Abstract
A device for removing document jamming generated at a platen roller and a contact image sensor of a facsimile comprising sensor brackets mounted to opposite ends of the contact image sensor and pivotally mounted to both sides of a main frame of the body of the facsimile, so as to pivotally move the contact image sensor, each of the sensor brackets having an operating portion, and cam members each having a cam surface being in contact with the operating portion of the corresponding sensor bracket. Each cam member pivotally moves the contact image sensor between its operation position where it is in contact with the platen roller and its document jamming removal position where it is separated from the platen roller to form a gap therebetween. An actuating lever is connected to the cam members for moving it between a first position corresponding to the operation position of the cam members and a second position corresponding to the document jamming removal position. In the device, a certain gap can be formed between the platen roller and the contact image sensor, only by the manipulation of the actuating lever disposed outside of the facsimile body.
