Abstract
A sheet accommodating cassette includes a sheet accommodating section, a sheet loading plate, and a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism includes a rotary shaft, a push-up plate, a coupling member, an actuator, and an urging member. The push-up plate lifts up and down the sheet loading plate by pivoting about the rotary shaft. Driving force is input from a cassette attachment section to the coupling member. The actuator projects from an end of the rotary shaft. The urging member urges the actuator in a direction in which the sheet loading plate pivots toward the lowered position.
