ABSTRACT:
An automatic document feeder for an image processing machine. A main frame is so mounted as to be pivoted with respect to a platen glass provided on the housing of the image forming machine. A paper feeding unit is provided at one end of the main frame, and a paper discharging unit is provided at the other end. A conveyer belt mechanism is disposed between the paper feeding unit and the paper discharging unit. A document-placing table is attached to a table support means provided for the paper feeding unit, and is allowed to move in the back-and-forth direction of the image forming machine, so that its position can be adjusted, thereby permitting adjustment of any deviation between the optical axis of the image forming machine and the center line of the document fed by the automatic document feeder. The paper feeding unit is further provided with an open/close frame pivotally mounted on the main frame by at least one hollow split-bearing. An electrical wire is inserted within the hollow cylindrical portion of the split-bearing in order to eliminate the need to adjust the movement of the electrical wire with the rotation of the open/close frame.
