摘要:
A double-side digital copier reads an image on documents fed into an image reading unit in accordance with a predetermined cycle based on copying conditions such as the number of copies to be made and single/double-side copying, and the number of documents and copy sheets temporarily maintained in the respective circulation paths formed therein. Further the image data obtained by that reading are stored in two memories alternately, one of the memories alone, or both the memories in a predetermined order in accordance with the predetermined cycle, and are read out in a corresponding order, optimizing throughput without increasing the manufacturing costs.

A copy sheet stack apparatus stacks copy sheets discharged from an image-forming device and binds them be means of a staple. The apparatus comprises a first accommodating device for accommodating copy sheets discharged from the image-forming device, a staple device for binding by way of the staple the copy sheets accommodated into the first accommodating device, a second accommodating device disposed below the first accommodating device to accommodate a bundle of the copy sheets bound be means of the staple, a fall device for making the bundle of the copy sheets bound by way of the staple fall from the first accommodating device to accommodate into the second accommodating device by its own weight, and a guide device disposed between the first accommodating device and the second accommodating device to guide the bundle of the copy sheets fallen from the first accommodating device to the second accommodating device. The guide device has a curl device for curling each bundle of the copy sheets in a direction intersecting perpendicularly to a bundle discharging direction so as to make each bundle thereof get rigid to smooth discharge it.

An apparatus for storing papers ejected from a copying machine or the like and stapling them after alignment, comprises a contacting member which contacts each paper being transported into a stapling tray to urge the paper for alignment in a specified portion, and a plurality of pressing members for pressing the transported papers at the upper portion thereof against the tray, each of the pressing members is individually adapted correspondingly to the sizes of papers. The contact between the contacting member and the papers is relieved when the stapled papers are discharged from the tray. The pressing members are actuated in conjunction with the paper transporting operation correspondingly to the size of papers. The contacting member is arranged at a location less distant from transport rollers for transporting papers into the tray than the length of paper in the direction of transporting paper on the tray.

A sheet storing apparatus wherein sheets ejected from a copying machine one after another are stacked in order, and the sheets are supplied to the copying machine again. The apparatus comprises a sheet storing unit wherein sheets are stored, a transporter for transporting sheets to the storing unit, a regulator for preventing sheets supported by a sheet support surface of the storing unit from moving back toward the entrance thereof, a pressure member for pressing each sheet transported to the unit against the support surface and a refeeder for feeding out the stored sheets one by one. Each time a sheet is transported to the unit, the pressure member presses the sheet, whereby the end of the sheet passes through the regulator to be put between the support surface and the regulator. Also, in feeding sheets out of the unit, the pressure member presses the sheet stack against the refeeder. The pressure member has a mechanism for adjusting the pressure on the sheet stack in proportion to the thickness of the stack. Each time a sheet is transported to the unit, the timing of actuating the pressure member is determined, and the position of the pressure member is detected. When it is not detected that the pressure member is in a pressing position within a specified time after a timing signal was generated, a controller judges that a sheet jam has occurred.
摘要:
A sheet storing apparatus comprising a tray for receiving sheets ejected from a copying machine, a first shift unit for reciprocating the tray in the direction perpendicular to the ejection of sheets, an aligning member for aligning the sheets on the tray, which is in contact with the surface of the top of the sheets on the tray and a second shift unit for shiting the aligning member in the same direction as that of the shifting of the tray. The sheets are divided by the shifting of the tray every time a set of sheets finishes to be transported onto the tray, and the aligning member is shifted synchronized with the shifting of the tray. Further, the sheet storing apparatus is provided with a rotatable ejection roller for transporting sheets onto the tray and a round transport member which is in contact with the ejection roller and rotatable together with the rotation of the ejection roller, and through between which and the ejection roller and sheets are transported onto the tray, and the ejection roller is shifted in the direction perpendicular to the ejection of sheets synchronized with the shifting of the tray.

A copying apparatus includes an image forming device, a sheet reversal mechanism, and a sheet holding device having a tray, each of the components being independently separable. The sheet reversal mechanism transports to the tray each sheet either in face-up condition or with its face turned downward. The tray is lowered according to the volume of sheets loaded thereon and is caused to shift on a horizontal plane under a specified timing control. The lowering of the tray is effected through detection by a sensor of the volume of sheets loaded on the tray. After each such lowering, any downward movement of the tray is inhibited until a next sheet is loaded on the tray.

A sheet sorting device having a plurality of bins arranged vertically for accommodating sheets transported by a sheet transporting device and a sheet adjusting member provided in a vertical direction with respect to the sheet transporting device. One of the bins which faces a sheet aligning member is slid horizontally thereto by a moving mechanism so as to align a sheet accommodated in each bin by the sheet aligning member by pushing the sheet to an aligning reference portion formed by adjacent two sides of each bin. The sheet sorting device further has a stapler in the vicinity of the sheet aligning member to staple the sheets aligned by the sheet aligning member. At least either the bins or the aligning member and sheet transporting device is capable of being elevated up and down so as to transport sheets to each bin by the sheet transport device while the sheet aligning member aligns the sheet transported to the bin one by one.
摘要:
A paper container has a finisher unit which comprises transporting rollers to transport copying papers ejected from a copying machine to a tray, a paddle wheel to transport a copying paper to a reference member for alignment immediately after a trailing edge of the copying paper leaves the transporting rollers, and a stapler to staple the copying papers aligned on the tray. The paper container also has a stack unit to stack the stapled papers. The stack unit is permanently secured onto the image forming device, or an distance between the stack unit and the finisher unit is arbitrarily adjusted, while the finisher unit is attached to the image forming device and detached if so required.
摘要:
A copying machine with a predetermined variable magnification range is capable of providing a wider range of magnification values. The copying magnification desired can be entered into the copying machine and if the desired magnification data is out of the predetermined range, the machine can automatically calculate the number of times that a copy must be made and can also determine the magnification ratio for each copy to produce the desired final magnification value. The number of times that the copying process must be repeated with the copying paper being used as an original for each process can be displayed to the operator.
