Abstract
A document turnover device mounted on a copying apparatus adjacent an exit end thereof receives documents being fed through the copying apparatus by a document feeding mechanism and inverts them from a first orientation to the reverse orientation. A guide or deflector deflects the documents from the high speed discharge rollers of the document feeding mechanism to a slow speed turnover drive mechanism. The document turnover device allows the documents to be pushed through the drive mechanism at the higher speed and then decelerates the documents following their release from the discharge rollers for neat stacking upon the cover of the copying apparatus.
