Printer and computer readable memory
A printer includes a casing, a print mechanism disposed inside the casing, and a motor. A sheet cassette has an attached position in which the sheet cassette is supported by the casing and a separated position in which the sheet cassette is at least partially separated from the casing. The sheet cassette includes a movable sheet support plate configured to support a sheet stack including one or more sheets. An actuator, such as a clutch, has a transmission mode in which the drive force is allowed to be transmitted from the motor to the sheet support plate to move the sheet support plate, and an interruption mode in which the drive force is prevented from being transmitted from the motor to the sheet support plate. The actuator is configured to be selectively placed in one of the transmission mode and the interruption mode. A controller is configured to selectively place the actuator into the transmission mode and the interruption mode.

SHEET CONVEYING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A sheet conveying device includes a sheet feed tray with a first guide, a main body with a second guide, a guide member disposed at the sheet feed tray, and a contact portion located at the main body. The sheet feed tray is movable in a first direction. The guide member is movable between a protruding position and a withdrawn position. The guide member at the protruding position is disposed downstream of the first guide in a sheet conveyance direction and upstream of the second guide in the first direction such that the guide member overlaps the second guide in the first direction. The guide member at the withdrawn position does not overlap the second guide in the first direction. The contact portion is configured to, as the sheet feed tray moves from the main body, contact and move the guide member from the protruding position toward the withdrawn position.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING GLASS FILM
Provided is a method of manufacturing a glass film, including: a forming step of forming a band-shaped glass film (1); a conveyance direction changing step of changing a conveyance direction of the band-shaped glass film (1) from a vertically downward direction to a horizontal direction by conveying the band-shaped glass film (1) along a curved conveyance path (R1); and a horizontal conveyance step of conveying the band-shaped glass film (1) in the horizontal direction along a horizontal conveyance path (R2), wherein, when some sections of the band-shaped glass film (1) are to be discarded, the method involves: a separating step of separating a discard glass part (1x) from the band-shaped glass film (1) on the horizontal conveyance path (R2); and a discarding step of discarding the separated discard glass part (1x) by causing the discard glass part (1x) to leave the horizontal conveyance path (R2) downward.
SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING DISPLAY UNIT
Provided is a system for manufacturing a display unit, the system including: a carrying unit which carries an optical film including a polarizing film including an adhesive layer and a release film to which the polarizing film is bonded to be peeled off through the adhesive layer; a cutting unit which cuts the optical film by a predetermined depth, in which the release film is not cut, and forms a polarizing film sheet piece on the optical film; a peeling unit which peels the polarizing film sheet piece from the release film; and an attachment unit which attaches the polarizing film sheet piece peeled from the release film to a panel, in which the attachment unit includes: a pair of attachment rolls which presses and attaches the polarizing film sheet piece onto one surface of the panel; and a magnetic force generating unit or a suction part, which suppresses an upper attachment roll positioned at an upper side between the pair of attachment rolls from sagging by using magnetic force or suction.
Mount apparatus to be mounted on main body of image forming apparatus, and image forming apparatus including mount apparatus
A mount apparatus to be mounted on a top surface, in a vertical direction, of a main body of an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet, includes a latch member extending toward the main body from a surface facing the top surface of the main body and being rotatable around a rotational axis extending in a direction along a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction, and a biasing member configured to bias the latch member in a predetermined rotation direction. The latch member is inserted into the main body through an opening that is provided on the top surface of the main body and is engaged with the main body by a biasing force of the biasing member in a state where the mount apparatus is mounted on the main body.

Disinfecting wipes dispenser
Wipes dispensers for dispensing interconnected wipes. An exemplary wipes dispenser may include a container body and a removable lid forming an interior region into which a plurality of interconnected wipes may be disposed. Pulling on a lead end of a lead wipe causes a following wipe to also be pulled and follow the lead wipe. The removable lid may cover at least a portion of the container aperture. A landing member in the lid covers at least a portion of the container aperture by extending from a top rim of the container body toward the middle of the interior region. A gripping channel may be provided through the landing member, through which the lead end of the lead wipe may be threaded. The landing member may include a concavely shaped portion. The landing member may include a thickened portion, e.g., surrounding the gripping channel.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED FIXATION OF FLATS SEQUENCING SYSTEM LINEAR ACTUATOR
A system of mitigating force in a mechanical system, the system comprising a frame member, a first rail connected to the frame member, a second rail connected to the frame member and extending along the frame member in parallel to the first rail, an assembly movably engaging the first and second rails, and a first bracket located between the first and second rails, with at least one first bracket attachment secured to the frame member, the first bracket sharing an upper edge with a lower edge of the first rail, such that a downward force applied on the first rail is distributed to the first bracket and the frame member via the at least one first bracket attachment.
