Abstract
Disclosed is an paper feeding device or a pack holder capable of preventing noise or a misfeeding when printing envelopes or postcards. The pack holder can be adjusted to feed standard size paper or postcards and envelopes. A sliding plate is used when feeding postcards and envelopes so that the last postcard or envelope in the stack can be fed into the machine successfully. The sliding plate allows only one of the two feeding rollers to make contact with a friction pad during the feeding of postcards and envelopes.
Claims16
A paper feeding device, comprising:
- a first loading unit having a first plate;
- a pair of friction pads being disposed on said first plate for loading a first paper;
- a pair of feeding rollers located in operational relationship to said pair of friction pads;
- a second loading unit having a third friction pad disposed thereon for loading a second paper;
- and
- a fastener mounting said second loading unit so that said third friction pad can be selectively positioned in operational relationship with one of said pair of feeding rollers.
A pack holder device, comprising:
- a base having a recess;
- first and second spaced-apart feeding rollers positioned to feed paper from said pack holder;
- a first friction pad in operational relationship with said first feeding roller;
- a second friction pad in operational relationship with said second feeding roller;
- a plate supporting both said first and said second friction pads in pressed relationship respectively against both said first and said second feeding rollers upon loading a first paper;
- and
- a sliding plate, disposed within said recess and covering one of said first and second friction pads and supporting a third friction pad in pressed relationship against one of said first and second feeding rollers corresponding to said covered friction pad when loading a second paper smaller than said first paper.
A method of loading a packholder with envelopes and postcards, comprising:
- providing a base unit having a pair of friction pads and a pair of feeding rollers that act in cooperative relationship with said friction pads;
- providing a sliding plate having a bottom side and a top side, said bottom side facing said base and a top side having a friction pad disposed thereon;
- moving said sliding plate having said friction pad from between said pair of friction pads on said base to a position covering one of said pair of friction pads on said base so that said friction pad on said sliding plate acts in cooperative relationship with one of said pair of feeding rollers;
- and
- inserting envelopes and postcards between said friction pad on said top side of said sliding plate and said one of said pair of feeding rollers.
