Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image recording apparatus includes a first pullout unit, a second pullout unit, and a first lock mechanism. The first unit is movable along a first axis between a first retracted position where the first unit is fully retracted in the apparatus, and a first exposed position where at least one side surface thereof is fully exposed to the front of the apparatus. The second unit is movable along a second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis, between a second retracted position where the second unit is fully retracted in the first unit, and a second exposed position where the second unit is exposed to a side of the side surface of the first unit. The first lock mechanism prevents movement of the second unit from the second retracted position to the second exposed position when the first unit is not in the first exposed position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image recording apparatus comprising: a paper feeding section for storing paper; an image recording section for recording an image on paper; a paper output section for receiving the image-bearing paper; a paper transport path for transporting paper from the paper feeding section, via the image recording section, to the paper output section; and a unit pulling-out mechanism including: a first pullout unit movable along a first axis between a first…
