Abstract

PURPOSE:To take originals after copying out of a copying machine in correct order near the front part, by providing an original storage tray for storing discharged original slantingly at a higher position than a discharging means. CONSTITUTION:Originals 4 after copying are discharged from an ejection opening 22 to the inner part and stored in an original storage tray 23. The tray 23 is fitted slantingly with the side of an original ejecting means lower, so received originals 4A are stored while one end of each original abuts on the lower side edge 23A without fail, and originals 4 discharged successively are also stacked on the stored original 4A to be stored in order. This constitution allows the originals to be taken out of the copying machine after copying in order from a position near the front side of the machine.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a document storage device for storing a copied document after copying.

A conventional storage device for originals after copying is used, and the originals 4 after copying are ejected and dropped from the ejection port 2 to a storage tray 3 provided at the lower front of the copying machine 1, as schematically shown in Figure 1 of the attached drawing. There was something that made me want to.

In addition, as a conventional storage arrangement of this type, a conveyance mechanism 16 for the W document 4 is provided at the edge of one copying machine 11 as schematically shown in No. 2M, and the document is scanned from the document feeder f17 110 before copying. There was also a system in which the original e4 after axial copying was discharged and stored through the mechanism 15 into the storage tray 13 provided above the copy 1a11 from the discharge port 12.

Both of these conventional document storage devices store Km of original documents after copying, so they are convenient for adding additional documents.However, in the storage device 6 shown in FIG. The order tends to be tk? There is a drawback that he has to rearrange the original bottles by himself, and the storage arrangement shown in Figure 2 does not allow for a considerable distance in the vertical direction. It is necessary to provide a relatively large-scale conveyance mechanism to convey the original, which makes it expensive, and the disadvantage is that it takes a long time to eject the document and the conveyance path is long, making it easy for jams to occur. Also, since the storage tray 13 is tilted so that the ejection port 12 is higher, the leading edge of the document 4 ejected from the ejection port 12 is directed toward the inner wall surface of the storage tray 13 on the front side of the copy. There were times when I would slip under the document that had been ejected earlier, or I would get stuck on the way and the edge of the document would not line up. This alignment is particularly likely to occur when originals of various sizes are to be copied in succession, and even with the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, it is not necessary to take out the originals on the cypress copy edge from the storage tray and rearrange them. was there.

The object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the problems of conventional devices as described above. To provide a document storage device which eliminates the problem of squishing, allows a document to be read for the first time to be taken out as close as possible to the front of a cypress copy, and to take out a series of documents in a correctly arranged state.

According to the present invention, there is provided a document storage device for storing a manuscript after it has been read for the first time in a copying machine, which includes a discharge means for discharging the manuscript at the copying edge near the front of the copying pattern, and a discharge means for discharging the manuscript at the copy edge near the front of the copying sheet. A document storage device is provided that includes a document storage tray that is inclined so that the side of the ejection means is facing downward in order to store the rrtis.

Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment of the present invention based on FIG. 3 of the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3 schematically shows the verification of a document handler to which the document storage device according to the present invention is applied. The original document storage device applied to this device is constructed by a discharging roller 28 that contacts a roller 27 included in an original printing plate 25 for scanning a document to be copied, and a roller 29 that contacts this. This document ejecting means is configured to eject the copied original 4 from the ejection port 22, that is, from the front to the rear of the copying machine. In addition to the document storage device, a document storage tray 23 for receiving and storing the document discharged from the document discharge means is biased.

As shown in the figure, the document storage tray 23 is attached so that it is tilted so that the side facing the document ejection means is thicker. By tilting the dried dry storage tray 23 like this)
), the original 4A that is ejected to and received by the original storage tray 23 always floats downward toward $23^ and is placed there with one end of the original in contact with it. It will be stored in. The next document 4 to be ejected there is always placed on top of the stack of documents 4 stored there, and slides down to Ij.
It is stored there with the end of the tray 23 in contact with 23A. Therefore, the order of the originals is not changed, and even if the sizes of the originals are different, the originals can be printed out with the edges aligned.

According to the features of the document storage device of the present invention, it is convenient to be able to take out the original to be photographed from near the front of the copy sheet, and it is also convenient to take out the original to be photographed from near the front of the copy sheet. It is convenient because it can be arranged in one place. Furthermore, since the distance from the addition scanning mechanism 25 to the discharge port 22 can be shortened, the Wi sum that has been copied is quickly discharged, and document jams are less likely to occur. Further, the size of the mechanism necessary for ejection can be made very small compared to the conveyance mechanism used in the conventional example shown in FIG. 2, and the structure can be simple and inexpensive.
