Abstract
The present invention relates to a document pusher plate to be used in an image forming equipment in which a document pusher plate which can be freely opened and closed by a hinge mechanism is mounted on a document set plate of the image forming equipment and a document is fed to the position of exposure on the document set plate or delivered from the position of exposure by rotating or reversing document transfer means arranged at the side of a document feeding device in the document pusher plate. This document pusher plate is provided with a reinforcement plate at the side of the document transfer means at the rear side thereof, and one end of the reinforcement plate is linked with the hinge mechanism, thereby causing warping or deflection of the document pusher plate to be prevented, accomplishing low cost of the production and light weight, and causing the document transfer to be accurate and stabilized by means of an automatic document feeding unit.
