Claim Text:
1. A recording apparatus comprising: a casing of the recording apparatus; a pivotal member provided on the casing so as to pivot between a closed position in which the pivotal member covers at least a part of the casing and an open position in which the pivotal member is away from the closed position; a tray member disposed so as to pivot between an open position and a closed position with respect to the casing, and to be pressed to the open position by a pivoting motion of the pivotal member toward the open position; and a resetting device that cancels the pressing force of the pivotal member when the pivotal member is made to pivot to the closed position, to thereby reset the tray member to the closed position, wherein the resetting device includes a biasing device, and applies, when the pivotal member is moved toward the open position, a biasing force of the biasing device to the tray member so as to urge the tray member toward the closed position when the tray member is at an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position, and the resetting device cancels the pressing force of the pivotal member to the tray member and maintains the tray member in the open position, after the tray member is set to the open position from the intermediate position against the biasing force of the resetting device.
