The present invention provides a sheet supply apparatus comprising a lifter device for maintaining a height of an upper surface of a sheet stack supported by a sheet supporting device substantially constant by lifting or lowering the sheet supporting device, and a supply device for feeding out an uppermost sheet from the sheet stack maintained in a constant height position by the lifter device, and wherein the lifter device comprises a clutch member for transmitting a predetermined amount of rotation from a drive gear, a rock member for rocking a ratchet pawl by the rotation transmitted by the clutch member, a ratchet gear engageable by the ratchet pawl and rotated by a rocking movement of the ratchet pawl, a lifter member connected to the ratchet gear and adapted to lift the sheet supporting member by rotation of the ratchet gear, and an actuation device shifted in accordance with the height of the upper surface of the sheet stack rested on the sheet supporting device and adapted to actuate the clutch member when the height of the upper surface of the sheet stack is below a predetermined height.
摘要:
A sheet conveying apparatus including a conveying path changing device, the conveying path changing device having a main conveying path for conveying a sheet, a plurality of branched paths branched from the main conveying path, a plurality of oscillatable flappers for selecting between a changed position where the sheet is guided from the main conveying path to one of the branched paths and a retracted position permitting passage of the sheet, a single solenoid for oscillating the plurality of flappers, a single link for connecting the solenoid and the flappers, and a sensor confirming movements of the flapper by detecting a movement of the link.
摘要:
A sheet treating apparatus has a discharging device for discharging a sheet with an image formed thereon to a sheet stacking device, the stacking device having an abutment reference member disposed on the leading end side of the sheet stacking device and an urging member disposed on a sheet trailing end side of the sheet stacking device for urging the sheet discharged from the discharging device toward the abutment reference member.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a sheet processing apparatus comprising an intermediate staking portion for aligning a sheet sent, a reference wall for positioning the sheet, a stapler form performing a binding operation with respect to a sheet bundle aligned by the reference wall, delivery means for delivering the sheet bundle from the intermediate stacking portion, a sheet stacking portion for stacking the sheet bundle and guide means provided above the sheet stacking portion and at an end portion on the stapler side of the end portions in the width direction of the sheet. The guide means supports an end portion on the stapler side of the sheet bundle when the sheet bundle is delivered from the delivery means in a staple mode in which the binding operation is preformed with respect to the sheet bundled.
摘要:
A sheet processing apparatus including a stacking portion for stacking sheets, an alignment reference wall disposed in approximately parallel with a conveying direction of the sheet, an alignment moving wall for performing alignment by making an end portion of the sheet hit with the alignment reference wall, a processing mechanical section for carrying out binding with respect to the sheet bundle thus aligned, and a plurality of rotating pairs disposed in a widthwise direction approximately perpendicular to the conveying direction of the sheet for conveying the sheet bundle in a pinching manner. The sheet processing apparatus is capable of performing a process such as binding in the processing mechanical section after the sheet bundle which has been aligned by the alignment reference wall and the alignment moving wall is conveyed by a predetermined distance by the rotating pairs, and it is characterized in that each of the plurality of the rotating pairs disposed in the sheet widthwise direction has a pressure different from that of other rotating pairs for pinching the sheet.
摘要:
This invention relates to a sheet fastening apparatus comprising sheet bundle conveying means for conveying sheet bundles and sheet bundle fastening means for fastening sheet bundles. The sheet bundle fastening means is disposed on either side, of the sheet bundle, extending substantially parallel in a sheet conveyance direction and fastens the sheet bundle at least at a position upon stop of conveyance of the sheet bundle by the sheet bundle conveying means.
摘要:
A sheet receiving/stacking device, which has a sheet stacking portion for stacking sheets, a sheet conveying portion for conveying sheets to the sheet stacking portion, and a retractable sheet guiding portion for catching the bottom surface of a sheet and then guiding the sheet to the sheet stacking portion. The sheet guiding portion is moveable between a guide position and a retracted position.

An image reader includes a first image-reader unit, mounted on a body of the image reader, for reading image information of an original document on a first image-reader section, a closing unit which is openably supported on the body of the image reader through a closing device, a second image-reader unit, mounted on the closing unit, for reading image information of an original on a second image-reader section, and a closed-state detector for detecting a closed state of the closing unit. The closed-state detector includes a photoemitter, a photodetector, and a light-blocking unit which blocks a light beam traveling from the photoemitter to the photodetector, by moving in operative association with the opening and closing operation of the closing unit.
