In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a dispenser assembly for dispensing supplies of sheet material. The dispensing assembly can include a carrier supporting the supplies of sheet material and being moveable along a track between various dispensing positions. The dispenser assembly also can include a carrier pivoting assembly with a lever that engages one of the supplies of sheet material and rotates during dispensing thereof, as well as one or more biased pins connected to the lever and configured to engage locking features provided along the track to support the carrier in one of the dispensing positions. The biased pins further can be configured to retract with rotation of the lever such that they disengage the locking features so the carrier to moves along the track to different dispensing position. Other aspects also are described.

A sheet processing apparatus has a main body with an insertion slot for a sheet cassette. The sheet cassette has a moveable pin member. A housing in the main body includes a lever partially rotatable about a first axis. The lever has a pin engagement portion at an end of the lever that rotates about a second axis and has an engagement groove into which the pin member can be inserted from a first pin engagement position and a second pin engagement position when the lever has rotated about the first axis. An elastic member applies a force to the lever to rotate the lever toward the insertion direction of the cassette. The housing includes a chassis having a guide groove extending along the insertion direction. The guide groove includes an inclining portion that is inclined with respect to the insertion direction.

A telescoping cable spool for attaching to a networking equipment and supporting a plurality of fiber optic cables is shown. The spool comprises a fixed part for attachment to a surface adjacent the networking equipment; a spool housing comprising a pair of cable retaining flanges interconnected by a hollow cable support dimensioned to fit in a telescoping arrangement over the fixed part. The spool housing is moveable relative to the fixed part between a first retracted position and a second extended position.

Provided is a recording material processing apparatus including: a recording material support portion configured to support a recording material loaded thereon from below; a contact member disposed on a side of the recording material loaded on the recording material support portion and configured to be pushed by an edge portion of the recording material, the contact member being configured to move to a side opposite to the side of the recording material; an elastic member configured to receive a load from the contact member pushed by the edge portion of the recording material; and a member support portion disposed without contacting the recording material loaded on the recording material support portion and configured to support the contact member.

A sheet discharge device includes a discharge member, a discharge tray and a stopper. The discharge tray includes a groove and a fixed magnetic body. The groove is formed along a discharge direction. The fixed magnetic body is disposed at a predetermined position along the groove. The stopper includes a guide piece, a contact piece and a moving magnet body. The guide piece is engaged with the groove in a slidable manner. With the contact piece, the leading edge of the sheet is allowed to be come into contact. The moving magnetic body generates a magnetic force in a direction in which the moving magnetic body and the fixed magnetic body are attracted each other. When the guide piece is slid along the groove and the moving magnetic body reaches the predetermined position, a resistance is applied to a sliding movement of the guide piece by the magnetic force.

An image forming apparatus includes a sheet container accommodating a recording medium therein, a sheet separating feeder including a sheet feeding body and a sheet separating body, an image forming part, and a bend applier. The sheet feeding body feeds the recording medium along with a surface movement thereof while the recording medium contacting the surface thereof. The sheet separating body forms a sheet separation nip region with the sheet feeding body and sandwiches the recording medium in the sheet separation nip region. The sheet separating feeder separates and feeds the recording medium contacting the sheet feeding body. The image forming part forms an image on the recording medium. The bend applier having a leading end of an elastic material contacts and bends the recording medium before the sheet separation nip region and generates a wrinkle extending on the recording medium in a sheet conveying direction.

The printer has a closed state where the printing head portion and the damper portion are positioned on a position printable on the print mediums, and an open state where the printing head portion and the damper portion are positioned on a position separated from the print mediums. In a case of a transition from the closed state to the open state, the printing head portion and the damper portion behave in conjunction, and in a case of a transition from the open state to the closed state, the damper portion and the printing head portion independently behave.

In one example, a bail system for a sheet media tray includes a bail to apply a force to a sheet in the tray, a bias mechanism to counter the force of the bail on the sheet, and a control mechanism to control the degree to which the bias mechanism counters the force of the bail on the sheet.

Example feed trays for a printer are disclosed. In one example, the feed tray includes a support surface to support print media, and a guide wall coupled to the support surface. The support surface and the guide wall define a feed path for the print media into the printer. In addition, the feed tray includes a fill indicator comprising a cam rotatably coupled to the guide wall about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the feed path. The cam includes an extension that extends radially from the axis of rotation, and the cam is rotatable about the axis of rotation between a first position and a second position. The extension is more proximate to the support surface when the cam is in the second position than when the cam is in the first position, and the cam is rotationally biased from the second position toward the first position.

A roll supporting device includes: a pair of supporting rollers which support an outer circumferential surface of a rolled medium, and which are provided so as to rotate together with the rolled medium; a side wall which has a reference surface coming into contact with one end surface of the rolled medium in an axial direction along a central axis of the rolled medium; and a pair of restricting members which press another end surface of the rolled medium toward the reference surface. The pair of supporting rollers are disposed on both sides of the central axis of the rolled medium when viewed in the axial direction of the rolled medium. The pair of restricting members are disposed outside a space between the pair of supporting rollers in a circumferential direction of the rolled medium, and are respectively adjacent to the supporting rollers, and are provided so as to be movable independently from each other.
