Medium transport device and image forming apparatus
A medium transport device includes a transporting member, a medium offsetting member, a guide member, and an interlocking member. The guide member is located upstream of the transporting member in a medium transport direction. The guide member is movable between a first position, in which the guide member guides the medium toward the medium accommodating member, and a second position, in which the guide member guides the medium to a destination different from the medium accommodating member, to guide the medium. The interlocking member moves the guide member between the first position and the second position in conjunction with a movement of the medium offsetting member in a width direction of the medium offsetting member.
Medium transport device and image forming apparatus
A medium transport device includes a transporting member that transports a medium toward a medium accommodating member; a switching member that switches between a first guide position, in which the switching member guides the medium to be transported to the medium accommodating member, and a second guide position, in which the switching member guides the medium to be transported to a position different from the medium accommodating member, the switching member being movable between a first shift position and a second shift position in a width direction of the medium; and a movement member that moves the switching member to the first guide position to move the switching member to the first shift position, and that moves the switching member to the second guide position to move the switching member to the second shift position.
SUCTION ROLL OF A WEB, OR SHEET, OF PAPER IN A PAPER CONVERTING MACHINE
A suction roll of a web, or sheet, of paper, includes a tubular body that rotates about a longitudinal rotation axis. External and internal lateral surfaces of the suction roll pneumatically communicate with each other through suction holes. The roll includes a suction chamber pneumatically connected to a vacuum generation device for generating a predetermined vacuum degree. A vacuum distribution device selectively puts into pneumatic communication the suction chamber with at least one row of suction holes, at determined angular positions of the tubular body and causes the processed sheet or web of paper to be sucked, and to adhere at a corresponding portion of the external lateral surface arranged between a catching point and a releasing point having determined angular positions. A displacement device moves the vacuum distribution device to change the angular position of the catching or releasing point of the web or sheet of paper.
DISPLAY DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
A display device for a vehicle includes a first frame, a second frame configured to be move along a first direction with respect to the first frame, a roller rotatably coupled to the second frame and configured to move along the first direction based on movement of the second frame, and a flexible display that is at least partially wound around the roller and that is configured to be bent around the roller. The flexible display has an end portion fixed to the first frame. A front surface of the flexible display defines an externally exposed area that is configured to increase based on an increase of a distance between the first frame and the roller.
Sheet conveyance apparatus controlling direction for conveying sheet, and image forming apparatus
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes: a guide member configured to guide a sheet in a first direction in a first state, and in a second direction in a second state; a driving source configured to generate a driving force; a transfer member configured to change the state of the guide member from the first state to the second state by being moved by the driving force; and a control unit configured to control the driving force. The control unit is further configured to set the driving force to a value smaller than a force necessary to move the transfer member to change the guide member from the first state to the second state, and subsequently cause the driving force to increase to a value larger than the force necessary to move the transfer member.
SHEET PROCESSING DEVICE
The sheet processing device includes a processing tray, a processing device, a discharge port, a discharge rollers pair, a supporting arm and an interlock mechanism. The discharge rollers pair has a lower roller and an upper roller. The supporting arm supports the upper roller and is turnable between a first position where the upper roller comes into contact with the sheet and a second position where the upper roller separates upwardly from the sheet. The interlock mechanism includes an actuator, a switch and a switch moving mechanism. The actuator is turned with an upwardly turning of the supporting arm. The switch detects the actuator to detect that the supporting arm is turned to the second position. The switch moving mechanism moves the switch to a switch non-detective position when the processing is not performed and moves the switch to a switch detective position when the processing is performed.
Soft pack tape applicator
A tape applicator for applying tape to seal a case is disclosed wherein the pressure applied to the top of the case may be significantly reduced by activating an actuator at the appropriate time to lift the application mechanism or assembly and the cut-off mechanism away from the case being sealed.
MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A medium transport device includes a medium guide member, a driving source, a first movement member, a movement restricting member, and a second moving member. The medium guide member is movable between a first guide position, in which the medium guide member guides a medium toward a receiving member on which the medium is loaded, and a second guide position, in which the medium guide member guides the medium from the receiving member into the device. The driving source moves the medium guide member. The first movement member moves the medium guide member in accordance with an operation of the driving source. The movement restricting member is movable together with the medium guide member. The second moving member is movable between a first position, in which the second moving member is located close to the movement restricting member to restrict the medium guide member from moving from the second guide position to the first guide position, and a second position, in which the second moving member is spaced apart from the movement restricting member to allow the medium guide member to move to the first guide position. The second moving member moves from the first position to the second position when the medium guide member moves toward the first guide position in response to an operation of the driving source.
MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A medium transport device includes a transporting member, a medium offsetting member, a guide member, and an interlocking member. The transporting member transports a medium toward a medium accommodating member. The medium offsetting member moves the transporting member in a medium width direction to transport the medium to the medium accommodating member at positions shifted in the medium width direction. The guide member is located upstream of the transporting member in a medium transport direction. The guide member is movable between a first position, in which the guide member guides the medium toward the medium accommodating member, and a second position, in which the guide member guides the medium to a destination different from the medium accommodating member, to guide the medium. The interlocking member moves the guide member between the first position and the second position in conjunction with a movement of the medium offsetting member in a width direction of the medium offsetting member.
MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A medium transport device includes a transporting member that transports a medium toward a medium accommodating member; a switching member that switches between a first guide position, in which the switching member guides the medium to be transported to the medium accommodating member, and a second guide position, in which the switching member guides the medium to be transported to a position different from the medium accommodating member, the switching member being movable between a first shift position and a second shift position in a width direction of the medium; and a movement member that moves the switching member to the first guide position to move the switching member to the first shift position, and that moves the switching member to the second guide position to move the switching member to the second shift position.
