Feed tray

1. A feed tray comprising:

a tray body that is fittable to a recording apparatus and that accommodates a stack of multiple sheets;

a tray plate that is disposed at a bottom of the tray body and that is pivotable so as to bring a downstream side of the accommodated sheets in a feeding direction into pressure contact with a feed roller disposed in the recording apparatus; and

a cover having a top plate that covers an upstream side, in the feeding direction, of an upper surface of the tray body,

wherein the cover is attached to the tray body such that at least the downstream portion of the cover in the feeding direction is movable away from the tray body when the cover is in a closed state for covering the upper surface of the tray body, and

wherein the top plate covers an entire upstream area, in the feeding direction, of the upper surface of the tray body extending outward from the recording apparatus when the feed tray is fitted to the recording apparatus ,

wherein an upstream portion of the cover in the feeding direction is axially supported so that the cover is rotatable relative to the tray body;

wherein the cover has a side plate provided perpendicular to a lower surface of the top plate and extending in the feeding direction of the sheets, and an upstream portion of the side plate in the feeding direction is axially supported so that the cover is rotatable relative to the tray body, and

wherein the cover and the tray body are respectively provided with a pair of lock portions for locking the cover and the tray body to each other when the cover is rotated into the closed state for covering the upper surface of the tray body, the lock portions being formed so as to be capable of adjusting the locked state during the closed state.

2. The feed tray according to claim 1 , wherein the top plate of the cover has a downstream edge, in the feeding direction, that extends linearly in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction.
