FIG. 4 is a simplified rear view of the copier as seen from behind.

A sprocket wheel 130 is fixed to a rotating shaft 128 that is pivotally supported on the body 2.

The fuselage 2 has another sprocket wheel 13 horizontally spaced apart from the sprocket wheel 13.
2 is pivoted.

A chino 134 is wound endlessly between these sprocket wheels 130 and 132.

The moving member 136 fixed to the support body 64 is connected to the vertically elongated hole 13.
It has 8.

The longitudinal hole 138 has a protrusion 14 fixed to the chino 134.
0 is inserted loosely.

Therefore, when the sprocket wheel 130 rotates in the direction of the arrow 86 and the chino 134 travels, the prongs 140
causes the moving member 136 to reciprocate horizontally.

The movable member 136 is stationary at a rest position indicated by a phantom line 142 when copying is stopped.

When the print button 16 (see FIG. 1) is pressed, the drive unit rotates the sprocket wheel 130 in the direction of arrow 86.

Therefore, the moving member 136 in the rest position 142 moves in the direction of the arrow 144.

Therefore, the moving member 136 is first detected by the paper feed detection member 146.

The paper feed detection member 146 is swingably supported by a swing shaft 148 on the body 2 in the middle of its longitudinal direction, and is swingably supported by a torsion spring (not shown) fitted into the swing shaft 148. A resilient force is applied around the moving shaft 148 in the counterclockwise direction of FIG.

The stopper 149 fixed to the fuselage 2 is connected to the swing shaft 148
limits the rotational displacement in the counterclockwise direction.

Referring to FIG. 5, the paper feed detection member 146 has a pin 150.
a stopper piece 154 that prevents the abutting piece 152 from rotating forward in the moving direction 144 of the moving member 136 around the pin 150; It is provided with a torsion spring 156 that is fitted into and elastically urges the contact piece 152 around the pin 150 toward the stopper piece 154 side.

Therefore, when the moving member 136 moves in the moving direction 144, it comes into contact with the contact piece 152, and moves the paper feed detection member 146 around the swing shaft 148 of the torsion spring fitted into the swing shaft 148. It is swung clockwise in FIG. 4 against the spring force.

When the protrusion 140 moves around the outer periphery of the sprocket wheel 130 in a semicircular arc to move the moving member 136 in the moving direction 88, the moving member 136 comes into contact with the abutment piece 152 again, but at this time the abutment piece 152 touches the pin 150. The paper feed detection member 146 only rotates counterclockwise in FIG.

The contact piece 15 is connected to the swing shaft 148 of the paper feed detection member 146.
The end opposite to 2 abuts one end 159 of the link 158 .

The link 158 has elongated holes 160.degree. 162 along the longitudinal direction, and guide projections 164.166 provided on the body 2 are loosely inserted into the elongated holes 160.162, respectively.

In this way, the link 158 can be horizontally displaced, and the
Supported by

FIG. 6 is an enlarged rear view of the paper feeder 8 and its vicinity as seen from behind the copying machine.

The link 158 is connected to the paper feed detection member 14 by a spring 168.
An elastic force is applied to the 6 side (the right side in FIGS. 4 and 6), so that one end 159 of the link 158 is in contact with the paper feed detection member 146.

In order to be able to adjust the starting point of paper feed, the link 158 is adjustable in its length, and for this purpose one end 159 and the other end 170 of the link 158 are formed by a longitudinal projection. The length can be adjusted by means of mounting screws 172,174.

A swinging claw member 176 whose one end abuts the other end 170 of the link 158 is attached to the side wall of the paper feeder 8 .
It is pivotally supported around the

The swing claw member 176 is elastically biased clockwise in FIGS. 4 and 6 by a torsion spring (not shown) fitted into the swing shaft 178.

A pawl 180 is formed at the other end of the swing pawl member 176.

This pawl 180 meshes with the teeth of a heavy weight 184 mounted on a rotating shaft 182 that is integral with the paper feed roller 92' (see FIG. 2).

The teeth of the weight 184 are oriented to prevent the copy paper 20 from rotating in the paper feeding rotation direction 186.

