Abstract

A feeding device for a digital processing machine includes a paper passage, a sheet-feeding roller, a friction device, and a slide. The sheet-feeding roller is disposed in the paper passage, and the friction device is disposed opposite to the sheet-feeding roller. The sheet-feeding roller separates a sheet with the friction device. The slide is disposed at a left side and a right side of the sheet-feeding roller. The slide is lowered from a first position to a second position when the sheet-feeding roller rotates, such that the sheet contacts the sheet-feeding roller.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A feeding device for a digital processing machine, the feeding device comprising:
a paper passage;
a pickup roller disposed on the paper passage for picking up a sheet;
a sheet-feeding roller disposed on the paper passage and at a downstream side of the pickup roller;
a friction device disposed at a location opposite to the sheet-feeding roller;
a slide disposed by a left side and a right side of the pickup roller and disposed at an axle of the pickup roller; and
a one-way bearing sheathed on the axle of the pickup roller, the one-way bearing lowering the slide from a first position to a second position when the pickup roller rotates, such that the sheet contacts the pickup roller.

2. The feeding device of claim 1 , wherein the slide is higher than the pickup roller when the slide is at the first position, and the slide is lower than the pickup roller when the slide is at the second position.

3. The feeding device of claim 1 , further comprising a belt encircling the axle of the pickup roller and an axle of the sheet-feeding roller, the belt driving the sheet to pass through the paper passage.

4. The feeding device of claim 1 , further comprising an additional pickup roller and an additional sheet-feeding roller, the pickup roller and the additional pickup roller being coaxially disposed with each other, and the sheet-feeding roller and the additional sheet-feeding roller being coaxially disposed with each other.

5. A feeding device for a digital processing machine, the feeding device comprising:
a paper passage;
a pickup roller disposed on the paper passage for picking up a sheet;
a sheet-feeding roller disposed on the paper passage and at a downstream side of the pickup roller;
a friction device disposed at a location opposite to the sheet-feeding roller;
a slide disposed by a left side and a right side of the pickup roller; and
a one-way bearing sheathed on an axle of the pickup roller, the one-way bearing lowering the slide from a first position to a second position when the pickup roller rotates, such that the sheet contacts the pickup roller.

6. The feeding device of claim 5 , wherein the slide is higher than the pickup roller when the slide is at the first position, and the slide is lower than the pickup roller when the slide is at the second position.

7. The feeding device of claim 5 , further comprising a belt encircling the axle of the pickup roller and an axle of the sheet-feeding roller, the belt driving the sheet to pass through the paper passage.

8. The feeding device of claim 5 , further comprising an additional pickup roller and an additional sheet-feeding roller, the pickup roller and the additional pickup roller being coaxially disposed with each other, and the sheet-feeding roller and the additional sheet-feeding roller being coaxially disposed with each other.

9. A feeding device for a digital processing machine, the feeding device comprising:
a paper passage;
a sheet-feeding roller disposed on the paper passage;
a friction device disposed at a location opposite to the sheet-feeding roller, the sheet-feeding roller separating a sheet with the friction device;
a slide disposed by a left side and a right side of the sheet-feeding roller and moving with rotation of the sheet-feeding roller; and
a one-way bearing sheathed on an axle of the sheet-feeding roller, the one-way bearing lowering the slide from a first position to a second position when the sheet-feeding roller rotates;
wherein the slide is lowered from the first position to the second position when the sheet-feeding roller rotates, such that the sheet contacts the sheet-feeding roller.

10. The feeding device of claim 9 , wherein the slide is higher than the sheet-feeding roller when the slide is at the first position, and the slide is lower than the sheet-feeding roller when the slide is at the second position.

11. The feeding device of claim 9 , wherein the slide is disposed at the axle of the sheet-feeding roller.
