ABSTRACT:
In a pivotably liftable platen cover unit for a copier or scanner, wherein the platen cover unit has an upper surface and at least one pocket for document sheets, the document retaining pocket provides an integral document retaining surface when the platen cover unit is lifted, and integral springs retain documents in the pocket when the platen cover unit is raised. The pocket preferably has a roof member spaced above the upper surface, and the springs are integral unitary extensions of the roof member which extend towards the upper surface of the platen cover unit within the pocket. Preferably, the document holding springs comprise two spaced apart, elongated cantilevered angled arms positioned to gradually engage document sheets in the pocket with document rounded surfaces spaced less than 20 centimeters apart at the ends of the arms.