FIG. 7 is a horizontal sectional view of the vicinity of the paper feed roller 92'.

A sprocket wheel 188 is loosely fitted onto the rotating shaft 182, and the boss 19 of the sprocket wheel 188
0 extends along axis of rotation 182.

A one-way clutch 192 is attached to the rotating shaft 182 in a butting manner with a boss 190.

One-way clutch 192 transmits rotational power from its input end 194 in the direction of arrow 186 to rotary shaft 182, and does not transmit rotational power in the opposite rotational direction.

Such a one-way clutch 192 includes a large number of rollers disposed in the circumferential direction and a large number of recesses that are narrowly inclined in the opposite direction of the arrow 186 with each roller interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 182. and an input end 194 formed with the input end 1
It may be a conventional type in which the rollers are caught between the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 182 and the recess to transmit torque when the rotating shaft 94 rotates in the direction of the arrow 186.

The sprocket wheel 188 is constantly rotated by the motor 54.

An input end 194 of the one-way clutch 192 is formed with a portion having the same outer diameter as the outer diameter of the boss 190 of the sprocket wheel 188 .

The outer circumference of a portion of the input end 194 and the boss 190 is
Surrounded by spring 196.

The spring 196 is wound in a coil shape in a direction that tightens the boss 190 and the input end 194 in the paper feed rotation direction 186, and one end is connected to the weight 184 and the other end is connected to the input end 194.

In this way, the weight 184 and the spring 196 constitute a so-called wrap spring clutch 198.

When the moving member 136 is in the rest position 142 and the pawl 180 of the rocking pawl member 176 is engaged with the teeth of the weight 184, the spring 196 of the wrap spring clutch 198 is applied to the boss 190 of the rotating sprocket wheel 188. Loosen the tightening.

Therefore, the rotational power of sprocket wheel 188 is not transmitted to paper feed roller 92'.

When the moving member 136 moves in the direction of arrow 144 during copying and swings the paper feed detection member 146 clockwise in FIG. 4 around the swing shaft 148, the link 158 is displaced to the left in FIG. In response, the swing claw member 176 swings counterclockwise in FIGS. 4 and 6 around the swing shaft 178.

Therefore, the pawl 180 comes out of mesh with the teeth of the water wheel 184.

Therefore, the spring 19 of the wrap spring clutch 198
6 integrally tightens the boss 190 of the rotating sprocket wheel 188 and the input end 194 of the one-way clutch 192.

Therefore, the rotational power from the sprocket wheel 188 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 182 via the wrap spring clutch 198 and the one-way clutch 192.

In this way, the paper feed roller 92' is connected to the pawl 180 and the water wheel 184.
The copy paper 20 is sandwiched between the copy paper 20 and the other paper feed roller 92 and fed along the conveyance path 36 only during the period when the copy paper 20 is out of engagement with the copy paper 20 .

In this embodiment, the length of the link 158 is adjusted and set in advance, and the paper feed detection member 146 is swung clockwise in FIG. 4 while the moving member 136 is moving in the direction of the arrow 144. In other words, the paper feed roller 92' is selected to rotate twice during the time it takes for the moving member 136 to move by the length a (see FIG. 4) in which the moving member 136 is in contact with the contact piece 152.

By rotating the paper feed roller 92' twice, the leading edge of the copy paper 20 located at the cutting device 24 is conveyed to at least one pair of copy paper conveying rollers 100°100'.

These pair of copy paper conveying rollers 100 and 100'
is constantly rotated by the motor 54, so once the copy paper 20 is sandwiched between the pair of copy paper transport rollers 100 and 100', the pawl 180 and the water wheel 18
4 is engaged, the copy paper 20 is pulled, and accordingly, the one-way clutch 192 acts to move the copy paper 20 to the paper feed roller 92.
' rotates freely together with another paper feed roller 92.

By appropriately adjusting and setting the length of the link 158, it is possible to select the point at which the claw 180 and the waterwheel 184 separate, that is, the point at which paper feeding begins.

For example, by extending the one end portion 159 and the other end portion 170 outward in the axial direction to increase the overall length of the link 158, the paper feeding start point can be brought forward.

