Abstract
An original conveying apparatus includes a follower roller unit which is moved to its deployed position to define an extension of an original conveying path over the upper surface of the copying machine when a book carrier is used in order to convey an original having substantial thickness. A follower roller holding member is disposed within the unit and moves in interlocked relationship with the movement of the unit to its deployed position so as to maintain the follower roller in its position projecting above an original guide surface when the unit is moved to its deployed position.
