摘要:
A recording sheet transport device having a transport path having a curvature includes a multifeed detector and an orientation stabilizing device. The multifeed detector detects a multifeed state in which two or more recording sheets are superposed on one another while the two or more recording sheets are being transported. The orientation stabilizing device stabilizes an orientation of parts of the two or more recording sheets, at which the multifeed state is detected by the multifeed detector, relative to the multifeed detector.

An image forming apparatus having a transport device including a pair of timing rollers, operable to cause a leading edge of a recording sheet to abut a nip portion of the non-rotating timing rollers, and then initiate rotation to transport the sheet toward a transfer position, the transport device comprising: a motor transmitting rotational force to the timing rollers via a power transmission mechanism such that the timing rollers rotate; and a control unit controlling motor rotation, wherein the control unit activates the motor, causes the timing rollers to transport a first recording sheet at a first speed, and stops the motor once transportation is complete, and when a second recording sheet is to be subsequently transported at a different second speed, the control unit causes the timing rollers to execute an idle rotation at the second speed or at another speed, and then stopping, before beginning second sheet transportation.

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for aligning a bill supplied to a transfer path with a center line of the transfer path. The apparatus includes a fixed support unit which moves a bill in a transfer direction of the transfer path, a movable support unit which is disposed in succession to the fixed support unit and is provided so as to be movable in a lateral direction of the transfer path, a bill position sensor which senses the position of the bill that moves on the fixed support unit and the movable support unit, and a controller which is controls a lateral displacement of the movable support unit in response to information about the position of the bill, thus aligning the bill with the center line.

A sheet conveying device (30) includes a plurality of first conveyance rollers (31) and a plurality of second conveyance rollers (32). The sheet conveying device (30) includes stiffening rollers (34). The stiffening rollers (34) are disposed coaxially with at least one conveyance rollers (32) among the first and second conveyance rollers (31) and (32), and have diameters larger than diameters of the conveyance rollers (32). The stiffening rollers (34) includes first stiffening rollers (34a), which apply conveying forces to a sheet (P), and second stiffening rollers (34b), which apply smaller conveying forces to the sheet (P) than the conveying forces to the sheet (P) in the first stiffening rollers (34a).

A sheet feeder is provided that includes a driving roller, a driven roller configured to rotate in accordance with rotation of the driving roller and feed a sheet while pinching the sheet with the driving roller, an elastic shaft inserted through the driven roller and configured to rotatably support the driven roller, the elastic shaft including a protrusion formed on at least one end of the elastic shaft in an axial direction of the elastic shaft, the protrusion protruding outward in a radial direction of the driven roller, and two recess-shaped bearings configured to support two end portions of the elastic shaft in the axial direction, respectively, at least one of the bearings including a contact surface configured to contact the protrusion when the elastic shaft is supported by the bearings.
摘要:
An apparatus for launching sheets such as paper money. The apparatus includes an upper housing and a lower housing detachably coupled to the upper housing. The apparatus includes a feed assembly, mounted to an interior space of the lower housing, and the feed assembly includes a plate with a planar upper surface for receiving the sheets and at least one spring element applying a spring force upon the plate to urge the planar upper surface toward the upper housing. The apparatus also includes an ejection assembly, supported within an interior space of the upper housing, adapted to sequentially eject the sheets from an opening in the upper housing or the lower housing. The ejection assembly includes an electric motor and a battery selectively powering the electric motor. Spaced apart wheels are provided on an axle driven by the motor to eject the sheets a distance of one to three feet.
