Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an apparatus body, a feeding cassette, a pin member, a lever, an elastic member, and a guide mechanism. The feeding cassette is insertable into and ejectable from the apparatus body in one direction and includes an insertion position for insertion into the apparatus body and an ejection position for ejection from the apparatus body. The pin member is connected to the feeding cassette. The lever is rotatable around an axis in a first direction, and includes a pin engagement portion engaging with the pin member at a tip end in the axial direction. The elastic member includes a tip end connected between the rotation axis of the lever and the pin engagement portion of the lever, and adds a force for rotation in an insertion direction. The guide mechanism shortens a distance between the pin member and the rotation axis of the lever.
