A foil transfer film cartridge includes a supply reel on which a foil film having a widthwise dimension of a first width is wound, and a supply shaft longer in a widthwise direction of the foil film than the first width. The supply shaft is configured to support the supply reel in a manner that allows the supply reel to move in the widthwise direction between a first position and a second position different from the first position.

A multi-sheet cooling buffer suitable for use in a printing device and a method of sheet processing with the cooling buffer are described. The cooling buffer includes an inlet and an outlet and a sheet cooling mechanism. An array of cooling stations, intermediate the inlet and the outlet, are each configured to receive print media sheets independently from the inlet and direct cooled sheets towards the outlet. In the cooling buffer, multiple print media sheets are able to be cooled contemporaneously in respective ones of the cooling stations.

A cable drum for supplying energy to an electrically operated utility vehicle includes an axially extending winding body, a winding drive for rotatably driving the winding body for reeling-up or unreeling an electric line, a spacing means for segmenting a winding layer reeled-up onto the winding body, and an air conveying means for generating cooling air through a passage region. The cooling air flows outward of the interior of the winding body. The passage region is kept clear between adjacent segments of the winding layer.

A sheet feeding device capable of improving user's convenience even in a case where non-long sheets and long sheets are switchingly used. A sheet storage opened and closed for storing sheets to be used for image formation. A deck supply path feeds sheets from the sheet storage. A first and a second lift plate are provided in the sheet storage, side by side, in a sheet feeding direction. The first and second lift plates can be lifted up and down by a lift mechanism. A CPU determines whether or not an operation concerning storing long sheets in the sheet storage has been performed. When it is determined that the operation has been performed, the CPU controls the lift mechanism to cause the levels of the first and second lift plates to match each other.

A cable drum, around which a cable is coiled, includes: a body; a flange; a cable coiled around the body; and a plurality of heat pipes arranged across the body and the flange. Evaporating portions of the plurality of heat pipes are disposed in the body. Condensing portions of the plurality of heat pipes are disposed in the flange.

A stacking apparatus includes a limiting member which moves along a feeding direction and limits a trailing edge of a stacked sheet in the feeding direction, and a partition member which partitions a space at a height which is lower than a predetermined height, into a first space corresponding to a first stacking unit and a second space corresponding to a second stacking unit in a feeding direction. The partition member includes a first opening portion for communicating the first space and the second space with each other, and a second opening portion that allows the limiting member to move.
