An article of footwear, method, and motorized lacing system includes a motor, including a motor shaft, a spool, coupled to the motor shaft, configured to spool and unspool the lace based on the turning of the motor shaft, a processor circuit, and a three-dimensional encoder. The three-dimensional encoder defines a major axis and has a surface having a tabs extending from a drum, an optical sensor, positioned within optical range of the cylindrical encoder, configured to output a signal to the processor circuit indicative of a detected one of the tabs, and a beam break, positioned between the three-dimensional encoder and the optical sensor, forming a pair of slits. The optical sensor is positioned to view the tabs through the pair of slits, wherein the processor circuit is configured to operate the motor based, at least in part, on the signal as received from the optical sensor.

One embodiment provides a power transmission structure of a media separation unit, the power transmission structure including a pickup pulley and a feed pulley that are provided at positions spaced apart at both sides; a media separation belt configured to travel along the pickup pulley and the feed pulley, grip and convey media, and have a slope that changes due to contact with a bill press configured to support the media and move upward or downward at a lower side of the pickup pulley; a motor configured to provide a driving force for the media separation belt to rotate in one direction or the other direction; at least one relay gear configured to transmit the driving force of the motor; a swing arm configured to swing in both direction within a predetermined angle range in conjunction with rotation of the relay gear; a swing gear configured to be connected to the swing arm and rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the relay gear to transmit power for the swing arm to swing; and a clutch gear configured to intermittently be coupled to or released from the swing gear according to a swing direction of the swing arm and configured to transmit power to the pickup pulley through a connection belt, whose slope changes in conjunction with a change in the slope of the media separation belt.

To prevent a support shaft from breaking during production and assembly. A transfer tool of the present invention is a transfer tool that allows a transfer tape fed out from a feed reel to be wound onto a take-up reel via a transfer head, and includes a rotation transmission means having a feed gear, a take-up gear, and an intermediate gear, that have a disc shape, and transmitting rotation of the feed reel to the take-up reel. The intermediate gear is rotatably supported by an intermediate support shaft, and the intermediate gear is provided with a stress relief means that relieves bending stress when the intermediate gear is attached to the intermediate support shaft.

A sheet storage device includes a lift plate, a push-up member, a first gear, a second gear which meshes with the first gear, a transmission mechanism which includes a third gear that meshes with the second gear and a turning restriction member. The first gear includes a support portion. The turning restriction member includes: an annular portion which is slidable on the outer circumferential surface of the support portion in a direction of rotation; and a protrusion portion which protrudes outward in a radial direction from the annular portion to be able to engage with the second gear. The protrusion portion has a shape such that the protrusion portion cannot pass through a gap between the second gear and the annular portion and is located, relative to the gap, on a downstream side in a direction of rotation of the second gear caused by the power of a motor.

A second right-side extension portion entirely overlaps with a first right-side extension portion in a stored state when viewed in a depth direction, and a second left-side extension portion entirely overlaps a first left-side extension portion in a stored state when viewed in the depth direction. Moreover, a right-side gear is provided so as to be located between a right-side first end portion and a right-side second end portion of the first right-side extension portion, and a left-side gear is provided so as to be located between a left-side first end portion and a left-side second end portion of the first left-side extension portion.

A mobile hose reel assembly (100) includes a housing (110). The housing (110) includes a first wall (112), a second wall (114) coupled with and disposed opposite to the first wall (112) and a handle portion (116) coupled with the first wall (112) and the second wall (114). The housing (110) further includes a hose reel module (120) housed within the housing (110). The hose reel module (120) includes a hose reel (122), a drive motor (124) operatively coupled to the hose reel (122) and a transmission mechanism (126) adapted to transmit the motion of the drive motor (124) to the hose reel (122). The mobile hose reel assembly (100) is characterized in that the hose reel module (120) is adapted to exhibit a rocking motion relative to the housing (110). Further, the drive motor (124) is selectively activated and deactivated based on the rocking motion of the hose reel module (120) relative to the housing (110).

A pipe stop and stored energy dampening apparatus comprising a main body, a plurality of rollers connected to the main body, a gear connected to a first roller of the plurality of rollers, a gear lever connected to the main body and adapted to engage with the gear, a gear handle connected to the gear lever, and a clamp connected to the main body. Methods related to dispensing pipe or conduit or hosing from a spool or other device on which a pipe or conduit is wound or otherwise stored, controlling stored energy of the pipe or conduit in preventing injuries, and eliminating wasted pipe or conduit.

Application devices for the application of web-shaped adhesive elements are disclosed and comprise a first reel receptacle configured such that an adhesive tape reel filled with a web-shaped adhesive element may be arranged rotatably in the first reel receptacle The application devices further comprise a rotatable pre-feed roller and a rotatable application roller, wherein a lateral surface of the application roller has a depression running along the circumferential direction, wherein a web-shaped adhesive element may be guided via the pre-feed roller to the application roller, wherein the application roller and the pre-feed roller are coupled to a first coupling mechanism such that rotation of the application roller brings about rotation of the pre-feed roller.
