A conveyor includes: a slide gear and a clutch gear including a first gear and a second gear. The clutch gear includes: a first surface and a second surface provided on one of the first and second gears and facing each other; and a contact member provided on the other of the first and second gears and located between the first surface and the second surface. A controller is configured to: control a motor in a state in which the slide gear and the first gear are in mesh with each other, to rotate the clutch gear to establish a state in which the contact member is not in contact with the first surface or the second surface; and control a sliding mechanism to slide the slide gear in the state in which the contact member is not in contact with the first surface or the second surface.

A drive device includes a gear having a hole; a shaft that passes through the hole; and a grease composition that is held in a clearance between the shaft and an inner peripheral surface of the hole. The gear rotates on a peripheral surface of the shaft. At least one of the gear and the shaft is made of a resin. The clearance is in a range of 10 to 110 μm . The grease composition contains a hydrocarbon base oil and lithium soap serving as a thickener. A weight ratio of the hydrocarbon base oil to the lithium soap is in a range of 94.5:5.5 to 96.0:4.0. A consistency of the grease composition is in a range of 360 to 400.

A position recognition device of a printer includes a bracket, a platform, a positioning gear, and a base. The bracket includes a receiving shaft. The receiving shaft includes a shaft body and a gear portion mounted to the shaft body. The positioning gear is pivotally located to the platform. The positioning gear includes a gear body and a marker connected to the gear body. The gear body and the gear portion are the same size. The base is slidably mounted to the bracket. The base includes a sensor. The positioning gear is located under the sensor to be aligned with the sensor; the gear portion rotates to drive the positioning gear to rotate. The sensor senses the marker to determine an initial position of the receiving shaft for compensation.

A vacuum transport includes a segmented, rigid or solid articulated belt combined with a vacuum plenum in each segment of the belt. Using a rigid segmented belt with a vacuum plenum connected to each segmented belt section eliminates ordinarily encountered drag friction in conventional vacuum transports by reducing the force necessary to move the belt with media thereon while simultaneously improving the motion quality of the move by driving the articulated rigid belt from the top side of the belt in a flat section.

A cam mechanism includes a control cam and a control roller rolling on the control cam to produce a deflection of the control roller. The control cam and the control roller each have a respective anti-twist safeguard, protection or device interacting with each other and being constructed, for example, as a toothing system. An alignment cylinder for sheets and a sheet processing machine are also provided.

A print media bin operatively coupled to a media handling system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the print media bin includes a first tray positioned adjacent to a second tray and a media tray drive subsystem coupled to the first tray for allowing the print media bin to rotate in order to provide access to the second tray. The media tray drive subsystem includes a drive cluster gear and a tray lock, including an anti-rotation rib and a lock latch, operatively coupled to the drive cluster gear.

A media pickup system suitable for use with an imaging apparatus including a pickup assembly including at least one pickup bar having a concave channel a curved surface, and an actuator configured to move the pickup bar between a first position and a second position, wherein the pickup assembly, when the pickup bar is in the second position, is configured to selectively engage and draw a portion of a first sheet of a stack of sheets of imaging media into the concave channel to bend the first sheet to create and air channel between and to separate the first sheet from a remaining portion of the stack of sheets of imaging media.
摘要:
A device for supplying sheets including a main body; a sheet feed cassette; a lift plate; a lift plate lifter mechanism; and a drive device for the mechanism; in which a lift side coupling gear is engaged with a drive side coupling gear of the drive device when the sheet feed cassette is stored in the main body, and is displaceably supported in a direction of toward and away from with respect to the drive side coupling gear in a range where the engagement of the gears is not released.

A driving apparatus of a multi-function machine includes a scanner unit scanning data recorded on a sheet of document and a document transport part to transport the sheet of document. A printer unit prints data on a sheet of paper for an output and includes a carrier including a print head with an ink jet nozzle mounted thereon to carry out the printing operation by moving the print head. The driving apparatus includes a driving motor, a scanner driving part driving the scanner unit, a printer driving part driving the printer unit, and a power switching part disposed with the driving motor, the scanner driving part, and the printer driving part. The power switching part selectively transmits a power of the driving motor to at least one of the scanner driving part and the printer driving part.
