Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the captioned device usable for sheets of irregular-size paper by providing a paper side restricting guide in a case body and engaging a stepped screw with a groove having a round hole provided on the bottom surface of said case body to make the positioning of said paper restricting guide desirably, in the catpioned device for an electrostatically transferring type copying machine, etc. CONSTITUTION:When sheets of regular-size paper are used, the H-cut part of the stepped part C of a stepped screw 25 is directed in the same direction as a groove 23, paper guides 6, 7 are slid to make the stepped screw 25 coincide with a round hole 22 matched with the paper size, and the screw 25 is 90 deg. turned and fixed. When sheets of irregular-size paper are used, the H-cut part of the stepped part C of the stepped screw 25 is directed in the same direction as the groove 23, the sheets of paper are put in a cassette, and the guides 6, 7 are slid to make the paper stop against the guides. Thereby, sheets of irregular-size paper can also be used with a single cut.
