An image recording apparatus for recording an image on a sheet includes a recording section which records the image on the sheet in a transport passage for transporting the sheet in a transport direction and multiple plates which are spaced apart from each other in a widthwise direction. These multiple plates include a first type of plate and a second type of plate. Plates of a first type of plate are configured to overlap a sheet when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and the widthwise direction, while plates of the second type of plate do not.

A corrugating roll unit conveyance apparatus includes a mounting base having a first accommodation part for accommodating a corrugating roll unit to be removed and a second accommodation part for accommodating a corrugating roll unit to be installed; and a movement device for moving the mounting base to a first replacement position at which the first accommodation part faces the existing corrugating roll unit, a second replacement position at which the second accommodation part faces a space from which the existing corrugating roll unit has been removed, and a retracted position separated from the first replacement position and the second replacement position.

A sheet discharging apparatus includes a discharging unit to discharge a sheet such that the sheet nipped between a first roller and a second roller is warped as viewed from a downstream side in a sheet discharge direction, a sheet supporting member to support the sheet discharged by the discharging unit, and a first charge-removing portion to remove electrostatic charges of the sheet by coming into contact with the sheet at a position downstream of a position where the first roller and the second roller nip the sheet in the sheet discharge direction. In addition, a second charge-removing portion removes electrostatic charges of the sheet by coming into contact with the sheet at a position downstream of the position where the first charge-removing portion comes into contact with the sheet in the sheet discharge direction.

A recording-material-transporting device includes an attracting part to which a recording material is attracted from below, and a blowing device that blows air from a position higher than the attracting part to an edge of the recording material attracted to the attracting part.

A conveyance device includes a plurality of pairs of rotators and a conveyance path. The pairs of rotators include first rotators disposed adjacent to a reverse side of a liquid-adhered surface of a sheet and second rotators disposed adjacent to the liquid-adhered surface. The second rotators have protrusions. Each pair of rotators includes one first rotator and two or more second rotators. The conveyance path includes at least one curved conveyance portion. The pairs of rotators are disposed at intervals on the conveyance path in a conveyance direction. The one first rotator and the two or more second rotators in at least one of the pairs are disposed in contact with each other. The number of the two or more second rotators arranged in a sheet width direction is larger in an upstream portion than in a downstream portion of the conveyance path in the conveyance direction.

A medium feeding device includes: a medium mounting section onto which a medium to be fed is mounted; a feeding unit that feeds the medium mounted on the medium mounting section; and a supporting member that supports an end in a width direction of the medium mounted on the medium mounting section and that supports the medium at a higher position than the medium mounting section in a direction of loading of the medium, the width direction being a direction crossing a feed direction.

The invention relates to a device for providing a three-dimensional cushioning material for cushioning an void volume in a transport container, comprising a converting apparatus for converting a flat web-like starting material into the three-dimensional cushioning material and a receiving means for receiving at least regions of a stack of the web-like starting material folded in a zigzagging manner. The receiving means has a first lateral contact means for a first stack type, which has a first width (B1), and a second lateral contact means for a second stack type, which has a second width (B2), such that either a stack of the first stack type or a stack of the second stack type can be arranged in the receiving means in a centered manner relative to the same central axis.

A recording-material-transporting device includes an attracting part to which a recording material is attracted from below, and a blowing device that blows air from a position higher than the attracting part to an edge of the recording material attracted to the attracting part.

Examples disclosed herein relate to a device including a flap. In examples, the device includes a star wheel to advance a medium along an output media path; and a flap disposed to cover the star wheel in a first position and to be moved by a force applied by a medium being advanced along the output media path to a second position. In examples, the medium is to be directed toward an output tray when the flap is in the second position.
