20090189326 | SHEET FOLDING APPARATUS, SHEET POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet folding apparatus including: a conveyance device having a first pair of rollers for nipping and conveying a paper sheet; a folding device disposed downstream of the conveyance device in a paper sheet conveyance direction, the folding device having a second pair of rollers for nipping and conveying the paper sheet, wherein the conveyance device conveys the paper sheet to the folding device by making the paper sheet bent toward the folding device, and the folding device conveys the bent paper sheet to fold the paper sheet; and a folding assist member for pushing the paper sheet so that the paper sheet moves toward the folding device, the folding assist member being pivotally arranged to be capable of rotating downstream of the conveyance device in the conveyance direction. | 07-30-2009 |
20090200732 | SHEET DISCHARGING APPARATUS, SHEET FINISHING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet discharging apparatus including: a sheet discharging section that discharges sheets at a position lower than a height H | 08-13-2009 |
20090212485 | SHEET COLLECTING DEVICE, POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Providing a sheet collecting device capable of being downsized and of operating stably wherein a sheet ejecting device that conveys and ejects a sheet in the direction for making the sheet fall along a slanted sheet collecting board is provided, and a leading edge stopper that holds sheets on the sheet collecting board is set so that a trailing edge of the sheet may be at a constant height independently of a sheet size. | 08-27-2009 |
20090261523 | SHEET POST-FINISHING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - In a sheet post-finishing apparatus, a stapling device conducts a saddle stitching process on a bundle of sheets, based on an instruction signal; a sheet guide member, mounted on the stapling device, faces a surface of a sheet to be stacked on a sheet stacking section; a stapling device moving section allows the stapling device to move along a line dividing the sheet into two equal portions, perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction; and a control section controls the stapling device to stand by above a lateral center of the sheet to be conveyed to the stapling device, while the sheets are stacked as the bundle of sheets, and after the bundle of sheets is formed, the control section controls the stapling device to sequentially move to predetermined plural positions, whereby said control section sends the instruction signal to the stapling device which was stopped at the predetermined positions. | 10-22-2009 |
20130093134 | SHEET STORAGE APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM USING THE APPARATUS - To provide a sheet storage apparatus for enabling sheets that are carried out of an image formation apparatus or the like on the upstream side to be loaded and stored in a predetermined position with a correct posture neatly at high speed, a sheet discharge roller and a reverse roller spaced a distance are disposed in a sheet discharge outlet and a tray, a kick member is provided to be swingable in a vertical direction passing a sheet discharge path of a sheet discharged from the sheet discharge outlet, and a posture of the kick member is controlled by shift means. The shift means controls the kick member among a waiting posture retracted upward from the sheet discharge path, an engagement posture for imposing a load on the sheet to engage, and an actuation posture dropping onto the tray together with the sheet. | 04-18-2013 |
20130140765 | SHEET STORAGE APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM USING THE APPARATUS - To provide a sheet storage apparatus for enabling a sheet to be aligned so that the length-direction position and width-direction position of the sheet coincide with correct reference positions in positioning and storing the sheet in a predetermined position on a tray, it is configured that a paper feed rotating member in a center portion of a sheet that is carried out onto the tray and a paper-pressing guide in the side portion are disposed swingably up and down in the sheet load direction, and that the paper-pressing guide moves upward integrally with the paper feed rotating member floating a predetermined amount or more from the sheet top surface on the tray corresponding to a curl of the sheet. | 06-06-2013 |
