Abstract
An apparatus for peeling or separating a record paper from a photosensitive drum of an electrophotographic copying machine immediately after a toner image formed on the photosensitive drum has been transferred onto the record paper comprising a pair of pawls each for peeling a respective side edge of the record paper off the drum, a duct for blowing an air stream in a space between the paper and the drum, and first and second guide plates arranged subtantially in parallel with each other to define a paper passage along which the peeled paper is fed, a plurality of elongated holes being formed in the first and second guide plates so as to introduce an air stream into the passage, which air stream serves to press the paper against the second guide plate, a front edge of the first guide plate being recessed in V-shape or convex manner in a direction of a paper feeding and/or being made apart from the second guide plate in a direction perpendicular to the paper feeding direction, so that a curved front edge of record paper does not strike against the front edge of first guide plate.
