A sheet transport device includes a transport guide for guiding, along its transport surface, a sheet in a transport direction, a first transport roller pair, a second transport roller pair, a skew roller pair, a reference wall, and an actuator. The skew roller pair alone transports, in a skewed manner toward an end of the transport surface in a width direction orthogonal to the transport direction, the sheet spaced from the first transport roller and the second transport roller. The reference wall is positioned at the end of the transport surface in the width direction and extends along the transport direction. The actuator is disposed downstream of the skew roller pair and upstream of the second transport roller pair in the transport direction and between the end and a center of the transport surface in the width direction.

A recording apparatus includes a sheet feeding device including a sheet feed tray on which a medium is mounted in an inclined orientation, a feeding roller configured to feed the medium, and a sheet feed slot that is defined by the sheet feed tray and the feeding roller i, and a recording section configured to perform recording onto the medium fed from the sheet feeding device. The recording apparatus includes a scanner unit that is disposed on a body of the recording apparatus and functions as a reading device for reading a document, and a guiding member that is inclined from a side surface of a guiding member installation section that is a side surface of the scanner unit on a sheet feed tray side in a state in which the scanner unit is closed with respect to the body of the recording apparatus.

A tape applicator configured for applying a tape to a carton (e.g., for sealing and/or assembling the carton). The tape applicator may include an edge folder assembly having an edge folder roller operatively coupled to a support member that allows the edge folder roller to rotate around the support member. The edge folder assembly may also include an alignment assembly (e.g., a self-alignment assembly) that allows the edge folder roller to move axially along the support member. The alignment assembly may comprise one or more biasing members (e.g., springs, or the like) and/or one or more restraining members (e.g., washers, or the like) to aid in allowing the edge folder roller to rotate and/or move axially with respect to the one or more support members in order to account for shifting of the tape transversely through the tape applicator.

According to an example, a media roll support may comprise a sliding element movable along a guide, a hub to receive the media roll and a coupling plate. The hub may comprise an elastic element biased towards a first side of the media roll. The coupling plate may be attached to the hub and to the sliding element. Upon holding the media roll, a deformation of the elastic element may tilt the sliding element. The tilting of the sliding element may lock the sliding element movement, thereby preventing its movement.

A recording material processing apparatus includes a guide shaft of which an axial direction extends in a recording material width direction intersecting a discharge direction of a recording material, and an alignment unit that moves along the guide shaft, in which the alignment unit includes a bearing portion that is movably fitted onto the guide shaft, an alignment portion that is provided to be exposed at an outer side in the discharge direction and comes into contact with an end surface of the recording material that is parallel to the discharge direction from an outer side of the recording material to align a position of the end surface, an arm portion that connects the bearing portion and the alignment portion to each other, and a protruding portion that protrudes from a surface of the arm portion to a position outside the recording material in the axial direction of the guide shaft and comes into contact with a surface of a device main body, which is parallel to the discharge direction, in a case where an external force is applied to the alignment unit with the alignment unit being at a position close to the surface.

A conveyor includes: a receiver that detachably receives a roll-like sheet; a conveyance unit that conveys the sheet in a conveyance orientation along a conveyance surface; and a tensioner that applies tension to the sheet at a position upstream of the conveyance unit in the conveyance orientation. The tensioner includes: a frame having a groove pair extending in a first direction along the conveyance orientation; a guide having a curved surface that contacts the sheet and an engagement member pair that engages with the groove pair; a pivoting member that pivots around an axis extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and parallel to the conveyance surface; a transmission member that transmits pivoting of the pivoting member to the guide; and an urging member that applies urging force including a component in the first direction to the guide.

A sheet conveying device includes a support configured to move between a storage position and a full open position and including a pair of rollers, a plurality of contact bodies, and a switching unit. The switching unit switches the pair of rollers in response to contact of the plurality of contact target bodies included in the switching unit, with the plurality of contact bodies. The plurality of contact bodies includes a first contact body closer to the storage position than the plurality of contact target bodies with the support at the full open position and closer to the full open position with the support at the storage position, and a second contact body closer to the storage position than a part of the plurality of contact target bodies with the support at a halfway position and closer to the full open position with the support at the storage position.

A film winding system is disclosed having a first winding station which is configured in a winding position to wind the film web into a film bale. A contact roller and a compensating roller are provided, wherein the contact roller is arranged adjacent to the first winding station in the winding position and is configured to guide the film web to the first winding station. The compensating roller is located before the contact roller in the direction of travel of the film web and is configured to guide the film web to the contact roller and to set a film tension. A first adjustment device is provided and configured to move the contact roller towards the winding station or away from the winding station, thereby enabling the setting of a specific contact pressure between the contact roller and the film bale. The first adjustment device comprises a slide system or an adjusting spindle.

A working table for a reel-to-reel process includes: a supply reel configured to supply a workpiece; a collection reel configured to collect the workpiece after the workpiece is processed; a base on which the supply reel and the collection reel are installed; a processing workbench installed on the base to process the workpiece thereon; at least one balance adjuster installed on the base and configured to be moved according to weight variations of the supply reel and the collection reel; a balance drive unit configured to drive the at least one balance adjuster; and a controller configured to control the balance drive unit.

Provided is an automatic coiled material switching device, which comprises a machine table (8), a left unwinding device (81), a right unwinding device (82) and a rotatory cutting device (83); wherein the machine table is provided with a left auxiliary roller (84), a right auxiliary roller (85) and a plurality of fixed rollers; the rotary cutting device comprises a bearing seat (1), a bearing (11) arranged on the bearing seat, a rotating main body (2) arranged on the bearing, a rotating mechanism for driving the rotating main body to rotate on the bearing seat, a turning mechanism for driving the bearing seat to turn around, and a driving mechanism; the rotating main body comprises an upper part (21) and a lower part (22); a gap (23) for allowing a material to pass through is formed between the upper part and the lower part; and the rotating body is provided with a pressing mechanism for compressing the material and a cutting mechanism for cutting the material. The automatic coiled material switching device implements the automatic switching of material belts of the left unwinding device and the right unwinding device by arranging the rotating main body, rotating mechanism, the turning mechanism, the driving mechanism, the pressing mechanism and the cutting mechanism.
