SHEET FEEDING MECHANISM FOR A SMALL DUPLICATING MACHINE

摘要

The sheet feeding mechanism for a small offset duplicating machine has a sheet engaging element axially adjustable on a continuously rotating drive shaft. The engaging part of the element has an exposed face arcuately convex about the axis of rotation and two terminal sections offset from the exposed face in opposite circumferential directions. Two carrier parts of the element respectively connect the terminal sections to the shaft. One of the two carrier parts is sufficiently resilient to permit some radial movement of the associated terminal section under the deforming pressure of a sheet engaged by the exposed face, while the other carrier part is rigid enough to prevent circumferential movement of the entire face.
