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: a first tray comprising a first bottom plate configured to hold thereon a first sheet; a second tray disposed below the first tray and comprising a second bottom plate configured to hold thereon a second sheet; a recording unit disposed above the first tray and configured to record an image selectively on the first sheet and the second sheet; a first feeder configured to feed the first sheet in a first feed direction; a second feeder configured to feed the second sheet in the first feed direction; a standing member disposed downstream from the first bottom plate of the first tray in the first feed direction; an inner member disposed above the standing member; an upper member disposed above the inner member to define therebetween a return path along which the first sheet and the second sheet having the image recorded thereon are to be returned toward the recording unit; an outer member comprising: a first outer portion opposing the inner member to define therebetween a first path along which the first sheet fed by the first feeder and the second sheet fed by the second feeder are to be guided;a second outer portion opposing the standing member to define therebeween a second path along which the second sheet fed by the second feeder is to be guided; anda curved outer portion opposing the upper member to define therebetween a curved path along which the first sheet and the second sheet guided along the first path and the first sheet and the second sheet returned along the return path are to be guided toward the recording unit in a second feed direction opposite to the first feed direction, the curved path extending from a joint section at which the first path and the return path are joined, wherein the outer member comprising the first outer portion, the second outer portion, and the curved outer portion is movable away from the standing member, the inner member, and the upper member such that the first path, the second path, and the curved path are exposed.
