Abstract

PURPOSE:To mitigate the shock sound at the time of lifting by arranging a conductive resin material having flexbility and electric resistance between a bottom plate and a lift member in a device feeding the paper by lifting the bottom plate of a paper feed cassette with the lift member. CONSTITUTION:A paper feed bed 3 to which a recording paper cassette 2 is to be fitted is provided on a device main body 1. A conductive bottom plate 4 on which multiple sheets of the recording paper X are stacked is contained in the cassette 2, and the bottom plate 4 is capable of being lifted toward a paper feed unit 6 by a lift member 5. A coupling roller 8 having flexbility and electric resistance and made of a conductive resin material is supported at the tip section of the lift member 5. Thereby, the shock force generated when the bottom plate 4 is lifted by the lift member 5 is mitigated by means of the deformation of the conductive rubber layer 8b of the coupling roller 8, thus suppressing the shock sound between both 4, 5. At the same time, discharging of electric charges of the cassette 2 to the lift member 5 is mitigated by the conductive rubber layer 8b.

By the way, when an electrophotographic copying machine is operated in an environment with low humidity, since both the recording paper cassette and the recording paper are made of electronic insulating materials, they are charged with a considerable amount of static electricity due to friction caused by the paper feeding operation. Therefore, when the bottom plate of the recording paper cassette is flipped up by the flip-up member, this static electricity momentarily escapes to the machine body through the flip-up member, and the electronic elements may malfunction due to the instantaneous current generated during this discharge. be.

In the conventional paper feeder t, the bottom plate of the recording paper cassette comes into impactful contact with the flip-up member that rises rapidly due to the force of a spring or the like, and thus a contact sound is generated between them. In particular, this contact sound becomes an unpleasant noise in a paper feeder in which the bottom plate of the recording paper-cassette is thrown up every time the paper is fed.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve all at once the malfunction of electronic devices caused by electrostatic discharge and the abnormal noise when the bottom plate starts to flip up, as described above. It is proposed that the contact surface component between the flip-up member be made of a conductive material with elasticity and electrical resistance.

, At are sectional views of a paper feeder according to the present invention, and the body, which is designated as a whole by reference numeral 1, is provided with a paper feed tray 8 on which a recording paper cassette 2 can be mounted. In the recording paper cassette z, there is a conductor that allows multiple sheets of recording paper X to be stacked.
A bottom plate 4 is housed therein, and the bottom plate 4 is flipped up toward the paper feed unit 6 by a flip-up member 5, the details of which will be described later. The paper feed unit 6 has an endless belt (fsa) for pulling out the recording paper X from the recording paper cassette 2, and the recording paper X transported by the endless belt fla is transferred to the endless belt 6.
The sheets are taken out one by one by a peeling member 6b that is pressed against the surface of the sheet a.
