Copying paper conveying device in electrostatic copying apparatus

摘要

A copying paper conveying device for conveying a sheet of copying paper having an upper and a lower introducing passage and a main conveying passage extending from a point of meeting of the upper and lower introducing passages. A pair of conveyor rollers are disposed in the upper introducing passage, and a pair of timing rollers are diposed in the main conveying passage. At least the downstream sections of the upper and lower introducing passages are partitioned by a common guide plate, and at least the downstream section of the common guide plate is formed of a flexible material. When a copying paper is conveyed through the upper introducing passage and the main conveying passage, the pair of conveying rollers are actuated in relation to the operation of the pair of timing rollers, and the copying paper is maintained bent between the pair of conveying rollers and the pair of timing rollers at least until the trailing edge of the copying paper leaves the pair of conveying rollers.
