A copying machine including a paper sheet deflecting device is disclosed. For compact copying machines an excessively curved sheet deflection is achieved for a space-saving construction. In order to reliably and independently of the type of sheets ensure a deflection with a relatively pronounced curvature, the deflecting device of the new copying machine is constructed as a guiding element which partially surrounds a withdrawal roller and which, while leaving an introducing gap, rests with a predetermined contact force against the circumference of the withdrawal roller. The resulting active contact pressure force on the withdrawal roller for the sheet to be drawn in permits a secure paper transport with a simultaneous deflection with a small radius of curvature.

Copying machine comprising a deflecting device

A paper tray arrangement is disclosed for receiving a stack of paper and which is insertable into a receiving device of a copying machine or the like and which includes a supporting plate for the stack of paper and springs applied to the supporting plate to lift the supporting plate off the bottom of the tray. Tensioning apparatus is provided for the springs and a stop of the receiving device is assigned to the tensioning device in such a manner that the spring is tensioned when the paper tray is inserted into the receiving device and is relaxed when the paper tray is taken out of the receiving device.
