| 271229000 | With means to retard sheet before alignment | 10 |
| 20090008870 | Device for braking flat products and corresponding folder - This device for braking a flat product, in particular a signature, has a support, a brake shoe for braking the flat product, the brake shoe being movable between a position allowing the passage of the flat product and a position effecting braking of the flat product, and a drive for driving the brake shoe from the passing position towards the braking position. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090189338 | DE-SKEW MECHANISM - A de-skew mechanism includes a driving shaft installed on a frame of an image forming device and driven by a motor, an active roller installed on the driving shaft and driven by the driving shaft, and an idle roller driven by the active roller for driving a medium with the active roller. A nip is formed between the active roller and the idle roller. The de-skew mechanism further includes a correcting member installed on the driving shaft in a rotatable manner and located upstream of the nip for correcting skew of the medium in a correcting position, and a restoring member connected to the correcting member for loading torque to the correcting member so as to drive the connecting member from the correcting position to a releasing position where the medium pass therethrough. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090267292 | SHEET CONVEYING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Positioning in the width direction of a sheet is performed by a skew correcting unit which is provided on a re-conveying path for reversing the sheet and conveying it again to an image forming unit and which has a reference surface that is come into contact with a side edge of the sheet and a plurality of diagonal feed units which obliquely convey the sheet so as to be come into contact with the reference surface. The pressures in nip portions of the other diagonal feed units excluding one of the plural diagonal feed units are reduced or cancelled by a reducing/cancelling unit according to a length in the sheet conveying direction of the sheet which is conveyed. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090295077 | TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A transport device includes: a positioning member provided in a sheet transport path, used for positioning of a print sheet in a direction orthogonal to a sheet transport direction; and a skewed roller that transports the print sheet while skewing the print sheet toward a direction of the positioning member, a transport roller being provided in a position different from the skewed roller in the sheet transport direction. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090302528 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a registration roller and a control portion. The registration roller is disposed on an upstream side of an image forming portion in a sheet conveying direction to convey a sheet to the image forming portion. The control portion controls to convey the sheet toward the registration roller at predetermined timing after temporarily stopping the sheet at a plurality of stop positions. The plurality of stop positions is set on an upstream side of the registration roller in the sheet conveying direction. The control portion conveys the sheet at predetermined timing from one of the plurality of stop positions when the plurality of sheets is continuously conveyed to the image forming portion. One of the plurality of stop positions does not become continuously identical. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20120133094 | SHEET-CONVEYING APPARATUS AND IMAGE-READING APPARATUS - Provided is a sheet-conveying apparatus including: a skew-feeding correction member having an abutting portion which is brought into contact with a conveyed sheet; and a positioning portion positioning the skew-feeding correction member and having a biasing member for biasing the skew-feeding correction member to a direction opposite to a direction to which the skew-feeding correction member rotates by the sheet. The sheet-conveying apparatus is set so that a formula M+M| 05-31-2012 | |
| 20130285316 | SHEET CONVEYANCE APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance roller pair, a conveyance roller driving unit, a registration roller pair, a registration driving unit, a separation and press-contact unit configured to set the registration roller pair to a separated state and to a press-contact state, and a control unit. After a sheet has stopped at a stop position immediately before the registration roller pair, the registration roller pair having been set to the separated state is set to the press-contact state. The registration roller pair is rotated backward during formation of a loop in the sheet. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20140175737 | SHEET CONVEYING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet conveying apparatus including: a skew feeding correcting portion configured to correct skew feeding of a sheet, the skew feeding correcting portion including: a rotary member pair configured to convey the sheet; a shutter member configured to abut against a leading edge of a sheet being conveyed, and having a home position; and a moving member arranged with a gap formed between the moving member and the shutter member positioned in the home position, such that the shutter member is moveable independently from the home position up to a point of engagement with the moving member, when the gap is closed, and such that the moving member is movable integrally with the shutter member while the gap is closed, wherein the rotary member pair is arranged to nip a sheet during a period in which the shutter member is configured to move integrally with the moving member. | 06-26-2014 |
| 271230000 | By member moved with sheet | 2 |
| 20150014919 | SHEET CONVEYOR, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCORPORATING SAME, AND METHOD OF PREVENTING SHEET SKEW - A sheet conveyor, which is incorporated in an image forming apparatus and in which a method of preventing sheet skew is performed, includes a sheet conveying path through which a sheet is conveyed, a first conveying unit disposed in a sheet conveying direction and including a shaft extending in a lateral direction, multiple rollers fixed to the shaft along the shaft, and a rotation regulator disposed between each of the multiple rollers and the shaft to idly rotate each of the multiple rollers in a given range about the shaft, a second conveying unit disposed along the sheet conveying path and downstream from the first conveying unit in the sheet conveying direction, and a sheet abutting part provided at the second conveying unit, against which a leading edge of the sheet abuts to form a slack of the sheet to correct skew of the sheet. | 01-15-2015 |
| 271231000 | Including suction retarder | 1 |
| 20100133742 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FORMING A STREAM OF OVERLAPPING SHEETS OR STACKS OF SHEETS - An apparatus for forming a stream of overlapping sheets or stacks of sheets, includes a first transport device to deliver overlap-free sheets or stacks of sheets at a speed v | 06-03-2010 |
