Patent ID: 8469350

Claim:
An office machine capable of automatically transmitting a document thereinto and out therefrom, comprising: a pedestal ( 10 ) including an image-handling unit ( 11 ) and a passage guider ( 12 ) made of magnetic material, the image-handling unit ( 11 ) being disposed in a top of the pedestal ( 10 ) and exposed out of a top face of the pedestal ( 10 ) for handling the document, the passage guider ( 12 ) being pivoted to the top face of the pedestal ( 10 ); an automatic document feeder ( 20 ) rotatably coupled with the pedestal ( 10 ), capable of rotating between an open position exposing the image-handling unit ( 11 ) and a closed position covering the image-handling unit ( 11 ), the automatic document feeder ( 20 ) defining a passage ( 21 ) which includes an entering passage ( 22 ), an operating passage ( 23 ) and an exiting passage ( 24 ) connected in sequence from upstream to downstream according to the direction of transmitting the document in the passage ( 21 ), the operating passage ( 23 ) being formed between the automatic document feeder ( 20 ) and the image-handling unit ( 11 ), a magnetic component ( 25 ) being mounted to the automatic document feeder ( 20 ), wherein a pivoted end of the passage guider ( 12 ) is pivoted near to a downstream side of the image-handling unit ( 11 ), when the automatic document feeder ( 20 ) is at the closed position, the passage guider ( 12 ) rotates upward according to the magnetic attraction of the magnetic component ( 25 ) to make a free end thereof project into the passage ( 21 ) and apart located between an upper inner sidewall ( 241 ) and a lower inner sidewall ( 242 ) of the entrance of the exiting passage ( 24 ) so as to guide the handled document into the exiting passage ( 24 ), the passage guider ( 12 ) rotates downward against the pedestal ( 10 ) when the automatic document feeder ( 20 ) is at the open position to set free the passage guider ( 12 ) from the magnetic component ( 25 ).
