Abstract
A post-processing device includes a processing tray on which a medium recorded by a recording portion is loaded, and a first paddle which is an example of a transportation member provided above the processing tray and rotating to transport the medium toward the upstream in a transport direction. In addition, the post-processing device includes a roller which is an example of a rotating body provided above the rotation shaft of the first paddle, and a paddle unit frame which is an example of an upper member provided above the roller. The roller and the paddle unit frame are positioned within a rotation locus of the first paddle.
Claims15
A post-processing device comprising:
- a processing tray on which a medium recorded by a recording portion is loaded;
- a transportation member that is provided above the processing tray, and, by rotating around a rotation shaft, transports the medium toward upstream in a transport direction;
- a rotating body provided above the rotation shaft of the transportation member;
- and
- an upper member provided above the rotating body,
- wherein the rotating body and the upper member are positioned within a rotation locus of the transportation member, and
- wherein the transportation member comes into contact with the rotating body at a time of rotating.
A post-processing device comprising:
- a processing tray on which a medium recorded by a recording portion is loaded;
- a transportation member that is provided above the processing tray, and, by rotating around a rotation shaft, transports the medium toward upstream in a transport direction;
- a rotating body provided above the rotation shaft of the transportation member;
- and
- an upper member provided above the rotating body,
- wherein the rotating body and the upper member are positioned within a rotation locus of the transportation member, and
- wherein a friction coefficient between the rotating body and a shaft of the rotating body is smaller than a friction coefficient between the rotating body and the transportation member.
A post-processing device comprising:
- a processing tray on which a medium recorded by a recording portion is loaded;
- a transportation member that is provided above the processing tray, and, by rotating around a rotation shaft, transports the medium toward upstream in a transport direction;
- a rotating body provided above the rotation shaft of the transportation member;
- and
- an upper member provided above the rotating body, the upper member providing an arrangement space for a driving mechanism that drives the transportation member,
- wherein the rotating body and the upper member are positioned within a rotation locus of the transportation member.
