DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paper storage device, more specifically, a paper storage device that is closed adjacent to a paper discharge port of a paper handling machine of a copying machine. An ejection belt is provided in the section, and the paper is ejected from the copying machine through an ejection port. The paper discharged to the outside of the subject machine is stored in a paper storage device provided adjacent to the discharge port. An example of a conventional paper storage device is shown in Figures #1 & 7 and Figure 1. wJ/The figure shows the ejection section of the copying machine, with an ejection port 22 and an ejection belt 3 on the left side of the side cover 1 of the copying machine, and a paper storage device, that is, a paper storage tray on the right side. 4 is provided. The 1111-side cover IK is carved with an opening for discharging paper, that is, a paper discharge port 5, and a paper tray plate 6 is arranged between the paper discharge port 5 and the paper storage tray 4. . In this paper receiver, an electrical equipment is arranged below the plate 6. On the other hand, a vacuum conveyor ii*s is provided upstream of the discharge belt 3, and between this discharge belt 3 and the true 9 conveyor t8, the paper is transferred from the vacuum conveyor 8 to the discharge belt 3. A passing member 9 is provided for the support.

By the way, most recent copying machines are equipped to handle paper of a plurality of sizes, and therefore, paper storage devices are also equipped with means for storing paper of a plurality of sizes. As a means for this, a conventional paper storage tray has a first W.
As shown in Figures A and 1, buttons and b are provided with large-1 and b' at positions corresponding to six sizes of paper, and 10 tyca' or b' in the middle depending on the size of the paper to be accommodated. The insertion method is used. To explain based on an example, ^
When storing A3 or ^ paper, the stopper 410 is inserted into the hole a/, and when storing A3 or ^, the stopper p#lQ is inserted into the hole b'.

However, this method has the disadvantage of having to move the paper every time the size of the paper changes.
This becomes an extremely cumbersome task when accommodating papers of size 11 at a time.

Overall, it is an object of the present invention to overcome such drawbacks and provide a paper storage device that does not require moving the tray 4' even if the size of the paper to be stored differs. .

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a paper storage device that includes a first storage section adjacent to the paper ejection port, a #1 storage section adjacent to the Km/m collection section, and a second storage section adjacent to the first storage section. a pair of @ walls spaced apart by a length slightly larger than the width of the paper having the seventh dimension are provided in the first housing part and the second housing part; A first stock 4' is provided between the storage section and each third storage section, and #! 3 At the end of the accommodating part,
By providing the second stopper which is higher than the stopper, paper of the seventh dimension is accommodated in the first storage section, and paper of the first dimension larger than the first dimension t#G/straddles the accommodation section and the first accommodation section K. Paper of a third dimension larger than the first dimension is stored in the third storage section, and paper of a ninth dimension larger than the paper of the third dimension is stored in the seventh storage section, the roko storage section and the paper storage section.

Next, the operation of the paper storage device manufactured by Hontaka 181IK will be explained. In the paper storage device according to the present invention, the storage location differs depending on the size of the paper, so paper of each size will be explained below. First, the case where A9 paper is discharged from the paper roll outlet 5 will be described. This AII paper is fed sideways, that is, in the direction along the short side. This fed-out 7'cA4 paper falls down on the inclined surface 16δ of the paper plate 16 of the first storage section 130, and further falls on this inclined surface 11fi.
Surface 17 of flat tray 17 with a larger slope than i16B
A falls all the way down, and the tip, that is, the long side of the hehiro paper, is stopped by the middle strut and 19, and the second storage @
It is accommodated in 14. The distance between both 111 walls 14a is the length of the short side of A3 + the length of α, so A+ paper is placed in the Kiko storage section 14
It is fully accommodated in the area defined by the middle stock/middle 19 and both side walls 14a. Grain accommodating portion 14 and side wall 14a
The length of is the ninth that accommodates this A9 paper, AIl, paper,
The length of the short side of ) is longer than 0□). Next, the case where A3 paper is discharged from the paper cultivation outlet 5 will be described. The A3 paper is discharged vertically, that is, in the direction along the long side. This A3 paper sent out is the same as the aforementioned Batani! The A3 paper slides down the slope 18 surface 16a and the plate tray I 11 surface 17, and the short side part 7 is caught in the middle corner 19.
Since it has an area twice as large as that of the paper, the rear end remains in the first collecting section 13. That is, the A3 paper is stored across the seventh storage section 13, the first storage section 14, and K. Furthermore, as in the case described above, the first storage section 13 and the second storage section! ! 11
The distance between the 140 Ryobi walls 13 and 14- is the length of the short side of A3 + the length of A3, so the A3 paper is 4113- and 14m on both sides of the first accommodating part 13 and the first accommodating part 14 and the intermediate stopper 19. So 1! It is well accommodated within the spaced area. In addition, the length of III/accommodation 1113 and third accommodation 15,
That is, the lengths of the side walls 13a and 14m are made longer than the length of the long side of A3 paper by p.

rKKA4I, 4h larger than AJ*'lAZ, A/C) The case where the paper 71E is discharged from the discharge port 5 will be explained.

