Examples disclosed herein relate to a device including a separator. Examples include a first separator having a surface to contact a medium and is coupled to a first spring. In examples, the first separator has a first centerline in a direction perpendicular to a medium travel direction. Examples include a second separator having a surface to contact a medium and is coupled to a second spring. In examples, the second separator has a second centerline disposed substantially parallel to the first centerline. Examples include a roller to contact the medium to move the medium along the medium travel direction. In examples, the first spring and second spring bias the first separator and second separator towards the roller, respectively. In examples, a force applied by the first separator to the medium is independent of a force applied to the medium by the second separator.

A printer which reduces feeding failure that occurs when a roller (120) is pressed against a sheet of paper by power of a driving source includes: a rotating member (114) which rotates around a first axis; a connecting member (119) which connects with the rotating member (114); a roller (120) which is disposed in the connecting member (119) and rotates around a second axis to transfer a medium; and a support member (130) disposed across from the roller (120), wherein the roller applies a force to the medium based on rotation of the rotating member (114), and the medium is transferred between the roller (120) and the support member (130).
摘要:
The present invention provides a sheet separation pad which can maintain an optimum sheet separating capability and an optimum sheet feeding capability according to the type of sheets for a long period of time without any of various problems encountered by a prior-art sheet separation pad having a planar contact surface and a prior-art sheet separation pad formed with grooves or notches, and an image forming apparatus incorporating the inventive sheet separation pad. The inventive sheet separation pad (1) comprises a nonporous planar body which has a surface serving as a contact surface (2) to be brought into contact with a sheet, and a plurality of recesses (4) or a plurality of through-holes (5) formed in the contact surface (2) as each having an opening area of 0.7 7 to 20 mm 2 . The image forming apparatus comprises the inventive sheet separation pad (1).

A sheet separation transport mechanism (40) according to the present disclosure includes a sheet feed member (30), a separation member (35), a support member (37), a sheet member (45) and a concave portion (47). The sheet feed member (30) feeds a sheet in a transport direction. The separation member (35) is pressed onto the sheet feed member (30). The support member (37) includes: a separation member retaining portion (37b); and a guide portion (37a) which guides lead edges of a plurality of sheets to the downstream side along the inclined surface. The sheet member (45) is adhered from the guide portion (37a) so as to overlap the separation member (35) and has a frictional coefficient lower than the separation member (35). The concave portion (47) is formed in the shape of a groove in a position of the guide portion (37a) where the sheet member (45) is adhered such that the depth of the concave portion (47) is greater than the thickness of the sheet member (45).

Sheet conveying path extends from sheet stacking portion. Sheet feed roller is disposed, in sheet conveying path, facing sheet stacking portion. Sheet feed pad is disposed facing circumferential surface of sheet feed roller, and has pad surface that forms, between pad surface and circumferential surface, nip portion into which sheet is conveyed. Support member has support surface to which sheet feed pad is fixed and contact surface located upstream of support surface in sheet conveying direction so as to be higher than pad surface, and configured to make contact with leading end of sheet fed from sheet stacking portion. Rib portions are disposed in support member. Rib portions are disposed on both side portions, in sheet width direction intersecting sheet conveying direction, of support surface, and have inclined surfaces that extend so as to lower front end portions thereof, respectively, from contact surface toward downstream side in sheet conveying direction.

A sheet feed device (3) includes: a sheet accommodation unit (31); a separation roller (34) that applies conveyance force to sheets (P); and a separation resistance body (35) including a friction portion facing the separation roller (34) for separating the sheets one at a time. The sheet accommodation unit (31) includes a guide portion (110) provided at an upstream of the separation roller (34) in a sheet feed direction for guiding the sheet. The separation resistance body (35) includes an extension portion (513), which is pressed toward the separation roller (34) while being supported to be contacted/separated to/from the separation roller (34), and which is extended upstream in the sheet feed direction from an upstream end portion of the separation resistance body (35). The guide portion (110) and the extension portion (513) are arranged in a line in a width direction. An upstream end portion (514) of the extension portion (513) is retreated with regard to a guide surface of the guide portion when feeding the sheets.
