The wire mesh dispenser (99) is especially suited for the preparation of stucco based structures in construction projects. The wire mesh dispenser (99) comprises of an upper structure (100), a lower structure (200), and a means to fasten shafts (400).
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes a cutting part cutting a medium, a transfer part arranged on a downstream side of the cutting part in a carrying direction and transfers a developer image to the medium; a flexure forming part having a guide part and forms a flexure of the medium by bending the medium between the cutting part and the transfer part in the carrying direction; and an opposing part that is arranged opposing the flexure forming part via a carrying path through which the medium is carried, wherein the guide part performs a retreat movement either before or after the cutting part starts to cut the medium, wherein the retreat movement is a movement of the guide part in which the guide part moves in a direction away from the opposing part.
SUPPORTING FRAME OF SHEET FEEDING DEVICE AND SHEET FEEDING DEVICE INCLUDING THE SUPPORTING FRAME
A supporting frame of a sheet feeding device includes a bottom plate, a first side plate fixed to the bottom plate, and a second side plate fixed to the bottom plate. The first side plate includes a supporting portion, a first bent and erected portion, and a second bent and erected portion. The supporting portion includes a swing center portion having a swing center of the first side plate when the first side plate is positionally adjusted relative to the second side plate. In a direction in which a bending edge line formed between the supporting portion and the first bent and erected portion extends, the swing center portion projects downward than a lower end portion of the first bent and erected portion and a lower end portion of the second bent and erected portion are and contacts the bottom plate.
Apparatus for supplying film
Disclosed is a film feeding apparatus including a turntable including a driving member and a rotation bar having a central part shaft-coupled to a rotating shaft of the driving member to be driven to rotate around the rotating shaft and driven to rotate to repeatedly perform an operation in which the rotation bar rotates by a predetermined reference angle through the driving member and is then stopped for a predetermined reference time, a film tray that is installed in a predetermined first operation region to position one of opposite ends of the rotation bar on the film tray in a state in which the rotation bar is stopped for the reference time and on which a plurality of films are located in multiple layers, gripping units coupled to the opposite ends of the rotation bar, respectively, to transfer the films along a predetermined circular trajectory around the rotating shaft by the rotation bar and provided to grip the films, and a film ejection unit that is installed in a predetermined second operation region to position a remaining end opposite to the one end of the opposite ends of the rotation bar in the film ejection unit in the state in which the rotation bar is stopped for the reference time and provided to eject the films to an outside, wherein, in the state in which the rotation bar is stopped for the reference time, a griping unit positioned in the first operation region among the gripping units grips a film from the film tray, and a gripping unit positioned in the second operation region among the gripping units releases a film that is pre-gripped from the film tray and transfers the film to the film ejection unit.
Roller, separation device, image reading apparatus, and recording apparatus
There is provided a roller including: a shaft, and an elastic body portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft, in which the elastic body portion includes a plurality of first recessed portions which are provided on one side of the roller in a shaft mounting direction at intervals in a circumferential direction of the roller and each have a bottom portion, and a plurality of second recessed portions which are provided on the other side of the roller in the shaft mounting direction at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller and each have a bottom portion, and in which each of the first recessed portions is positioned between the adjacent second recessed portions in the circumferential direction of the roller in the side view of the roller in the shaft mounting direction.
Roller, separation device, image reading apparatus, and recording apparatus
A roller includes a shaft, and an elastic body portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft, in which the elastic body portion includes an inner peripheral portion which becomes a shaft side, an outer peripheral portion which becomes an outer side with respect to the inner peripheral portion, a plurality of first connection portions which connect the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion, and a plurality of second connection portions which are provided in a space portion between the adjacent first connection portions and which partition the space portion into one side and the other side of the roller in the axial direction, and in which the first connection portion is inclined in the same direction in a peripheral direction with respect to a radial direction of the roller.
Sheet discharging device and image forming apparatus therewith
A sheet discharging device has a discharge roller pair and a sheet discharge tray arranged selectively either in a first position where the sheet discharge tray is stowed along a side surface of an apparatus main body or in a second position where the sheet discharge tray, swung downward from the first position, protrudes beyond the side surface. The sheet discharge tray has a hook member holding, with one of rotation shafts of the discharge roller pair acting as an engagement shaft, the sheet discharge tray in the first position by engaging with the engagement shaft. As a result of the discharge roller pair being rotated with the sheet discharge tray located in the first position, an engagement releasing member fixed to the engagement shaft releases the engagement of the hook member with the engagement shaft, and the sheet discharge tray moves to the second position.
Conveyance apparatus and image recording apparatus
There is provided a conveyance apparatus including: a main body including a drive source, and a conveyance portion to which a drive force is transmitted from the drive source; an equipped unit including a drive portion to which the drive force is transmitted from the drive source in the main body; a first gear provided in the main body and rotated by the drive force transmitted thereto from the drive force; a first gear holder provided swingably in the main body to support the first gear; a second gear provided in the equipped unit to transmit the drive force to the drive portion; a second gear holder provided swingably in the equipped unit to support the second gear; and a third gear supported by a connecting shaft connecting the first and second gear holders to engage respectively with the first and second gears.
Sheet tray and image forming apparatus
A sheet tray includes a first tray, a second tray, and a third tray. The second tray is configured to move between a stored position and an extended position, relative to the first tray. The third tray is pivotable about the pivot shaft between a first stowed position and a first extended position, relative to the second tray. One of the first tray and the third tray includes a columnar portion. The columnar portion protrudes toward the other of the first tray and the third tray in an area where, when the second tray is at the stored position and the third tray is at the first stowed position, the first tray overlaps the third tray in an orthogonal direction. The other includes a cutout shaped along a path where the columnar portion moves when the third tray moves from the first stowed position to the first extended position.
Sheet feed device and image forming apparatus
A sheet feed device comprises a main body section, a support section, a first link, a second link, an engagement mechanism, an energization section and a correcting section. The correcting section is movable in an approaching position at which the support section approaches the main body section against energization force of the energization section while being contactable with the second link in a direction in which the first link moves to a downstream side in the conveyance direction, and is movable in a separation position at which the support section is separated from the main body section while being separable from the second link in a direction in which the first link moves to an upstream side in the conveyance direction.
