An image forming apparatus includes a cutting part cutting a medium, a transfer part arranged on a downstream side of the cutting part in a carrying direction and transfers a developer image to the medium; a flexure forming part having a guide part and forms a flexure of the medium by bending the medium between the cutting part and the transfer part in the carrying direction; and an opposing part that is arranged opposing the flexure forming part via a carrying path through which the medium is carried, wherein the guide part performs a retreat movement either before or after the cutting part starts to cut the medium, wherein the retreat movement is a movement of the guide part in which the guide part moves in a direction away from the opposing part.

The present disclosure is in one aspect to a dispenser for rolled sheet materials. The dispenser includes a feed roller that is rotatably mounted to a housing of the dispenser housing, and that is configured to feed a predetermined amount of sheet material from the supply of sheet material through a discharge provided along the housing of the dispenser. The dispenser also has a feed roller drive assembly with a drive motor, and a belt transmission assembly. The belt transmission assembly has a drive belt coupled to the drive motor and to the feed roller such that rotation of the feed roller is driven by operation of the drive motor.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet processing unit, a sheet feeder, and a unit cover. The sheet processing unit inserts an inner sheet into a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlapped and bonded together at one ends as a bonding portion. The sheet feeder is disposed above the sheet processing unit and is movable to open to expose the sheet processing unit. The sheet feeder feeds one of the two-ply sheet and the inner sheet. The unit cover is disposed above the sheet processing unit and opens to expose the sheet processing unit.

An image recording apparatus includes: a feed tray; a feed roller configured to feed a sheet medium accommodated in the feed tray; and a recording unit. The feed tray includes: a first accommodating part configured to accommodate a rolled body formed by rolling the sheet medium; a second accommodating part configured to accommodate a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, each of the sheet media being the sheet medium; a contact surface configured to contact, from below, the sheet medium unrolled from the rolled body accommodated in the first accommodating part; and a support member having a support surface configured to support the sheet media accommodated in the second accommodating part. The feed roller is movable between a contact position at which the feed roller contacts the contact surface and a separation position at which the feed roller is away from the contact surface.

The present disclosure is in one aspect to a dispenser for rolled sheet materials. The dispenser includes a feed roller that is rotatably mounted to a housing of the dispenser housing, and that is configured to feed a predetermined amount of sheet material from the supply of sheet material through a discharge provided along the housing of the dispenser. The dispenser also has a feed roller drive assembly with a drive motor, and a belt transmission assembly. The belt transmission assembly has a drive belt coupled to the drive motor and to the feed roller such that rotation of the feed roller is driven by operation of the drive motor.

An image forming apparatus includes a discharging tray for supporting a sheet, an operation panel and a supporting member. The sheet is discharged toward a sheet discharging direction that is a direction toward which the sheet is discharged. The operation panel is located at a position which is different from the position of the discharging tray in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet discharging direction and above the discharging tray. The supporting member is disposed at the discharging tray and capable of supporting the discharged sheet with the discharging tray. A front end portion of the supporting member is located above an upper surface of the discharging tray. At least a part of the front end portion of the supporting member overlaps the operation panel when viewed in the width direction.

A cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) end cap internal roller apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus can include a housing having an opening, wherein the housing can further include an interior space. In addition, the apparatus can include a roller assembly, wherein the roller assembly is at least partially disposed within the interior space of the housing and at least partially disposed through the opening of the housing. Further, the apparatus may include a grommet seal coupled to an upper region or side region of the housing, wherein the seal includes an opening. Further, the opening of the grommet seal may be at least partially aligned with the roller assembly. The roller assembly may further include a plurality of rollers or rotatable members secured between a first bracket and a second bracket, wherein the first bracket and second bracket each include an at least partial arcuate configuration.

A medium discharging apparatus includes a first tray in which a medium is received and placed, a second tray in which the medium discharged from the first tray is received, a discharging mechanism, a curl suppressing member, a link mechanism, a movement mechanism and a cam mechanism. The discharging mechanism discharges the medium from the first tray toward the second tray. The curl suppressing member suppresses curling of the medium discharged from the first tray to the second tray by the discharging mechanism. The curl suppressing member is provided in the link mechanism. The movement mechanism is configured to move the link mechanism and the curl suppressing member in both the discharge direction and a return direction opposite to the discharge direction. The cam mechanism guides movement of the link mechanism.

A printer includes: a conveyor that conveys a printing medium; a printing device that prints an image; a roller provided downstream of the printing device in a conveying direction; an opposed member opposed to the roller; a motor; a coupling mechanism that power-transmittably couples the motor and the roller to each other and rotates the roller in a first direction during driving of the motor, the first direction being a rotational direction for conveying the printing medium downstream in the conveying direction; and a moving mechanism that moves the roller between (i) a first position at which the roller is power-transmittably coupled to the motor by the coupling mechanism, and the printing medium is nipped by the roller and the opposed member and (ii) a second position at which the roller is power-transmittably coupled to the motor by the coupling mechanism and separated from the printing medium.
