Paper feeding apparatus for copying machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To permit a form-sheet to be released simultaneously with the pulling- out of a form-sheet tray by installing a retarding pad for nipping the form sheet, press-attached onto a feeding roller, onto a pad bracket which is pushed-down when the form-sheet tray is pulled-out. CONSTITUTION:A feeding roller 3 is installed at the upper edge part on the paper feeding side of a form-sheet tray 1 onto which form-sheets 2 are piled, and a retarding pad 4 for handling form-sheets is installed aslantly downward from the roller 3. In this case, the pad holder 4a for holding the elastic pad 4b of the pad 4 is fixed onto the upper edge of a pad bracket 5 by a machine screw 6. A compression spring 8 is installed between the spring receiving piece 5a of the bracket 5 and a frame 7, and the bracket 5 is freely swung around a pin 9. A convex part 5b is formed onto the bracket 5, which is pushed-down when the form-sheet tray 1 is pulled-out, and the pad 4 is separated from the roller 3.
