<p>PURPOSE:To stably remove static electricity on a loading part by providing a grounding means for grounding said loading part to the outer surface of a frame via a supporting part. CONSTITUTION:When documents are set on a reference position on a platen 77, a sheet take in command is issued from a copying machine 3, a take in roller 47 is rotated, and the sheets are taken in into the copying machine 3. When the sheets are taken in by a defined quantity, a hopper 29 is lifted up by a certain quantity, to make a sheet always in contact with a feed roller. When the hopper 29 is moved vertically, an electricity removing brush 145 slides being in contact with a metal plate 141. Thereby, in whichever position the hopper 29 may stay, a static electricity which is charged in the hopper 29 always flows to the metal plate 141 via a supporting member 26, an arm 143, and the electricity removing brush 145, and spread in a metal frame 32 and removed.</p> |
