SHEET FEEDING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17872642 titled 'SHEET FEEDING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a sheet feeding device that includes a driving transmission member, a feeding unit, and a switching member. The feeding unit is detachable and includes a driven transmission member, a feeding member, and a holding member. The switching member moves the feeding member between a second position and a first position.

  • The feeding unit is detachable from the sheet feeding device.
  • The feeding unit includes a driven transmission member, a feeding member, and a holding member.
  • The switching member moves the feeding member between a second position and a first position lowered from the second position.
  • When the driving force is transmitted to the driven transmission member, the feeding unit is positioned to the sheet feeding device by receiving a positioning force in an attachment direction.
  • When the driving force is not transmitted to the driven transmission member, the feeding unit is regulated by the switching member in movement in a direction opposite to the attachment direction.

Potential Applications

  • Sheet feeding devices in various industries such as printing, packaging, and manufacturing.
  • Automation systems that require efficient and reliable sheet feeding mechanisms.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the attachment and detachment of the feeding unit from the sheet feeding device.
  • Provides a mechanism to move the feeding member between different positions.
  • Ensures proper positioning and regulation of the feeding unit during operation.

Benefits

  • Easy and quick attachment and detachment of the feeding unit.
  • Improved efficiency and reliability of the sheet feeding process.
  • Reduces the risk of misalignment or damage to the feeding unit.
  • Allows for precise control and adjustment of the feeding member's position.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sheet feeding device includes a driving transmission member, a feeding unit, and a switching member. The feeding unit is detachable from the sheet feeding device and includes a driven transmission member that receives a driving force from the driving transmission member, a feeding member, and a holding member that holds the driven transmission member and the feeding member. The switching member abuts the holding member and moves the feeding member between a second position and a first position lowered from the second position. When the driving force is transmitted to the driven transmission member, the feeding unit is positioned to the sheet feeding device by receiving a positioning force in an attachment direction of the feeding unit. When the driving force is not transmitted to the driven transmission member, the feeding unit is regulated by the switching member in movement in a direction opposite to the attachment direction.
