Abstract
A stencil discharging apparatus in a stencil printing machine which uses a stencil paper wound on the outer cylindrical surface of a rotary cylindrical drum. The stencil discharging apparatus includes: a stencil discharging claw movable between a standby position which is located near the outer cylindrical surface of the rotary cylindrical drum and is spaced a predetermined distance from the rotary cylindrical drum, and a stencil separating position which is closer to the rotary cylindrical drum, for removing the stencil paper from the rotary cylindrical drum; a used-stencil accommodating section for receiving the stencil paper thus removed from the rotary cylindrical drum by the stencil discharging claw; a conveyer for conveying the stencil paper thus removed from the rotary cylindrical drum by the stencil discharging claw to the used-stencil accommodating section; a detector for detecting whether or not the stencil discharging claw is at the standby position; and a controller, for permitting the following operation to start when the detector detects that the stencil discharging claw is at the standby position after a stencil discharging operation, and for inhibiting the starting of the following operation when the detector detects that the stencil discharging claw is not at the standby position after the stencil discharging operation.
