<p>PURPOSE:To allow a sheet material to contact a feeding roller uniformly when a cassette is mounted, by installing an elastic member for energizing the both edge parts of a middle plate in the direction for pushing up the sheet material. CONSTITUTION:When a cassette 1 is not installed at a correct position for a feeding roller 9, and the bottom surface 11 of the cassette 1 and the shaft of the feeding roller 9 are not positioned in parallel, an image receiving paper 8 loaded onto a middle plate 3 and the shaft of the feeding roller 9 tend to be not positioned in parallel. When the image receiving paper 8 contacts the feeding roller 9, and the middle plate 3 is applied with an energizing force by a spring 6, the image receiving paper 8 is pressed onto the feeding roller 9, and the middle plate 3 tilts so as to offset the inclination between the image receiving paper 8 and the feeding roller 9. Therefore, the image receiving paper 8 and the feeding roller 9 are positioned in parallel, and the image receiving paper 8 can contact the feeding roller 9 uniformly.</p> |
