Abstract:
1. An image recording apparatus comprising: an image recording section configured to record an image on a sheet, wherein the image recording section includes: the tray, the tray being disposed on a rear side of the apparatus at a first end of the second transport path, wherein the tray is configurable between a first position in which a length of the tray is parallel with the rear side of the apparatus and a second position in which the tray is inclined upward from the rear side of the apparatus, and an upper end of the tray in the first position is lower than a top of the apparatus; a sheet guide, wherein the sheet guide is configured to move between a third position and a fourth position in response to movement of the tray between the first position and the second position; a body, the tray being disposed on a side of the body, having a guide surface on which a sheet is to be guided and being configured to move between the first position where the tray is closed relative to the body and the second position where the tray is opened relative to the body; and a first feeding section configured to feed the sheet from the tray toward the image recording section, wherein the sheet guide comprises a restriction plate configured to move relative to the tray between the third position where the restriction plate is stored between the tray and the body and the fourth position where the restriction plate is inclined to the tray when the tray is in the second position, wherein the restriction plate is configured to move from the fourth position to the third position in response to the tray moving from the second position to the first position, and to move from the third position to the fourth position in response to the tray moving from the first position to the second position, wherein, when the restriction plate is in the fourth position and the tray is in the second position: wherein both ends of the restriction plate in a width direction perpendicular to the sheet feeding direction are fixed to the tray, and wherein the restriction plate comprises a first engaging portion engaging with the body and a second engaging portion engaging with the tray.
