<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper cassette device capable of smoothly separating and feeding the paper without causing collision damage on the leading end edge of the paper to be fed. <P>SOLUTION: A first back surface support part 41 supporting the back surface of an inclined separation plate 39 is integrally formed at the middle portion sandwiching the center line in the width direction orthogonal to the paper feeding direction of the paper in an upper surface open shape cassette body 32. A plurality of second back surface support parts 40 are disposed at the symmetric position to the center line on the portion departing from the first back surface support part 41 in the width direction of the paper. The inclined separation plate 39 mounted and supported at the first and second back surface support parts 41, 40 is projected to the upstream side of the feeding direction on the center line side in the width direction, and supported in an arched shape in plan view so as to move back to the downstream side in the feeding direction as going further to the width direction from the center line. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
