PURPOSE:To eliminate structural futility and make a device small-sized by providing a reversing mechanism reversing sheets and a stacker section storing the reversed sheets on a double-face copying machine and simultaneously performing the inversion and storage of one-face copied sheets. CONSTITUTION:Sheets R branched from a sheet discharging path on the downstream side of a fixing section and fed through a double-face copying path are received between upper and lower guide plates 18, 19. The sheets R are conveyed between multiple endless belts 22 stretched across a large-diameter pulley 20 and a small-diameter pulley 21 and rollers 23 so as to travel on the lower guide plate 29, and they are reversed along a reverse guide plate 24 and are discharged backward from the pinching point 26 of a pressure-contact roller 24. A stacker section 8 has an inclined stacker base plate 29 and a sheet restricting member, and the nozzle 32 of a blast fan 31 feeding the air beneath the sheets R discharged from the reversing mechanism 7 is provided on the upstream side of the base plate 29. The sheets R dropped along the slant face of the stacker section 8 hit the stopper 33 and their tips are aligned. |
