<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily perform jamming disposal by simultaneously (through one action) opening two feeding paths, that is, an ordinary paper feeding path and a paper resupply path. <P>SOLUTION: A double-sided unit 60 in which a switch-back feeding path and the paper resupply path are mounted is provided to open to an apparatus main body 50. A sub turning unit 64 is turnably supported in the double-sided unit 60. A guide member 2 is provided on the apparatus main body 50 side, and an engaging member 19 engaged with the guide member 2 is provided in the sub turning unit 64. When the double-sided unit 60 is opened, the engaging member 19 is pressed by the guide member 2, whereby the position of the center of gravity of the sub turning unit 64 is moved closer to the apparatus main body side than the rotary shaft of the sub turning unit, and the sub turning unit 64 is turned counterclockwise in Figure. Thus, the two feeding paths, that is, the ordinary paper feeding path 43 formed between the apparatus main body 50 and the double-sided unit 60 and the paper resupply path between the sub turning unit 64 and the double-sided unit 60 are simultaneously opened. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
