This invention relates to a sheet feeding apparatus having sheet carrying device unit for carrying sheets suspended by suspending unit, which is taken up by winding unit and thereby moves the sheet carrying device up and down to render the sheets fed from the topmost side of the sheets. Connection positions between the suspending unit and the sheet carrying device are located, in a direction perpendicular to a feeding direction of the sheets, at positions on a side of the sheet reference which is one end in the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the sheets, closer to the center of the sheets with respect to a position of a suspending original point of the suspending unit located over the sheet carrying device. The other connection positions between the suspending unit and the sheet carrying device are located, in a direction perpendicular to a feeding direction of the sheets, at a position on a side opposite to the side of the sheet reference, remote from the center of the sheets with respect to a position of a suspending original point of the suspending unit located over the sheet carrying device.

The present invention related to a sheet conveying apparatus comprising a first unit, a second unit and a guide member. The first unit includes a first sheet conveyance route, a second sheet conveyance route, a first delivery opening for delivering, from the first unit, a sheet or sheets from the first sheet conveyance route, and a second delivery opening for delivering, from the second unit, a sheet or sheets from the second sheet conveyance route. The second unit is positioned with a space to the first unit, the second unit having a third sheet conveyance route, and a single introduction opening for introducing, to the third sheet conveyance route, a sheet or sheets delivered from the first delivery opening and the second delivery opening. At least a part of the guide member is disposed at a space between the first unit and the second unit, having a first guide surface for guiding the sheet or sheets from the first delivery opening to the introduction opening, and a second guide surface for guiding the sheet or sheets from the second delivery opening to the introduction opening.

A sheet conveying apparatus including: a sheet conveying path through which a sheet is conveyed; a sensor unit configured to output a signal according to a characteristic of the sheet which is conveyed through the sheet conveying path; a pressure unit configured to press the sheet against the sensor unit; and a moving member protruding into the sheet conveying path, the moving member being moved by being pushed by the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path, wherein the pressure unit is interlocked with the moving member so that the sheet is pressed by the pressure unit against the sensor unit when the moving member is not pushed by the sheet, and a pressure force on the sheet applied by the pressure unit is released or reduced when the moving member is pushed by the sheet.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a sheet processing apparatus for passing sheets between an upper jaw and a lower jaw of a binder that is fixed on a intermediate stacking portion and stapling the ends of the sheet, wherein binding processing is possible for a large number of sheets and the problems of paper jams due to inclining or poor alignment are solved and which has a small size, is low in cost and is highly reliable. In order to achieve the above object, a typical configuration of the sheet processing apparatus of the present invention comprises: a conveyance portion which conveys sheets; an intermediate stacking portion which temporarily stacks sheets conveyed from the conveyance portion; and a binder which performs a binding process for binding the sheets stacked in the intermediate stacking portion, and the binder is fixed at one side of the intermediate stacking portion and the sheet which is conveyed from the conveyance portion passes the opening of the binder and is stacked in the intermediate stacking portion; the conveyance portion comprises a plurality of drive rollers in the direction that intersects the conveyance direction; and the drive rollers other than the drive roller that is closest to the binder form conveyance roller pairs with driven rollers.
