One side of the workbench is fixedly provided with a first electric motor, and an output end of the first electric motor is fixedly connected to one of the connecting rods. Belt pulleys are fixedly arranged outside the two connecting rods in a sleeving manner, and a belt is arranged outside the two belt pulleys in a sleeving manner. A hollow roller is arranged on an inner side of the workbench, and a plurality of exhaust holes are provided in a top of the hollow roller.

The image forming apparatus includes a feeding unit, a detection unit provided downstream of the feeding unit, a measurement unit that measures a measured time from the start of conveyance of a recording material to the detection of the recording material, and a determination unit that performs renewal determination for determining whether the feeding unit has been replaced with a new unit. Thus, replacement of the feeding unit with a new unit can automatically be detected.

A ground thawing hose cleaning reel guide assembly cleans a ground thawing hose as the hose is reeled back onto a reel within a vehicle. The assembly includes a hose guide coupled to a frame such that the hose guide is movable between opposite ends of the frame. The hose guide has an interior edge defining an aperture extending through the hose guide. A sheet is coupled to the hose guide extending over the aperture. A channel extends into the sheet. The channel is configured to receive a hose within the channel whereby the sheet is configured to scrape debris from the hose as the hose is moved through the hose guide.

A sheet conveyer, including a first guide with a guide surface, a second guide arranged on a side of the guide surface toward one end in a widthwise direction, a first roller arranged upstream in a conveying direction from the second guide to rotate about a first axis extending in parallel with the widthwise direction, a second roller arranged downstream in the conveying direction from the first roller to rotate about a second axis inclined with respect to the widthwise direction, and a third roller arranged downstream in the conveying direction from the second roller at a position on a side of the guide surface toward the other end in the widthwise direction outside a widthwise length of the sheet, is provided. The third roller is configured to rotate about a third axis inclined with respect to the widthwise direction.

A electric vehicle cable mounting system includes a driving unit including a rotary disc and allowing a charging cable to be released from a side in accordance with a rotation motion of a rotary disc, a guide unit provided behind the driving unit and allowing the driving unit to move in a vertical direction in accordance with a rotation motion of the rotary disc, and a controller controlling the driving unit and the guide unit such that the charging cable is automatically released in an electric vehicle charge mode and is automatically returned in an electric vehicle charge standby mode.

A printing apparatus configured to print a label image on a medium, the medium on which the label image is printed including: a first end which is an upstream end of a tail region in a conveyance direction that is one of first printing regions in which one first character is lastly printed; and a second end which is an upstream end of a tail character in the conveyance direction that is the most upstream one of second characters printed in a second printing region, and wherein a controller is configured to cause a cutter to cut the medium at a first cutting target position located upstream of the first end when the first end is located more upstream than the second end and at a second cutting target position located upstream of the second end when the second end is located more upstream than the first end.

In a manufacturing process of a battery or a circuit board, or a printing process, there is a case where a long sheet material is conveyed from an unwinding unit to a winding unit. One object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique capable of preventing the long sheet material from being rubbed by a roller when the material is conveyed. The present disclosure relates to a conveyor adapted for a battery manufacturing process. The conveyor comprises a roller configured to convey a long sheet material, a shaft through the roller; a bearing installed between the roller and the shaft, and a driver configured to rotate the shaft in the same direction as a rotating direction of the roller conveying the long sheet material.

A sheet feeding device feeds a sheet in a feed direction. The sheet feeding device includes a loading portion, a feeler, and a first detection sensor. The sheet is to be placed on the loading portion. The feeler rotates from a reference position to a pushed position around a support shaft in response to a push by a downstream end of the sheet, which is placed on the loading portion, in the feeding direction. The first detection sensor detects a rotation of the feeler from one of the reference position and the pushed position to the other of the reference position and the pushed position. The loading portion includes a second detection sensor to detect a state in which the sheet is placed on the loading portion.

A reel spooling device includes a reel adapted to store a spooled length of hose or conduit and a lead screw mechanically coupled to the reel and configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis when the reel rotates. A guide cartridge is seated on the lead screw and configured to reciprocate between opposing first and second ends of said lead screw. The guide cartridge includes a first pair of rollers which are spaced relative to each other and rotatable about first and second axes, defining a first restriction. A second pair of rollers are spaced relative to each other and rotatable about third and fourth axes, defining a second restriction. The first, second, third and fourth axes are each generally parallel, and the first and second restrictions are separated relative to a longitudinal direction in which the hose or conduit passes through the guide cartridge.

A sheet feed roller (1) is provided, which is formed of an elastomer composition containing a thermoplastic elastomer, a spherical filler and a low friction silicone compound, and has a friction coefficient of not greater than 0.5. A production method is also provided, which includes the step of extruding the elastomer composition through a die configured as corresponding to a sectional shape of the sheet feed roller.
