| 20110272878 | MEDIA PICK SYSTEM AND MEDIA PICK METHOD THEREOF - A media pick system includes a pick-up rack, a pick-up roller, a separate roller, a swing gear arm, a swing gear lever, and a part of action. While the separate roller and the swing gear arm are driven to rotate, the swing gear lever would be driven to rotate. Therefore, while the torque generated on the pick-up rack by the part of action so that the pick-up rack could be lifted up or pushed down to pick up the media. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20130113156 | FEEDER MECHANISM WITH ADJUSTABLE PICKUP HEADS - In a sheet feeder apparatus, a feeder mechanism for picking up sheets from a stack of sheets of a material includes a support bar, at least one pickup head, and an adjuster. The support bar includes cylindrical ends and an intermediate portion between the cylindrical ends. The cylindrical ends are configured to pivotally couple to control arms of the sheet feeder apparatus. The pickup heads are coupled to the intermediate portion of the support bar and an adjuster is coupled to the support bar at one of the cylindrical ends. The adjuster includes a bracket coupled to the intermediate portion of the support bar, a pivot arm selectively pivotable about the cylindrical end of the support bar, and an adjustment mechanism coupled between the bracket and the pivot arm. The adjustment mechanism pivots the support bar relative to the pivot arm to thereby tilt the pickup heads. | 05-09-2013 |

| 20090001656 | Automatic paper feeding apparatus - An automatic paper feeding apparatus used in an electronic apparatus including a tray frame, a tray body, a paper-taking roller, at least a wiggling device and a frictional roller is provided. The tray body can move into and out from the tray frame. The paper-taking roller moves the top paper by rotating along a rotating direction. The wiggling device wiggles toward the paper-taking roller from an initial position. When the paper-taking roller moves the top paper, the frictional roller faces the paper-taking roller and contacts the top paper by the same frictional surface. When the tray body moves out the tray frame, the frictional roller rotates and causes the other frictional surface of the frictional roller to face the paper-taking roller substantially. When the tray body moves into the tray frame, the wiggling device wiggles toward the paper-taking roller from the initial position and wiggles back to the initial position. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100001458 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An over-stack protective portion is provided on a stopper member. When a sheet feeding device is in a standby position, the over-stack protective portion is held in a position in which the over-stack protective portion is in pressure contact with sheets having the maximum stacking height capable of being fed and supported by a sheet supporting portion. Also, when the sheets are to be fed, the pressure contact of the over-stack protective portion with the sheets having the maximum stacking height is released. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100078876 | METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR SEPARATING OF MAGNETIC AND NON-MAGNETIC BLANKS PLACED IN A STACK - The invention relates to a method and a device to separate blanks form each other in a stack by that at least one separating unit is brought into contact with one or more of the edges of the blank stack. The separating unit comprises a separating arm having a narrow teeth provided blade, which moves first horizontally until a tooth grasps the uppermost blank, whereupon the arm having the narrow teeth provided blade controllably moves upwards and lifts one blank edge. An air knife, which acts towards the side of the blank stack in a direct connection to the point of application of the teeth provided blade, can give one or several air thrusts when the blade is starting its controlled movement upwards and is urging like an wedge in under a slit under the uppermost blank of the blank stack, an eventual existing vacuum between the blanks being disappeared at the same time as the uppermost blank of the blank stack receives a lifting force by the air cushion, created. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110298173 | PAPER TRAY OF PRINTER - A paper tray of printer is provided, which includes a paper tray body, a slide shaft, a first pick arm, a second pick arm and a paper width guide. The first pick arm is fixed on the slide shaft, and the second pick arm is slidely disposed on the slide shaft. The paper width guide is disposed on the paper tray body and is connected to the second pick arm through a linkage device to drive the second pick arm, so that a position of the second pick arm varies along with a position of the paper width guide. Accordingly, an interval between the first pick arm and the second pick arm can be varied along with a size of a paper, so as to avoid paper skew when the paper is fed. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20090256307 | SHEET SEPARATING MECHANISM OF AN AUTO SHEET FEEDER AND AUTO SHEET FEEDER INCORPORATING THE SAME - An auto sheet feeder used for a device comprises an upper frame, a pick roller and a sheet separating mechanism secured on the upper frame. The sheet separating mechanism includes a bracket and a pair of arms disposed on the bracket and spring-biased toward the pick roller. A separator pad is disposed on the bracket and spring-biased toward the pick roller. A press plate is positioned on the bracket and presses against the separator pad. A torsion spring mounted above the press plate has at least two coil portions. Two adjacent ends of the coil portions extend toward the same side and then joint each other to form a contact portion which always props the upper frame. Two ends of the torsion spring have a retaining arm respectively. The two retaining arms are opposite each other and pivotally engage to two sides of the press plate respectively. The torsion spring is compressed by the press plate when the sheets push the separator pad and pushes the press plate and the separator pad to be reposition after the lowermost one of the sheets is separated. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20090152802 | Apparatus for Pressing Flat Materials onto a Transport Module - An apparatus for pressing flat materials onto a transport module includes pressing elements acting on the flat material with a spring force through an opening in a feed table for flat materials. The feed table is mounted above a lower housing shell. The pressing elements are configured as spring elements which can be lowered and are anchored in the lower housing shell. An actuating element is disposed in an indentation of a front wall of the lower housing shell in order to actuate a lowering apparatus disposed in the lower housing shell. The lowering apparatus has a lever connected mechanically to the actuating element and a slide coupled to the lever for lowering the spring elements upon actuation of the actuating element. | 06-18-2009 |
