DEVICE WITH COVER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A device with a cover includes a cover that is provided at an apparatus body, an opening and closing cover that is provided at the apparatus body to be adjacent to the cover in a state where a gap with the cover is provided, that is opened and closed by rotating around a shaft portion arranged on an inside with respect to a portion of the opening and closing cover on a cover side, and that is adjacent to the cover on a shaft portion side, and an overhanging portion that is formed at an end portion of the opening and closing cover on the cover side and in which an end portion on the inside overhangs from an end portion on an outside to the cover side in a range of a rotation trajectory having a largest radius formed at the end portion on the cover side with the shaft portion as a rotation center.
Sheet feeding apparatus, image reading apparatus, and image forming apparatus
A sheet feeding apparatus includes: a conveying roller; a separating roller which forms a nip portion by pressing the conveying roller and separates a sheet conveyed by the conveying roller one by one in the nip portion; a moving portion configured to move a stacking portion from a first position at which a sheet stacked in the stacking portion and a feeding roller are separated from each other to a second position at which the sheet stacked in the stacking portion abuts on the feeding roller; and a cover member which is movable between a third position to cover a rotation shaft of the separating roller and a fourth position to expose the rotation shaft of the separating roller, in which the cover member placed in the fourth position moves to the third position along with movement of the stacking portion from the first position to the second position.
Support frame for sheet conveying apparatus and sheet conveying apparatus
A support frame for a sheet conveying apparatus includes a bottom plate that includes a first member having a first surface portion and a first wall portion and a second member having a second surface portion and a second wall portion, a support rod that is fixed to the bottom plate, and a plurality of installation members that is fixed to the bottom plate and installs the sheet conveying apparatus. The second member is fixed to the first member by the second wall portion overlapping and being joined to the first wall portion on an outer side of the first wall portion.
Document feeder and image forming apparatus
A document feeder includes a device body, and an opening and closing cover which is provided to be openable and closable with respect to the device body, and including a paper feed roller and a paper feed roller drive shaft on the device body. The document feeder includes a guide member, which is mounted rotatably to the paper feed roller drive shaft on an outer side of the paper feed roller in a roller axis direction thereof. The guide member guides a document being conveyed, in a state where the opening and closing cover is closed, by being opposed to the paper feed roller drive shaft in a predetermined orientation.
SHEET FEEDING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
A sheet feeding device includes a feeding roller pair, a first guide, a door including a second guide and rotatable between a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction through first to third positions, a damping mechanism, and an engaging portion including an elastic member. A first resisting force is set so that moment acting around a shaft by a self-weight of the door is larger than the first resisting force of the damping mechanism when the door is positioned between the second position and the third position. A resultant force of the first resisting force of the damping mechanism and a second resisting force of the elastic portion is set so that the moment acting around the shaft by the self-weight of the door is larger than the resultant force when the door is positioned between the second position and the third position.
IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a first rotating body, a second rotating body, and a connection member. The first rotating body is configured to be openable and closeable and provided in the apparatus main body. The second rotating body is provided in the first rotating body. The second rotating body is configured to be openable and closable from the first rotating body in the same direction as that of the first rotating body. The connection member is linear. The connection member is configured to connect the apparatus main body and the second rotating body to each other and to restrict a rotation angle of the second rotating body.
MEDIUM CONVEYING APPARATUS
A medium conveying apparatus includes a cover that is supported by a main body so as to be arranged in an opening position or a closing position, an arm that protrudes into a conveying path formed between the cover and the main body and is retracted from the conveying path, a lock mechanism that fixes the cover to the main body with the cover arranged in the closing position, and a mechanism that retracts the arm from the conveying path when the lock mechanism shifts from a first state in which the lock mechanism releases the cover from the main body to a second state in which the lock mechanism fixes the cover to the main body.
AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER WITH DISENGAGEABLE ROLLERS
An automatic document feeder includes a media path to route media through the automatic document feeder, an opposing roller pair to route media along the media path, and a media tray to receive the media from the media path, the media tray to be opened, and the opposing roller pair to be disengaged when the media tray is opened.
Sheet feeding apparatus, image reading apparatus, and image forming apparatus
A sheet feeding apparatus includes: a conveying roller; a separating roller which forms a nip portion by pressing the conveying roller and separates a sheet conveyed by the conveying roller one by one in the nip portion; a moving portion configured to move a stacking portion from a first position at which a sheet stacked in the stacking portion and a feeding roller are separated from each other to a second position at which the sheet stacked in the stacking portion abuts on the feeding roller; and a cover member which is movable between a third position to cover a rotation shaft of the separating roller and a fourth position to expose the rotation shaft of the separating roller, in which the cover member placed in the fourth position moves to the third position along with movement of the stacking portion from the first position to the second position.
TRANSPORTATION APPARATUS AND PRINTING APPARATUS
A transportation portion includes an apparatus body, a cover, first and second path formation portions, and a movement portion. The apparatus body has a transportation path including a downward path and an upward path having portions located at the same level in the Z direction. The cover covers and uncovers the transportation path. The first path formation portion is movable to a first position and to a second position. The second path formation portion defines the upward path and defines the downward path with the first path formation portion. The movement portion moves the first path formation portion in response to opening or closing of the cover. The first path formation portion is positioned in a movement area during a closed state. The movement portion moves the first path formation portion to the second position when the cover is opened and to the first position when the cover is closed.
