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.

The conveyance guide unit is provided with a guide member, a supporting frame, and an external cover. The guide member guides a sheet, which is discharged from a sheet discharge port of the image forming apparatus or from a sheet discharge port of a relay conveyance device installed in the image forming apparatus, to the sheet carrying-in port of a post-processing device. The supporting frame supports the guide member. The external cover is fixed to the supporting frame; the external cover covers an upper part of the guide member and side parts of the guide member in a traverse direction of a sheet conveyance path, which is perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction. The external cover has an upper surface serving as an extension part of a discharge tray part of the post-processing device, the extension part being extended downstream, in a sheet discharge direction.

A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a casing, an electric cable including a conductor and an insulator configured to cover the conductor, and a guide member attached to the casing and configured to guide the electric cable, wherein the guide member includes a wire-forming member formed of a metal wire, and wherein the electric cable is wired along the guide member with at least one of the electric cable and the guide member twisted around the other of the electric cable and the guide member.

A sheet feeder includes a sheet tray, a feed roller, a sheet feed frame, a contact element, a guide frame, a photosensor, a shield, and a linkage. The feed roller feeds a sheet on the sheet tray. The sheet feed frame holds the feed roller. The contact element is pivotable relative to the sheet feed frame. The guide frame is disposed below the sheet feed frame. The photosensor includes a light emitter and a light receiver. The shield is movable between a light transmission position and a light shield position. The linkage connects the contact element and the shield such that the shield is movable as the contact element pivots. The light receiver receives the light emitted from the light emitter when the shield is at the light transmission position. The shield at the light shield position shields the light receiver from the light emitted from the light emitter.

A document conveyance device includes a sheet feeding tray, a conveyance mechanism, a discharge tray, a document pressing member and a supporting mechanism. The document pressing member comes into contact with an upper face of the document discharged from a conveyance path and presses the document downward. The supporting mechanism is configured to be provided in the sheet feeding tray, to support the document pressing member, to allow a shifting of the document pressing member according to an operation for shifting the document pressing member in a discharge direction of the document or an opposite direction to the discharge direction and to inhibit the shifting of the document pressing member against a force applied to the document pressing member by the discharged document.

There is provided a sheet conveying apparatus including: a casing having an opening; a cover configured to uncover and cover the opening; a holder configured to hold a roll body, the roll body including a sheet being rolled; a slidable support attached to the casing, the slidable support being configured to support the holder, the slidable support being configured to slide to an accommodated position at which the slidable support is accommodated within the casing and to a drawn position at which at least a part of the slidable support is positioned at outside of the casing with respect to the opening; and a conveyer configured to convey the sheet of the roll body in a state that the slidable support is at the accommodated position.

A reusable media shell has a frame to hold sheets of media in an interior. A removable cap connects to the frame and its manipulation unveils the media for picking by an imaging device. The cap resides on a terminal end of the frame so the frame covers a majority of the media. A lift plate in the interior forces upward the sheets for picking. Two magnets on the frame magnetically secure the frame to magnets in a base of the imaging device and position the sheets in the base. Upstanding walls, a lid and bottom define the interior of the frame. Inserts attached to the walls allow adjustment to accommodate various sizes of the media.

A support reel assembly for installing vapor barrier on a wall of a building includes a first bracket that can be mounted to a wall of a building. A second bracket is provided that can be mounted to the wall having the second bracket being aligned with the first bracket. A first bubble level is coupled to the second bracket and a second bubble level is coupled to the second bracket for leveling the second bracket along a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. A pole is coupled to and extends away from the second bracket thereby facilitating the roll of vapor barrier to be drawn along the wall for installation on the wall. Additionally, the pole engages the first bracket.

A strap winding, storage, and dispensing assembly for storing and dispensing a plurality of straps includes a spacing element engaged to and extending between a pair of plates. Each of a set of strap stowing units engaged to the pair of plates comprises a spindle having a winding element and a braking element operationally engaged thereto. The spindle can engage a respective end of a strap so that the strap is removably engaged to the spindle. The winding element is positioned to selectively rotate the spindle, in a first direction, to coil the strap therearound. The braking element is engaged to a respective one of the plates and is positioned to selectively engage the spindle, to prevent rotation thereof, to retain the strap therearound. The braking element also is positioned to selectively disengage the spindle so that the spindle can rotate in a second direction to uncoil the strap.

A dispenser for holding a spool of coiled material utilizes a spindle having shoulder members at its ends respectively, and an elastic or resilient line extending between the shoulder members. The line traverses the outermost convolution of the coiled material, to resist free unwinding movement thereof. One of shoulder members is removable, to allow for insertion of a filled spool onto the spindle, for controlled dispensing of the coiled material. Simplicity in construction is realizable, along with compensation for gradual depletion of the coiled material as it is used up.
