The swing lever 20 is formed with a handle 20' integral therewith, supported by the paper supply unit 5 through a shaft rod 26 and urged by a spring 27 in the direction of projecting a pair of pins 21 upward. Also, the swing lever 23 is formed with a hook 22 integral therewith, supported pivotally by a pin 29 on both sides of a member 28 fixed to the upper surface of a space in which the paper supply unit of a main body 1 is installed and urged to depress the hook 22 side by a spring 30. |
