A drive transferring unit includes a first roller, a second roller, a first clutch, a second clutch, a transferring section, and a control section. The first roller includes a first shaft section. The second roller includes a second shaft section. The first clutch switches between enabling transfer of a driving force to the first shaft section and interrupting transfer thereof. The second clutch switches between enabling transfer of the driving force to the second shaft section and interrupting transfer thereof. The transferring section transfers the driving force from one of the first roller and the second roller to the other. The control section selects between first control in which the first clutch is in the on state and the second clutch is in the off state and second control in which the second clutch is in the on state and the first clutch is in the off state.

A medium processing apparatus includes a conveyor, a tray, a binder, a mover, and a switcher. The switcher includes a first passage, a second passage, and a movable wall. The movable wall guides a guided portion of the binder to the second passage when the guided portion moving along the first passage from an end side to a center side contacts the movable wall; causes the guided portion to pass when the guided portion moving along the second passage from the end side to the center side contacts the movable wall; guides the guided portion to the first passage when the guided portion moving along the second passage from the center side to the end side contacts the movable wall; and causes the guided portion to pass when the guided portion moving along the first passage from the center side to the end side contacts the movable wall.

A spinning reel includes a reel body, a rotor, a spool shaft, and a drive body. The drive body has a shaft, a first gear disposed on the shaft for rotating the rotor, and a second gear disposed on the shaft for moving the spool shaft. The shaft, the first gear, and the second gear are integrally formed by forging. The first gear includes a first disk part disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft, and a first tooth part protruding axially from the first disk part. The second gear includes a second disk part disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft to be spaced apart from the first disk part, and a second tooth part protruding from the second disk part radially away from an axis of the shaft. The second tooth part has a tip diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the first tooth part.

An article of footwear, motorized lacing system, and method includes a motor, a transmission, operatively coupled to the motor, a power source, operatively coupled to the motor, a lace spool, operatively coupled to the motor via the transmission, configured to spool and unspool the lace based on operation of the motor, a printed circuit board, and a housing. The housing contains the motor, the transmission, the power source, the lace spool and the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board positioned between an interior surface of the housing and at least one of the power source and the motor, wherein the interior surface includes a post that extends through a hole formed in the printed circuit board. A flexing of the interior surface causes force on the housing to be at least partially imparted on the at least one of the power source, the transmission, and the motor.

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 motorized reel apparatus suitable for endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) is presented. The present invention attaches to any suitable corresponding biopsy needle stylus. The motorized reel apparatus contains a reel housing, a spool drum, a spool spindle, a motor, and a controller. The reel housing contains wire outlet aperture. The wire outlet aperture traverses through the reel housing. The spool drum is connected within the reel housing. The spool spindle operatively engages along the spool drum, where the spool spindle can dispense a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture. The motor is rotatably engaged to the spool spindle. The controller is electrically connected to the motor, where the controller is configured to retract or deploy a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture.

A sheet conveying apparatus may comprise a first conveying roller configured to convey a sheet and a second conveying roller disposed on a downstream side of the first conveying roller in a conveyance direction of the sheet. In a case where the second conveying roller rotates at a first speed by a driving force being transmitted to the second conveying roller, the first conveying roller rotates by being driven with respect to the second conveying roller. In a case where the second conveying roller rotates at a second speed faster than the first speed by the driving force being transmitted to the second conveying roller, the first conveying roller rotates at the second speed.

A document feeder constituting an image forming apparatus includes a paper feeder to supply a document to a document transport path, a first transporter to transport the document toward image reading positions, and a second transporter to transport the document toward the document discharging tray while supplying the document to the image reading positions. Furthermore, the document feeder includes a motor provided on the first frame, a first driver provided on the first frame and to transmit driving force generated by the motor to the paper feeder and the first transporter, a second driver provided on the second frame and to transmit the driving force generated by the motor to the second transporter, and a second driver to transmit the driving force generated by the motor to the second transporter, and a relay transmission member to transmit the driving force generated by the motor to the second driver.

An image forming apparatus including a housing, a sheet cassette, a second roller, a gear train, a pendulum gear, and a stop member. The gear train includes a gear rotatable together with the second roller. The pendulum gear is movable between a meshing position where the pendulum gear is in meshing engagement with the gear train and a separated position where the pendulum gear is separated away from the gear train. The stop member allows the pendulum gear to move from the separated position to the meshing position. In the state where the sheet cassette is at an internal position and the stop member is at the second position, the stop member is out of contact with a part of the sheet cassette in a first direction but contacts the part of the sheet cassette in a second direction.
