DEVICE FOR TRANSPORTING PRINT MEDIA IN PRINTING OR COPYING APPARATUS

摘要

A device for transporting print media (12) in printing or copying apparatus has rotary transport elements (36) arranged in a print media transport channel at a distance from the print medium (12) that act as feeding aids for an automatic paper feeding device. Friction elements (40) designed as striking elements with friction surfaces (41) and arranged at the periphery of the transport elements (36) are bound to the axis bolt of rotation (38) of the transport element (36) so that they can swivel. When the transport elements (36) are rotated, the friction elements (40) are brought by the centrifugal force out of a rest position, against a restoring force, and their friction surfaces (41) are brought into frictional contact with the print medium (12) and transport the same. When the transport element (36) is at a standstill, the friction elements (40) release the print medium (12).
