Abstract

An office machine includes a housing, a support member, a first restraining member and a first roller assembly. The housing has an acting surface with a first end point. An acting point is defined on the support member. The first restraining member has a first restraining point and a second restraining point. The first roller assembly has a first nip point. The second restraining point is not lower than the first end point. The acting point is located between the first end point and the first restraining point. Furthermore, the first restraining point is located between the acting point and the first nip point.
