  • Sheet detecting device, sheet feeding unit including the same and image forming apparatus
    Patent number: 10486928
    Abstract: A sheet detecting device includes a moving member supported movably from a standby position to a detecting position detecting a sheet by being pushed by the sheet moving on a sheet stacking portion toward a first direction and a detecting sensor detecting the move of the moving member. The sheet detecting device also includes a retracting mechanism retracting the moving member movably to the detecting position in associate with a move of the sheet to a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
    Type: Grant
