ABSTRACT:
In an electrophotographic copying apparatus of the type utilizing a photoconductor which is rotated in a predetermined direction with an image transfer material in close contact therewith for transferring an electrostatic latent image or a visible image formed on the surface of the photoconductor to the image transfer material, an image transfer material separation and transportation apparatus capable of separating the image transfer material to which the image has been transported from the surface of the photoconductor and transporting the same in the direction of the photoconductor. One leading edge corner of the image transfer material is bent by a corner bending apparatus before the image transfer material is brought into close contact with the surface of the photoconductor. The bent corner is small in area and is formed in such a manner as to be turned up from the surface of the photoconductor by an image transfer material catching and separation member which is disposed in contact with or in close proximity to the surface of the photoconductor drum, and is very effective for leading the image transfer material into the image transfer material separation and transportation apparatus. The image transfer material separation and transportation apparatus has at least two rotating members which are capable of holding the image transfer material therebetween and separating the same from the surface of the photoconductor.
