发明名称 IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS
摘要 An image recording apparatus includes: a housing having a sheet conveyance path having curved and extending portions; and a pivotable guide member at least partly defining the curved portion and pivotable. The guide member has a first guide portion and a second guide portion pivotably coupled to it. The first guide portion is pivotable between a first position for partly defining the curved portion and a second position where the curved portion is open. The second guide portion is movable between a third position where the second guide portion partly defines the curved portion with the first guide portion located at the first position and a fourth position where the second guide portion extends in a direction from an inner side to the outer side of the curved portion with the first guide portion located at the second position.

主权项 1. An image recording apparatus, comprising: a housing formed with a conveyance path comprising (i) a curved portion curved upward and (ii) an extending portion continuous to the curved portion; a recording device configured to record an image on a sheet conveyed in a conveying direction along the extending portion of the conveyance path; and a guide member disposed on the conveyance path at a position located upstream of the recording device in the conveying direction, the guide member defining at least a portion of an outer side of the curved portion of the conveyance path, the guide member being pivotable in a state in which an upstream end portion of the guide member in the conveying direction serves as an axis, and a downstream end portion of the guide member in the conveying direction serves as a pivotal-movement distal end, the guide member comprising a first guide portion and a second guide portion, the first guide portion being nearer to the axis than the second guide portion, the second guide portion being nearer to the pivotal-movement distal end than the first guide portion, the first guide portion being pivotable between (i) a first position at which the first guide portion defines a portion of the curved portion and (ii) a second position at which the curved portion is open, the second guide portion being pivotably coupled to the first guide portion and movable between (i) a third position at which the second guide portion defines a portion of the curved portion when the first guide portion is located at the first position and (ii) a fourth position at which when the first guide portion is located at the second position, the second guide portion extends in a direction directed from an inner side to the outer side of the curved portion defined by the first guide portion.
