<p>PURPOSE:To prevent transfer paper from its point end fold by providing an elastic member between a nip part of a paper feed roller and a separating roller and a point end of the transfer paper so as to surely guide it to the nip part. CONSTITUTION:In a transfer paper bundle 3 loaded on a tray bottom plate 2, the uppermost paper is brought into contact with a paper feed roller 5 at a fixed pressure by a bottom plate lift lever 4, to bring the paper feed roller 5 into contact with also a separating roller 6 in the downstream from a contact position with transfer paper. The separating roller 6 can be rotated relating to a rotational supporting point 7, and it is supported to a bracket 8. One end of a flexible elastic member 13 is fixed to an end part 1b in the downstream of a tray 1, to set the other end advanced into a lower side of the tray bottom plate 2. Extension pieces 13a, 13b of the elastic member are extended to interpose a separating roller unit, and fixed parts 13c, 13d in the point end are connected to a tray end part 1b. A central part 13g is extended to just before a nip part of the separating roller 6 and the paper feed roller 5 to guide a point end of the transfer paper.</p> |
