Apparatus for receiving recording sheets in upset state for copying machine

A sheet receiving apparatus for collecting in facially reversed orientation copy sheets discharged from a discharge port of a copying machine, said apparatus comprising:

• sheet receiving means spaced below the machine discharge port for collecting the discharged copy sheets in facially reversed orientation;
• and
• guide means proximate the discharge port for downwardly deflecting discharged copy sheets toward said sheet receiving means, said guide means comprising a unitary structure formed of a substantially planar guide portion inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the direction of discharge of copy sheets from the machine and into which the copy sheets are deflectingly driven on discharge from the copying machine, and a deflecting portion unitarily extending from said guide portion at a predetermined angle with respect thereto so that the copy sheets deflected by said guide portion are thereafter further deflected by said deflecting portion to direct the copy sheets toward said sheet receiving means.
