A conveying apparatus, including: a main body unit including a conveyor mechanism, a first tray to receive a medium conveyed through a first conveyance path, and a switcher to switch a destination of the medium; an intermediate unit removably mountable on the upper surface of the main body unit and including a first introduction opening formed in its lower surface and at least one conveyance roller for conveying the medium through a second conveyance path and discharging the medium from a second discharge opening formed in its upper surface; and a tray unit removably mountable on the upper surface of the intermediate unit and including a second introduction opening formed in its lower surface and at least one second tray to receive the medium conveyed through a third conveyance path, the intermediate unit having a length in a height direction smaller than that of the tray unit in the direction.

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.

A sheet feeding device includes a sheet tray, a guide, and a retracting mechanism. The sheet tray is insertable into and removable from a body of an apparatus, and has an engagement pin that protrudes in a protruding direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the sheet tray. The engagement pin is movable in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to both the insertion direction of the sheet tray and the protruding direction of the engagement pin and is held by the sheet tray in a non-fixed manner. The guide extends in the insertion direction of the sheet tray to guide the engagement pin when the sheet tray is inserted into the body of the apparatus. The retracting mechanism retracts the engagement pin in an engaged state in the insertion direction of the sheet tray toward a specified position in the guide.

An apparatus for loading and unloading a roll includes a roll support portion disposed adjacent to a roll unwinder; a first traveling rail disposed on one side of the roll unwinder; a moving frame movably installed on the first traveling rail; and a roll attaching and detaching unit movably installed on the moving frame, wherein the roll support portion includes a lifting unit configured to move up and down a disposed roll, and wherein the roll attaching and detaching unit includes a moving plate moving on the moving frame, and a main body portion rotatably installed on the moving plate.

A recording system includes a printer, a post-processing apparatus, and a first support to be mounted on a floor outside a mounting area of the printer. The printer includes a manual feed tray and an opening/closing portion each configured to be moved outward from a body of the printer to enable a process. The post-processing apparatus is located, in a Z direction, above the manual feed tray and the opening/closing portion that were moved. The first support supports the post-processing apparatus and forms a space in which the manual feed tray and the opening/closing portion are moved.

A tensioning device is designed to reduce the size of an opening on an underlying device or garment. The tensioning device includes a knob, a spool to receive a tensioning element, and a housing having an annular wall extending from a base configured to receive the spool. The tensioning device includes the first locking profile designed to interlock with a second locking profile of the tensioning device for restricting rotation of the knob relative to the housing and maintaining tension in the tensioning element under load.

A winch system for tightening and tensioning barrier cables for cable barrier systems includes a fairlead vertically movable with respect to the winch assembly. The winch system is connected to a base frame that can be attached to a vehicle for moving and for providing power to the winch and movement of the fairlead. The vertically movable fairlead allows each barrier cable to be positioned and tensioned while supported by the post of the cable barrier system to avoid damage to the posts and negatively impacting the operational strength of the cable barrier system.
