Apparatus for ejecting documents from a document carriage.

摘要

The original carriage (12) of a document reproduction machine (10) is arranged for movement, from the home position shown, to the right for scanning a document on platen 24 and thereafter back to the home position. A roller system 34 engages a document on the carriage during its return to eject the document into tray 36. The roller system may engage to carriage at all times and be freely rotatable in an anticlockwise direction only, or it may be powered, either by a spring or electric motor, to rotate in a clockwise direction during carriage return.
