An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body including an image forming unit, a unit detachably attached to the apparatus body, a first rotary member provided in the unit, a second rotary member provided in the apparatus body and configured to be coupled with and decoupled from the first rotary member by being moved in a rotation axial direction of the first rotary member, and a restriction member provided in the apparatus body and movable to a first position and a second position. The restriction member includes an engaging portion configured to engage with the second rotary member and is configured to move the second rotary member by the engaging portion so that the second rotary member is decoupled from the first rotary member along with a move of the restriction member from the first position to the second position.

A mail hazard screening machine is configured to compress mail pieces or envelops through compression rollers and draw out this air and any hazard that may have been contained in the envelope. The system may be able to detect a wide range of hazards such as chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear, explosive and drugs, abbreviated CBRNE+D. The sample air, the air drawn out from the hazard screening system, may be directed to one or more analysis devices and the mail processing machine may be stopped if any hazard is detected. The mail piece containing the hazard can then be found and further inspected safely. A mail feeder system may be configured to deliver mail pieces to the hazard screening system without compression of the mail pieces or envelopes.

A sheet-type medium separating apparatus applicable in a self-service financial device for reliable sheet-by-sheet separation of an entire stack of banknotes. The apparatus includes a pickup roller component; a reversal roller component; and a separation roller component, where the reversal roller component includes a reversal roller, the reversal roller is fitted onto a reversal roller shaft via a one-way bearing, the reversal roller is provided with an inner sleeve cylinder fixed with the one-way bearing and a reversal roller sleeve sleeved onto the inner sleeve cylinder and capable of moving axially and flexibly. The separating apparatus allows for automatic adjustment of the meshing clearance between the reversal roller and the separation roller on the basis of the thickness of sheet-type media to be separated, thus effectively solving the problem of the sheet-type media being jammed or torn.
