发明名称 Sheet conveying apparatus
摘要 A sheet conveying apparatus includes: a main unit; a tray main body pivotable between a standing position and an inclined position; and a tray cover connected to the tray main body and pivotable between a bent position and a straight position. A space formed between the main unit and the tray main body is covered by the tray cover located at the bent position relative to the tray main body at the standing position and exposed by the tray cover located at the straight position relative to the tray main body at the inclined position. The tray cover pivoting from the straight position to the bent position relative to the tray main body at the inclined position causes the tray main body to pivot from the inclined position to the standing position, so that the tray cover covers the space.

主权项 1. A sheet conveying apparatus, comprising: a main unit defining a conveyance path through which a sheet is to be conveyed; a tray main body configured to support the sheet to be supplied to the conveyance path, the tray main body being pivotable between a standing position and an inclined position about a first axis relative to the main unit; and a tray cover connected to the tray main body and pivotable about a second axis parallel with the first axis, relative to the tray main body, between a bent position at which the tray cover is bent relative to the tray main body and a straight position at which the tray cover extends straight relative to the tray main body, wherein a space formed between the main unit and the tray main body is covered by the tray cover located at the bent position relative to the tray main body at the standing position and exposed by the tray cover located at the straight position relative to the tray main body at the inclined position, wherein the tray cover pivoting from the straight position to the bent position relative to the tray main body at the inclined position causes the tray main body to pivot from the inclined position to the standing position, whereby the tray cover covers the space, and wherein the tray cover comprises a first member configured to be located in the space when the tray cover covers the space, and the main unit comprises a second member, the first member being configured to, when the tray cover pivots from the straight position to the bent position relative to the tray main body at the inclined position, make a sliding contact with the second member by a weight of the tray cover, the sliding contact causing the tray main body to pivot from the inclined position to the standing position.
