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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18061071 titled 'FEEDING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a feeding device that consists of several components, including an accommodating unit, a feeding member, a regulating member, a member-to-be-detected, a detecting device, and a connecting member.

  • The regulating member makes contact with the member-to-be-detected in one region along the feeding direction.
  • In another region along the feeding direction, the regulating member is separated from the member-to-be-detected by the connecting member.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automated feeding systems for animals or humans
  • Industrial manufacturing processes that require precise feeding of materials
  • Medical devices for controlled drug administration

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate and controlled feeding of materials or substances
  • Prevents excessive or insufficient feeding
  • Reduces the risk of contamination or damage to the member-to-be-detected

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in feeding processes
  • Enhanced control over the amount and timing of feeding
  • Minimized waste and reduced costs
  • Increased safety and reliability in feeding operations


Original Abstract Submitted

A feeding device includes an accommodating unit, a feeding member, a regulating member, a member-to-be-detected, a detecting device, and a connecting member. The regulating member contacts the member-to-be-detected in a first region with respect to a feeding direction and is spaced from the member-to-be-detected through the connecting member in a second region different from the first region with respect to the feeding direction.
