〔産業上の利用分野〕
本考案は複写機の載設して使用される自動原稿
送り装置の改良に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of an automatic document feeder installed in a copying machine.
複写機に付設して使用される自動原稿送り装置
は、大型化すると重量も重くなつて操作性が悪く
なり、また製品の価格も増大することもあつて、
一般に原稿給紙皿の大きさをA3判の原稿を載置
出来るサイズに限定されているのが普通である。
As automatic document feeders used with copying machines become larger, they become heavier and less operable, and the price of the product also increases.
Generally, the size of the document feed tray is usually limited to a size that can accommodate an A3 size document.
従つて、かかる自動原稿送り装置を使用して
A3判を超えるサイズ例えばA2判の原稿によつて
複写を行う場合には、原稿のほぼ２分の１の面積
が原稿給紙皿から垂れ下るので、搬送中に落下し
たり、あるいは皺や折れ目を生じて原稿自体を傷
める危険があり、また極端な場合ジヤムを起して
搬送不能となることもある。 Therefore, using such an automatic document feeder
When copying a document larger than A3 size, for example, A2 size, approximately one-half of the document will hang down from the document feed tray, so it may fall off during transport, or it may get wrinkled or folded. There is a risk that the document itself may be damaged due to scratches, and in extreme cases, it may jam and become unable to be conveyed.
そのため、このような場合作業者は原稿の端部
を手で支えて原稿面を平担に保ち搬送に合せて手
送りをしなければならず自動原稿送り装置として
の効用は半減することになる。 Therefore, in such cases, the operator must support the edge of the document with his/her hand, keep the document surface flat, and manually feed the document as it is being transported, reducing its effectiveness as an automatic document feeder by half. .
また、かかる大型サイズの原稿による複写を行

操作が必要となる。 In addition, when copying such large-sized originals, if the copying machine has a switchable copying mode, in order to switch to exposure scanning by moving the original,
Operations such as fixing the exposure and imaging system of the copying machine in a fixed position and retracting the original stopper at the end of the original placing glass are required.
このように自動原稿送り装置による大型原稿の
複写には小型原稿の複写の場合と異つて原稿の取
扱いに多分の注意を要し、また手動で複写機の切
替操作をしなければならないという煩雑さがあつ
た。 In this way, copying large originals using an automatic document feeder requires greater care in handling the original than when copying small originals, and there is also the complication of having to manually switch the copying machine. It was hot.
本考案は、自動原稿送り装置における大型原稿
複写時の手動操作の一切を排除し、小型原稿同様
に自動的な原稿の搬送と複写とを可能とすること
を目的としたものである。
The object of the present invention is to eliminate all manual operations when copying large documents using an automatic document feeder, and to enable automatic conveyance and copying of documents in the same way as small documents.

The present invention provides a rotatable auxiliary tray at the end of the document feed tray opposite to the conveyance direction of the automatic document feeder, and when conveying small documents, the auxiliary tray is stacked on the document feed tray. When transporting a large original by placing the original on the surface of the auxiliary tray,
When the auxiliary tray is opened, its back surface forms an inclined surface that connects with the document feed tray to receive the document, and a magnet attached to the auxiliary tray is detected by a magnetic sensor built in the automatic document feeder. It is configured to automatically switch the exposure scanning mode of the copying machine based on a signal, and is pivoted at the side end of the document feed tray, closes to overlap the document feed tray, and opens to overlap the document feed tray. In addition to providing an auxiliary tray serving as an extension of the document feed tray, a detection means for detecting the opening/closing position of the auxiliary tray is provided, and the exposure mode in the copying machine is switched in conjunction with the opening/closing operation of the auxiliary tray. This is achieved by an automatic document feeder having a characteristic copying machine auxiliary tray.
本考案による自動原稿送り装置の一実施例を第
１図に示す。
An embodiment of an automatic document feeder according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
自動原稿送り装置１は、そのヒンジ部（図示せ

持され、手動によつて原稿載置台２０ａの上面を
開閉出来るようにもなつているので、プラテンカ
バーとして使用することも可能であるが、その自
動原稿送りの作動は次の如くして行われるように
なつている。 The automatic document feeder 1 has a hinge portion (not shown) supported by a member provided on the top surface of the copying machine 20, and is also capable of manually opening and closing the top surface of the document table 20a. Therefore, it can also be used as a platen cover, but its automatic document feeding operation is performed as follows.
原稿を原稿給紙皿２にのせ一対の原稿ガイド板
３をスライドして、その中心位置を定めて送りロ
ーラ４に当接させると原稿検知部材（図示せず）
の信号により前記送りローラ４、送りベルト５、
中間搬送ローラ６、それに搬送ベルト７がそれぞ
れ回転を始める。 When a document is placed on the document feed tray 2 and the pair of document guide plates 3 are slid to determine its center position and brought into contact with the feed roller 4, a document detection member (not shown) is detected.
The feed roller 4, the feed belt 5,
The intermediate conveyance roller 6 and the conveyance belt 7 each start rotating.
それによつて原稿は最上位の１枚だけが搬出し
表裏反転して原稿載置台２０ａに給送され原稿ス
トツパ（図示せず）で停止して露光を受けること
となるが、露光終了の信号により前記原稿ストツ

