Electrostatic copying apparatus.

摘要

The present invention relates to an electrostatic copying apparatus comprising a multifunctional conveying means (92) for carrying the copying paper sheet from the downstream end of the paper conveying passage and delivering the copying paper to the paper returning passage from the upstream end of the paper returning passage, and the multifunctional conveying means includes a lower supporting shaft (302) and an upper supporting shaft (304) vertically spaced from each other, a first conveying roller (306) mounted on the lower supporting shaft (302), a second conveying roller (308) mounted on the upper supporting shaft (304) and delivering the copying paper from the downstream end of the paper conveying passage in cooperation with the first conveying roller (306), and a carrying means located below the first conveying roller (306) for carrying the copying paper into the paper returning passage from the upstream end of the paper returning passage, and a forcing means for forcing downwardly the trailing end portion of the copying paper which has passed the nipping site between the first conveying roller (306) and the second conveying roller (308).
