Abstract

PURPOSE:To correct the original sheet at the time of paper feeding, by furnishing either a reversing roller or paper feed roller with a pair of thin rings projectingly. CONSTITUTION:A reversing roller 6 is fitted slidingly in a bearing 12 with a rotary shaft 8 interposed to press the paper feed roller 4 relatively. On both sides of this reversing roller 6 on the rotary shaft 8, friction plates 9a, 9b are mounted, and the plate 9b is pressed by a coil spring 11. A pair of thin rings 7a, 7b of rubber are installed on the circumferential surface of the reversing roller 6, and the friction plates 9a, 9b and coil spring 11 are arranged to constitute a torque limiter. Owing to this torque limiter, rotation of the rotary shaft 8 in the E direction will actuate rotation of the reversing roller 6 also in the E direction, in case load on the reversing roller is small, to make possible feed of original sheets one after another separated, and a correction is made by allowing first only the reversing roller 6 to contact for the purpose of obtaining free rotation before the sheet is bitten by the rollers 4, 6.

First, the friction plates sa and eb and the coil spring 11 constitute a torque limiter. That is, when the load applied to the reversing roller 6 is small due to the action of this torque limiter, when the rotary shaft 8 rotates in the direction of the arrow X in FIG. 2, the reversing roller 6 also rotates in the direction of the arrow E and reverses. On the other hand, when the load applied to the reversing roller 6 is large, the reversing roller 6 does not rotate in the arrow E direction even if the rotating shaft 8 rotates in the arrow X direction. Therefore, the paper feed roller 4 and the reversing roller 6
If there is no original to be transmitted or only one original to be transmitted is present between the reverse roller 6 and the
direction, and when there are multiple documents to be sent between the paper feed roller 4 and the reversing roller 6, the reversing roller 6
By setting the limit of the torque limiter so that the document rotates in the direction of the arrow X, it is possible to separate and feed a plurality of documents to be sent one by one. The limit of the torque limiter can be adjusted by moving and fixing the stop member 10b in the direction of the arrow C in FIG. 3 or in the opposite direction.

15b is an annular rubber 7a on the feeding roller 4 and the reversing roller 6.

First, the transmission document 14 is placed in the fourth position in the paper feeding direction (arrow H).
Deflect as shown. At this time, a bent portion 14a of the original document 14 is generated on the guide plate 2b side of the original document 14 to be transmitted. At the first instant, the edge of the original 14 is held between the feeding roller 4 and the annular rubber 7b at the contact point 15b, and after a very short time, the edge of the original 14 is held at the contact point 15a. It is also held between the feeding roller 4 and the annular rubber 7a.

By the way, it takes a very short amount of time from when the edge of the original 14 is clamped at the contact point 15b to when it is clamped at the contact point 15a, and during that time, the original 14 is clamped only at the contact point 16b. . That is, the document 14 has a degree of freedom in rotation about the contact point 16. Furthermore, the bent portion 1 of the original 14
There is always a restoring force working in 4a that tries to return to its original state. Therefore, when the original 14 is held only at the contact point 15b, the original 14 instantly rotates in the direction of the arrow C in FIG. When they come into contact, their rotation stops, so the deflection of the document can be corrected.

In the above detailed description of the present invention, the material of the annular body provided at a distance on the circumferential surface of the reversing row 26 is rubber, but this is not limited to an elastic body such as rubber, but may also be made of aluminum or the like. It may be a rigid body, but according to experiments, 0
The ring was perfect. Further, the annular body may be provided on the feeding roller side instead of the reversing roller, but experiments have shown that it is preferable to provide the annular body on the reversing roller side. Further, the vertical positional relationship between the feeding roller and the reversing roller is irrelevant to the present invention, and the reversing roller may be placed above and the feeding roller may be placed below.