First, in the case of paper, it is fed 9aS from the discharge port 5 sideways, that is, in the direction along the short side. The length of the long side of the paper ^= (j 94Aw ) is also larger than the distance f between the side walls of the first storage section and the m storage section, so the A4 paper fed out is different from the case described above. It touches only the upper surface 13a' of both side walls 13a without contacting the inclined surface 16a, and then falls down the entire rk 113a' to reach the first accommodating portion 14. At this time, the upper surface 13a' of the 1Ill wall 13a is slightly sloped so that the paper can easily fall off. Even in the silk storage section 14, the A2 paper comes into contact with the flat tray surface 17°.
°114a' only Km touch and then aii14a'i
He slipped down, passed the 19th grade of the middle school, and entered the 3rd section, 15th grade. In the third accommodating section 15, the tip of the paper A, 2, that is, the long side part is placed in the #I oblique direction 17 of the flat tray 17.
The receiver is stopped at the upright 4118 all along aK. At this time, the rear end of the carpet ^a passes through the intermediate stock f19 and is accommodated in the field 3 accommodating section 15. In this way, the length of the jI3 collection storage 5 is made to be at least slightly longer than the length of the MI structure of A2 paper. However, since the width of the third accommodating portion 15 is only the length of the short side of A3 paper + α, the A2 paper is accommodated in a state in which it protrudes left and right in the width direction of the third accommodating portion 15. Furthermore, in the case of ^l paper, vertically from the discharge port 5,
In other words, it is sent out in the direction along the long side. The length of the short side of the AI paper Sqv■) is #! as in the case of A-! /
Since the spacing f between the side walls of the accommodating section 13 and the first accommodating section 14 is larger than the spacing f, the leading edge of the fed A1 paper does not come into contact with the inclined surface 16δ or the flat tray surface 17- of the first accommodating section 14, and the leading edge of the A1 paper is not in contact with the inclined surface 16δ and the flat tray surface 17- of the first accommodating section 14. The upper surface 13a' of 13 m and the upper ff1i 14 a' of 1IIi 14a are sequentially removed by p% and the third storage s
15, the flat tray surface 17 slides and is received by the upright wall 18. In this case, the length of the long side of A7 paper is multiplied by the length of the short side of A2 paper, so 5yzp, A#a(O4l side part C, th/account $
113 and the first accommodating portion 14. Needless to say, it is a friend, and the rear end is in a state where it comes out from the discharge port 1. Therefore, the first valley part 13.1
1142 housing 8I [4 and 3rd housing @ 15 wo combined exposure length is made 1% longer than the long side O length of ^1 paper O. However, the length of @f is only the length of the edge of A3 + α, and the length of the short side of the AI edge is about the length of the long side of A2 paper, so it is different from the case of A, 2 paper. It is housed in a state in which it protrudes left and right in the width direction of the first housing 8s13, the first housing part 14, and the third housing part 15 by a similar length.

In this trap, in the paper storage device 112 according to the present invention, A-sized paper is stored in Iig@2 storage section 1, A3-sized paper is stored in the first storage materials 1 and 3 and the first storage section 14, and A2-sized paper is stored in the first storage material 1 and 3 and the first storage section 14. Third storage part 1
5, the AI paper is automatically stored in the first storage section 13, the second storage section 814, and the third storage section 15, respectively. Also,
In the paper storage device shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, All, A3
, has the ability to accommodate 20 sheets of A2 and AI paper, so you can select the copying order appropriately.
For example, if copies are made in the order of Heda, A3, Al2, and AI, it is possible to store +×ao=go'□ sheets of paper in succession.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it is understood that the paper storage device of the present invention can be used for paper of other sizes, such as Bjis B'l, 83% 82, etc., by simply changing the size t of the wood. It's cool. Furthermore, by providing a plurality of stock holes 18, it will be possible to accommodate papers of more than two types.

As mentioned above, according to the present 8AK, there is no need to move the stone/4 according to the size of the paper to be accommodated,
The working time can be t-mM.
