A conveying apparatus includes a plurality of pairs of conveying rollers which are disposed for abutment against each other for transporting a copy sheet carrying an unfixed toner image thereon toward a fixing unit. A cleaning member is disposed for abutment against those rollers which are adapted to contact the toner image to clean them and to charge them triboelectrically to the same polarity as the toner.

Apparatus for conveying copy sheet for electrophotographic copying

A copying machine includes a shutter mechanism comprising a light shield member which intercepts the incidence of extraneous light onto a photosensitive drum through an exposure window, and a detecting member which is operated by a cover which forms a conveyor unit for a sheet-shaped original or by a book carrier on which a thick original is placed. A movement of the light shield member into or out of an exposure light path is controlled by the operation of the detecting member.
