A discharge device includes a placement part on which a medium discharged from an apparatus body is placed and from which the medium is returned to the apparatus body, a loading part which is disposed on a lower side of the placement part to have a space between the loading part and the placement part and on which the medium discharged to the space from the apparatus body in a predetermined discharge direction is loaded, a support portion that is provided on the loading part to protrude toward an upper side of the loading part, includes an inclined surface having an upward gradient toward a downstream side in the discharge direction, and supports the medium which is loaded on the loading part at an upper end of the inclined surface, and an opening/closing part of which one end is rotatably mounted on a downstream portion of the loading part in the discharge direction and is opened and closed to a closed position where the opening/closing part closes a downstream portion of the space in the discharge direction and an open position where the downstream portion is open and a part of the medium loaded on the loading part is loaded on the opening/closing part; and an angle of a loading surface of the opening/closing part at the open position with respect to a horizontal is set to an angle at which a movement of the medium to the downstream side in the discharge direction is limited such that a centroid of a longest medium loaded on the loading part and the loading surface is positioned upstream of a downstream end of the opening/closing part in the discharge direction, and an imaginary line extending to the upper end from an upstream end of the inclined surface of the support portion in the discharge direction is along the loading surface of the opening/closing part at the open position.

A sheet feeding device includes a recording-medium container member that contains a recording medium; a restriction member that extends, at a downstream side of the recording-medium container member in a transporting direction of the recording medium, from one end side of the recording-medium container member in a width direction toward a location above the recording medium contained in the recording-medium container member, the restriction member including a restricting portion that restricts upward movement of the recording medium; and a guide member provided at the one end side of the recording-medium container member in the width direction and located upstream of the restriction member in the transporting direction of the recording medium, the guide member pressing the recording medium toward the other end side of the recording-medium container member in the width direction to adjust the transporting direction of the recording medium.

Sheet feeding device and image forming apparatus

Provided is an image forming apparatus including a main body that is provided with an insertion hole, and forms an image on a recording medium, and an insertion container in which the recording medium is stored, and that is inserted into the insertion hole, wherein the insertion container includes a first part, a second part that extends rearward in a direction of the insertion from the first part, and that is movable forward and backward in the insertion direction with respect to the first part, a fastening tool that fastens the second part to the first part, a releasing tool that releases the fastening tool when grasped, and that moves forward and backward with the second part, and a protruding tool that protrudes from the second part to the main body when the releasing tool is grasped, and that prevents the second part from being inserted into the insertion hole.

Image forming apparatus, and insertion container

Provided is a transporting device including a transport section that contacts with a material to be transported and that transports the material to be transported, a table on which the material to be transported is placed, a moving member that includes the table provided on an upper surface of the moving member so that an upper surface of the table is higher than the upper surface of the moving member in a vertical direction and moves the material to be transported, which is placed on the table, to a contact position where the material to be transported contacts with the transport section, and a positioning member that contacts with an end portion of the material to be transported in a width direction orthogonal to a transport direction in which the material to be transported is transported by the transport section.
