Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify a mechanism of various size sorter, by vertically providing receiving trays in width of different sized paper and providing a holes, in width of paper size smaller than width of paper size to be received to the tray, respectively to central parts of said receiving trays. CONSTITUTION:An upper stage tray 4 and lower stage tray 5 are vertically piled, and one end of the tray is formed appearing to a feed out end of paper. Paper of size A3, A4 and paper of size A1, A2 are fed from the feed out end of a copying machine respectively to the tray 4 and the tray 5, and a selector guide 3 is driven by a solenoid 6, firstly the paper is sorted to two of the sizes A3, A4 and A1, A2. When the paper of size A4 is fed out, the solenoid 6 is driven to feed the paper into the upper stage tray 4, however, the paper is fed out to a central part of the tray 4, and the paper is dropped with the point end first to a central hole 7, drilled in the central part of the tray 4, thus accumulated in a tray 4' provided in a lower side.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention provides that a copy that is automatically copied from a copying machine and outputted from a copying machine is
The present invention relates to a device that receives copies of various sizes separately for each size.

In the past, when the paper copies made by a copying machine were of a unique size, they were piled up on this receiving tray without being sorted by size of the same type, so they were manually removed from the pile. They were sorted out. In order to solve this problem, some attempts have been made to install size guides along the path from when the paper is sent out to the receiving tray, but when operating a copying machine where a large number of sheets of the same size are sent out in succession, Although it is effective, in the case of copying machine operations where objects of different sizes get mixed in halfway through and return to the original size, the manual operation of the length and size makes it more complicated, and the actual situation is that it is not effective. .

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the present invention provides a plurality of receiving trays TL for paper widths of different sizes in a vertical relationship, with the receiving ends facing the feeding end (two ends) of the copying machine, and the feeding trays Tl having paper widths of different sizes. A switching guide that moves up and down is provided between the and the receiving end,
This system relies on a switching solenoid that operates with a preset number of sheets, and the upper and lower receiving trays are each made considerably longer than the length of the paper to be received, so that the paper can be cleaned up to the end of the tray. Tilt it so that it falls down and it slides down I%! ! In the center of the tray, a hole is made in the country-sized paper with a smaller width than the width of the paper to be received in the tray, and a tray is provided under each hole to receive the small-sized paper. It is characterized by becoming.

The embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 as a perspective view and in FIG. 2 as a cross-section. Let us now explain the case of sifting different sizes of paper: A1, A2, A3, and A4. The upper tray 4 and the lower tray 5 are stacked vertically, and one end of the seven trays faces the paper delivery end. Tray 4 has A3 and A
A1 and A2 size papers are fed into the tray 5 from the output end of the copying machine, and switching is performed by driving the ID 3 by the solenoid 6, A4, A4, and A2 sizes. Divide into portions. When the paper ^4 is fed out, it is moved toward the upper tray 4 by the drive of the solenoid 6.
Since the paper is sent out from the center of the tray 4 where it is fed, it falls from the tip of the paper into the center hole 7 made in the A4 size paper and is deposited on the tray 4' provided on the lower side.

For example, when A2 size paper is fed out, the switch is made to feed it to the lower tray 5 by the ID 3, and similarly, it is fed to the lower tray 5 through the hole 8 made in the A2 size paper. There is a slot for cleaning paper from the tip into the lower tray 5', or for example, if A3 size paper is fed,
Since the paper is fed to the full width of the upper tray 4, which is filled with 3.3-sized paper, it cannot fall into the hole 7, and is further cleaned and piled up at the lower end of the tray. The same applies to the lower tray 5.

By virtue of this configuration, in general, the sieving of various sizes requires switching by a switching solenoid depending on the operation of the id, but according to the present invention, the sieving can be performed in two stages. is further divided into two stages, and this additional two-stage sieving can be performed without requiring any special equipment.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A plurality of receiving trays of paper widths of different sizes are arranged in a vertical relationship, the receiving ends thereof facing the sending end of the copying machine, and an ID is provided between the sending end and the receiving layer for switching vertically, The tray is activated by a switching solenoid that operates with a preset number of sheets, and each of the upper and lower receiving trays is made considerably longer than the length of the paper to be received, so that the paper slides down to the end of the tray and accumulates. Tilt the paper so that it slides down, and in the center of the tray, make a hole in the paper of the size that is smaller than the width of the paper that should be received in the tray, and place the small size paper under this hole. A paper receiving tray for a copying machine, comprising trays for receiving paper.
