Abstract
An original conveying apparatus is provided for use in a copying machine having a moving original receptacle which permits a copying from either a sheet original or a thick material. A thick material receptacle is integrally formed with a sheet original drive. A sheet original is conveyed by the sheet original drive while the receptacle is maintained at its home position. A thick material is conveyed by a reciprocatory movement of the receptacle from its home position, without previously changing its position. The sheet original drive can be smoothly engaged with or disengaged from a transmission system.