となつている。 As a result, only the topmost sheet of the original is carried out, reversed, and fed to the original mounting table 20a, stopped at an original stopper (not shown), and exposed to light. The document stopper retracts, the document is conveyed again, and at the same time, the document is discharged out of the apparatus by the document discharge roller 8 which starts rotating.
前記原稿給紙皿２は、A3判サイズ以下の原稿
を載置するに適した大きさにつくられているが、
本考案の自動原稿送り装置１においては、前記原
稿給紙皿２に加えて、前記装置１より派生した一
対のアーム１０に軸着して補助トレイ１１を設け
ている。 The document feed tray 2 is made in a size suitable for placing documents of A3 size or smaller.
In the automatic document feeder 1 of the present invention, in addition to the document feed tray 2, an auxiliary tray 11 is provided which is pivotally attached to a pair of arms 10 derived from the device 1.
前記補助トレイ１１は、金属板を折曲げ加工す
るか、あるいは合成樹脂の一体成形によつて構成
されたもので、第１図の実線に示す如く前記原稿
給紙皿２の上面に重複させた状態でその表面１１
ａ上にA3判サイズ以下の原稿を載置することが
出来るようその幅は前記原稿ガイド板３によつて
規制される幅すなわち最小原稿幅より小さい寸法
に制限されたものとなつている。 The auxiliary tray 11 is constructed by bending a metal plate or integrally molding synthetic resin, and is overlapped with the upper surface of the document feed tray 2 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Its surface in condition 11
In order to be able to place an original of A3 size or smaller on A3, its width is limited to a width regulated by the original guide plate 3, that is, a dimension smaller than the minimum original width.
また、前記補助トレイ１１は、反時計方向に回
動してその側縁部１２が前記装置１の外装面９に
当接する迄開放されると、一点鎖線にて示す状態
となり前記表面１１ａの反対側すなわち裏面１１
ｂが前記原稿給紙皿２を超える大きさの原稿の後
端部を受け止める位置を占める。 When the auxiliary tray 11 is rotated counterclockwise and opened until its side edge 12 comes into contact with the exterior surface 9 of the device 1, the auxiliary tray 11 is in the state shown by the dashed line, opposite to the surface 11a. side or back side 11
b occupies a position for receiving the rear end of a document larger than the document feed tray 2.
従つてA2判サイズの原稿により複写を行う場
合でも特に原稿に手を添える必要もなく、A3判
サイズ以下の原稿同様に自動原稿送りの機能が活
用されることとなる。 Therefore, even when copying an A2 size original, there is no need to touch the original, and the automatic document feeding function can be utilized in the same way as for A3 size or smaller originals.
さらに、本考案においては、前記補助トレイ１
１が開放されて大判サイズの原稿の載置が可能と
なつた状態で、複写機２０の露光モードを自動的
に切替え大判サイズの原稿の露光を可能としてい
る。 Furthermore, in the present invention, the auxiliary tray 1
1 is opened and a large size original can be placed thereon, the exposure mode of the copying machine 20 is automatically switched to enable exposure of a large size original.
すなわち、前記補助トレイ１１の開閉位置を検
知する検知手段が設けられていて、前記補助トレ
イ１１が反時計方向に開放されるとその側縁部１
２に取付けたマグネツト１３が前記装置１の外装

サ１４が前記マグネツト１３を感知し、その情報
にもとづいて前記自動原稿送り装置１および複写
機２０の露光モードを自動的に原稿移動形式に切
替えることが出来る。 That is, a detection means for detecting the opening/closing position of the auxiliary tray 11 is provided, and when the auxiliary tray 11 is opened counterclockwise, the side edge 1 of the auxiliary tray 11 is opened.
Since the magnet 13 attached to the automatic document feeder 1 and the copying machine 20 are close to the exterior part 9 of the apparatus 1, the magnetic sensor 14 built into the exterior part 9 senses the magnet 13, and based on the information, the automatic document feeder 1 and the copying machine 20 The exposure mode can be automatically switched to the document movement mode.
従つて、原稿サイズの変更に際しても露光モー
ド切替のための手動による操作が不用となり、作
業者の注意や労力が解消される。 Therefore, even when changing the document size, manual operation for switching the exposure mode is not required, and the operator's attention and effort are saved.
かくの如く本発明の補助トレイを有する自動原
稿送り装置は、大判サイズの原稿による複写作業
