    摘要: An accommodating device includes a device body, an accommodating unit that is movable to a supply position where a user is able to supply a medium by being pulled out from the device body in a pulling direction and of which a centroid position is located on one side surface side with respect to a center in an intersecting direction with the pulling direction, a first expanding and contracting member that expands and contracts to connect the accommodating unit to the device body so as to be able to be pulled out and is fixed to one side surface of the accommodating unit in the intersecting direction, and a second expanding and contracting member that expands and contracts to connect the accommodating unit to the device body so as to be able to be pulled out and is fixed at a position higher than the first expanding and contracting member on the other side surface of the accommodating unit in the intersecting direction.

    摘要: A conveyance device includes: a conveyance unit that conveys a material to be conveyed; a guide unit that guides the material to be conveyed, the guide unit being movable between a first position at which a first conveyance path is formed and a second position at which a second conveyance path is formed; a driving unit that drives the conveyance unit and the guide unit; a restriction unit that comes into contact with the guide unit moving in a moving direction from the second position to the first position at the first position by a driving force of the driving unit to restrict the movement of the guide unit in the moving direction; and a blocking unit that blocks transmission of the driving force of the driving unit to the guide unit when a moving load greater than or equal to a predetermined load acts on the guide unit moving in the moving direction.
