ABSTRACT:
A paper feed cassette capable of detecting the size of the recording medium loaded on the paper feed cassette, and an image formation device comprising this recording medium size detector. Side fences and an end fence are slidably provided to a cassette body detachably installed in the body case, and a first movable member which moves in synchronization with the sliding motion of the side fences, and a second movable member which moves in synchronization with the sliding motion of the end fence are provided to the cassette body in an overlapping state. A plurality of synthesized convex portions are formed by overlapping a plurality of first convex portions formed on the first movable member and a plurality of second convex portions formed on the second movable member, and, by sliding the side fences and the end fence in accordance with the size of the recording medium loaded on the cassette body, the width size and position of the synthesized convex portions change in accordance with the size of the recording medium loaded on the cassette body.
