发明名称 Image recording device
摘要 A first feeder contacts a first surface of a first sheet held in a first tray and feeds the first sheet toward a recording unit. A second feeder contacts a first surface of a second sheet held in a second tray and feeds the second sheet toward the recording unit. An inner member is disposed above a standing plate. An outer member comprises an upstream portion opposing the standing plate, and a downstream portion opposing the inner member. The inner member guides the first surface of the first sheet and the first surface of the second sheet. The standing plate guides the first surface of the second sheet. The upstream portion of the outer member guides a second surface of the second sheet, and the downstream portion guides a second surface of the first sheet and the second surface of the second sheet. The standing plate moves relative to the outer member.

主权项 1. An image recording device comprising: a first tray comprising a first plate configured to support sheets thereon; a second tray disposed below the first tray and comprising a second plate configured to support sheets thereon; a first feeder configured to feed a sheet from the first tray; a second feeder configured to feed a sheet from the second tray; a recording unit disposed above the first tray and partially defining a recording path, the recording unit being configured to record an image on a sheet fed along the recording path; a standing member disposed proximate to one end of the first plate of the first tray; an inner member disposed above the standing member and comprising an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface; an upper member disposed above the inner member; and an outer member comprising: a first outer portion opposing the outer surface of the inner member to define therebetween a first path which is joined with the recording path, the first outer portion and the outer surface of the inner member being configured to guide toward the recording unit, along the first path, a sheet fed from the first tray and a sheet fed from the second tray; anda second outer portion opposing the standing member to define therebetween a second path which is joined with the first path, the second outer portion and the standing member being configured to guide, along the second path, a sheet fed from the second tray, wherein the inner surface of the inner member opposes the upper member to partially define therebetween a third path which is different from the recording path and joined with the first path, and the recording unit overlaps the third path when viewed vertically and is away from the third path, the third path passing between the recording unit and the first tray.
