An example system includes an advancement mechanism to drive print medium into a stacking region, a clamping mechanism, and a controller. The clamping mechanism includes a trailing edge clamping arrangement in a trailing edge portion of the stacking region and at least one downstream clamping arrangement in a downstream portion of the stacking region, the downstream portion being downstream of the trailing edge portion. The controller is to sequentially actuate the trailing edge clamping arrangement and the at least one downstream clamping arrangement when the advancement mechanism transports a print medium into the stacking region.

A printer includes: a housing; a paper delivery table on which paper sheets delivered from an inside of the housing are stacked; a suction fan that sucks a gas that cools down the inside of the housing from an outside of the housing; and a first suction port that is a suction port through which a gas is sucked from the outside of the housing by the suction fan and through which a gas below a paper sheet that is delivered from the inside of the housing is sucked.

A bag opening apparatus and a bag opening method capable of efficiently opening a bag body in a short period of time are provided. A bag opening apparatus includes a gap formation unit which bends at least a front wall portion, of the front wall portion and a back wall portion that constitute a mouth portion of a bag body, so as to form a gap. When a first press drive member presses a first holding unit against the front wall portion, a contact part of the first holding unit is swung against urging force of an urging part of the first holding unit to bend the front wall portion.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a system for preventing media misalignment during accumulation. The system includes a number of media clamps having multiple positions to prevent misalignment of an incoming media sheet during accumulation. The number of media clamps are in a raised position after a leading edge of the incoming media sheet has passed over a trailing edge of the stack region. The media clamps are in a clamped position after the leading edge of the incoming media sheet has passed the media clamp.

A method of producing a laminated body is provided in which, while a carrier A is wound off from a bobbin, an adhesive is applied to both facing ends thereof and a metal foil B is laid on and bonded to a side to which the adhesive was applied. The obtained laminated body is subsequently cut, a plurality of the cut laminated bodies are aligned in a stack, a roller is applied from the top of the stack when the elevation of the center of the stack becomes high to vent air existing between and within the laminated bodies. After the air vent process, the adhesive hardens to mutually bond the carrier to the metal foil of each laminated body. Accordingly, a carrier-attached copper foil that provides improvements in handling ability in the production process of a printed board and cost reduction based on improved production yield.

The invention relates to a reel-up 3 for receiving and winding into a roll 4 a paper web W that arrives from a drying cylinder 2 in a paper making machine and which drying cylinder 2 is located upstream of the reel-up 3 and which paper web W follows a path of travel from the drying cylinder 2 to the reel-up 3. The reel-up 3 comprises a rotatably mounted reel spool 5 onto which a paper web W can be wound to create a paper roll 4 of increasing diameter and an endless flexible belt 6 mounted for rotation along a predetermined path of travel such that the flexible belt 6 forms a loop. The flexible belt 6 is positioned adjacent to the reel spool 5 to engage the paper web W against the reel spool 5 during winding. The reel-up 3 is arranged to receive the paper web W at the end of a path of travel of the paper web W which ends in a point of contact P with the flexible belt 6 where the paper web W meets the flexible belt 6 such that a wedge-shaped space WS is formed between the flexible belt 6 and the paper web W. From the point of contact P, the paper web W will be carried by the flexible belt 6 to the reel-spool 5. According to the invention, the reel-up 3 further comprises an air deflector 8 for diverting or evacuating air away from the wedge-shaped space WS formed between the flexible belt 6 and the paper web W. The invention also relates to a method of reeling a paper web.

A sheet storage device includes a sheet storage to stack and store sheets conveyed to the sheet storage in a conveyance direction. The sheet storage includes: a first sheet contact surface at a downstream end of the sheet storage in the conveyance direction; a second sheet contact surface at one end of the sheet storage in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to each of the conveyance direction and the gravity direction; a first inclined portion having an upper end at a downstream side and a lower end at an upstream side in the conveyance direction and having the first sheet contact surface tilted downward in a gravity direction from the upper end to the lower end; and a second inclined portion tilted downward in the gravity direction toward the second sheet contact surface in the orthogonal direction.
