Abstract

A double latch arrangement is disclosed for use in a reproduction system having a document handling device for the circulation of individual document sheets onto a copying exposure platen and a separate bound document copying apparatus. The latching mechanism is devised which will secure together both the document handling device with the bound document copying apparatus so as to be movable as a unit relative to an exposure platen of the reproduction system, or to permit only the document handling device to be so moved.
