| 摘要 |
This invention has as its object to make it possible to provide a recording apparatus in which even when a recording material of a different size is used, it can be prevented by a simple construction from rubbing against a recorded recording material already discharged to and supported on a recording material discharge supporting portion to thereby prevent the disturbance of the recording surface (image) thereof and improve the dischargeability and supportability of the recording material. A recording material discharge supporting unit is made removably mountable with respect to the main body of the recording apparatus, and the apparatus has a recording material holding member supported on the base member of the recording material discharge supporting unit by a recording material holding member holder and movable in the widthwise direction of the recording material, and a recording material holding member fixed onto the base member. The recording material holding members are characterized in that cams fixed to a cam shaft operatively associated with the rotative driving of a discharge roller are designed to be engaged with cam surfaces fixed to pivot shafts and pivotally moved about the pivot shafts to thereby change the recording material holding members to a holding position and a retracted position.
