Patent ID: 8339687

Claim:
A recording device that records on a recording medium and discharges the recording medium from a discharge exit in a discharge direction, the device comprising: a guide member having a guide surface that supports the recording medium after discharge from the discharge exit; a pair of side guide members that restrict a position of the recording medium relative to the guide surface traverse to the discharge direction; and a support mechanism that supports the pair of side guide members relative to the guide surface, the support mechanism operable to position the side guide members traverse to the discharge direction and lock the pair of side guide members in a desired position, the support mechanism comprising a pair of overlapping sliding members, each sliding member coupled with one of the side guide members and configured to move relative to the guide surface traverse to the discharge direction, and a pressure member configurable to clamp the sliding members together at a position where the pair of sliding members overlap to lock the side guide members in position, and unclamp the sliding members by displacing an operating part of the pressure member.
