Sheet conveyance apparatus
10421628 · 2019-09-24 · ·

A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a receiving conveyance path branching into a first conveyance path and a second conveyance path. A guide member guides a sheet passing through the receiving conveyance path and is movable between a first position to guide the sheet toward the first conveyance path and a second position to guide the sheet toward the second conveyance path. A rotary member is disposed on the receiving conveyance path and configured to guide the sheet by rotating in contact with the sheet. The rotary member guides the sheet on the same side as the guide member that is on the first position, while guiding the sheet on the opposite side from the guide member that is on the second position. The sheet is conveyed in contact with both the rotary member and the guide member when the guide member is at the first position.

SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM INCORPORATING THE SAME

A sheet processing apparatus includes a rotatable pressing member, a guide, and a contact member. The rotatable pressing member includes a pressing portion that is disposed in a predetermined range in a rotation direction of the pressing member to press a folded portion of a sheet. The guide is disposed opposite the pressing member. The contact member contacts the guide and is rotatably disposed at at least one end of the pressing member in an axial direction of the pressing member.

Hologram transcription apparatus

Provided is a hologram transcription apparatus including: an exposure part; and a light source part for irradiating light to the exposure part. Here, the exposure part includes a transfer unit for transferring a hologram film, and the exposure part is rotatable to change an angle formed with the light.

Sheet feeding cassette and image forming apparatus
11975933 · 2024-05-07 · ·

A sheet feeding cassette includes a main body, a lift plate, a pair of side cursors, and an auxiliary lift plate. The main body is configured to accommodate a sheet fed out in a predetermined sheet feeding direction. The lift plate is provided in the main body in a liftable manner, and has a sheet placement surface on which the sheet is placed. The pair of side cursors is configured to be moved in a width direction perpendicular to the sheet feeding direction and to come into contact with side edges of the sheet placed on the lift plate to align the sheet. The auxiliary lift plate is detachably attached to a notch portion which is formed in the lift plate so as to allow a moving of the side cursors.

REDIRECTION AND SAMPLING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A PLATE-SHAPED ELEMENT
20190233238 · 2019-08-01 ·

A device (110) for sampling sheet elements (20) in a sorting unit (100) comprises: transport means (111, 112) defining a plane (P0) and able to move (A) a sheet element (20) longitudinally upstream to downstream, an axis (R1) situated at the level of the transport means (111, 112) and extending transversely, a diversion part (113) rotatable about the axis (R1) and having at least one end (114) so that during the rotation of the diversion part (113) through a first angular sector (S1) the horizontal projection of the end (114) remains below the plane (P0) and during the rotation through a second angular sector (S2) complementary to the first angular sector the horizontal projection of the end (114) moves above the plane (P0) so as to divert a sheet element (20) in a direction different from the plane (P0) and thus to sample the sheet element (20).

Roller locks

In an example, a roller lock may include a lock to engage with a roller of a feed system, and a leadscrew to engage with the lock. The lock may include a coupling to operably engage with a complementary coupling of the roller. The leadscrew may include an advancer to engage with the lock such that the advancer may translate the lock along a longitudinal axis of the roller so that the lock may engage and disengage with the roller to intermittently prevent the roller from rotating in a forward direction.

TRANSPORTING SHEETS OF PRINT MEDIA
20190010006 · 2019-01-10 · ·

Certain examples described herein relate to transporting sheets of print media. In one example, a media transport apparatus has a plurality of media transport sections including a first media transport section and a second media transport section offset from the first media transport section in a media transport direction. The media transport apparatus has a holding section arranged to receive a sheet of print media from the first media transport section. The holding section is moveable to deposit the sheet of print media upon the second media transport section.

SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

A sheet processing apparatus is configured to press a fold line that is formed on a sheet. The sheet processing apparatus includes: a sheet supporting unit configured to support the sheet in a pressing direction for pressing the fold line; a pressing unit configured to press the fold line that is formed on the sheet that is supported by the sheet supporting unit; and a pressing-force generating unit configured to generate a pressing force for pressing the sheet supporting unit against the pressing unit at a central part in a direction along which the fold line is formed.

Apparatus for processing sheet bunches and system for forming images provided with the apparatus

In order to enable a press-bound sheet bunch to be easily peeled away from press teeth, the present invention is to provide a sheet bunch processing apparatus with a needleless binding apparatus which includes a pair of press tooth members where a plurality of press teeth extending in a ridge-line direction is formed parallel, presses a part of a sheet bunch between the pair of press tooth members, and thereby performs press binding processing, and with a peeling mechanism which applies a force in a direction substantially parallel with the ridge-line direction of the press teeth to the sheet bunch, and thereby peels the sheet bunch subjected to the press binding processing away from the press teeth of the press tooth members.
