摘要:
The present invention is of a paper transferring apparatus for a copying machine which consists of a pair of upper and lower resist rollers and a pair of upper and lower pre-transfer rollers located at a photoreceptor-drum side from these resist rollers, andthe upper roller out of the paired upper and lower resists rollers has a substantially larger roller diameter at the center part in the axial direction of the roller in comparison with that at the both ends, and the lower roller thereof has a uniform roller diameter throughout the roller, andthe upper roller out of the paired upper and lower pre-transfer rollers has a substantially smaller roller diameter at the center part in the axial direction of the roller in comparison with that at the both end parts, and the lower roller thereof has a uniform roller diameter throughout the roller.

A second side face opposes to a first side face. A first handle is provided on the first side face at a first position and adapted to be used to lift an image forming apparatus. A second handle is provided on the second side face at a second position which is higher than the first position, and adapted to be used to lift the image forming apparatus together with the first handle. A center of gravity for the image forming apparatus is located closer to the first side face than the second side face.

An image forming apparatus includes a first path, adapted to transport a medium; an image former, disposed in the first path, and operable to form an image on the medium transported therethrough; a second path, adapted to transport the medium, which has once passed through the image former, while turning inside out, thereby allowing the medium to pass through the image former again; and a transport controller, operable to transport the medium with a first speed when the medium first passes through the image former, and to transport the medium in the second path with a second speed lower than the first speed, in a case where the image to be formed on the medium which has passed through the second path is a multiple color image.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that superposes images on an intermediate transfer member by rotations of the intermediate transfer member to form a color image on the intermediate transfer member, a transfer portion that transfers the image formed on the intermediate transfer member in the image forming portion to a sheet, a fixing portion that fixes the image onto the sheet, and a switchback portion that switches back the sheet so as to return the sheet to the transfer portion for forming the image on a second face of the sheet, after the image has been formed on a first face of the sheet. The sheet is returned through a return path at a return speed equal to or lower than a delivery speed of the sheet in the transfer portion, when the image for the second face of the sheet is the color image.

An automatic document feeder includes first and second registration rollers for abutting the leading end of an original conveyed along a conveying path against their contact positions. The first registration roller is included in a plurality of reversing rollers arranged apart from each other along an axis of a supporting shaft of each of the reversing rollers. The reversing roller turn over the original along a reversing path that bypasses a part of the conveying path. There is provided a reversal guiding member arranged so as to cover a region between the adjacent reversing rollers. The reversal guiding member has guide surfaces curved along the peripheral surfaces of the reversing rollers as viewed along the axis of the supporting shaft. The reversal of the original is guided along the reversing path by the guide surfaces.

An automatic document feeder of a type having a document inverting mechanism beside a document sending-in path is disclosed which, when a document located at a document exposure position is to be inverted, operates a conveying belt mechanism in a predetermined direction to convey the document by a predetermined amount in a direction away from a document positioning member, then brings a document positioning member to a retreat position, and then operates the conveying belt mechanism in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction to convey the document to the document inverting mechanism.

A recycle document feeder according to the present invention includes a pair of document width regulating guides (9a, 9b) for guiding opposite edges of document originals (D) fed back onto a document placing plate (8) for alignment thereof with respect to the width thereof. With this construction, if the document width regulating guides (9a, 9b) each had a small length (A) as measured along a document transportation direction, the document originals (D) fed back onto the document placing plate (8) could not properly be aligned by the document width regulating guides (9a, 9b) thereby to be randomly stacked on the skew with respect to the document transportation direction. In view of this, the document width regulating guides (9a, 9b) are constructed so as to guide the document originals fed back onto the document placing plate (8) from a document discharge portion (30) over a distance equivalent to or greater than 60% of the length of a smallest document original (as measured along the transportation direction) which is to be possibly transported by the recycle document feeder.

In an automatic document feeder, an original tray has an original platen on its upper surface. Originals put on the original platen are fed along a conveying path by conveying rollers and conveyance auxiliary rollers. The originals fed are separated one at a time by separating belts and separating rollers which are arranged above and below a conveying path. When a conveyance guide plate constituting a part of the original platen is removed upward, the separating rollers, the conveying rollers, and the conveyance auxiliary rollers and a portion for supporting the rollers are exposed upward, so that maintenance such as replacement of components such as the separating rollers, the conveying rollers and the conveyance auxiliary rollers can be performed.

A paper feeder having a feed unit for dispensing paper from a paper containing unit and delivering the paper to a transport assembly. The feeder comprises a first guide portion for guiding the paper containing unit and a second guide portion for guiding the feed unit. The paper containing unit and the feed unit are slidably supported by the first guide portion and the second guide portion respectively individually.

A development device includes a developer container reserving a liquid developer containing toner particles and a carrier liquid. A developer supply member supplies a developer supporting member with liquid developer. An agitating member is disposed in the developer container and supplies the developer supply member with the liquid developer. A developer supporting member cleaning member removes liquid developer on the developer supporting member. The developer container includes a first developer holding section having at least one communication section for making liquid developer flow in, a second developer holding section for reserving liquid developer recovered by the developer supporting member cleaning member, and a partition member partitioning between the first and second developer holding sections, and at least one flowing section shifted from the communication section in an axial direction of the agitating member and allowing liquid developer to move between the first and second developer holding sections.
