- Document feeding apparatus 10 includes a document supply station 12 from where documents to be copied are carried forward one at a time by primaryfeed roll 14 into the nip of document limiting rolls 16, '17 which serve to prevent passage of more than one document at a time. Documents emerging from limiting rolls 16, 17, are-carried forward by intermediate transport rolls '18, 19 underneath curved document, guide fingers 21 to platen transport 20. Transport 20, which may comprise a belt type conveyor, carries the document onto platen 6 and into desired copying position.
- platen transport 20 When copying is completed, platen transport 20 may be reversed to carry the document backwards off platen 6.
- Rolls 22, 23 carry the document between suitable return guides 26 into the nip of second return transport rolls 27, 28 which carry the documentinto a catch tray 30.
- tray 30 serves to collect and hold the returning documents for either'refeeding or removal.
- Bail '32 is disposed substantially opposite to and aboveprimary feed roll l4.and is arranged to prevent documents resting thereon from contacting roll 14'. As will appear, bail 32 is moved out from under documents8 resting thereon when it is desired-to feed the documents to the reproduction machine 5.
- Document supply station 12 has a substantially 'flat downwardly inclinedbase 31 supported by frame 36.from reproduction machine 5.
- the curvedguide 33 leads to platen -6, which in the arrangement shown is substantially horizontal.
- Suitableopenings such as 29 are provided in base 31 and in guide 33 to accommodate feed rolls 14, 16, andl8.
- The,terminal portion, 24 of document guide fingers 21 extends backwardly and curves downwardly in overlaying relationship to guide 33, the bottom of fingers 21 includingterminal portion 24 thereof cooperating with the curved guide 33 to turn the upwardly moving documents onto the substantially horizontal platen 6.
- Bail 32 is supportedfrom rockable cross-shaft 35 by side members 37.
- Shaft '35 is suitably joumaled in frame 36, base 31 being apertured at 39 to permit disposition of members 37 therethrough.
- a suitable operating mechanism suchas solenoid 38 is provided to turn cross-shaft 35 and raise bail 32 out from under documents 8restingthereupon. When solenoid 38 is deenergized, bail 32 drops back onto the topmost document.
- bail 32 may be raised by a driving clutch. It may be further appreciated that suitable spring means may be provided to bias bail 32 downwardly to hold any documents thereunder in pressure contact with primary feed roll 14.
- tray 30 is comprised of matching right and left-hand. members or receptacles 41, 4.1 respectively.
- Receptacles 41, 4,1 are arranged in facing relationship to one another and journaled at their lower ends on shaft 42.
- Shaft 42 is journaled for rotation on frame 36 adjacent the bottom of base 31.

- a resilient material such as foam 57 is disposed between spring segment 52 and the lower frame 58 of receptacles 41, 41'.
- the curved spring segments 51 serve to slow or brake documents returning to tray 30 while the resilient backed bottom segment 52 serves to further absorb document velocity and to jog and align the lower edges of the returning documents with one another.
- Sides 46 of receptacles 41, 41 are preferably flared outwardly at 46' adjacent the top thereof to provide a slightly enlarged entrance facilitating entry of returning documents into tray 30.
- the relatively narrower sides 46 therebelow aid in aligning the document side edges with one another.
- Receptacles 41, 41 are arranged for lateral adjusting movement along shaft 42 toward and away from one another to accommodate various size documents.
- Suitable detent means for example spring biased ball members (not shown), cooperate with recesses 54 in shaft 42 to maintain receptacles 41, 41 in adjusted position.
- Torsion springs 56 bias receptacles 41, 41' toward base 31 (in the counterclockwise direction as seen in FIG. 1), it being understood that contact between base 31 and the bottom of receptacles 41, 41' limits inward movement of receptacles 41, 41' toward base 31.
- cover 60 is provided to guide returning documents into the tray 30 as well as prevent documents from falling out of tray 30, particularly when bail 32 is raised.
- Cover 60 is secured to shaft 42 to enable cover 60 to be opened for access to document tray 30 as when loading or unloading documents.
- Cover 60 includes an exterior wall 62, which may be suitable decorated and depending integral sides 65.

- the wall-like surface of the interior guide 64 is substantially flush with the receptacle tops 45 when cover 60 is closed, guide 64 serving to guide the returning documents into tray 30 as will appear.
- a pair of detent and stop members 70 depend from the exterior wall 62 of cover 60 adjacent the opposite sides thereof into suitable slotted stops 71 appended to the sides of frame 36.
- the terminal ends 73 of stop members 70 are at right angles and cooperate with stops 71 to limit maximum opening movement of cover 60.
- Members 70 include a dimpled segment 74 cooperable with stops 71 to releasably limit opening movement of cover 60 to a partially opened position designed to permit the user to service the feeding apparatus without disrupting the document order as will appear.
- members 70 comprise any suitable spring material.
- a radially projecting tang 63 is provided on shaft 42 opposite the receptacle lower frame 58.
