A foil transfer device having a reduced size is provided. The foil transfer device includes an adhesive application mechanism that applies an adhesive to a medium, and a transfer roller pair that presses a foil transfer sheet against the medium to which the adhesive is applied to transfer the foil to the medium. The adhesive application mechanism includes a head that ejects an adhesive onto the medium, and a platen that is disposed on the lower side of the head and on which the medium is mounted. In the foil transfer device, the transfer roller pair is disposed on the lower side of the platen.

The invention provides a sheet storage apparatus and a printing apparatus, which include simplified mechanisms for supporting a sheet and for guiding the sheet. A sheet storage device that can store a sheet discharged from a discharge port of a printing apparatus includes: multiple flappers provided below the discharge port and arranged in a width direction of the sheet, each flapper being rotatable between a first posture in which the sheet discharged from the discharge port is guided downward in a gravitational direction by using a first surface, and a second posture in which the sheet is supported by using a second surface being different from the first surface; and a connecting unit which connects the plurality of flappers to one another.

Provided is an apparatus with automatic belt tensioning. A winding seat includes a first gear and a winding portion fixed at the first gear. A belt is windable around the winding portion, and the first elastic element is connected with the winding portion thus to wind the belt around the winding portion. A rotation preventing element includes a protrusion. When the protrusion retains the first gear, the winding portion is locked to prevent the belt being wound. When the belt is pulled, it drives the protrusion to be separated from the first gear and drives the winding portion to rotate. When the belt is released and the winding speed of the belt is decreased to a certain degree, the protrusion retains the first gear to prevent the belt being wound.

To provide a medicine inspection system capable of appropriately outputting an inspection result while minimizing damage and the like to a packaging bag and a medicine.

A medicine inspection system 10 includes an inspection device 20 which inspects a numerical quantity and/or a type of a medicine contained in a packaging bag p based on an image photographed of the packaging bag p to be inspected, and a marking device 50 which records an inspection result from the inspection device on the packaging bag p. After the packaging bag p, which has a seal section S formed by pressure bonding an overlapping portion of a packaging paper, is inspected at the inspection device 20, a stamp which indicates the inspection result thereof is output by a marking device 50 onto the seal section S.

A part detecting device of a carrier tape includes a transporting passage, a part detector, and a biasing mechanism that presses the part detector against the carrier tape inside the transporting passage. The carrier tape is transported to the transporting passage. The part detector detects parts stored in storages which are formed on the carrier tape passing through the transporting passage at regular intervals.

An improved method and apparatus for the interleaf winding of materials, especially adhesive, sticky, or tacky materials, which method involves maintaining a tension in the liner material at the point where it is mated with the material being wound.

Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of obtaining a high deviation prevention capability while suppressing adhesion of paste to a side regulating member. A plurality of roller members, for example, an upstream side roller member 91 and a downstream side roller member 92 are disposed along a sheet conveyance direction in which a recording sheet is conveyed. Then, first side regulating members 94A and 94B are provided at both end parts of the upstream side roller member 91 in a fixed state, and also second side regulating members 95A and 95B are provided at both end parts of the downstream side roller member 92 in a rotatable state. The first side regulating members 94A and 94B and the second side regulating members 95A and 95B regulate the deviation of a roll sheet S by the contact with the edge parts of the roll sheet S.

A label winding device is for receiving a medium including a label liner and a label member that is removably attached to the label liner and has at least one label portion and a waste portion, separating the waste portion from the label liner at a waste separation portion, and winding the at least one label portion with the label liner. The label winding device includes: a waste winder for winding the separated waste portion; a label winder for winding the at least one label portion with the label liner without the separated waste portion; a waste guide for guiding the separated waste portion to the waste winder; a support for rotatably supporting the waste guide; a sensor for detecting a rotational speed of the waste guide; and a waste break detector for detecting break of the waste portion on a basis of the detection by the sensor.
