Abstract
A sheet processing device according to the present invention is formed of an image forming device, an ejecting device and a stacking device; wherein the sheet processing device further includes an auxiliary support device which is disposed at a distal side in a sheet ejecting direction of the support device. The auxiliary support device is rotatably moved between a support position for supporting at least a forward end of the sheet and a retracting position from the support position. Whereby the stacking area of the support device can be varied, and the ejecting of the sheets temporarily stacked on the stacking device can be easily accomplished.
Claims14
A sheet processing device having stationary support means for supporting one or more sheets supplied from image forming means, ejecting means for ejecting said one or more sheets supported by the support means, and stacking means for stacking said one or more sheets ejected from the support means by the ejecting means, wherein said sheet processing device further includes:
- auxiliary support means disposed on a forward side in an ejection direction of a sheet on the support means, said auxiliary support means rotating between a support position for supporting at least the forward side of the sheet and a retreating position retreated from said support position.
A sheet processing device, comprising:
- stationary support means for supporting one or more sheets supplied from image forming means,
- first ejecting means for contacting one of the surfaces of said one or more sheets supported by the support means,
- second ejecting means for contacting the other of the surfaces of said one or more sheets,
- contacting-separating means for allowing the second ejecting means to contact and be separated from the other of the surfaces of said one or more sheets, and
- auxiliary support means disposed at a forward side in a sheet ejection direction on the support means, said auxiliary support means rotating between a support position in which at least the forward side of the sheet is supported and a retracted position for retreating from the support position.
