<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reliable and safe feeding device in which a leg against overturning dose not easily become into un-setting condition, by fixing the leg against overturning to the bottom surface of a device body via a locking mechanism, and by providing the feeding device with a releasing mechanism which releases fixation due to the locking mechanism when the leg against overturning is accommodated into the bottom surface of the device body. SOLUTION: A locking pin 10 is fixed to much paper feeding device (LCT). A spring 9 adds force to a locking lever 7 in the constant direction. In order to project a leg against overturning 3 out of bottom surface of the LCT and lock and set it in that condition, the leg against overturning 3 is moved in the arrow C direction, a recessed part 7a of the top of the locking lever 7 is engaged over the locking pin 10 to become into setting (locking) condition. The recessed part, once it becomes into locking condition, dose not move unless a release button 6 at the bottom of the locking lever 7 is operated. In order to release the locking condition, the release button 6 is pressed in the arrow B direction, the recessed part 7a of the locking lever 7 is removed from the locking pin 10, and the leg against overturning 3 in the arrow D direction may be released.</p> |
