Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a manual feed port installed in the lower part of an original inlet tray visible and manual operation ever so easy, by forming a part, where a sizing guide of a platelike body in the orignal inlet port inserting an original into an automatic original feeder, into being notched. CONSTITUTION:A platen 2 is installed in the upper part of a copying machine body 1, and an automatic original feeder 4 is installed inside its cover 3, while an original inlet tray 5 is installed as being opposed to the inlet 4a. In addition, at the lower part of the said tray 5, there are provided with a manual feed port 6 and a paper feeding tray 7. In this case, the said tray 5 is made up of a large- sized platelike body 10 and a sizing guide 11, while a moving part of the said guide 11 in the said body 10 is formed into a notch 12, and the said guide 11 is made to be free of movement at a part of the notch 12. And, when the said feeder 4 is not used, the said guide 11 is made to move to some extent, releasing the part of the notch 12. with this constitution, the manual feed port is made visible, making the manual operation of paper ever so easy.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a copying machine equipped with an automatic document feeder and a manual feed port, and more particularly to a compact document entrance tray for inserting and setting documents in the automatic document feeder. It is something.

BACKGROUND ART As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a manual feed port cf is provided below a document entrance tray b for inserting and setting a document into an automatic document feeder α, and when the automatic document feeder α is not used, is a copying machine in which paper is inserted into the manual feed slot C as a manual feed tray DF guide to make copies.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Since the document entrance tray b is located above the manual feed port C, it becomes difficult for the document reader to visually see the manual feed port C when inserting paper from the manual feed port C. Manual feed slot C
It is difficult to do the operation of twisting and inserting it manually.

In other words, since the document entrance tray b is equipped with a large plate-like body e and a size adjustment guide f so that even large-sized documents can be set, the entire manual feed port C is covered by the document entrance tray b.
covered by.

It becomes difficult to visually see the manual feed port C.

The third means and operation for solving the problem is to configure the document entrance tray with a plate-like main body, a size matching guide, and a notch in the part where the size matching guide moves. The manual feed slot can be more easily seen and manually fed, and when setting a document, the size adjustment guide can be moved to cover the notch, making it possible to set even large size documents.

Embodiment FIGS. 1 and 2 are a side view and a plan view of a copying machine. A platen 2 is provided at the top of a copying machine main body 1, and this platen 2 is opened and closed by a grating cover 3, and the platen A conventionally known automatic document feeder 4 is provided within the cover 3, and a document inlet tray 5 is provided so as to protrude laterally, facing the inlet 4α.

A manual feed port 6 and a paper feed tray 7 are provided below the document entrance tray 5 so that one manual feed tray G F paper can be inserted into the manual feed port 6.

Then, the image of the document set on platen 2 is transferred to the photoreceptor (
An electrostatic latent image is formed on the surface of a sheet of paper (not shown), which is converted into a toner image, and the toner image is transferred onto a sheet of paper to be copied.

The document entrance tray 5 includes a dog-sized plate-like main body 10 on which a large-sized document can be set, and a size matching guide 11. The portion of the plate-like main body 10 where the size matching guide 11 moves is cut out 12, and the size matching guide 11 moves. The guide] 1 is supported in a notch 12 portion so as to be movable in the left and right direction.

It is set to a predetermined size position according to the scale 13.

The size matching guide 11 has a horizontal piece in and a vertical piece 11b.
The horizontal piece 11α has a guide groove 15 fixed to the plate-like main body 10 and into which the pin 14 is inserted.

Therefore, when the automatic document feeder 4 is not used, the size adjustment guide 11 is moved and the aperture 12 of the plate-like main body 10 is removed.
release parts.

As a result, the manual feed port 6 can be visually seen from the notch 12, making it easy to manually feed paper.

(9) When using the automatic document feeder 4, it is possible to pull out the size adjustment guide ll'ii and cover the notch 12 according to the size of the document, so that even large-sized documents can be set.

Effects of the Invention By moving the size matching guide 11 so as to open the notch 12, the manual feed opening 6 can be visually seen through the notch I2, making it easy to manually feed paper.

Sizing guide Il'f: By moving it so as to cover the 12-karat gold notch, you can set a dog-sized document.
