Abstract:
Included are an output member including a coupling allowed to be engaged with a unit; an input member; an input-side engagement member; an output-side engagement member allowed to be engaged with the input-side engagement member; an elastic member urging the input-side engagement member toward the output-side engagement member; and a disengagement member which moves the input-side engagement member at an engaged position, at which engagement with the output-side engagement member is allowed, to a disengaged position at which engagement with the output-side engagement member is released. In each of a state where the input-side engagement member is at the engaged position and a state where the input-side engagement member is at the disengaged position, a space is formed in which the output-side engagement member is allowed to move in the shaft direction when the output member is pressed to the shaft direction.
Abstract:
A transfer unit includes a reading unit to read an image on a sheet conveyed along a conveyance path, a first signal transmission member having a flat shape and is connected to the reading unit, and a relay member connected to the first signal transmission member. The relay member relays a signal from the first signal transmission member, and a second signal transmission member having a round shape and is connected to the relay member. The second signal transmission member leads into an apparatus body from an inner portion of the transfer unit in an axial direction of a first rotation shaft.
Abstract:
A drive transmission device includes: a first rotating member that rotates with driving power received from a driving source, a second rotating member that rotates with driving power from the first rotating member, and a driving-side engagement member and a driven-side engagement member for transmitting the driving power of the first rotating member to the second rotating member, wherein the driving-side engagement member and the driven-side engagement member engage with each other in a state in which the first rotating member is rotating whereby a power applying portion and a power receiving portion engage with each other while resisting against a second biasing power.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a main assembly including an image forming portion; a rotatable member capable of feeding a sheet and configured to rotate; and a detecting unit including an interrelating member configured to rotate in interrelation with rotation of the rotatable member, a detecting member configured to detect rotation of the interrelating member, and a holding member configured to integrally hold the interrelating member and the detecting member. The interrelating member, the detecting member and the holding member are integrally assembled into a unit. The detecting unit is detachably mountable to the main assembly.
Abstract:
The conveyance apparatus includes a first engaging portion of a first planetary gear unit and a second engaging portion of a second planetary gear unit, and a stopping member movable to a first stop position to stop a first engaged gear, and to a second stop position to stop a second engagement gear, in which a pivot fulcrum of the stopping member is arranged at an intersection between an extension line of a vector of a force that the first engaging portion receives from the first engaged portion under a state in which the stopping member is at the first stop position, and an extension line of a vector of a force that the second engaging portion receives from the second engaged portion under a state in which the stopping member is at the second stop position.

Abstract:
An image forming unit forms an image on a sheet. The sheet is conveyed through a conveyance path after the image has been formed on the sheet. A reading unit reads the image formed on the sheet in the conveyance path. A conveyance guide constitutes a portion of the conveyance path and guides the sheet. A pressing unit presses the reading unit against the sheet. A connection unit connects the reading unit and the conveyance guide such that the reading unit and the conveyance guide move in an interlocked manner.
Abstract:
An elastic force of an elastic member 11 required for rotating a driven rotational body 8b is decreased.A first rotational body 8d and a second rotational body 9a arranged downstream of a driven rotational body 8b in a drive train that transmits a driving force from a driving rotational body 7 to a driven member 4 are included. The first rotational body 8d rotates in synchronization with the driven rotational body 8b. The second rotational body 9a is rotated by the first rotational body 8d and rotates the driven member 4. The first rotational body 8d rotates without rotating the second rotational body 9a when the driven rotational body 8b rotates by an elastic force of an elastic member 11.
Abstract:
A drive transmission device includes: a first rotating member that rotates with driving power received from a driving source, a second rotating member that rotates with driving power from the first rotating member, and a driving-side engagement member and a driven-side engagement member for transmitting the driving power of the first rotating member to the second rotating member, wherein the driving-side engagement member and the driven-side engagement member engage with each other in a state in which the first rotating member is rotating whereby a power applying portion and a power receiving portion engage with each other while resisting against a second biasing power.
Abstract:
Provided is a sheet conveying apparatus including: a pair of rollers which includes an upper roller and a lower roller and conveys a sheet in a nipping manner; a driving unit which independently drives the upper roller and the lower roller; a conveying unit which is disposed at the upstream of the pair of rollers in the sheet conveying direction and conveys the sheet to the pair of rollers; an overlapping unit which is provided between the pair of rollers and the conveying unit and overlaps a subsequent sheet on a precedent sheet in the conveying direction; and a control unit which controls the driving unit, wherein the control unit controls the driving unit so that: the upper roller and the lower roller are driven before a leading end of the precedent sheet conveyed by the conveying unit reaches the pair of rollers and the driving of the upper roller and the lower roller is stopped before a tail end of the precedent sheet passes the pair of rollers; the pair of rollers is driven again before a leading end of the subsequent sheet conveyed by the conveying unit and overlapped on the precedent sheet nipped by the pair of rollers reaches the pair of rollers and only the upper roller is driven so as to convey the subsequent sheet to the downstream in the conveying direction after the leading end of the subsequent sheet conveyed by the conveying unit reaches the pair of rollers; and the upper roller and the lower roller are driven so as to convey the precedent sheet and the subsequent sheet overlapped on the precedent sheet to the downstream in the conveying direction.
