Abstract

PURPOSE:To sharply reduce an amount of paper cassettes stocked, by a method wherein, when a cassette for both longitudinal and lateral uses is set to the feed paper part of a device, the paper is set in either a longitudinal or a lateral direction, the direction is freely changed longitudinally and laterally, where necessary, to feed the papers to a transfer part. CONSTITUTION:When a paper cassette 11, set in a longitudinal feed manner on a cassette placing table 1, is reset to a lateral feed manner, solenoids 6 and 6' with a spring are turned ON, and a feed paper roller 2 is lifted to a level higher than that of the paper cassette 11. A motor 14 is then forwardly driven, through rotation of a rubber roller 16 in a square hole 13, the paper cassette 11, set in a longitudinal feed manner on the placing table 1, is turned in 90 deg. arc in the direction of an arrow mark B around a rotary shaft 20 engaged with a mounting hole 12 in the placing table 1, and the paper 17 is set in a direction in which the papers are fed in a lateral feed manner. After the paper feed roller 2 is pulled down and is forced into pressure contact with the uppermost part of the papers 17, the feed paper roller 2 is rotated through driving of a motor 8, and the papers 17 in the cassette 11 are fed in a lateral feed manner to the transfer part of a sensitizing body drum.

前記用紙の送り方向を横送り方向にする必要があった。(Prior Art) Conventionally, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of electrophotographic copying machines, etc., the feeding direction of paper from the paper feeding section of the copying machine to the transfer section of the photoreceptor drum has been changed to vertical feeding. In addition, in order to increase the copying speed, it was necessary to make the sheet feeding direction transverse in order to shorten the exposure time of the optical system to the sheet in the copying process.

多いといった欠点があった。In order to satisfy these two needs with one machine, the machine itself must be configured to be capable of both vertical and horizontal paper feeding, and the machine must also use a paper cassette. For each paper size, the cassette must have both a vertical feeding direction and a horizontal feeding direction, depending on the size of the paper. Nowadays, there are many types of cassettes, such as A4, B5, etc., and having cassettes for both vertical and horizontal feeding for each of these sizes will unnecessarily increase stock costs. In addition to the drawback that the cassettes have to be re-set for each purpose, the setting work becomes complicated, and as a result, the operation of the machine becomes complicated, leading to setting mistakes and operational errors. This has the disadvantage that there are many cases where this causes scopy to occur.

When loading the paper into the paper cassette, the direction is either vertical or horizontal (KL), but this can be changed freely between the vertical and horizontal directions as needed to feed paper to the transfer section of the photosensitive drum, greatly increasing the amount of paper cassette storage The object of the present invention is to provide a paper feeding device that makes it possible to reduce the number of copy errors to the greatest extent possible by making it easier to set the paper cassette in the machine and to operate the machine. be.

An elevating means such as a solenoid is provided to enable vertical movement, and 1. At an appropriate position on the force set mounting table, there is provided a rectangular paper cassette for each size, at a location on the inside of the short side of the paper cassette. At the same time, a square hole is drilled at a suitable location on the outer periphery of the mounting hole, and the end of the motor shaft located at a suitable position at the bottom of the cassette mounting table is inserted into the square hole.
! While the rubber roller 2 and the like attached to the IK are rotatably arranged, the paper cassettes set on the cassette mounting table are arranged so that paper can be fed in either the vertical or horizontal directions for each size, and the paper cassettes are arranged so that they can be fed in either the vertical or horizontal direction. , A rotary shaft that rotatably fits into a mounting hole formed in the cassette mounting base is protruded from the inside of the short side of the lower surface of the paper cassette. When the paper cassette is set on a mounting table and the rubber roller in the square hole drilled in the cassette mounting table is rotated, the paper cassette rotates 90' times in the horizontal direction about the rotating shaft fitted in the mounting hole of the cassette mounting table as a fulcrum. It is designed so that the paper feeding direction can be changed to either vertical or horizontal direction by moving the paper.

させるようにすれば良い。In response to this, the paper cassette 11 set on the cassette mounting table 1 in a vertically feeding manner is reset to a horizontally feeding position,
Then, the paper 17 stored in the cassette 11 is transported to the transfer section of the photoreceptor drum by the spring-equipped solenoid 6.6'.
All you have to do is turn on the paper feed roller 2... and pull it up above the paper roller 11, then rotate the motor 14 in the forward direction.
By doing this, the paper cassette 11 set vertically on the cassette mounting table 1 is fitted into the mounting hole 12 of the cassette mounting table 1 by rotating the rubber roller 2 placed in the square hole 13 160 times. It rotates in the direction shown by the arrow B in the figure using the rotating shaft 20 as a fulcrum, and the whole body rotates horizontally by 9
When the cassette 11 rotates 0' and the paper 17 is fed in a crosswise direction, the bottom surface of the cassette 11 reaches the cassette mounting table 1.
When the motor 14 comes into contact with the actuator of the switch 18 placed on the right extension of the tip of the motor 14, the motor 14 is turned off and stopped. When the cassette 11 is in this state, the paper feed row 22, which has been pulled up to the top of the cassette 11, is pulled up by K when the spring loaded solenoid 6.6' is turned OFF. The paper 17 stored in the cassette IIP3IC is brought into pressure contact with the top of the paper 17, and then the motor 8 connected to the shaft 3 is rotated to remove the cassette 1.
The paper 17 stored in the paper feed roller 2 attached to the shaft 3 is fed from the top to the transfer section of the photoreceptor drum in a crosswise manner by the trap. . In order to return the paper cassette (11) in which the sheets 17... are fed horizontally to their parent's vertical feeding mode, the spring-loaded solenoid 6,6' is turned ON again and the paper feed rollers 2...
By pulling up the cassette 11 above the cassette 11 and rotating the motor 14, which is the drive source for the rubber four-wheeler etc. 16, in the opposite direction, the direction of rotation of the cassette 110 is changed to the direction shown by the arrow CK in the figure. , the appropriate position on the bottom surface of the paper cassette 11 is a switch 19 placed on the front left end side of the cassette mounting table 1.
When the motor 14 comes into contact with the actuator etc. of the cassette 11 and turns off and stops rotating,
The paper feed roller 2..., which had been pulled up in Just do it.

When feeding the paper to the transfer section of the photosensitive drum, the feeding direction of the paper 17 is adjusted as required by rotating the paper 110 setting direction horizontally by 90° on the cassette mounting table l. Since it is designed to be able to convert in either the vertical or horizontal direction depending on the size of the paper 17, even if there are many different sizes of the paper 17, each size of the paper 17...
It is no longer necessary to prepare the paper cassettes 11 for storing the sheets separately for vertical and horizontal transport, and therefore the amount of stock can be reduced by that amount, which is useful for reducing stock costs. The work of setting the paper cassette 110 and the operability of the machine are extremely easy compared to the conventional case where the cassette 11 is changed vertically and horizontally depending on the feeding direction of the paper 17.
This eliminates setting errors and machine operation errors, greatly reduces copy errors caused by these, and contributes to resource conservation. This also has the effect of eliminating the need to switch the trays one by one according to the paper feeding direction, thereby reducing the amount of force required.