Further, the paper feeding start point can be accurately adjusted and set by visual inspection.

Therefore, there are advantages in that the paper feeding timing can be accurately and easily adjusted, and maintenance is easy.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the paper feeder 8 is pulled out from the machine body 2 by a telescopic guide rail 200.

The swing claw member 176 is connected to the claw 180 and the water wheel 184 by a torsion spring (not shown) fitted into the swing shaft 178.
Since the feed roller 92' is resiliently biased to maintain engagement with the feed roller 92', the paper feed roller 92' will not rotate undesirably.

When storing a new copy paper 20 in the paper feeder 8 in the state shown in FIG. The copy paper 20 may be sandwiched between the paper rollers 92, 92' and fed to the cutting device 24.

When rotating the rotation knob 202 in the paper feed rotation direction 186, the paper feed roller 92 is rotated by the action of the one-way clutch 192.
becomes playful.

Therefore, the copy paper can be conveyed to the cutting device 24 while the engagement between the water wheel 184 and the claw 180 of the swinging claw member 176 is always maintained.

In this embodiment, the copy paper is transported such that when the copying operation is completed and the moving member 136 returns to the rest position 142, the copy paper has been ejected onto the copy receiving plate 122 by the ejection rollers 118, 118'. Select the length of path 36.

A support wall 204 is fixed to the body 2, and guides 206 and 208 are fixed to the support wall 204 along the horizontal movement direction of the moving member 136.

Movable support member 210 is mounted for horizontal movement along guides 206,208.

The movable support member 210 is fixed to both ends of a wire 216 stretched between pulleys 212 and 214 provided at both ends in the moving direction.

A rotating shaft 235 of the pulley 212 is pivotally supported by the support plate 204.

Therefore, by horizontally moving the knob 10 shown in FIG.
rotates.

Therefore, the wire 215 moves and the pulley 217 and its rotating shaft 211 rotate.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the pulley 214 that is integral with the rotating shaft 211 rotates, and the wire 216 moves.

Therefore, as the wire 216 moves, the movable support member 21
0 can be moved.

A cutting detection member 218 is pivotally supported by a rotation shaft 219 on the movable support member 210, and a deenergization detection member 222 is pivotally supported by a rotation shaft 220.

Pawl 238 when moving member 136 is in rest position 142
°240 is not engaged.

During copying, the moving member 136 moves from its rest device 142 in the moving direction 144 and depresses the actuating rod 242.

Then, the pawl 240 engages with the pawl 238 as shown in the fourth figure, and the engaged state is maintained.

When the operating rod 242 is pushed down by the moving member 136, the actuator 248 of the switch 246 is pushed down and the switch 246 is turned on.

FIG. 12 is an electrical circuit diagram of the electrostatic copying machine.

The switch 246 is commonly connected in series to the exposure lamp 42 and the charging device 26 which are connected in parallel, and when the switch 246 is turned on, the exposure lamp 42 is turned on and the charging device 26 charges the copy paper 20. It is in an operating state where it can be used.

A print switch 568 is connected in series to the motor 54.

The print switch 568 remains conductive when the print button 16 is depressed and shuts off when the moving member 136 returns to its original rest position 142.

When the moving member 136 moves from the position of the pulley 130 in the exposure movement direction 88, the cutting detection member 218 is rotated counterclockwise in FIGS. Let it be cut.

Furthermore, the moving member 136 rotates the deenergization detection member 222.

Referring to FIG. 11, a state in which the moving member 136 rotates the deenergization detection member 222 in the counterclockwise direction is shown.

The deenergization detection member 222 pushes down the tilting member 230, thereby causing the swinging rod 232 to disengage the claw 238 of the swinging claw member 234 from the claw 240 of the actuation rod 242, and accordingly, the switch 2
46 is cut off.

Therefore, the exposure lamp 42 and the charging device 26 are deenergized.

The sprocket I/wheel 188 associated with the weight 184 is connected via a chino 283.

