Sheet material conveying device.

摘要

A sheet material conveying device having a feed roller assemblv (62) and a temporary obstructing means (64) disposed aownstream of the roller assembly (62). The device includes a driven shaft (134) which can be rotated by a driving source (118) and a plurality of driven rollers mounted on the shaft (134). The driven rollers comprise at least one positively driven roller (70al and at least one non-positively driven roller (70b). The positively driven roller (70a) is mounted on the driven shaft (134) so as to be rotated positively in accordance with the rotation of the driven shaft (134). The non-positively driven roller (70b) has an inside diameter (D2) larger than the outside diameter (d) of the driven shaft (134) and is rotatably mounted on the driven shaft (134). When the forward movement of the sheet material fed by the feed roller assembly (62) is obstructed by the temporary obstructing means (641). the rotation of the non-positively driven roller (70bi is stopped by the resistance of the sheet material exerted on the non-positively driven roller, in spite of the driven shaft (134) being rotated.
