Provided is a sheet stacking tray such that damage due to external force can be suppressed. The sheet stacking tray () is provided with a tray body (), a first slide member (), and a second slide member (). When the first slide member and the second slide member are pulled out, the engagement between a first storage catch portion () of the tray body and a first latch portion () of the first slide member is released, and then the engagement between a second storage catch portion () of the first slide member and a second latch portion () of the second slide member is released.

An electric appliance includes an appliance main body, a recess, and a power switch. The recess is arranged in a side surface of the appliance main body, and has a front surface-side inclined surface which is inclined to the side surface and which points to the rear surface side of the appliance main body. The power switch is arranged on the front surface-side inclined surface not to protrude out beyond the side surface.

Electric appliance

Provided is an image-forming device with which it is possible to achieve a smaller size while suppressing a reduction in visibility or operability of an operation panel. In this image-forming device, paper sheets are discharged from the rear side of the device toward the front side of the device, and the image formation device is provided with: a paper-sheet-loading unit in which the paper sheets are loaded; an operation panel disposed on the downstream-side end in the paper sheet discharge direction of the paper-sheet-loading unit, at least a part of the operation panel being disposed in a loading region of the paper-sheet-loading unit; and a protruding part disposed to the side of the operation panel in the loading region, the protruding part protruding upward from the top surface of the paper-sheet-loading unit, and extending in the paper sheet discharge direction.

Image forming apparatus

An electric apparatus includes a power cord having first and second plug portions, and a cord portion, a plug insertion recessed portion, and a cord housing groove. The plug insertion recessed portion has an insertion surface that is formed at a position recessed inward from a side surface, and to which an inlet is attached, a first slope extending from a lower end part of the insertion surface, and a second slope extending from an upper end part of the insertion surface. In a state where the first plug part has been inserted in the inlet, a distance a from a lower end part of the first plug portion to the lower edge of the plug insertion recessed portion and a distance b from an upper end part of the first plug portion to the upper edge of the plug insertion recessed portion satisfy a relationship of a&#x3e;b.

Electric apparatus

A sheet feeding cassette includes a storage region, a front portion, and a bottom portion. On the storage region, a sheet is stored. The front portion is disposed on a downstream side with respect to the storage region in a drawing direction. On the bottom portion, the sheet is placed. In the front portion, an opening is formed through which the storage region is visible. Within the storage region, the bottom portion is formed in white or a pale color. At least a part of the visible region in the storage region is formed to be different in lightness by three or more in Munsell value from a light-color part of the bottom portion, the light-color part being formed in white or the pale color.

Sheet feeding cassette and image forming apparatus including the same

A sheet feeding cassette according to the present disclosure includes a storing region and a front surface portion. The storing region stores a sheet. The front surface portion is disposed on a downstream side of the storing region in a drawing direction and composes a portion of an outer surface of an image forming apparatus. The one side portion and other side portion of the front surface portion in a left-right direction are respectively provided with a first opening portion and a second opening portion where the storing region can be visually checked.

The present invention provides an electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a photosensitive layer that contains at least a charge generating agent, a hole transport agent and a prede mulas (A) and (B). The electrophotographic photoreceptor prevents image defect termined additive. The hole transport agent satisfies the following for from occurring and can meet the demand for higher speed image forming apparatuses, by reducing the adhesion of paper dust and preventing the occurrence of cracks. 

Electrophotographic photoreceptor and image forming apparatus

An electrophotographic photoconductor having an excellent crack resistance and wear resistance as well as excellent sensitivity characteristics, while keeping good image characteristics of the photoconductor is provided. In addition, an image-forming apparatus equipped with such an electrophotographic photoconductor is also provided. The electrophotographic photoconductor includes a photosensitive layer containing at least a charge-generating agent, a hole-transfer agent, and a binder resin on a conductive substrate. The hole-transfer agent has a solubility of 5 to 35% by weight with respect to triglyceride oleate and the photosensitive layer contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1) as an additive: 

Electrophotographic photoconductor and image-forming apparatus

A stilbene derivative compound having a specific substituent at the specific position thereof to exert good compatibility with a binder resin and to tend to be uniformly dispersed in a photoconductive layer so as to allow prolonged specified sensitive property, a process for the production thereof, and an electrophotographic photoconductor containing the stilbene derivative compound are provided. For preparing a stilbene derivative compound represented by the general formula (1), a specified formylated triphenylamine derivative compound and a specified diphosphate ester derivative compound are allowed to be reacted with each other in the presence of a catalyst. (wherein 'A' is a divalent organic group having aromatic hydrocarbon as a basic skeleton, each of the plural Rto Ris a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or the like, each of the plural Arand Aris a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, each of repeating numbers a and b is an integer of 0 to 4, and c is an integer of 1 to 3.)
