Abstract:
This invention improves operability at a final stage of moving a slide unit in one direction. A withdrawal mechanism 14 includes a charge spring 45 charged with energy to interlock withdrawal of a sheet cassette, a lock member 39 locking the charge spring in a state of being charged with the energy, a ratchet mechanism releasing interlocking of the charge spring with the sheet cassette with respect to movement of the sheet cassette in a push-in direction, and an unlock member 70d interlocking the sheet cassette with the charge spring and releasing locking of the charge spring at a final stage of moving the sheet cassette in the push-in direction. The sheet cassette is moved in the push-in direction by the energy charged in the charge spring at the final stage of moving the sheet cassette in the push-in direction.
