A sheet conveyance device includes a pair of conveyance rollers, a contact-release mechanism, an alignment mechanism, and a control portion. The contact-release mechanism moves first and second conveyance rollers, constituting the pair of conveyance rollers, into contact with and away from each other. The alignment mechanism aligns a sheet conveyed along the sheet conveyance passage in a sheet width direction. The alignment mechanism includes a pair of alignment members movable toward and away from each other in the sheet width direction and aligning the sheet in the sheet width direction by making contact, from both sides in the sheet width direction, with side edges of the sheet. The control portion controls the contact-release mechanism to move the first and second conveyance rollers away from each other, and aligns the sheet with the pair of alignment members located opposite each other in the sheet width direction.

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.

The device for cooling an adhesive applied to a surface of bag bodies includes a transfer conveyor and a cooling conveyor. The transfer conveyor conveys the bag bodies at a transfer speed to the cooling conveyor, and the cooling conveyor conveys the bag bodies taken over from the transfer conveyor at a cooling conveyor speed. The transfer speed is higher than the cooling conveyor speed, which is why the bag bodies are arranged overlapping each other on the cooling conveyor. Due to this higher packing density, there is achieved a long dwell time of the bag bodies in the cooling conveyor at simultaneously a high flow-rate of bag bodies through the device.
