20090057529 | APPARATUS SUPPORTING MECHANISM, SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An apparatus supporting mechanism comprises: a fixing member | 03-05-2009 |
20090066009 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A sheet feeding apparatus includes a middle plate, a lifter mechanism, and a sheet-feed roller. The sheet-feed roller can move to a first position retracted from the sheet, a second position lower than the first position for feeding the sheet, and a third position lower than the second position. The sheet feeding apparatus has a position control mode in which when a sheet is fed, the sheet-feed roller is moved from the first position to the third position and stopped there, the middle plate is moved toward the sheet-feed roller by the lifter mechanism, the sheet stacked on the middle plate is brought into abutment against the sheet-feed roller, the middle plate is moved until a position detection sensor outputs the detection signal that the sheet-feed roller is in the second position, and a height of the sheet is controlled. | 03-12-2009 |
20100133743 | SHEET FEEDING APPARUTUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The present invention complies a side end regulating mechanism to regulate a side end position in the width direction of sheets supported by a cassette main body | 06-03-2010 |
20110006469 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - When a retard roller is rotating in a sheet feeding direction, the rotation is transmitted to a pickup roller and the pickup roller rotates in a direction for conveying the sheet. When the retard roller is rotating in a direction opposite to the sheet feeding direction or is stationary, the pickup roller does not feed the sheet. Therefore, in a successive feeding operation, the sheet to be fed next is always conveyed such that the leading end thereof reaches a nip position between a feed roller and the retard roller. Therefore, the intervals between the sheets are uniform in the successive feeding operation. | 01-13-2011 |
20110024969 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet feeding apparatus, in which a drive motor rotates a pickup roller, and a drive transmission portion provided between the drive motor and the pickup roller transmits a drive from the drive motor to the pickup roller. During sheet feeding, one of the drive motor and the drive transmission portion causes the pickup roller to perform an intermittent drive of iterating the drive and a stop, so that a sheet is gradually deflected between the pickup roller and separation claws. | 02-03-2011 |
20110024970 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet feeding apparatus including: a separation claw for restraining both end portions of leading edges of sheets in a width direction orthogonal to a sheet feeding direction, the sheets having reached a sheet feeding position, and separating, one by one, the sheets fed by a pickup roller; and a photosensor detecting that the separation claw has reached a separation position for separating the sheets when a sheet stacking board is raised to detect that the sheets have reached the sheet feeding position, in which the separation claw, which is movable in an up-and-down direction, is moved to the separation position, the photosensor detects that the sheets supported by the sheet stacking board have reached the sheet feeding position of being feedable by the pickup roller, by rise of the sheet stacking board. | 02-03-2011 |
20120248692 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet cassette includes a lock lever that engages a lock projection in an engagement portion of an stacking plate located in a lower position to enable the stacking plate to turn in a locked position in which the stacking plate is locked in a cassette body and an unlocked position in which the lock projection is separated from the engagement portion in lifting the stacking plate. In a state in which the sheet cassette is mounted on the apparatus body, the lifting and lowering device turns the lock lever to the unlocked position in lifting the stacking plate locked in the lower position by the lock lever. Accordingly, by a simple configuration in which an existing configuration can be used, a lock structure can be made so as to be reused in movement of the apparatus such as a move. | 10-04-2012 |
20130221604 | SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - When a retard roller is rotating in a sheet feeding direction, the rotation is transmitted to a pickup roller and the pickup roller rotates in a direction for conveying the sheet. When the retard roller is rotating in a direction opposite to the sheet feeding direction or is stationary, the pickup roller does not feed the sheet. Therefore, in a successive feeding operation, the sheet to be fed next is always conveyed such that the leading end thereof reaches a nip position between a feed roller and the retard roller. Therefore, the intervals between the sheets are uniform in the successive feeding operation. | 08-29-2013 |
