<p>A sheet path assembly (2) having two mating components (10, 20) which are pivotally attached to one another so that they may be opened in the case of a sheet jam. One of the mating assemblies is a turnover component (10), which is torsionally weak about an axis in the direction of the sheet path. This is done so that the turnover component (10) will conform to the mating component (20) when they close. A stiffening member (30) is mounted to the turnover component (10), such that when the stiffening member (30) is engaged, the turnover component (10) is then torsionally stiff. When the turnover component (10) is conformed to the mating assembly (20), the stiffening member (30) is engaged, locking the turnover component (10) into the conforming position.</p> |
