A document transmitting interval retainer for a facsimile comprising:
- a shaft including a step-like portion on one end and a groove formed along the circumference on an opposite end of the shaft;
- a document feeding roller rotatably mounted on said shaft, said document feeding roller having a projection on one end;
- a bushing in which the step-like portion is inserted, said bushing having an idling stopping means that protrudes in one lateral direction for contacting said projection to keep the document feeding roller from idling when said shaft is rotated;
- and
- a fixing ring having a pair of hooked catches formed on one side to be inserted into the groove to keep the document feeding roller from being disjoined from the shaft.
A document feeding apparatus, comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical roller having a first and a second end, said second end containing a protrusion extending parallel to an axis of said roller;
- a cylindrical shaft having a first end and a second end having a stepped portion, said cylindrical shaft being inserted through said hollow cylindrical roller so as to be concentric with said hollow cylindrical roller, said first end of said cylindrical shaft having a groove extending around the circumference;
- a bushing placed over said stepped portion of said second end of said shaft, said bushing containing an idling stopper that engages with said protrusion on said second end of said hollow cylindrical roller when said shaft is rotated, causing said roller to rotate with said shaft;
- and
- a fixing ring mounted on said cylindrical shaft for keeping said hollow cylindrical roller from being disjoined from said cylindrical shaft.
