Patent ID: 8783983

Claim:
A printer having a media path extending there through, the printer comprising: a frame; a chute assembly received within the frame and pivotable relative to the frame, the chute assembly including: a lower chute part pivotable about a first axis, the first axis being fixed relative to the frame; and an upper chute part pivotally coupled to the lower chute part, the upper chute part being pivotable about a second axis that is fixed relative to the lower chute part; wherein the lower chute part and the upper chute part are coupled to one another such that, when the upper chute part pivots about the second axis relative to the lower chute part, the lower chute part automatically pivots about the first axis; a support fixed relative to the frame; a slider having a surface that slidingly engages the support, the slider also being movably coupled to lower chute part such that a movement of the slider relative to the lower chute part results in a pivoting of the lower chute part about the first axis as the surface of the slider slidingly engages the support; and a cam that is fixed with respect to the upper chute part, such that pivoting the upper chute part relative to the lower chute part causes the cam to engage the slider, thereby causing the slider to move relative to the lower chute part and effectuating the pivoting of the lower chute part relative to the first axis.
