Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to prevent a device and media from being damaged during maintenance work.SOLUTION: In a temporary holding part 15, an operation knob 31 for rotating a drum 21 is exposed to the outside of a left side surface 20L, and a knob cover 32 is arranged on the outside of the operation knob. When an open guide 25 is in a closed state and the upper side of the drum 21 is closed in the temporary holding part 15, the knob cover 32 is set to a covering state via a stud 34 to inhibit the operation on the operation knob 31, whereby the degree of jamming of paper money can be prevented from becoming worse. When the open guide 25 is turned from the closed state in an opening direction T1 and the upper side of the drum 21 is opened in the temporary holding part 15, the knob cover 32 is turned in an exposing direction U1 into an exposed state by a function of the spring 35, whereby the drum 21 is allowed to be manually rotated by the operation of the operation knob 31 while an escape route for separated paper money BL is secured.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of suppressing clogging of recording sheets even when a tray cover is arranged at covering position.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus (laser printer 1) includes: an ejection tray 9; an ejection roller 8 that ejects a recording sheet (paper P) to the ejection tray 9; and a tray cover 10 that can be moved between a covering position for covering the upper face of the ejection tray 9 and an extension position adjacent to the upper face of the ejection tray 9. The end of the tray cover 10 on the upstream side in the ejection direction of a recording sheet is located below a nip part of the ejection roller 8 at the covering position.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous sheet processing apparatus capable of easily setting a roll body into a roll body accomodating part, and stably conveying continuous sheet drawn out from the roll body without generating an irregular movement such as lifting-up of the roll body. SOLUTION: A processing part 3 is arranged at a position above and a lateral side (right side in a figure) of the roll body accomodating part 2, and an engaging part 11a of a guide plate 11 positioned between the roll body accomodating part 2 and the processing part 3 engaging with the continuous sheet 1 is positioned so as to be biased to the opposite side (left side in the figure) of the processing part 3 with respect to the position just above the central axis of the roll body 1a, preferably to the opposite side (left side in the figure) of the processing part 3 with respect to the outermost end of the roll body 1a. By engaging the engaging part 11a of the guide plate 11 with the continuous sheet 1, the continuous sheet 1 is once guided to the opposite side (left side in the figure) of the processing part 3 with respect to straight lines L 1 and L 2 connecting a drawing out part of the roll body 1a and the processing part 3, and is then guided to the processing part 3.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely prevent paper from being left when pulling a paper feeder 4 out of an apparatus body 2.SOLUTION: A paper feeder 4 is configured to put/pull a recording material housing part 43 into/out of an apparatus body 2 of an image forming apparatus 1 comprising a paper feeding mechanism 8 for feeding out recording materials P2 in the recording material housing part 43 one by one. A lock member 405 is provided for disabling the recording material housing part 43 from being pulled out. The apparatus body 2 includes: a ride-on regulation member 802 of which the attitude can be changed into a regulated attitude proximate to a top-layer recording material P2 in the recording material housing part 43 and a retracted attitude away from the top-layer recording material P2; and an attitude change mechanism 803 for changing the ride-on regulation member 802 into the regulated attitude when the lock member 405 is brought into a free state where put-in/pull-out of the recording material housing part 43 is allowed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform switching back in a printing apparatus without separately providing a space for the switching back of printing paper, in the printing apparatus for switching back the printing paper. SOLUTION: This printing apparatus includes a paper ejection table receiving printing paper discharged from a paper ejection port by an upper surface and having a shape partially protruding from a main body and reverses front and rear sides of the printing paper by switching back the printing paper. In the printing apparatus, a space for forming a part of a conveying passage for switching back in the paper ejection table is provided. The space is covered so that the printing paper during conveying may not be taken out. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
