Abstract:
A sheet feeding cassette includes a cassette body storing a sheet, and a cursor and a rack that position the sheet. The rack is disposed on a bottom of the cassette body and has rack-teeth. The cursor includes a cursor body having a contact face, a locking member having locking-teeth, and a handling member. The cursor body moves between a restricting position where the locking-teeth mesh with the rack-teeth to restrict cursor movement and an unrestricting position where the locking-teeth are separated above from the rack-teeth to allow cursor movement. The handling member is supported on the cursor body and is used to move the locking member. The locking member takes tilt-posture when moving between the restricting position and the unrestricting position. In the tilt-posture, the bottom face of the locking body inclines with respect to an imaginary plane including the rack teeth tips with the locking-teeth inclined.

Claim (Index 1):
A sheet feeding cassette comprising:\n a cassette body that stores a sheet to be fed in a predetermined sheet feeding direction; a cursor that is provided in a manner movable in a moving direction intersecting the sheet feeding direction and positions the sheet in the cassette body; and a rack that is disposed along the moving direction on a bottom face of the cassette body and includes a plurality of rack teeth provided at a predetermined interval to project upward, wherein the cursor includes a cursor body having a sheet-contact face that comes in contact with an edge of the sheet, and a locking member that is provided in the cursor body to lock movement of the cursor, the locking member includes a locking body having, on a bottom face, locking teeth projecting downward, the locking member being movable relative to the cursor body in a vertical direction between a restricting position where the locking teeth mesh with the rack teeth to restrict movement of the cursor and an unrestricting position where the locking teeth are positioned above and separated from the rack teeth to allow movement of the cursor, and the locking member takes a tilt-posture when moving between the restricting position and the unrestricting position, the tilt-posture being such that the bottom face of the locking body inclines with respect to an imaginary plane including distal tips of the rack teeth and the locking teeth incline with respect to the vertical direction to be displaced along the moving direction of the cursor.
