The heat fixing device further includes a cleaning member having a brush part that rubs to clean the surface of the rubbing member.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device configured to move a separation plate cleaning member disposed in a separation plate forward and backward in a longitudinal direction of the separation plate, to remove a foreign matter such as toner deposited on the separation plate, paper dust or carrier, thereby preventing an abnormal image with stain or vertical stripes, and to provide an image forming device.SOLUTION: A fixing device has a function of conveying a recording medium P with unfixed toner carried thereon to a nip part n formed by a rotating fixing member 81 with heating mean 831 and a rotating pressure member 83 pressed by the fixing member, to fix a toner image on the recording medium. The fixing device includes: a separation plate 41 for separating the recording medium to be conveyed from the nip part from the fixing member; a separation plate cleaning member 43 disposed at one longitudinal end of the separation plate 41; a separation plate cleaning member operation mechanism 44 for moving the separation plate cleaning member forward and backward in a longitudinal direction of the separation plate; and control means 90 for controlling motion of the separation plate cleaning member at a predetermined timing via the separation plate cleaning member operation mechanism.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an appropriate temperature distribution in a width direction of a recording medium.SOLUTION: A fixing device 20 includes a heating roller 21 heated by induction heating means 30, a fixing roller 22, a fixing belt 24 stretched on the heating roller 21 and the fixing roller 22, and a pressurizing roller 23 forming a nip between itself and the fixing roller 22. The induction heating means 30 includes: a plurality of exciting coils 31a, 31b that are concentric to each other and have different lengths in an axial direction of the heating roller 21; a resonance circuit 35 for supplying an alternating current to the exciting coils 31a, 31b; and a switching circuit 34 for switching a connection state between the resonance circuit 35 and one exciting coil of the plurality of exciting coils 31a, 31b.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet pasting device capable of pasting sheet materials to each other without forming air bubbles between the sheet materials. SOLUTION: A pasting means is provided to paste a second sheet material S2, which is formed with an adhesive layer on one surface thereof, to a first sheet material, which is conveyed at a constant speed, through the adhesive layer by supplying the second sheet materials S2, obliquely crossing the first sheet material S1 at a required angle. The second sheet material is accelerated from the state of stopping so as to be brought in contact with the first sheet material at a speed lower than that of the first sheet material.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet material cutting device capable of easily/securely forming a sheet with aligned edges of sheet materials having a picture excellent in gloss and texture, and an image forming device equipped with the same. SOLUTION: An upper blade part 38 and a lower blade part 39 facing to each other are arranged so as to make their blade part edges 38a, 39a face to an upper surface 200a and a lower surface 200b of a pasted sheet material 200. At the time of cutting, the upper blade part 38 and the lower blade part 39 are vertically moved, and these blade part edges 38a, 39a cut the pasted sheet material 200 applying equal forces from the both sides of the sheet material, which makes displacement of layers smaller compared with a conventional method of cutting the three layers of the image sheet (pasted sheet material) 200 with one blade, which can reduce stress generated in toner of an intermediate layer. Cracks of the image and stripping of the sheet are suppressed to obtain a photo-like image with beautiful edges. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for obtaining an image excellent in preservability and having a photographic tone with a simple configuration. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus provided with a conveying path conveying a recording medium and an image forming section forming an image on the recording medium is provided with: an image selecting section which selects an original image or an image obtained by reversing the original image to be formed on the recording medium; an image control section which changes the toner adhesion amount of the same image on the recording medium, according to the image selected by the image selecting section; and further a recording medium selecting section which selects a non-transparent recording medium 91 or a transparent recording medium 101 to be conveyed into the conveying path. The image selecting section selects the original image, when the recording medium selecting section selects the non-transparent recording medium 91 and selects the image obtained by reversing the original image, when the recording medium selecting section selects the transparent recording medium 101. The image control section reduces the toner adhesion amount of the same image, when the recording medium selecting section selects the transparent recording medium 101. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image display medium forming method capable of eliminating the obstruction factor of glossiness caused by the irregular reflection in tone without increasing cost. SOLUTION: When a fixed toner image is again heated in the state held between a transparent medium and an opaque medium, a heating condition for more accelerating the melting and softening of the toner image on the side of the opaque medium than that of the toner image on the side of the transparent medium is used not only to breaking bubbles, which are positioned at the boundary part of the transparent medium and the toner image opposed thereto to finely divide them but also to make it easy to move the bubbles positioned at the boundary part toward the opaque medium to prevent the occurrence of irregular reflection in a case that the bubbles are present at the boundary position of the transparent medium and the toner image opposed thereto.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet adhering apparatus capable of adhering mutual sheets, without making bubbles intrude between the sheet and the sheet. SOLUTION: This sheet adhering apparatus has a transfer part 2 transferring a first sheet composed of a transparent sheet S1 of recording, for example, a toner image, and a delivery part 3 obliquely delivering a second sheet composed of an opaque sheet S2 having, for example, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer toward the transfer direction of the first sheet to be stickable to the first sheet transferring by its transfer part 2. The transfer part 2 and the delivery part 3 are constituted so that an adhering angle gradually becomes large, by imparting a speed difference such as a transfer speed of the second sheet becomes larger in a speed than a transfer speed of the first sheet.
