Abstract

A combined document cover and document storage assembly for a copying machine which copies both flat sheet documents and thick book documents. The document cover is hinged to the copyier along the edge remote from the operator so that the operator lifts the cover in an upward and rearward arcuate movement. The cover has a document holding pocket along the upper rear edge thereof for receiving the edges of a stack of documents placed on the cover to hold the documents in place when the cover is lifted, the pocket having a slanted wall in order to cause the documents to overlap each other by a small amount to facilitate grasping the uppermost document. The cover cooperates with the top wall of the housing of the copying machine in order to permit stacking of the documents after they have been copied in a manner which permits checking each successive copy with the original to be sure that the document is copied and to facilitate restacking of the documents in order corresponding to the order of the copies as these are stacked in exiting from the copying machine.
