AUTOMATIC PAPER FEEDER

PURPOSE:To make setting a copy over so easy as well as to aim at perfection in feeding the copy, by installing a device, which moves a lever supporting an auxiliary roller up and down via a cam driving a magnet by means of a copy detecting signal, in a paper feeder for a facsimile, etc. CONSTITUTION:A copy 15 set by a copy detecting sensor 8 is detected whereby a magnet 11 is energized with a continuous rating current, and since a plunger 12 is attracted, a cam 9 rotates round a cam shaft 10 counterclockwise so that a lever 4 rotates clockwise with its own dead load and thereby an auxiliary roller 5 hits the copy 15 and stops thereat. At this time, the cam 9 and the lever 4 are kept apart from each other. As the auxiliary roller 5 is stretched with a belt 21 spanned between a pulley 20 and a V-groove in a roller shaft 6, if an automatic paper feed roller shaft 3 rotates, simultaneously with this, the auxiliary roller 5 rotates in the same direction and thereby a topper sheet of the copy 15 on a mounting block 7 is moved in a direction toward a roller 1 so that even when the mounting block 7 is in a state of horizontality, the copy 15 is perfectly fed to the extent of the roller 1 by action of the roller 5.
