Separating device for transfer material of copying machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To make transfer paper separable surely and safely from a photoreceptor by rotating and driving a porous separating roller disposed in the moving direction of transfer paper at the same speed as the moving speed of a photoreceptor, and providing a pressing means which presses the separating roller until it deforms. CONSTITUTION:A transfer paper conveying means consists of a pair of belt rollers 18, 19, a suction box 20 which is provided between these rollers, has suction holes 20a... in parallel with a conveying direction arrow (a), and is connected to a suction device, a chain 23 put on the sprockets 21, 22 which are secured respectively to the shafts 18a, 19a of both rollers, and plural endless belts put on mutually spacially between both rollers. The chain 23 is connected to a driving source, and is turned in an arrow direction, thereby rotating the endless belts 24 clockwise at the speed approximately equal to the rotation of a photosensitive drum 1. Thereby, the transfer paper is separated surely and stably from the photoreceptor.
