Image Recording Apparatus

An image recording apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus main-body;
• a tray configured to be drawn out from the apparatus main-body and configured to support a sheet;
• a feed roller configured to feed the sheet from the tray to a first transporting path, wherein the first transporting path includes a curved portion which is curved upward and an extending portion which is connected to the curved portion;
• a transporting roller configured to transport the sheet in a transporting direction and disposed downstream of the feed roller with respect to the transporting direction in the first transporting path;
• a recording portion disposed downstream of the transporting roller with respect to the transporting direction in the first transporting path and configured to record an image on the sheet which is transported through the extending portion of the first transporting path;
• a first guide member configured to define an outer wall of the curved portion of the first transporting path and configured to move between a first position at which the first guide member defines the curved portion, and a second position at which the first guide member opens the curved portion of the first transporting path;
• a second guide member configured to define an inner wall of the curved portion of the first transporting path;
• a third guide member configured to define an upper wall of a second transporting path, wherein the second transporting path is configured to connect a portion of the extending portion, which is located downstream of the recording portion with respect to the transporting direction, and a portion of the curved portion, which is located upstream of the transporting roller with respect to the transporting direction;
• a fourth guide member configured to define a lower wall of the second transporting path and configured to pivot between a third position at which the fourth guide member defines the second transporting path and a fourth position at which the fourth guide member is away downward from the third guide member than the third position;
• and
• a fifth guide member disposed at a pivoting front-end side of the fourth guide member, and configured to pivot between a fifth position at which the fifth guide member contact the first guide member and a sixth position at which the fifth guide member is separated from the first guide member, in a state that the fourth guide member is at the third position and the first guide member is at the first position.
