Abstract

PURPOSE:To use an inexpensive reflecting-type sensor and to make a correct detection by regulating a height of a reflecting plate when the plate approaches the reflecting-type sensor. CONSTITUTION:An acutator 6 oscillates as it comes in touch with a paper 10 moving in a facsimile. A reflecting plate 8 set at a terminal end of a transmitting part of the actuator 6 approaches a reflecting-type sensor 4 on the basis of a shift of the actuator 6, thereby to drive the reflecting-type sensor 4. At this time, since a semi-circular regulating plate 11 regulates both the reflecting plate 8 and reflecting-type sensor 4 at a constant height, the reflecting-type sensor is able to correctly detect the presence/absence of the paper.

As is apparent from the above description, the heights of the reflection type sensor and the reflection plate can be regulated in the displacement by the actuator section for detecting the operating state, and the optimum height of the reflection type sensor can be controlled. Since a reflector can be placed on, the operation is stable. Further, since a slight displacement can be sufficiently absorbed by enlarging the reflector, accurate positioning is not necessary. Furthermore, because it uses a reflective sensor,
It is cheaper than the conventional type in which the substrate is attached to the photo interrupter.
