Paper ejection tray assembly with flap part

Abstract

A paper ejection tray assembly for ejecting paper in an ejecting direction in an image reading device includes a tray body including a stacking surface for stacking an ejected paper, and a slide tray part which is pulled out from the tray body by a force, and a flap part which moves to an inclined position by the force when the slide tray part is pulled out. A height of the flap part from the stacking surface, at the inclined position gradually becomes higher from an upstream side toward a downstream side of the ejection direction to guide an ejected paper.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A paper ejection tray assembly for ejecting paper in an ejecting direction in an image reading device comprising:
 a tray body including a stacking surface for stacking an ejected paper; and   a slide tray part which is pulled out from the tray body by a force; and   a flap part which moves to an inclined position by the force when the slide tray part is pulled out,   wherein a height of the flap part from the stacking surface, at the inclined position gradually becomes higher from an upstream side toward a downstream side of the ejection direction to guide an ejected paper.   
     
     
         2 . The paper ejection tray assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a length of the flap part in the width direction is 50 mm or more, while a length in the ejection direction is 20 mm or more. 
     
     
         3 . The paper ejection tray assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a height of the downstream side end part of the flap part from the stacking surface when the flap part moves to the inclined position is 10 mm to 40 mm. 
     
     
         4 . The paper ejection tray assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein an inclination of the flap part from the stacking surface when the flap part moves to the inclined position is 10 degrees to 30 degrees.
