Abstract

The invention provides a sheet storage cassette and an image forming apparatus therewith. The sheet storage cassette includes a cassette body, a cassette cover, and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a lock member swingably provided on a back-surface side of the cassette cover and engageable with a locking pin provided in the cassette insertion portion, and a biasing member biasing the lock member in a direction toward engagement with the locking pin. Along with an operation of inserting the cassette body into the cassette insertion portion, the lock member engages with the locking pin. In a state where the cassette body is inserted in the cassette insertion portion, by inserting a thin-plate shaped release member into a gap between the cassette cover and an exterior member arranged under and adjacent to the cassette cover, the lock member is caused to swing to release the engagement with the locking pin.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sheet storage cassette for storing a plurality of sheet-like recording media in advance and an image forming apparatus including the sheet storage cassette, and more particularly to a mechanism for locking the sheet storage cassette to the main body of the image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] In image forming apparatuses such as copiers and printers, paper feed cassettes (sheet storage cassettes) are used to feed cut sheets and the like. The paper feeding cassette stores a plurality of sheets of unprinted paper in advance, and the paper is separated one by one from the uppermost layer of the stack of paper stacked in the cassette by a paper feeding unit provided near the paper feeding cassette. [0003] Paper stored in a paper feed cassette in an image forming apparatus may be stolen. Therefore, an image forming apparatus having a locking mechanism for a sheet feeding cassette has been proposed. ...
