A sheet conveying device includes a tray, a conveyor, and a guide body. The tray is configured to stack a sheet. The conveyor is configured to convey the sheet to the tray. The guide body has a space, a height of the space being greater than a thickness of the sheet. The guide body is configured to guide the sheet conveyed by the conveyor, with a leading end of the sheet being inserted in the space. The guide body is configured to separate the sheet from the space, according to a difference of a sheet conveying speed of the conveyor and a moving speed of the guide body, and to stack the sheet on the tray.

Provided is an automatable peeling apparatus for peeling a protective sheet from a prepreg sheet. This peeling apparatus 2 is equipped with a loading unit 11, a prepreg sheet conveying unit 12, a leading end position detection unit 13, air spraying units 14, 15, a peeling state detection unit 16, protective sheet gripping/conveying units 17, 18, an extraction unit 19, and a control unit 20. The control apparatus 20 controls the loading unit 11, the prepreg sheet conveying unit 12, the leading end position detection unit 13, the air spraying units 14, 15, the peeling state detection unit 16, the protective sheet gripping/conveying units 17, 18, and the extraction unit 19. The first spraying mechanism 14 sprays first air onto the front of the end face of the prepreg sheet. The second spraying mechanism 15 sprays second air and fourth air onto the peeling boundary of the protective sheet.

According to an embodiment, a sheet processing apparatus includes a transport unit and a holding unit. The transport unit transports a first sheet to a first position. The transport unit transports a second sheet, which is transported after the first sheet, to a second position displaced to the upstream side of a sheet transport direction relative to the first position. The transport unit transports a third sheet, which is transported after the second sheet, to a third position displaced to the downstream side of the sheet transport direction relative to the second position. In the case where the second sheet is transported to the second position, the holding unit holds the first sheet at the first position. In the case where the third sheet is transported to the third position, the holding unit holds the second sheet at the second position.

A sheet conveying apparatus includes: a conveyor configured to convey a sheet along a conveyance path; and a discharge tray having a support surface for supporting the sheet discharged from the conveyor. The conveyor includes a discharge unit for discharging the sheet conveyed along the conveyance path, onto the discharge tray. The discharge tray is provided with a projection protruding upward from the support surface and elongated in a direction along a discharge direction in which the sheet is conveyed. At least a portion of the projection which has a downstream edge of the projection in the discharge direction is a movable portion changeable between a first position at which an upper end portion of the projection is farthest from the support surface and a second position which is nearer to the support surface than the first position.

A protective film peeling apparatus includes a peeling tape, a tape support portion disposed under one side of the peeling tape, a first pressing portion which is disposed on the one side of the peeling and fixes the one side of the peeling tape to the tape support portion, a second pressing portion which is disposed on another side of the peeling tape and presses and attaches the another side of the peeling tape to one side of a dummy portion of a protective film on a panel, and a grip portion disposed on the dummy portion. The tape support portion and the first pressing portion peel the one side of the dummy portion and a predetermined portion of the dummy portion, and the grip portion peel a remaining portion of the dummy portion.

A label dispenser coupled to product-transporting carts at retail facilities includes a label roll support arm supporting multiple label rolls thereon, a label guide arm including openings that permit a leading portion of the backing substrate of a label roll to pass therethrough, and a side wall interconnecting the label roll support arm and the label guide arm. The label guide arm also includes an upper portion located above the openings and configured to support the backing substrates of the label rolls thereon. The label guide arm further includes an edge configured to facilitate separation of a leading peelable label from the backing substrate in response to a force applied by the user when pulling the leading portion of the backing substrate of the label roll through the opening of the label guide arm.

A packer forms stacks of segments cut from a web of material. The packer has a shoe that contacts the segment and pushes the segment onto the stack. A follower is operatively connected to the shoe. A drive shaft is operatively connected to a motor. A drive crank is operatively mounted to the drive shaft operatively pivotally connected to the follower. A motion control assembly is configured for synchronized motion with the drive shaft. The motion control assembly has a member operatively connected to the follower. When the drive shaft rotates, the drive crank moves the follower toward and away from a face of the segment and the motion control assembly operates in a manner to move the follower toward and away from a leading edge of the segment.
