The plurality of gears composes a part of a gear train transmitting a rotational force from a main driving part to a rotational element within an apparatus body. The gear case is provided attachably to/detachably from an attachment part defined from a lower surface or aback surface of the apparatus body to inside of the apparatus body while rotatably supporting the plurality of gears. The gear case includes a hook part, a fitting part and a fixing part. The hook part is hooked with a hooked part provided within the attachment part. The fitting part is fitted with a fitted part provided within the attachment part. The fixing part is fixed to the apparatus body through a fastening member.
Abstract:
A drive transmission mechanism includes an electromagnetic clutch and a drive output gear. The electromagnetic clutch includes a clutch shaft, a clutch input gear, a clutch idler gear, and a clutch output gear. The drive transmission mechanism transmits driving power using a first drive transmission path or a second drive transmission path. The first drive transmission path includes the clutch idler gear, a first idler gear, and a first output gear unit to transmit driving power to a rotated member connected to a first output gear unit irrespective of the energizing or the non-energizing an electromagnetic clutch. The second drive transmission path includes the clutch output gear, a second idler gear, and a second output gear unit to transmit driving power to a rotated member connected to the second output gear unit only when the electromagnetic clutch is energized.
Abstract:
A sheet conveying device is provided with a housing including a contact portion, a sheet conveyance path, a drive roller, a driven roller, and a support member. The driven roller is made of a resin material, and is provided with a roller portion, and a pair of shaft portions. The support member is made of a metal material and rotatably supports the driven roller. The support member includes a pair of ring portions through which each of the shaft portions is inserted, and a pair of arm portions extending in one direction from the paired ring portions and supported on the housing. The driven roller is rotated with the drive roller in a state that a downstream outer portion of the ring portion in the conveying direction is contacted with the contact portion of the housing.
Abstract:
Tension rollers are each supported by, at one end regarding the axial direction thereof, a first supporting member fastened to a first tensional force adjusting member by fastening members and, at the other end regarding the axial direction thereof, a second supporting member fastened to a second tensional force adjusting member by fastening members. The first and second supporting members each include elongate insertion holes as insertion holes in which the fastening members are inserted. The first and second tensional force adjusting members each include elongate insertion holes as insertion holes in which the fastening members are inserted. The elongate insertion holes each extend in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the tension roller.
Abstract:
A conveying device includes a controller configured to control conveyance of a workpiece. The controller includes a first calculator configured to calculate a first roll estimated radius of a first roll varied as a first support shaft rotates. The controller further includes a second calculator configured to calculate a second roll estimated radius of a second roll varied as a second support shaft rotates. The controller also includes a first support shaft drive controller configured to cause a first support shaft driving motor to rotary drive at a first angular velocity according to the first roll estimated radius. The controller further includes a second support shaft drive controller configured to cause a second support shaft driving motor to rotary drive at a second angular velocity according to the second roll estimated radius.

Abstract:
A liquid supply unit includes a first chamber, a second chamber, an opening/closing member, a biasing member, a pressing member and a flexible film member. The first chamber communicates with a liquid storage container, and the second chamber communicates with a liquid injection head. The opening/closing member changes a posture between a closing posture for closing a communication opening and an opening posture for opening it. The biasing member biases the opening/closing member in a direction toward the closing posture. The pressing member presses the opening/closing member in a direction toward the opening posture. The flexible film member is displaced based on a negative pressure generated in the second chamber. When a pressure receiving portion of the pressing member receives the displacement force from the flexible film member, the pressing member rotates about a pivot point and presses the opening/closing member against a biasing force of the biasing member.
Abstract:
A liquid supply unit includes a first chamber, a second chamber, a wall portion, an opening/closing member, a flexible film member and a transmitting member. The wall portion includes a communication opening allowing communication between the first chamber and the second chamber. The opening/closing member changes a posture between a closing posture for closing the communication opening from the second chamber side and an opening posture. The flexible film member is displaced based on a pressure change of the second chamber. The transmitting member transmits a displacement force to the opening/closing member to be the opening posture when the second chamber is set to a negative pressure exceeding a predetermined threshold value, and transmits the displacement force to the opening/closing member to be the closing posture according to a displacement of the flexible film member when the second chamber is pressurized.
Abstract:
A gear is provided that is capable of suppressing a decrease in strength at a weld line. The gear (40) is provided with a cylindrical boss (41) that is formed at a center portion, a rim (42) that is formed on an outer side in a radial direction of the boss concentrically with the boss and has a tooth portion (42a) at an outer circumferential portion thereof, and a web (43) that links the boss and the rim. In the web, a plurality of gate marks (43a) are formed. Furthermore, in the web, there are provided a plurality of first radial direction ribs (43b) that extend from the boss to the outer side in the radial direction along a weld line (40a) that appears between adjacent ones of the gate marks.
