A sheet feeder includes a roller configured to feed a plurality of sheets one by one in a sheet feeding direction to a feed path, and a motor configured to drive the roller. The sheet feeder also includes a drive transmission mechanism configured to transmit a driving force from the motor to the roller, and the drive transmission includes a clutch configured to enable the roller to rotate within a predetermined range of rotation in the sheet feeding direction during an idle condition. Moreover, the sheet feeder includes a return mechanism configured to enable the roller to rotate within the predetermined range of rotation in a direction that is opposite to the sheet feeding direction.

An image forming apparatus includes an upper body, an image reading device that is mounted in the upper body, a lower body that is placed under the upper body, an image forming device that is mounted in the lower body, a hinge member that connects the upper body and the lower body, at least one groove that is formed on the lower body, at least one link member that is connected to the upper body at one end and connected to the groove at the other end, and at least one elastic member that is connected to the lower body at one end and the link member at the other end. The groove has a first range where a moment to pivot the upper body to the close position is generated.

There is disclosed an image reading apparatus which comprises a document feeder, a reading unit, and a guide device. The document feeder includes a feeder roller and feeds a document sheet with an image thereon, along an outer circumferential surface of the feeder roller. The reading unit has a reading surface opposed to the outer circumferential surface of the feeder roller, and reads, at a reading position, the image on the document sheet being fed. The guide device has a guide surface, and is disposed to be opposed to the reading surface of the reading unit, so as to guide the document sheet along the guide surface to the reading position. The outer circumferential surface of the feeder roller, and at least an opposed portion of the guide surface at which the guide surface is opposed to the reading surface, have a substantially same color.

A sheet feeding device is formed with a sheet mounting part, and a sheet feeding unit defining a sheet feed path having inlet and outlet. The sheet feeding unit is configured to introduce the sheet on the sheet mounting surface from the inlet, feed the sheet along the feed path, and discharge the sheet from the outlet onto the sheet mounting part. The sheet mounting part includes first and second members arranged next to each other. The first and second members with a border therebetween define a sheet mounting surface. An end portion of one of the first and second members has one or more protruded portions, while an end portion of the other member has one or more slits configured to receive the one or more protruded portions. An upper surface of the one member is located at a higher position than the upper surface of the other member.

An image processing apparatus includes a cover configured to be movable between a first position, in which the top of the main body is covered, and a second position, in which the top of the main body is exposed; a supporting member configured to vertically move with respect to the main body so that the rotation center of the cover is moved between an ascent position and a descent position; a cam configured to rotate together with the cover such that a cam surface abuts on the main body, thereby vertically moving the supporting member, wherein the cam has a shape to displace the rotation center to the descent position when then the cover rotates to the first position and to displace the rotation center to the ascent position when the cover rotates to the second position so that interference of the cover is suppressed.

An image reading device includes a conveyor unit that conveys a document along a conveying path for ADF-type image scanning including a curved path. The conveyor unit includes a conveyor roller that reverses a conveying direction of the document in the curved path. The device further includes a first contact surface that comes into contact with a first side of the document when the document is conveyed, a second contact surface that comes into contact with a second side of the document when the document is conveyed, a first reading unit that reads an image on the first side of the document, and a second reading unit disposed above the second contact surface and reading an image on the second side of the document. A part of the conveyor roller is disposed lower than the first and second contact surfaces in an up down direction of the image reading device.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus including a recording head, a feeding mechanism feeding a recording medium such that a second surface is opposed to the head, a first-area determining portion determining a first area, a second-area determining portion determining a second area, a contact-position determining portion determining a contact position on a first surface at which position a roller contacts the first surface, a feed controller capable of controlling feeding of the medium such that where the second surface is opposed to the head, the recording on the second surface is implemented with the second area skipped, and a judging portion determining whether the contact position is included in the first area at the moment of initiation of a skip operation. The feed controller controls an acceleration or a speed at which the medium is fed in the skip operation, on the basis of the determination made by the judging portion.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus which records images on front and back surfaces of a sheet, including: a head which ejects ink onto the sheet for recording; a sheet-supply roller which contacts the sheet to transfer the sheet for supplying to the head; sheet-transfer rollers which are disposed on a downstream side of the head so as to be rotatable forwardly and reversely, and which transfer the sheet passed through the head while nipping the sheet, toward an outside of the image recording apparatus when forwardly rotated or toward the sheet-supply roller when reversely rotated such that the sheet is permitted to be again supplied to the head by the sheet-supply roller; a sheet-return path which is branched from a connecting path that connects the sheet-transfer rollers and the head so as to extend toward the sheet-supply roller, and through which the sheet is transferred toward the sheet-supply roller by the reverse rotations; and a roller-driving control section which drives the sheet-transfer rollers and the sheet-supply roller such that the sheet is transferred through the sheet-return path in a state in which the sheet is warped.
摘要:
A sheet accommodating device including: a tray configured to accommodate a sheet; and a pressing member configured to press the sheet accommodated in the tray, wherein the pressing member includes a guide portion configured to guide, where the sheet accommodated in the tray is transferred, the transferred sheet toward a downstream side in a sheet transferring direction in which the sheet is transferred.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus includes an image recording unit that records an image on a recording medium; a supply unit that supplies a recording medium to the image recording unit; a discharging unit that discharges the recording medium having the image recorded thereon to an outside of the image recording apparatus; and a control unit having a circuit board that controls a driving of the image recording unit. The control unit is in alignment with the image recording unit at at least one of an upper side of the supply unit and the discharge unit within a height of the located image recording unit.
