A rotating body unit includes a rotating body and a frame body. The frame body includes a pair of bearing portions. A mounting portion includes a pair of opposing walls facing each other in a width direction, a mounting space formed between the opposing walls, a pair of bearing support members, and a pair of biasing members. The bearing support members are supported by the opposing walls to be movable in the width direction. The biasing members bias the bearing support members inward in the width direction. When the rotating body unit is inserted into the mounting space, the bearing portions abut on a pair of guide surfaces of the bearing support members and move the bearing support members from support positions to retraction positions, and the bearing support members move from the retraction positions to the support positions to support the bearing portions.

A rotating body unit includes a pair of bearing portions and a first engagement portion. A pair of bearing support members support the bearing portions when at support positions, and release the bearing portions when at retraction positions. An auxiliary tool includes a pair of arm portions and a second engagement portion. When the auxiliary tool is engaged with the rotating body unit mounted in the mounting portion, the arm portions abut on and move the bearing support members from the support positions to the retraction positions. The second engagement portion engages with the first engagement portion after the bearing support members move to the retraction positions. As the auxiliary tool is separated from the mounting portion with the second engagement portion engaging with the first engagement portion, the rotating body unit is pulled out of the mounting space integrally with the auxiliary tool.

CARD HANDLING APPARATUS
20230227254 · 2023-07-20 · ·

In order to increase a stored amount of cards in a card handling apparatus that discharges cards stored in the card cassettes one by one, the card handling apparatus is provided with two card cassettes. A first card cassette and a second card cassette are arranged along a conveying path for the card, and when all cards stored in the first card cassette is discharged, the card is discharged from the second card cassette. The first card cassette has a gate for allowing the card discharged from the second card cassette to enter on a back surface. The card discharged from the second card cassette enters the first card cassette from the gate, passing the inside and being discharged from a discharge port of the first card cassette.

FEEDING DEVICE AND RECORDING DEVICE
20230227281 · 2023-07-20 ·

A feeding unit includes a paper feeding tray, a lifter, a feeding roller, a guide plate, and a handling portion. The lifter can displace paper in the paper feeding tray in a +B direction. The guide plate guides a downstream end of the paper lifted by the lifter in a +A direction toward the feeding roller. The handling portion handles the paper toward the feeding roller. The guide plate forms a frontage through which the paper can pass between the guide plate and an outer peripheral surface of the feeding roller, and is provided so that a size of the frontage can be adjusted. The handling portion is provided integrally with the guide plate.
