<p>PURPOSE:To reduce the number of parts in the title device, by forming a separating claw on one end of a separating member formed into an L-shape while inserting the other end thereof into a slot disposed on the bottom surface of a cassette case, and rotatably supporting the separating member on the side surface of the cassette case. CONSTITUTION:In order to house a recording material 6 in a cassette case 26, the recording material 6 is pushed down so that a loading plate 28 is lowered and a separating member 23 drops by the effect of its dead load. And thereat, the abutment of one end 30 of the separating member 23 to the edge surface, on a side opposite to a feeding direction, of a slot 29 restricts the downward oscillation of the separating member 23 so that a space for housing the recording material 6 is formed between the separating claw 31 of the separating member 23 and the loading plate 28. And next, the loading plate 28 is lifted up by the pushing force of a spring 32 so that the separating claw 31 is also pushed up because the separating claw 31 is engaged with the corner portion of the recording material 6. However, as one end 30 of the separating member 23 is in such a state as to be abutted to the end surface of the slot 29 on its anti-feeding side, further upward movement of the separating claw 31 is restricted.</p> |
