Copying machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To remove simply and easily a recording paper which has become a jam state in a fixing roller, by releasing a means for raising a copying machine body by using a part thereof as a supporting point, and a driving means which is connected to a fixing device by an operating means projected from the vicinity of the supporting point position by raising the copying machine body. CONSTITUTION:An oscillating lever 90 which can turn freely by using a revolving shaft 32c of a double purchase gear device 32a-32b as a supporting point is energized clockwise by a tension spring 91 and can engage said gear 33 which has been attached axially to a position where it is engaged to a small gear 32b of the double purchase gear device 32a-32b, to said gear 34. When the front of a copying machine body 1 drawn up so as to contact to the floor surface by an inclined face part 1a, the oscillating lever 90 turns counterclockwise against the tension spring 91 by weight of the copying machine and detaches the gear 33 from the engagement of the gear 34. As a result, a fixing roller becomes a state that it can rotate freely, and in case a recording paper which is carried from an image transfer part has caused a jam, the recording paper can be removed easily by drawing it out freely in the carrying direction or its reverse direction.
