<p>PURPOSE:To simplify construction and reduce cost of a copier by providing a projecting guide body for guiding both edges of a copying paper integrally with a paper supply tray on the paper delivery side thereof. CONSTITUTION:A paper supply device uses a rubber or resin paddle wheel 5 rotatably driven by a drive shaft 4 for a delivery means. The wheel 5 contacts frictionally a blank P in a cassette tray 1 when the wheel 5 rotates to deliver the blank P in the direction of arrow A. Then the uppermost blank P frictionally contacting the paddle wheel 5 is regulated on both edges by both projections 2a of the cassette tray 1 to be delivered under the partially bent condition. The rest of blanks P below the uppermost one tending to follow the uppermost one do not have their ends regulated by both projections 2a to be delivered. Also, the end of the delivered blank P is conducted by an inclined front wall 3 to move to a copier body.</p> |
