Paper automatic-feeding apparatus, copying machine and facsimile apparatus

1. A paper automatic-feeding apparatus, comprising:

a first paper feeding path through which a paper medium passes;

a second paper feeding path which is arranged separately from the first paper feeding path and through which a paper medium passes;

a first fulcrum part to support a first chassis, which forms at least a part of the first paper feeding path, as a bearing so that the first chassis can be opened and closed;

a second fulcrum part to support a second chassis, which forms at least a part of the second paper feeding path, as a bearing so that the second chassis can be opened and closed; and

a fixation part to fix the first chassis and the second chassis so that the first chassis and the second chassis may be in a closed state through the fixation part being fixed on a predetermined fixed part; wherein

the predetermined fixed part and the second fulcrum part are formed as a common part;

the first fulcrum part supports the first chassis, which forms an upper plate of the first paper feeding path through which a paper medium passes, as a bearing so that the first chassis can be opened and closed when a paper is fed into a paper medium reading part; and

the second fulcrum part forms a lower plate of the first paper feeding path, and supports the second chassis, which forms an upper plate of the second paper feeding path through which a paper medium read by a paper reading part passes in order that the read paper may be turned inside out, as a bearing so that the second chassis can be opened and closed.

2. The paper automatic-feeding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the fixation part is mounted on the first chassis and fixes the first chassis and the second chassis so that the first chassis and the second chassis may be in the closed state through the fixation part being fixed onto the fixed part which is formed as the common part to the second fulcrum part.

3. The paper automatic-feeding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixation part is formed in a hook shape and fixes the first chassis and the second chassis so that the first chassis and the second chassis may be in the closed state through the fixation part being hooked on the second fulcrum part.

4. The paper automatic-feeding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the second fulcrum part has a predetermined concave part; and

the fixation part has a projecting shape and fixes the first chassis and the second chassis so that the first chassis and the second chassis may be in the closed state through the projecting part being fitted into the concave part.

5. A copying machine, comprising:

a first paper feeding path through which a paper medium passes;

a second paper feeding path which is arranged separately from the first paper feeding path and through which a paper medium passes;

a first fulcrum part to support a first chassis, which forms at least a part of the first paper feeding path, as a bearing so that the first chassis can be opened and closed;

a second fulcrum part to support a second chassis, which forms at least a part of the second paper feeding path, as a bearing so that the second chassis can be opened and closed; and

a fixation part to fix the first chassis and the second chassis so that the first chassis and the second chassis may be in a closed state through the fixation part being fixed on a predetermined fixed part; wherein

the predetermined fixed part and the second fulcrum part are formed as a common part;

the first fulcrum part supports the first chassis, which forms an upper plate of the first paper feeding path through which a paper medium passes, as a bearing so that the first chassis can be opened and closed when a paper is fed into a paper medium reading part; and

the second fulcrum part forms a lower plate of the first paper feeding path, and supports the second chassis, which forms an upper plate of the second paper feeding path through paper medium read by a paper reading part passes in order that the read paper may be turned inside out, as a bearing so that the second chassis can be opened and closed.

6. Facsimile apparatus, comprising:

a first paper feeding path through which a paper medium passes;

a second paper feeding path which is arranged separately from the first paper feeding path and through which a paper medium passes;

a first fulcrum part to support a first chassis, which forms at least a part of the first paper feeding path, as a bearing so that the first chassis can be opened and closed;

a second fulcrum part to support a second chassis, which forms at least a part of the second paper feeding path, as a bearing so that the second chassis can be opened and closed; and

a fixation part to fix the first chassis and the second chassis so that the first chassis and the second chassis may be in a closed state through the fixation part being fixed on a predetermined fixed part; wherein

the predetermined fixed part and the second fulcrum part are formed as a common part;

the first fulcrum part supports the first chassis, which forms an upper plate of the first paper feeding path through which a paper medium passes, as a bearing so that the first chassis can be opened and closed when a paper is fed into a paper medium reading part; and

the second fulcrum part forms a lower plate of the first paper feeding path, and supports the second chassis, which forms an upper plate of the second paper feeding path through paper medium read by a paper reading part passes in order that the read paper may be turned inside out, as a bearing so that the second chassis can be opened and closed.
