A single sheet handling device (14a to 14d, 30, 200, 252, 270, 350) for the input and the output of rectangular single sheets (38) respectively into and out of a container (12a to 12d). These rectangular single sheets can in particular be banknotes (38). The single sheet handling device (14a to 14d, 30, 200, 252, 270, 350) has a feeding device with feeding elements for the sheet-by-sheet feeding of single sheets (38) and for storing these single sheets (38) in a stack (36) of single sheets in the container (12a to 12d). Further, the single sheet handling device has a separating device with separating elements for the sheet-by-sheet removal of single sheets (38) of the stack (36) from the container (12a to 12d). The feeding elements and the separating elements are arranged separately from the container (12a to 12d).

A first sheet product 1 is gripped between an additional conveyor 2 and a feeding conveyor 3 at a downstream end of the additional conveyor 2. Subsequently, subsequent sheet products 1 are moved back by the feeding conveyor 3 to be separated from the first sheet product 1. Subsequently, the first sheet product 1 is supplied by the additional conveyor 2.

The present disclosure provides a transmission assembly and an office machine comprising the same. The transmission assembly includes a body, a first roller, a second roller, a flexible element, a third roller and a transmission element. The first roller is pivoted at a first position of the body, the second roller is pivoted at a second position of the body, one end of the flexible element connects to the body, the third roller is pivoted besides the first roller in parallel and rotates with the first roller simultaneously, and a transmission element is used to surround axes of the first roller and the second roller; wherein, the rotating directions of the first roller, the second roller, the third roller and the transmission element are the same. The present disclosure provides another office machine using the same.

For forming profile elements, in particular trapezoidal or -shaped profile elements, from a multilayer stacking of pre-impregnated fibers, the stacking is moved in feed direction with feed speed by sets of conveyor belts which engage with the upper and lower surfaces of the lateral edge sections of the stacking and hold the edge sections in a starting plane. The sets of conveyor belts are arranged so that the distance between the sets engaging with opposite edge sections decreases in feed direction. To conduct the forming step a middle portion of the stacking is moved over a ramp upwardly inclined in feed direction with respect to the starting plane.

The medium conveying device, comprises (1) a feeder configured to feed a print medium in a conveyance direction; (2) a stacker configured to stack the print medium fed by the feeder; (3) a first guide arranged in downstream side of the print medium in the conveyance direction, the first guide including a first guide surface configured to guide a downstream edge of the print medium stacked on the stacker; and (4) a second guide arranged to be movable with respect to the first guide, the second guide including a second guide surface configured to guide the downstream edge of the print medium stacked on the stacker, wherein the second guide configured to move with respect to the first guide such that the second guide surface protrudes with respect to the first guide surface in an upstream direction as the stacked amount of the print medium stacked on the stacker decreases.

A mail hazard screening machine is configured to compress mail pieces or envelops through compression rollers and draw out this air and any hazard that may have been contained in the envelope. The system may be able to detect a wide range of hazards such as chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear, explosive and drugs, abbreviated CBRNE+D. The sample air, the air drawn out from the hazard screening system, may be directed to one or more analysis devices and the mail processing machine may be stopped if any hazard is detected. The mail piece containing the hazard can then be found and further inspected safely.

A mail feeder system may be configured to deliver mail pieces to the hazard screening system without compression of the mail pieces or envelopes

A mail processing system utilizes a conveyor to shingle or de-shingle mailpieces as they move through the processing system and utilizes belts to move the mailpieces. A first shingling conveyor moves a first mailpiece to overlap with a second mailpiece to create shingled mailpieces. A second shingling conveyor moves a first mailpiece away from a second mailpiece to de-shingle them to create singulated mailpieces. A camera takes images of the mailpieces in the conveyor and image analysis software is used to determine dimensional aspects of the mailpieces that are used to control the belt speeds to move mailpieces with respect to each other. A mail processing system may include a mail processing station that scans addresses, applies postage and/or weighs the mailpieces. Mail may be de-shingled prior to being weighed and then re-shingled for subsequent processing, or mail may shingled prior to passing through a scale if weighing is not necessary.
