Abstract

A paper feed cassette provided with a size detection mechanism that detects the size of paper contained in the paper feed cassette, the size detection mechanism including: a pair of side limitation plates (101a) that abuts opposite lateral sides of the paper from a width direction intersecting a paper feed direction of the paper; a link member (320) that moves along the paper feed direction with movement of the side limitation plates (101a) in the width direction; a size detection member (310) that is provided relative to the link member (320), that moves with movement of the link member (320) along the paper feed direction, and that can enter a state in which the size detection member is abutting or not abutting an externally provided size detection sensor in the width direction of the paper; and a biasing member (400) that provides the link member (320) with a biasing force in a direction of the movement of the link member (320).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to image forming apparatuses such as copiers, printers, and facsimile machines (FAX), and to a structure of a paper feeding cassette and an image forming apparatus having the paper feeding cassette. Background technique [0002] The image forming apparatus is provided with a size detection mechanism that detects the size of paper stored in a paper feeding cassette. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-187626 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-81259 disclose a paper feeding cassette provided with such a size detection mechanism and an image forming apparatus having the paper feeding cassette. [0003] The size detection mechanism installed in the paper feeding cassette requires the stability of its operation. If the operation of the size detection mechanism is unstable and the accurate paper size cannot be detected, the reliability of the operation of the image forming apparatus will be affected.
