Abstract
An image recording sheet, such as a developer sheet, is fed so as to overlap a light-exposed sheet, such as a photosensitive pressure-sensitive sheet which carries an image recorded thereon. The image is transferred from the exposed sheet to the image recording sheet at a pressure developing unit. The image recording sheet is delivered to cause a leading end thereof to abut the exposed sheet, while being fed into the developing unit at a position near an inlet of the developing unit for allowing the image recording sheet to move along and with the exposed sheet into the developing unit. A device for feeding an image recording sheet is an image recording apparatus, said image recording apparatus including an exposure unit for light-exposure to said sheet for forming the latent image, and a pressure developing unit disposed at downstream side of the exposed unit at which the light-exposed sheet and the image recording sheet are overlappingly pressed. The device for feeding comprises: a stop means for temporarily preventing the image recording sheet from feeding to the developing unit, and driving means for selectively allowing the image recording sheet to pass therethrough in respons…
