Abstract:
1. A paper stopper mechanism for a paper-feeding apparatus, comprising: a rotary shaft drivable by a transmission gear, wherein the rotary shaft is provided with a stopper section; a stopper plate having an end pivotally connected to the rotary shaft and movable between a first position and a second position along with the rotation of the rotary shaft; and a resilient member disposed between the rotary shaft and the transmission gear, the rotary shaft and the transmission gear frictionally interfering with the resilient member to provide a frictional force for the transmission gear to drive and rotate the rotary shaft, wherein the stopper section of the rotary shaft is kept to lean against a first stopper section by the frictional force when the stopper plate is located at the first position, and the stopper section of the rotary shaft is kept to lean against a second stopper section by the frictional force when the stopper plate is located at the second position.
