Cassette locking and alignment assembly

摘要

A tray with a ramp plate is insertable into a tray receiving assembly of a photocopier. The assembly includes an opening up through which a lift member is moveable for engaging the bottom of the ramp plate through an opening in the tray bottom when the tray is inserted. A locking bracket is pivotable to a position extending through the assembly opening to engage the bottom of the tray. A locking handle is linked to a shaft carrying the lift roller to hold the lift member in a disengaged position in which it keeps the locking bracket in a disengaged position. The base of the tray includes an elongate projection with a protruding upper surface about which the rear edge of the ramp plate is pivotable.
