20090166952 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS, SHEET TAKE-OUT APPARATUS, AND SHEET TAKE-OUT METHOD THEREOF - To provide a sheet processing apparatus and a sheet take-out apparatus, when a take-out portion is stopped, for conveying a sheet hanging down in the take-out portion, thereby preventing the hanging-down sheet from falling. If a take-out emergency process state occurs during take-out of sheets, the sheet take-out apparatus stops upward movement of a backup plate, moves down feed stoppers, presses a sheet bundle from above, and prevents the sheet on the uppermost surface from being taken out. At this time, the sheet take-out apparatus keeps a rotor air valve on and takes out the sheet caught in a sheet take-in port. When residual sheets on the backup plate are detected by a subsequent take-out interruption process, the sheet take-out apparatus moves down the position of the backup plate as a slightly low speed, simultaneously turns off air valves for a rotor, a fixed absorbing unit, and handling, holds the status for 500 ms, loads a hanging-down sheet on the backup plate, thereby prevents the concerned sheet from scattering in correspondence with falling. | 07-02-2009 |
20090293424 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCKING METHOD OF STACKING DEVICE - To provide a sheet processing apparatus and an electromagnetic locking method of a stacking device for unlocking a stacking device cover when a door of the sheet processing apparatus is closed, shortening the power supply time of an electromagnetic lock, suppressing power consumption, and displaying permission of access to the stacking device. When a condition of unlocking a stacking portion and opening of the door is detected, the electromagnetic lock is held in an unlocking state and a cover opening-closing permission display lamp is turned on. After end of an operation by an operator, if the closing of the door is detected by a door detection device, the electromagnetic lock of the stacking device is turned off and the lamp is turned off. As a result, an unlocking condition is held when no power is supplied to a solenoid. Further, when a condition of locking the stacking portion occurs, if the opening of the door is detected, the electromagnetic lock is turned on, and the lamp is turned off, and after the operation ends, if the closing of the door is detected, the electromagnetic lock is turned off and the lamp is turned off. | 12-03-2009 |
20100217432 | SHEET HANDLING APPARATUS AND SHEET HANDLING METHOD - A sheet handling apparatus includes a first module arranged along a sheet conveyance route from the upstream to the downstream thereof, and a second module arranged adjacent to the first module, wherein the first module including a take-out part to take out sheets one by one from a bundle of sheets fed into a supply part; a first conveyance route to convey the taken out sheets with the take-out part; a discriminating device to discriminate category of the sheets conveyed along the first conveyance route; and a first control part to transmit destination information and category information of the sheet discriminated by the discriminating device and to execute a conveyance control to the sheet residing along the first conveyance route, and wherein the second module including: a second conveyance route to convey further the sheets conveyed from the first module; a first stacking device to stack the sheet conveyed along the second conveyance route based on the destination information and category information received from the first module in each category; and a second control part to execute a conveyance control to the sheet residing along the second conveyance route, and to transmit information of the number of sheets in each category stacked in the first stacking device, wherein the first control part is configured to execute a cross-check whether the information of the number of sheets in each category received from the second control part matches with the information of the number of sheets transmitted to the second control part or not. | 08-26-2010 |
20110084440 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS, SHEET TAKE-OUT APPARATUS, AND SHEET TAKE-OUT METHOD THEREOF - A sheet processing apparatus and a sheet take-out apparatus that prevents a sheet conveyed by a take-out portion from hanging-down and falling, when the take-out portion is stopped due to an emergency. If a take-out emergency process state occurs during the take-out of sheets, the sheet take-out apparatus stops upward movement of a backup plate, moves down feed stoppers, and presses a sheet bundle from above to prevent the sheet on the uppermost surface from being taken out. The sheet take-out apparatus also keeps a rotor air valve on and takes out the sheet caught in a sheet take-in port. When residual sheets on the backup plate are later detected, the sheet take-out apparatus moves down the position of the backup plate, turns off air valves for the rotor, fixed absorbing unit, and handling, and loads a hanging-down sheet on the backup plate, to prevent the sheet from scattering. | 04-14-2011 |

20090167111 | VIBRATION-TYPE ACTUATOR - A vibration-type actuator having a vibrating body adapted to be deformed for driving and mounted with a contact member having a spring function. The contact member is comprised of a protruding portion adapted to be in contact with a driven body and fixing portions fixed to the vibrating body, and is provided with converting portion disposed between the projecting portion and the fixing portions. The converting portions each have an inclined surface obliquely extending relative to a contact surface provided in the protruding portion for contact with the driven body and extending to a side opposite from the contact surface. The converting portions convert a change in relative distance between the fixing portions caused by deformation of the vibrating body into a displacement of the contact surface. | 07-02-2009 |
20100321806 | VIBRATION WAVE DRIVEN APPARATUS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS INCLUDING VIBRATION WAVE DRIVEN APPARATUS - A vibration wave driven apparatus includes a vibrator configured to generate vibration, a rotor configured to be in frictional contact with the vibrator and to rotate about an axis of rotation, and a transmitting member configured to rotate about the axis and to transmit rotation of the rotor to an external component. A part of the transmitting member forms a worm portion of a worm gear. | 12-23-2010 |
20110273058 | ROTARY TYPE VIBRATION WAVE DRIVING APPARATUS - A rotary type vibration wave driving apparatus which is capable of reducing local wear of a contacting member and of reducing performance deterioration due to long term operation is provided. The apparatus includes a electro-mechanical energy conversion element, an vibration member fixed to the electro-mechanical energy conversion element and vibrated by a voltage being supplied to the electro-mechanical energy conversion element, and a moving member being brought into contact with the vibration member and frictionally driven by the vibration, and is configured such that the moving member includes a supporting portion extended from the main body portion of the moving member, and a contacting portion extended from the supporting portion and being brought into contact with the vibration member, and such that each of the supporting portion and the contacting portion is configured to be elastically deformable in the rotation axis direction of the moving member. | 11-10-2011 |
20140305247 | VIBRATION-TYPE DRIVING APPARATUS, ROBOT, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The present invention relates to a vibration-type driving apparatus including a vibrator including an electro-mechanical transducer; a driven body disposed in pressure-contact with the vibrator; a supporting portion extending from the vibrator; a base to which the vibrator is fixed with the supporting portion interposed therebetween; a vibration absorber disposed between the supporting portion and the base; and a compressive-force adjusting device capable of adjusting a compressive force to be applied to the vibration absorber between the supporting portion and the base. | 10-16-2014 |
