<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper feed cassette capable of minimizing an increase in the number of components, suppressing plastic deformation of a paper sheet in a curved shape, and suppressing generation of any warp in the direction substantially orthogonal to the paper feed direction in the paper sheet. <P>SOLUTION: The paper feed cassette 10 comprises a cassette body 11 which is fitted to a heat transfer printer 20 including a paper feed roller 23 and stores paper sheets 50, a lifting member 12 for lifting the paper sheets 50 so as to bring the paper sheets 50 into contact with the paper feed roller 23 of the heat transfer printer 20 during the paper feed (printing) state, and a lifting member 13 for lifting the paper sheets 50 so as to generate a bend G caused by the sagging of the paper sheets 50 in the direction of an arrow X2 attributable to the self weight of the paper sheets 50 during the paper feed (printing) state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
