ABSTRACT:
Sheet transport apparatus together with reproducing apparatus employing the sheet transport apparatus are provided, wherein a portion of the sheet transport comprises a first sheet guide member and a second sheet guide member in opposed spaced guiding relationship to the first sheet guide member, and defining therebetween a portion of a sheet transport path. The second sheet guide member is pivotally mounted at its upstream end and has attached at its downstream end a U-shaped member which extends from said second sheet guide member through the defined sheet transport path and into the plane of said first sheet guide member defining an aperture therein enclosing a cross sectional slice of said transport path. With this apparatus, when a sheet is transported through a portion of the sheet transport path, it passes within the aperture formed by the U-shaped member and the second sheet guide member. In a preferred embodiment the pivotally mounted second sheet guide member, together with its U-shaped member provide a means for readily clearing a copy paper jam adjacent to the photoreceptor without the necessity of physically contacting the photoreceptor.
