first conveyor configured to convey the recording medium from the supporter toward a downstream side in a conveyance direction along a first conveyance path, the first conveyor including (a) an inlet which is provided on a specific side of the first unit and through which the recording medium is introduced into the first conveyance path and (b) a supply roller configured to be rotatable about an axis extending in the direction parallel to the first direction, the first conveyor being configured such that, in a state in which a plurality of recording media are set on the supporter, the first conveyor conveys the recording media one by one by the supply roller toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction; andan image forming device configured to form an image on the recording medium conveyed by the first conveyor, wherein the supporter is configured to be pivotally movable between a housed position and a use position about an axis extending, on the specific side of the first unit, in the direction parallel to the first direction, such that the supporter closes the inlet when located at the housed position and the supporter opens the inlet when located at the use position so as to support the recording medium, and wherein the supporter is disposed between the first hinges at least when located at the housed position.