The gear 280 meshes with a gear (not shown) that is pivotally supported on the machine body 2 side and is constantly rotationally driven by the motor 54. When the paper feed device 8 is pulled out from the machine body 2, the gear 280 meshes with the gear 280. The meshing with the gear on the fuselage 2 side, which is currently in operation, can be disengaged.

The double weight 282 is loosely fitted onto the rotating shaft 274.

This double weight 282 has control teeth 284 and rotation stopping teeth 286 that prevent rotation of the rotary blade 96 at different positions in the axial direction and the circumferential direction.

In this example, these teeth 284 , 286 are formed on one diameter of the double overlap 282 .

A boss member 288 is fixed to the rotating shaft 274,
This boss member 288 abuts against the boss 278 of the gear 276 in the axial direction.

A spring 290 is provided surrounding the boss 278 and the boss member 288.

This spring 290 has a winding direction that tightens the boss 278 and the boss member 288 along the rotation direction 298 of the rotary blade 96, and has one end connected to the boss member 288 and the other end connected to the double layer 282. Ru.

The double weight 282 and the spring 290 constitute a so-called wrap spring clutch 292.

The cutting edge 294 has a spirally twisted cutting edge 294.

The fixed blade 98 has a linear cutting blade 29 parallel to the rotating blade 96.
It has 6.

In the state shown in FIG. 15, a gap is provided between the cutting blades 294 and 296 to form a copy paper conveyance path 36, and the copy paper passes through this gap, causing the rotary blade 96 to rotate in the rotation direction 298. The copy paper is cut.

At the time of this cutting, the copy paper moves along the conveyance path 36 at the arrow 299.
While being conveyed in this direction, the copy paper is continuously cut from one end to the other end in the width direction by blades 294 and 296.

Therefore, it takes some time for the copy paper to be cut over its entire width, and the copy paper is being conveyed during this time as well.

According to the above-mentioned rotary blade 96, the front end of the cut subsequent copy paper does not come into contact with the cutting blade 294 and its conveyance is prevented.

Therefore, an excellent advantage is exhibited in that the cutting blade 294 does not bend the copy paper and cause a paper jam.

82 is prevented from rotating.

Gear 280 and gear 276 are rotationally driven, and the direction of rotation of gear 276 is indicated by arrow 298.

The wrap spring clutch 292 loosens the boss 278 of the gear 276 and the boss member 288.
The rotational power from is not transmitted to the rotating shaft 274.

When the moving member 136 moves in the frost column movement direction 88 and rotates the cutting detection member 218 in the counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 4 and 11 around the rotating shaft 219, the tilting member 228
presses link 252.

Therefore, the double water member 262 resists the elastic force of the torsion spring 272 fitted into the swing shaft 266, and
Rotate counterclockwise as shown in Figure 3.

Therefore, the control teeth 284 of the double weight 282 and the double water member 262
is disengaged from the control pawl 268.

Therefore, the double weight 282 is allowed to rotate in the direction of arrow 298.

In response, the spring 290 of the wrap spring clutch 292 tightens the boss 278 and the boss member 288, so that rotational power from the gear 276 is transmitted via the wrap spring clutch 292 to the rotating shaft 274 and rotating blade 96.

Therefore, during the time t1 during which the rotary blade 96 rotates in the rotational direction 298 by an angle smaller than 360 degrees and close to 360 degrees, the rotary blade 96 rotates at a high speed.
It is relatively short and shorter than the time t2 during which the moving member 136 moves by a distance a in the direction of the arrow 88 and keeps the cutting detection member 218 rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 4 (tl<t2
).

Therefore, after the rotation stop tooth 286 rotates by a little less than 360 degrees, it engages with the rotation stop pawl 270, and the double weight 282 is prevented from rotating further.

Therefore, further rotation of the rotary blade 96 is prevented by the action of the wrap spring clutch 292.

After the control tooth 284 and the control pawl 268 are disengaged, the double weight 282 rotates and the rotation stopper tooth 286 is engaged with the rotation stopper pawl 270. Tooth height g of 284.286.

h is determined by the relationship g<h.

