Abstract
An example apparatus includes a main body and a tray. The main body has a first wall, a second wall and a connecting portion. The first wall, the second wall and the connecting portion form a cavity, and the first wall has a recessed portion formed at a front end of the first wall. The recessed portion is recessed from an outer plane of the first wall. The cavity is to receive the tray therein. The tray has an edge portion, the edge portion being received in the recessed portion and forming a gap between the outer plane of the first wall and the edge portion.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An apparatus, comprising:
a main body having a first wall, a second wall and a connecting portion, wherein the first wall, the second wall and the connecting portion form a cavity, the first wall having a recessed portion formed at a front end of the first wall, the recessed portion being recessed from an outer plane of the first wall; and a tray, the cavity being to receive the tray therein, the tray having an edge portion, the edge portion being received between the recessed portion and the outer plane of the first wall and forming a gap between the outer plane of the first wall and the edge portion when the tray is inserted into the cavity.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the gap is sufficient to allow a user to reach therein.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the recessed portion includes a tapered portion.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first wall and the second wall form a pontoon structure, and wherein the connecting portion forms a platform of the pontoon structure.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the tray is slidingly received within or removed from the cavity.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the edge portion includes a gripping portion to facilitate sliding of tray away from the main body.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the main body includes an imaging portion.
8 . A system, comprising:
an imaging portion; a tray receiving cavity coupled to the imaging portion, the tray receiving cavity being formed by a first wall and a second wall, a recessed portion formed at a front end of the first wall, the recessed portion being recessed from an outer plane of the first wall; and a tray slidably received by or removed from the tray receiving cavity, the tray being accessible by the imaging portion to retrieve print media stored in the tray, the tray having an edge portion received between the recessed portion and the outer plane of the first wall and forming a gap between the outer plane of the first wall and the edge portion with the tray inserted into the cavity.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the gap is sufficient to allow a user to reach therein.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the recessed portion includes a tapered portion.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the first wall and the second wall form a pontoon structure, and wherein the imaging portion forms a platform of the pontoon structure.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the edge portion includes a gripping portion to facilitate sliding of the tray away from the tray receiving cavity.
13 . An apparatus, comprising:
an inner frame having a first wall and a second wall, wherein the first wall and the second wall form a cavity; an outer cover positioned on an outer surface of the first wall and the second wall, the first wall of the inner frame and a corresponding portion of the outer cover having a recessed portion at a front end, the recessed portion being recessed from an outer plane of the outer cover; and a tray to slidably engage the cavity, the tray having an edge portion being received between the recessed portion and the outer plane of the outer cover and forming a gap between the outer plane of the outer cover and the edge portion when the tray is inserted into the cavity, the gap being sufficiently large to allow a user to reach therein.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the inner frame is formed of a metal and the outer cover is formed of a molded plastic.
15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the edge portion includes a gripping portion to facilitate sliding of tray away from the cavity.Cited by (0)