- the receptacle frames 58 have a protruding lug 58' opposite tangs 63.
- Tangs 63 are arranged so that, following predetermined movement of cover 60 in an opening direction with attendant rotation of shaft 42 in a clockwise direction, tangs 63 engage lugs 58' to drive tray 30 (receptacles 41, 41) in an opening direction in unison with cover 60 against the bias of springs 56.
- tangs 63 are disposed to engage lugs 58' whenevercover 60 is opened beyond the intermediate open position as detennined by the position of dimpled segments 74 in stop members 70.
- a suitable operating circuit 75 is provided for solenoid 38.
- a photocell 78 may be supported on bail 32 to sense the presence of documents therebelow, the light source 79 for photocell 78 being supported underneath base 31.
- a suitable aperture 80 is provided in base 31 above light 79.
- the signal from photocell 78 on feed of the last document from under bail 32 triggers circuit 75 to momentarily actuate solenoid 38 and raise bail 32 out from below any documents such as returned documents 8 resting thereon, bail 32 dropping back down atop the topmost document upon subsequent deenergization of solenoid 38.
- a signal from photocell 78 readies timer 81 for operation.
- Timer 81 comprises any suitable circuit adapted, in a predetermined interval following triggering, to trigger circuit 75 and momentarily energize solenoid 38 to move bail 32 onto the topmost document as described heretofore.
- Copy machine 5 includes suitable circuitry adapted when copying of the last document is completed to trigger timer 81. Following a predetermined interval adequate for the last document to reach tray 30, timer 81 triggers circuit 75 to reset bail 32.
- Other circuitry of copy machine 5 may be arranged to trigger circuit 75 at start up of the copycycle to assure that bail is atop the topmost document in tray 3 at startup of the copying cycle.
- a switch operator 76 for solenoid circuit 75 is disposed on base 31 adjacent one of stop members 70.
- the terminal end 73 of the associated stop member 70 actuates switch 76 to energize solenoid 38 and raise bail 32 out of the way.
- the hollow guide 64 cooperates with the inside surface of the exterior wall 62 of cover 60 to form a suitable plenum or air chamber 85.
- Chamber 85 communicates with a suitable source of low pressure air (not shown).
- a series of ports 86 are provided in guide 64 through which'the pressure air in plenum 85 discharges outwardly toward the surface of the returning documents passing thereunder.
- the streams of air emitted from ports 86 impinge on the returning documents as the documents pass under guide 64 into tray 30, the air aiding in the routing of documents into tray 30 and serving to settle the returning documents in tray 30.
- a suitable ion generator 88 is supported on cover 60 upstream of tray 30.
- Generator 88 which is connected to a suitable source of electrical energy (not shown), is arranged to ionize the air through which the documents returning to tray 30 pass to neutralize any static electric charges on the documents. It is understood that such static charges often occur simply from the moving of documents. By passing the documents through the space proximate generator 88, static electrical charges on the documents are substantially eliminated.
- cover 60 is opened fully to the position determined by ends 73 of stop members 70.
- cover 60 moves past the intermediate position determined by dimpled segments 74 of stop members 70, tangs 63 on shaft 42 engage lugs 58' to swing tray 30 outwardly with cover 60.
- the components of feeding apparatus 10 are arranged so that opening of cover 60 to a fully opened position moves tray 30 to a substantially vertical position as shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings to facilitate loading and unloading of documents in tray 30.
- switch 76 triggers solenoid 38 to hold bail 32 raised.
- the cover guide 64 and the air streams emitted from ports 86 therein assure that the document enters tray 30.
- thelower or leading edge thereof contacts curved spring segment 51 to initially deaccelerate the document, the subsequent abutment of the document lower edge with spring segment 52 bringing the document to a stop without damage or tearing of the document.
- the resiliency of the segment 52 serves to jog the returning documents and together with sides 46 of tray 30 align the returning documents with one another for subsequent refeeding.
- the streams of air emitted from ports 86 settle the returning documents in tray 30, the forward end of the returned documents 8 resting atop bail 32 and out of operative contact with primary feed roll 14.
- a signal from reproduction machine triggers timer'8l,-and following a delay sufficient to enable the last document to be returned to tray 30, timer 81 momentarily triggers circuit 75 to actuate solenoid 38 and place bail 32 atopthe jcompletedstack of returned documents.
- the document feeding apparatus may now be recycled where additional copies of the documents are desired.
- cover 60 may be fully opened as described heretofore and tray 30 unloaded. It is understood that openingof cover 60 actuates solenoid 38 to raise bail 32 out of the way.
- cover 60 may be partially opened to the position corresponding to dimpled segments 74 of stop members 70. At this position, servicing may be done without the resetting of bail 32 and consequent disruption of the document copy order.
- the aforedescribed pressure air system may be omitted and the interior guide64 of cover 60 only relied upon to guide the returning documents into tray '30.
