This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17063878 titled 'SHEET FEEDING APPARATUS, IMAGE READING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a sheet feeding apparatus that includes various components such as a feeding roller, conveying roller, separation roller, guide, and holder. The separation roller is replaceable on the holder, which can be detached from the sheet feeding apparatus.

  • The sheet feeding apparatus is designed to feed sheets efficiently.
  • The feeding roller is responsible for feeding the sheets.
  • The conveying roller helps in conveying the sheets fed by the feeding roller.
  • The separation roller forms a nip portion with the conveying roller and separates the sheets one by one at the nip portion.
  • The guide directs the sheets from the feeding roller to the nip portion.
  • The holder holds the separation roller and guide and can be detached and attached to the sheet feeding apparatus.
  • The guide adheres to the holder, and the separation roller can be replaced on the holder when it is removed from the sheet feeding apparatus.

Potential Applications

  • This sheet feeding apparatus can be used in various industries that require efficient sheet feeding, such as printing, packaging, and manufacturing.
  • It can be integrated into machines that handle large volumes of sheets, such as printers, copiers, and paper processing equipment.

Problems Solved

  • The sheet feeding apparatus solves the problem of efficiently feeding sheets one by one, ensuring smooth and continuous operation.
  • The replaceable separation roller on the detachable holder allows for easy maintenance and replacement, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Benefits

  • The apparatus improves the overall efficiency of sheet feeding processes, reducing the chances of jams or misfeeds.
  • The detachable holder and replaceable separation roller make maintenance and replacement tasks quick and convenient.
