摘要:
The sheet conveying unit of the present invention has a roller for conveying a sheet which contacts therewith, a supporting portion for rotatably supporting both sides of the roller, a drive motor for rotatively driving the roller, and a frame portion for holding the supporting portion and the drive motor and making them integral with each other. The rotary shaft of the roller and the rotary shaft of the drive motor are a common shaft. The rotor of the drive motor is mounted on the common shaft, and the stator of the drive motor is mounted on the frame portion.

In an image recording apparatus, a supply magazine and a receive magazine are arranged almost in a row, and a sheet transport path is formed along the periphery of both magazines. A recording sheet, which is taken out of the supply magazine, is once moved to a path whose transport resistance is small, so that the trailing edge of the recording sheet is completely out of the supply magazine. Then, a subscanning operation for image recording is performed along the path whose transport resistance is small.

A sheet carrier apparatus of the present invention includes a first and a second rotary roller member, at least one of them having a rotary driving force. The second rotary roller member is constructed so as to be able to rotate around the first rotary roller member while it is being driven by the first rotary roller member. In order to control these rollers, the sheet carrier apparatus includes a control device for selectively setting the direction in which a sheet is moved from among a plurality of directions by controlling the rotary driving of the rotary roller members while carrying a sheet and by controlling the degree of angular displacement causing the second rotary roller member to rotate around the first rotary roller member while a sheet is grasped between them.

An image recording or reading apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is provided with a non-processed sheet storage portion, a processed sheet storage portion arranged to be parallel to the non-processed sheet storage portion, a sheet processing unit for performing recording processing or reading processing of recorded information for a sheet, the sheet processing unit having an optical unit for executing optical scanning for reading or reading in a main scanning direction of the sheet, and being arranged vertically and in parallel between the non-processed and processed sheet storage portion, and a sheet feed mechanism for feeding a non-processed sheet from the non-processed sheet storage portion to the sheet processing unit, and feeding a processed sheet from the sheet processing unit to the processed sheet storage portion. The sheet processing unit executes processing on a sheet which is being picked up from the non-processed sheet storage portion by the sheet feed mechanism or on a sheet which is being stored in the processed sheet storage portion.

A recording apparatus includes a recording head for performing recording on recording paper, the recording head having three or more types of inks of different densities but of the same color. A combination of the inks used to record a pixel of a grayscale image, which is to be recorded on the recording paper, is decided based upon the pixel by a data distribution unit which refers to ink density data and combination data. Recording by the recording head is controlled, based upon the combination of inks decided, by a unit which controls the recording head and paper feed.

A heat development device for thermally developing a latent image formed on a sheet includes a sheet guide means in the form of a plate and a heating means for heating the sheet guide means. The heating means has a width more than a width of the sheet guide means and has both ends in a width direction each of which extends outwardly from a corresponding end of the sheet guide means. The heating means may preferably be divided into at least three portions which are controllable independently. The heat development device may preferably further includes a sheet pressing means for pressing the sheet against the sheet guide means. The heat development device is effective in improving a thermal distribution of the sheet guide means to provide an image having a uniform image density formed on the sheet when used in an image recording apparatus.

An ink jet recording apparatus comprises a carrier for carrying a recording medium, a head installation unit for installing a recording head to record on the recording medium by discharging ink from discharge ports while reciprocating in the width direction intersecting the carrying direction of the recording medium, a support for supporting the recording medium in a position facing the recording head, and opening portions for collecting ink discharged from the recording head at the edges of the recording medium in the width direction. With the structure thus arranged, this ink jet recording apparatus is capable of recording up to the edges of the recording medium in high quality without staining the recording medium.

A recording/reading apparatus includes a recording/reading device for recording or reading information on sheets, a suction cup for picking up an object by suction, with the suction cup having an air outlet hole, a container having an inner space that is closed except for an opening for connection with the air outlet hole. The container has a flexible portion, and the volume of the inner space is variable through deformation of the flexible portion. Also provided is a driving device for deformation-driving of the container and a hollow member for connecting the opening for connection with the air outlet hole of the suction cup.
