摘要:
A high speed image capture system, for the automatic treatment of documents that has the resources in order to process documents with varying sizes and uneven thicknesses, regardless of the fact that said documents are creased, have stickers or similar items attached, and/or inclined against the longitudinal axis of the conveyor belt, with support for different paper qualities, being applicable to documents carrying any type of bar code, be they uni-dimensional or bi-dimensional, or with optically recognisable characters.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes: a sheet tray (46) in which a plurality of sheets is to be stacked; a sheet feeding section (43) which vacuums a sheet from the plurality of sheets stacked in the sheet tray and feeds the sheet to an image forming apparatus; a first sheet separator (46) which has a member (461) which separates each sheet from the plurality of sheets when the sheet feeding section feeds the plurality of sheets; and a second sheet separator (44) which has a forward roller (441) rotated in a sheet transport direction, which feeds the sheet to the image forming apparatus, and a parallel retard roller (442) rotatable in an opposite direction so as to separate each sheet from the plurality of sheets.

The invention relates to a sheet feeder for feeding paper sheets one by one. The sheet feeder includes one or more sheet feeding belts (2) and a sheet restraining or retarding element (7). The sheet restraining or retarding element has a friction surface that faces towards a sheet feeding plane defined by the upper side of the belt (8). The friction surface and the feed plane define therebetween a feed opening whose gape decreases in the feed direction. According to the invention, the feed belt (2) runs on a rigid and flat belt support (1) which extends along the greater part of the sheet feed opening in the sheet transporting direction. This provides simple and reliable feeding of sheets one by one, even when the thickness of the sheets varies.

In an apparatus (1) for consecutively processing sheet-like record carriers (10), comprising a holder (10) for holding a stack (11) of record carriers (10) and a separating device (15) for separating the currently outermost record carrier (10a), which device comprises at least one separating roller (19) and a holdback member (23) with a holdback surface (24) for retaining all the record carriers of the stack except for the outermost record carrier (10a), the holdback member (23) comprises a wedge-like portion (66) made of a non-elastic material and having a bounding edge (67) with which the wedge-like portion (66) can be brought into contact with the circumferential surface (20) of the separating roller (19), and the holdback surface (24) of the holdback member (23) bounds the wedge-like portion (66) and terminates at the bounding edge (67).

An automatic paper feeding device for a document inputting device includes a pick roller (20), separating pads (68) each adapted to be brought into contact with the pick roller (20), a first pair of pick springs (58) and a pick spring (60). The first pair of pick springs (58) are disposed upstream the second pick spring (60) when viewed in a direction in which paper is carried. The first pair of pick springs (58) are disposed in areas widthwise outside the separating pads (68) in the axial direction of the roller, and the second pick spring (60) is disposed at the widthwise central position between the separating pads (68). The first and second pick springs (58, 60) are formed from a metal sheet integrally with each other as a spring unit, and the contact force of the first pair of pick springs (58) disposed upstream with the pick roller (20) is made smaller than that of the second pick spring (60) disposed downstream. The separating pads (68) are formed as a pad unit by branching a web (70) of a rubber sheet into a fork shape. The spring unit and the pad unit are supported together by means of a bracket (76) and presser member (78).
摘要:
A document handling system particularly suitable for electronic imaging by sequentially feeding uppermost document sheets (18) stacked in an input tray (20) to be imaged in forward serial order at an imaging station (16) and restacked collated in an output tray (22), with a short and compact "U" shaped common document feeding path also providing the majority of a duplex document feeding path (24) for returning duplex document sheets imaged on their first sides back to the imaging station for imaging their second sides. The input and output trays are in a space saving closely superposed relationship defining a protective confining inverter chute space therebetween within which the duplex document sheets may be fed out over the output tray by a dual mode reversible output sheet feeder at the "U" shaped path output and then reversed to feed back through a short linear duplex document feeding path into the entrance of the same "U" shaped document sheet feeding path for simplex document sheets to provide a duplex loop path.
摘要:
A multiple-function printing device provides for picking pages from a stack of sheets in a sheet feeder for roller-driven movement along a first path through a printing station to an output stacker, and for picking pages from a stack of documents in a document feeder for roller-driven movement along a second path through a scanning station to the output stacker, with at least a portion of the first and second paths being commonly shared, the scanning station being underneath the commonly shared path, and with common mechanisms including a first pick and second pick for picking from the document and sheet pages, providing roller-driven movement through the processing stations. A media chassis is provided, including an integral platen, with integral spaced side walls which rotatively mount each of picks on and between at least one of the side walls. A prescan drive roller, a fixed deflector and a gear train are attached to a side wall of the chassis, the latter for driving the respective picks.