When the rotation stopper tooth 286 is engaged with the rotation stopper pawl 270, when the movable member 136 moves further in the direction of arrow 88 and the contact with the cutting detection member 218 is broken, the double water member 262 rotates back clockwise in FIG. 13 around the swing shaft 266 due to the elastic force of the torsion spring 272.

Therefore, the double weight 282 rotates in the direction of the arrow 298, and the control tooth 284 and the control pawl 268 engage with each other.

In this way it returns to its original state.

Since the rotary blade 96 does not rotate more than 360 degrees, the production of paper scraps is prevented, and the occurrence of paper jams due to this is eliminated.

Referring to FIGS. 9 and 14, a hand-cutting lever 304 is attached to the other end of the rotating shaft 274 of the rotary blade 96 via a one-way clutch 302. As shown in FIGS.

The one-way clutch 302 transfers its torque to the rotating shaft only when the manual lever 304 is rotated in the rotational direction 298.
It works to convey information to 74.

The swing angle of the manual cutting lever 304 is limited by stoppers 303 and 305 provided upright on the machine body 2.

The one-way clutch 302 may be conventional;
For example, the input end 194 has a large number of rollers disposed in the circumferential direction and a large number of recesses that are narrowly inclined in a direction opposite to the rotational direction 298 by interposing each roller with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 274. and when the manual cutting lever 304 rotates in the rotational direction 298, the roller may be inserted between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 274 and the recess to transmit torque. .

Referring to FIG. 6, a push-down piece 300 is fixed to the body 2 and has an inclined surface inclined upward toward the multilayer member 262 side.

The push-down piece 300 moves the paper feeder 8 to the machine body 2 as shown in FIG.
When the double water member 262 is pulled out from the
Unravel the mesh with.

Therefore, when pulling out the paper feeder 8 from the machine body 2 as shown in FIG. 8 and supplying a new holder 22 holding the copy paper 20, the copy paper should be sandwiched between the paper feed rollers 92 and 92'. Turn the knob 202 to bring the copy paper between the cutting blades 294,296.

In this state, swing the manual cutting lever 304 to remove the rotary blade 96.
is rotated in the direction of rotation 298 from pin 303 to pin 305 to cut the copy paper and prepare it for copying operation.

The one-way clutch 302 is manually cut off using the lever 304 and the rotary blade 9.
6, the rotary blade 96 can be rotated simply by swinging the hand-cut lever 304, and conversely, the torque from the rotary blade 96 is not transmitted to the hand-cut lever 304.

Therefore, the rotary blade 96 can be rotated by a relatively small swing angle displacement of the hand-cutting lever 304, and the torque of the rotary blade 96 is not connected to the hand-cutting lever 304, so that when the rotary blade 96 rotates during the copying operation. The inertial force is suppressed to a small level, so that the rotary blade 96 can be reliably stopped by the engagement between the rotation stopper tooth 286 and the rotation stopper pawl 270, and the impact force at the time of stop is small.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the rotary blade 96 has a plurality of cutting blades 2.
94 spaced apart in the circumferential direction, the rotation thereof is such that only one of the cutting blades 294 cuts the copy paper together with the cutting blade 296 of the fixed blade 98 for each copying operation. It is only necessary to prevent the rotational angular displacement of the blade 96, and it is easy for those skilled in the art to deform the double water member 262 and the double water member 282, and such a modification is also included in the spirit of the present invention. .

The invention can also be implemented in conjunction with a rotary blade adapted to rotate 360 degrees during the cutting operation.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the rolled copy paper being conveyed is cut, the leading edge of the following copy paper advances in the same direction as the rotating direction of the rotary blade, thus preventing the occurrence of paper jams. I can escape.

In particular, in the present invention, the manual cutting lever is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary blade via a one-way clutch, so that after replenishing rolled copy paper, it can be cut by swinging the manual cutting lever.

In addition, since the hand-cutting lever does not rotate when the rotary blade rotates, the hand-cutting lever can be stored in a relatively small space, and the inertia of the rotary blade does not increase, ensuring that the rotary blade moves at a specified rotational angle. They can be distant relatives.

By making the manual cutting lever longer, you can rotate the rotary blade with a small manual torque.
