| 20100289213 | SHEET FINISHING APPARATUS OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet finishing apparatus includes a conveyance section which is disposed in a space section which is surrounded by peripheral walls of an image forming apparatus main body and conveys a recording medium discharged from the image forming apparatus in a paper discharge direction, a frame which is positioned in the space section and contains the conveyance section, and a removal mechanism to bring the conveyance section into a removal mode in synchronization with an operation of extracting the frame from the space section. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100290812 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An image forming apparatus forms a stamp image with a stamp image developer having a color developing temperature at a color erasing temperature of an image forming developer, and forms a mask image with a mask image developer having a color re-developing temperature at a temperature not lower than a color re-developing temperature of the image forming developer. Accordingly, when a confidential document is color-erased, the stamp image develops color, and when the color-erased confidential document again develops color, it can not be read. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100290826 | PAPER BINDING APPARATUS, PAPER BINDING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A paper binding apparatus includes: a paper carrying unit which carries papers so as to be sequentially stacked on a tray; a binding sheet supply unit which attaches a binding sheet applied with pseudo-adhesive to a lower surface of one end of the paper first stacked on the tray in the carriage direction so as to protrude in a pectinate shape; a binding sheet attaching unit which sequentially bends a plurality of protruding pieces of the binding sheet so as to be pressed against an upper surface of one end of the carried paper whenever a new paper is carried to the tray; and a discharge unit which discharges a bundle of papers bound by the binding sheet. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100315475 | IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS FOR ERASING IMAGE ON SHEET WHILE CARRYING SHEET - An image erasing apparatus includes: a first carrying section carrying a recording medium; a second carrying section carrying the recording medium; a branching section branching a carrying path into the first carrying section and the second carrying section; a first erasing section erasing an image of the recording medium in the first carrying section; a second erasing section erasing the image of the recording medium in the second carrying section; a third carrying section carrying the recording medium passing through the first erasing section to the second carrying section; and a control section selecting the carrying path of the recording medium depending on an image erasing mode. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100321456 | IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS AND IMAGE ERASING METHOD - An image erasing apparatus includes an inlet receiving recording mediums sheet by sheet, a door key limiting the opening of a security box, an overlap feed sensor sensing the overlap feed of the recording mediums, plural size sensors sensing the sizes of the recording mediums, a movable tray on which the recording mediums input from the inlet are placed, a recovery box disposed below the movable tray to recover the recording mediums, and a recording medium carrying mechanism carrying the recording mediums. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100321457 | IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM CONVEYING METHOD FOR IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS - An image erasing apparatus includes: a paper feeding tray configured to feed a recording medium; a sensor group including a double-feed detection sensor configured to detect double feed of the recording medium and a media sensor configured to detect the thickness of the recording medium; a recording-medium collecting device, a collection box, or a discharge box configured to collect the recording medium; and a recording-medium conveying device connecting the paper feeding tray, the sensor group, and the recording-medium collecting device, the collection box, or the discharge box on a straight line. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100323286 | IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CARRYING RECORDING MEDIUM IN IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS - An image erasing apparatus includes a recording medium height sensor sensing the height of recording mediums stacked on a discharge tray, a discharge tray lifting and lowering mechanism lifting and lowering the discharge tray, a shifting mechanism shifting and discharging the recording mediums, and a controller controlling a discharging operation so that the height of recording mediums on the discharge tray is equal to a desired height on the basis of the output of the recording medium height sensor. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100323287 | IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS AND IMAGE ERASING METHOD - An image erasing apparatus includes a stacking tray stacking the recording medium, a heater heating the recording medium to a temperature equal to or higher than the temperature at which developer on the recording medium is erased, a detector disposed downstream in a recording medium carrying direction from the heater to detect an image on the recording medium, a recording medium carrying mechanism picking up the recording medium, from the stacking tray sheet by sheet and carrying the picked-up recording medium, a storage box storing the image-erased recording medium by size, a lateral aligning mechanism disposed in the storage box so as to align the recording medium in the lateral direction, and a controller controlling the alignment operation of the lateral aligning mechanism. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110033216 | IMAGE DELETE APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM CARRYING METHOD OF IMAGE DELETE APPARATUS - An image delete apparatus has a paper feed tray that feeds recording media, a group of sensors containing a double-feed detection sensor that senses double-feed of the recording media and a media sensor that senses thicknesses of the recording media, a folding unit, and an auxiliary carrying path, and includes a collecting unit that folds and collects the recording media. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110074901 | IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM CONVEYING METHOD FOR IMAGE ERASING APPARATUS - An image erasing apparatus includes: a paper feeding tray configured to feed a recording medium; a sensor group including a double-feed detection sensor configured to detect double feed of the recording medium and a media sensor configured to detect the thickness of the recording medium; a collecting device configured to drop the recording medium in the vertical direction and collect the recording medium; and a recording-medium conveying device configured to convey the recording medium. | 03-31-2011 |
