Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned conventional image forming apparatus, since there are gaps between the unit main body and the positioning member, and between the positioning member and the front cover, it is difficult to improve the positioning accuracy of the front cover relative to the unit main body.
As a result, it is more difficult to align the multi-layered front cover with good accuracy in the horizontal direction.
Therefore, for example, when vertical grooves are provided on the front cover of multiple layers for the purpose of decoration, the vertical grooves are shifted in the horizontal direction in each layer to impair the appearance of the image forming apparatus.

Abstract

The invention provides a feed unit and an image forming apparatus therewith. A feed unit stackable with another feed unit in the up-down direction includes a unit body and a storage cassette. The storage cassette has a cassette body in which a recording medium is stored, and is removably inserted in the unit body. The unit body has a positioning member projecting from its top face to serve to position another feed unit loaded on the feed unit. The storage cassette has a side cover forming a part of the exterior face of the feed unit. The side cover has a fitting part extending toward the top face of the unit body, and in the fitting part, an engagement recess is formed with which the positioning member engages so as to position the storage cassette relative to the unit body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a supply unit and an image forming apparatus having the supply unit, and more particularly, to a supply unit provided with a storage case having a side cover constituting a part of a casing surface, and an image forming apparatus having the supply unit. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an image forming apparatus including a main body of the image forming apparatus and a multi-layer supply unit connected to the lower side of the main body of the image forming apparatus has been known. The supply unit includes: a unit main body with a positioning protrusion formed on the upper part for positioning relative to the image forming apparatus main body or other supply units; and a storage box capable of being pulled out and inserted into the unit main body. The storage box has a box body for storing paper (recording medium), and a front cover (side cover) constituting a part of the outer surface of the supply unit....
