Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2021189433
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To prevent damage associated with a door closing operation even when a guide plate is at an open position.SOLUTION: An upstream-side closing unit 50 having an upstream-side holding release part 51 and an upstream-side guide part 52 is provided at a position on an inner surface of a front door 120 opposite to an upstream conveying unit 40. When the front door 120 is closed, the upstream-side holding release part 51 comes into contact with the tip of a jamming release lever 41, and thereby an upper guide part 40A is separated from a guide holding body 130. The upstream-side guide part 52 is provided with a retraction member 52a, and in association with closing of the front door 120, the tip of the jamming release lever 41 is brought into contact with the retraction member 52a. The retraction member 52a is pushed by the jamming release lever 41 and rotates toward the front door 120. In this way, the upstream-side closing unit 50 releases the holding of a second guide plate held by the guide holding body 130, and moves the second guide plate to a closed position while retracting so as to prevent the upper guide part 40A from being pushed by the front door 120 and damaged.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
