Patent ID: 7484729

Claim:
An image forming apparatus, comprising: a loading portion that is capable of receiving a recording sheet, wherein the loading portion includes: a correction member which has a bending portion that divides the loading portion into an upstream side and a downstream side, wherein the bending portion selectively moves between a first position and a second position, the second position being located higher than the first position, a stopper that selectively moves between a closed position in which the stopper is stored in the correction member and an open position in which the stopper moves toward the downstream side of the correction member, wherein the stopper selectively rotates about a rotation axis, and wherein the stopper extends upward at a predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal surface when the stopper is at the open position, and an engaging portion that is located on a downstream side of the rotation axis, where the stopper contacts the engaging portion when the stopper is at the open position to support the stopper in the open position, and wherein the downstream side of the loading portion is substantially longer than the upstream side of the loading portion when the correction member is located at the second position, wherein the rotation axis of the stopper is fixed to the loading portion, and wherein the stopper is slidably stored in the correction member at the closed position.
