Abstract
A paper-feeding mechanism for a printing apparatus includes a delay engaging member and an unidirectional engaging member. The delay engaging member has a first gear and a first coupling member installed on the first gear. The first coupling member rotates relative to the first gear. The unidirectional engaging member has a third gear installed on the first coupling member. When a sheet of paper is pulled out along a first direction, the first gear rotates along a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. The first coupling member rotates along the second direction together with the first gear. The first gear stops rotating. The third gear and the first coupling member rotate along the second direction until the paper(s) caught in the printing apparatus are pulled out.

- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a paper-feeding mechanism is used to prevent papers being caught inside aprinting apparatus 500. The paper-feeding mechanism includes apaper feeding member 100, adelay engaging member 200 and a unidirectionalengaging member 300. Thepaper feeding member 100 includes twopaper feeding wheels 110 and adriving gear 120. When theprinting apparatus 500 is working normally, thedriving gear 120 rotates counterclockwise and drives the twopaper feeding wheels 110 in a clockwise direction, via thedelay engaging member 200, the unidirectionalengaging member 300 and a plurality of transmittinggears 400. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 to 5 , thedelay engaging member 200 includes afirst gear 210 and afirst coupling member 220. Thefirst coupling member 220 is capable of rotating relative to thefirst gear 210. The unidirectionalengaging member 300 includes asecond gear 310 installed on thefirst coupling member 220, athird gear 320, and asecond coupling member 330 which is installed between thefirst coupling member 220 and thethird gear 320. Thefirst coupling member 220 defines aslot 224 thereon for engaging with thesecond gear 310. Thethird gear 320 includes a transmittingportion 321 on one end. The transmittingportion 321 defines a plurality of first teeth (not shown) on an inner side for engaging with thesecond gear 310. - The
first gear 210 includes a circularfirst body member 211. Thefirst body member 211 includes afirst surface 212 and asecond surface 213 opposite to thefirst surface 212. A plurality ofsecond teeth 214 protrude from thefirst surface 212. A ring-shapedrotating portion 215 extends from thesecond surface 213. Afirst protrusion block 216 extends from thesecond surface 213 on one side of the rotatingportion 215. Thefirst protrusion block 216 includes afirst side 2161 and asecond side 2162 opposite to thefirst side 2161. - The
first coupling member 220 includes a ring-shapedsecond body member 221. Thesecond body member 221 defines ahollow cavity 222 therein. Thecavity 222 is capable of accommodating the rotatingportion 215. Asecond protrusion block 223 extends from one side of thesecond body member 221. Thesecond protrusion block 223 includes athird side 2231 and afourth side 2232 opposite to thethird side 2231. Thefirst coupling member 220 rotates relative to thefirst gear 210 when the rotatingportion 215 is received in thecavity 222. - When the
first gear 210 rotates counterclockwise until thesecond side 2162 abuts thethird side 2231, thesecond protrusion block 223 is pushed around byblock 216. Thefirst coupling member 220 rotates counterclockwise together with thefirst gear 210. When thefirst gear 210 rotates clockwise until thefirst side 2161 abuts thefourth side 2232, thesecond protrusion block 223 is again pushed around. Thefirst coupling member 220 rotates clockwise together with thefirst gear 210. - The
first coupling member 220 is engaged with thethird gear 320 in an exclusive counterclockwise direction. When thefirst gear 210 and thefirst coupling member 220 rotate counterclockwise, theslot 224 on thefirst coupling member 220 engages with thesecond gear 310. Thesecond gear 310 rotates counterclockwise together with thefirst gear 210 and thefirst coupling member 220. Thesecond gear 310 engages with the plurality of first teeth on the transmittingportion 321. Thethird gear 320 rotates counterclockwise together with thesecond gear 310. When thefirst gear 210 and thefirst coupling member 220 rotate clockwise, theslot 224 on thefirst coupling member 220 is not able to engage with thesecond gear 310. Thesecond gear 310 cannot be rotated clockwise together with thefirst gear 210 and thefirst coupling member 220. Thesecond gear 310 cannot engage with the plurality of first teeth on the transmittingportion 321. Thethird gear 320 cannot be rotated clockwise. - When the
third gear 320 rotates clockwise, thethird gear 320 engages with thesecond gear 310. Thesecond gear 310 rotates clockwise together with thethird gear 320. Thesecond gear 310 engages with theslot 224 on thefirst coupling member 220. Thefirst gear 210 and thefirst coupling member 220 rotate clockwise together with thesecond gear 310. When thethird gear 320 rotates counterclockwise, thethird gear 320 engages with thesecond gear 310. Thesecond gear 310 rotates counterclockwise together with thethird gear 320. Thesecond gear 310 cannot engage with theslot 224 on thefirst coupling member 220. Thefirst gear 210 and thefirst coupling member 220 cannot be rotated counterclockwise together with thesecond gear 310. - When the
printing apparatus 500 is working normally, thedriving gear 120 rotates counterclockwise and drives thefirst gear 210 to rotate counterclockwise via the plurality of transmittinggears 400. Thefirst gear 210 rotates counterclockwise until thesecond side 2162 abuts thethird side 2231, then thefirst protrusion block 216 pushes thesecond protrusion block 223. Thefirst coupling member 220 rotates counterclockwise together with thefirst gear 210. Thefirst coupling member 220 drives thethird gear 320 to rotate counterclockwise via thesecond gear 310 and thesecond coupling member 330. Thethird gear 320 drives the twopaper feeding wheels 110 to rotate clockwise via the plurality of transmitting gears 400. The twopaper feeding wheels 110 feed individual sheets of paper into theprinting apparatus 500 along a first direction. - When there is a sheet(s) of paper caught in the
printing apparatus 500, these papers are caught between the twopaper feeding wheels 110, thedelay engaging member 200, the unidirectional engagingmember 300 and the plurality of transmitting gears 400. Thedriving gear 120 rotates clockwise and drives thefirst gear 210 to rotate clockwise via the plurality of transmitting gears 400. When thefirst gear 210 rotates clockwise until thefirst side 2161 abuts thefourth side 2232, the caught papers are pulled out of theprinting apparatus 500 in a second direction opposite to the first direction. - The two
paper feeding wheels 110 rotate counterclockwise and drive thethird gear 320 to rotate clockwise via the plurality of transmitting gears 400. Thethird gear 320 drives thefirst coupling member 220 to rotate clockwise via thesecond gear 310 and thesecond coupling member 330. As thefirst coupling member 220 is rotating clockwise (until thethird side 2231 abuts the second side 2162), thefirst gear 210 is stationary in theprinting apparatus 500. Thedriving gear 120 and the plurality of transmittinggears 400 are also stationary. Thus, any papers caught in theprinting apparatus 500 can be pulled out easily, smoothly, and conveniently. - As the
first gear 210 is rotating clockwise until thefirst side 2161 abuts thefourth side 2232, thefirst coupling member 220 is rotating clockwise together with thefirst gear 210. Theslot 224 on thefirst coupling member 220 cannot engage with thesecond gear 310. Thefirst coupling member 220 cannot drive thethird gear 320 to rotate clockwise via thesecond gear 310 and thesecond coupling member 330. Therefore, any caught papers will not be caught further into theprinting apparatus 500. - Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present disclosure have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and functions of the disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and the arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
