Benefits of technology

[0015]With this configuration, the upper tray is configured to be independently detachably mounted in the main body of a recording apparatus that performs recording on the recording media in a state in which the upper tray is removed from the lower tray. Accordingly, the recording media can be fed from the upper tray without using the lower tray, thereby further improving usability.
[0016]There is provided a recording media feeding device that feeds the recording media in a fifth example, in whi

Embodiment Construction

[0023]An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view which shows a sheet transportation path in an ink jet printer (hereinafter referred to as a “printer”) 1 which is an example of a “recording apparatus” of the invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a sheet cassette 100 which is an example of a “recording media cassette” of the invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a section of an essential part of the sheet cassette 100. In addition, the rightward direction in FIG. 1 is a sheet feeding direction, while a direction perpendicular to the sheet feeding direction is a sheet width direction.

[0024]FIGS. 4A and 4B are perspective views of an edge guide 52, showing a state in which a guide surface of the guide is at a normal position (first state) and a state in which the guide surface of the guide is at an elevated position (second state), respectively. Further, FIGS. 5A and 5B are perspective views of an edg...

Abstract

A recording media cassette includes a lower tray that stores recording media therein, and an upper tray that stores recording media therein and is mounted on the lower tray so as to be detachable from the lower tray.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to recording media cassettes that are detachably mounted in the main body of an apparatus. Further, the present invention relates to recording apparatuses, such as facsimile machines or printers, having a recording media feeding device that feeds recording media from the recording media cassette.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Sheet cassettes that are detachably mounted in the main body of an apparatus are commonly used. In particular, JP-A-2006-273565 and JP-A-2007-91445 disclose a detachable sheet cassette (tray) having a dual-container configuration composed of upper and lower sheet containers. A sheet container that stores sheets therein in a recording apparatus is generally called various names, including “cassette”, “tray” and so forth. In the following description, an entire unit that is detachably mounded in the main body of the apparatus is referred to as a “cassette”, while each sheet container that is provide...
