A sheet post-processing apparatus that performs post-processing on a sheet on which an image is formed includes: a punch hole forming portion; and a sheet bundle forming portion that has a conveyance portion, stops a first sheet on a conveyance path, and conveys a second sheet after the first sheet to a position overlapping the first sheet to form a sheet bundle. The sheet post-processing apparatus includes a shift portion to make a shift so that a relative position between the first sheet and the second sheet in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction becomes a relative position at which the second sheet does not overlap a punch hole of the first sheet to make the second sheet overlap the first sheet, and forms a sheet bundle in which sheets overlapped with each other are deviated in a width direction.

A method for manufacturing structural rods to make it easier to manufacture a structural rod for an aircraft and to improve performance. Each rod includes a rod body and two end portions disposed at either end of the rod body along a longitudinal central rod axis, each end portion comprising at least one mounting lug that protrudes from the rod body along the longitudinal axis. The method includes producing a sandwich panel including two skins gripping a cellular inner body, at least one of the two outer skins having a skin extension for forming a part of the at least one mounting lug of at least one of the two end portions of the rod, and cutting the panel along parallel cutting lines to obtain the structural rods.

A lottery ticket dispensing system includes a cabinet housing and a lottery ticket array insertable into the cabinet housing. The array includes a plurality of individual bins in a stacked configuration. A dispensing unit is inserted into each of the bins and includes a ticket compartment in which a continuous strip of lottery tickets is contained and an automatic separation module in which a leading ticket of the continuous strip of lottery tickets is automatically separated and dispensed from the bin. The bins are connected together in the stacked configuration such that the lottery ticket array is insertable into and removable from the cabinet housing as a single unit. The stacked configuration has opposite sides defined by the sides of the bins. At least one first component of a detachable support system is attached to the opposite sides of the stacked configuration, the first component cooperating with a second component of the detachable support system provided on inner side walls of the cabinet housing.

A printing device includes: an image recording unit configured to record an image on a printing medium; a cutter unit configured to cut the printing medium on which the image is recorded by the image recording unit; and a medium receiving unit configured to receive the printing medium on which the image is recorded by the image recording unit. The cutter unit is positioned frontward of the image recording unit in a frontward direction. The medium receiving unit is positioned below the cutter unit at a time of an image recording operation and being detachable in the frontward direction.

An information processing apparatus includes a perforation processing setting unit configured to set whether to perform perforation processing of forming a perforation-shaped cut in a physical medium, a line setting unit configured to set whether to print a line at a position corresponding to a position of the perforation-shaped cut on the physical medium, and an instruction unit configured to instruct a printing apparatus to perform the perforation processing and to print the line based on the setting by the perforation processing setting unit and the setting by the line setting unit.

Provided are a placement table configured to place a medium onto which liquid is discharged, a perforation member configured to perform perforation by imparting a shear force to the medium placed at the placement table, a die hole provided at the placement table, a perforation member moving section configured to move the perforation member between a standby position above the die hole and a perforating position at which the perforation member enters the die hole, and a control unit configured to control operation of the perforation member moving section, wherein when the control unit obtains perforation failure information during perforating operation in which the perforation member starts moving from the standby position and moves through the perforating position to the standby position, the control unit is configured to control the perforation member moving section so that a shear force is again imparted to the medium.

A sticking device implements high-speed automatic processing of base-sheet-attached shrink-film packaging using a half-cut double-faced adhesive tape. A sticking device rolls a half-cut double-faced adhesive tape over a first sticking object that is transported on a conveyor device to stick the adhesive tape to the first sticking object and then places a second sticking object on the first sticking object and applies pressure to stick the first sticking object and the second sticking object together. The sticking device includes: a feeder device that feeds the first sticking object; a conveyor device; an adhesive-tape sticking device that has a roll body attaching part for rotatably supporting a half-cut double-faced adhesive tape with a peel-off liner, a rotary-sticking roll pressure part, and a peel-off liner collecting part; and a second sticking object sticking device that places a second sticking object on the sticking portion of the first sticking object and applies pressure.

The problem addressed by the invention is that of ensuring simple handling in the case of a device for unrolling and cutting off a strip (2) on a strip roll (3), said device having a main body (4), wherein the main body (4) has: a top side (5), having a tear-off blade (9), a gap (12), a storage plate (13) for storing the strip (2), and a roller (22); two lateral guiding surfaces (6, 7); and an underside (8). This problem is solved in that the storage plate (13) can be lateral pivoted or the roller (22) arranged after the gap (12) as viewed against the unrolling direction (11) can be inserted and locked in order to store the strip (2), wherein the storage plate (13) or the roller (22) forms the gap (12) in the end position thereof together with a rear edge (14) of the top side (5).

A sheet processing apparatus includes: a punching unit configured to punch a sheet conveyed; a movement unit configured to cause the punching unit to move in a direction intersecting with a conveyance direction of the sheet; a detection unit configured to detect a first conveyance position which is a position in a width direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the sheet; and a control unit configured to obtain size information of the sheet, determine, based on the size information, a second conveyance position in the width direction when the sheet is conveyed, and by comparing the first conveyance position and the second conveyance position, control whether or not to execute an avoidance process that causes the punching unit to move away from the sheet.
