Abstract
In a copier, copy sheet handling apparatus is provided which includes a pair of feed rollers spaced apart from each other, and a copy sheet tray which extends substantially transversely through a plane which, in turn, extends midway between the feed rollers. Further, the copy sheet handling apparatus includes structure for swivelably supporting the tray in the aforesaid plane; and instrumentalities cooperative with the supporting structure for applying a resilient force to the tray substantially in the aforesaid plane to move the tray toward the feed rollers for disposition of a copy sheet into engagement with the feed rollers, whereby the force is substantially equally distributed between the feed rollers.
