A sheet sorting device having a plurality of bin trays has a resilient member for imparting to a bin tray support member a force in the direction opposite to the direction of gravity and reducing a load applied to a bin tray drive source. A detecting device for stopping the driving of the drive source detects the movement of the drive source when the drive source moves up or down relative to the bin trays. A cam member has two lead portions, smooths the movement of the bin group and makes the amount of opening between the bins always constant.

An original feeding device has a supporting device for supporting originals thereon, a partition sheet inserted between a plurality of aggregations of originals supported on the supporting device for the partition of the aggregations of originals, a feed device for feeding the supported originals one by one, a sheet path for directing the originals fed by the feed device to an original processing station, and a device provided in the sheet path to detect the partition sheet fed by the feed device and detect the partition between the aggregations of originals.
摘要:
An automatic sheet feeder for feeding a sheet to a processing station to record the information on the sheet. Also, an image recording apparatus provided with such an automatic sheet feeder. The automatic sheet feeder includes a sheet stacking tray for supporting a stack of sheets, a feeder for feeding one by one the sheets out of the stack, a processing station for effecting a required processing to the surface of the sheet bearing the information to be recorded, which is being advanced by the feeder, and a conveyor for returning the sheet which has passed through the processing station to the stacking tray.
摘要:
A variable magnification copying apparatus which includes a first shaft having thereon a plurality of gears different in diameter, a second shaft having thereon a plurality of gears different in diameter, the gears of smaller diameters on the second shaft corresponding to the gears of larger diameters on the first shaft, a cam shaft having thereon a plurality of cams corresponding to the pairs of gears on the first and second shafts, a lever biased so as to bear against each of the cams, and a relay gear rotatably supported on each of the levers, and in which the movement of the levers is controlled by intermittent rotation of the cam shaft, the gears on the first shaft are operatively associated with the gears on the second shaft through the relay gears on the controlled levers, and the number of relative rotations of the first and second shafts is varied by the gear ratio of the operatively associated gears, whereby the ratio of the original scanning velocity to the velocity of a photosensitive medium is changed correspondingly to a selected magnification.
摘要:
A mechanism for mounting and dismounting a screen-like photosensitive medium having a number of fine openings with respect to an apparatus body. It is known to form a screen-like photosensitive medium into the shape of a drum, but according to the present invention, the photosensitive medium and a gear for driving the photosensitive medium are constructed independently of each other to leave the gear on the apparatus body side, and a device for directing a current applied to the photosensitive medium side is provided inside of the gear with a sliding member interposed therebetween. The side surface of the photosensitive medium which corresponds to the gear is provided with a construction similar to the gear portion, thereby facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the screen-like photosensitive medium with respect to the apparatus body.

A cleaning apparatus for an electrophotographic apparatus comprising an elastic cleaning blade with a holder arranged along a surface of a photosensitive member for cleaning the toners which still remain on the surface of a photosensitive member even after transferring of developed images to a copying paper is finished. The elastic cleaning blade preferably contacts with the surface of the photosensitive member in such a way that the axis of the blade and a tangent to said surface at the pre-cleaning side subtends an obtuse angle specified in relation with the axis line of the blade in the holder. The holder disposes the elastic cleaning blade relative to the photosensitive member to engage a substantially upwardly moving surface portion of the photosensitive member.
摘要:
A cleaning device for removing developer from the surface of a reusable and movable image bearing member comprises a cleaning member which extends transversely of the movement direction of the image bearing member, a device for transporting the removed developer along the transverse direction, a passageway for leading the transported developer to a collecting element, and a rotatable helical member for preventing the deposition of the removed developer on the passageway.
摘要:
A slit exposure device of the type in which an original carrier is fixed and an optical system is movable. A driving force transmitting member adapted to move an optical system is passed over output shafts, and rotation of the output shafts causes two groups of optical elements to be reciprocated at a speed ratio of 2 : 1. One of the movable groups of elements requires that an electric cord be connected thereto, wherein one end of the electric cord is fixed, the direction of the cord being changed during movement by means of a rotatable member.
摘要:
A driving device for a moving body comprises a drive shaft normally rotated in one direction by a drive source, a follower shaft in engagement with the drive shaft to transmit the drive to the moving body, one-way connecting means loosely mounted on the drive shaft to connect and disconnect the drive of the drive shaft to the follower shaft, and accumulator means for accumulating the returning force of the moving body by utilizing the movement of the moving body resulting from the normal rotation of the follower shaft. The follower shaft may be reversed in rotation by the accumulator means upon disconnection of the one-way connecting means and the speed of the reverse rotation of the follower shaft is controlled by operation of the one-way connecting means so as not to exceed the driving speed of the drive shaft.
