JPH03100564A - Press-contacting device of original - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an operator from forgetting the placed original and to improve operability by ejecting an original to an original press-contacting platen at the end of copying. CONSTITUTION:A paper eject sensor detects the completion of copying, and paper ejection. When plural copies are taken, the sensor detects the ejection of the last paper and the completion of copying. At this timing, a step motor 1 is rotated, and this driving ejects an original 3 to an original press-contacting device via a belt 2. Consequently, an operator can confirm that the original 3 is ejected to the original press-contacting device. Thus, forgetting placed originals is prevented to improve operability.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a copying machine equipped with a document pressure plate.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to prevent a document from being left behind in a copying machine equipped with a document pressure plate, a message is displayed on the operation panel or an audible notification is given after copying is completed. It has been.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, just displaying the message on the message display as in the above-mentioned conventional example does not provide a sufficient effect, and if the notification is made by sound, the noise may be harmful, and the effect on misplacing documents is insufficient. was insufficient.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems.The present invention discharges the original onto the original pressure bonding plate after copying is completed, prevents the original from being left behind, and improves operability. An object of the present invention is to provide a document pressing device with improved performance.

According to the present invention, the document pressing device is provided with a document ejecting or moving means (such as a belt), and by automatically ejecting the document after copying is completed (after paper is ejected), it is possible to prevent the document from being left behind and to replace the document. It is designed to automate some of the operations and improve operability.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a document pressing device according to the present invention.

1 is a motor, 2 is a conveyor belt, 3 is a document, 4 is a discharge guide, 5 is a document pocket, 6 is a main body of the copying machine, and 7 is a platen glass.

Now, the copying has finished in the state shown in Figure 1, and the paper ejection sensor (not shown) detects that the paper has been ejected (when copying multiple sheets, the last paper has been ejected or the copy step motor 1 at that timing.
is rotated (FIG. 2), and the document 3 is ejected onto the document pressing device by the belt 2 (FIG. 3). Since the operator can check the originals discharged onto the original pressing device, it is possible to prevent originals from being left behind.

Further, since the ejected original is loaded in the original pocket 5, the original is retained in the pocket even if the original pressing device is opened or closed (FIG. 4).

In addition, in this device, the document is conveyed only during ejection, and therefore there are no major restrictions on positional accuracy or speed, so it is possible to achieve this with a relatively simple configuration, such as an automatic document feeder. It can be made quite cheaply.

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is an apparatus that automatically moves the original to an area where the operator can visually check the original after copying is completed, thereby preventing the original from being left behind.

A cheaper and simpler configuration than the device shown in FIG. 1 is possible.

[Example 3] In the above example, the original is ejected onto the pressure bonding plate or on the front side.
However, depending on the configuration of the copying machine, it may be more convenient to eject and move to the left or right, and even in such a case, it can be achieved without significantly changing the configuration of the above embodiment.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, by providing the original fRa: receiving device with a means for automatically ejecting or moving the original after copying, it is possible to prevent the original from being left behind and improve operability. be.

In addition, it is possible to have a simpler configuration than an automatic document feeder.
It also has the effect of keeping costs low.
