MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101372 titled 'MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a medium transport device with two transporters that nip the medium and rotate to transport it, along with adjusters to control the position and contact pressure of the transporters.
- First transporter transports medium by nipping and rotating
- Second transporter is located upstream of the first transporter in the transport direction
- First adjuster moves transporters in the width direction to adjust medium position
- Second adjuster controls contact pressure of transporters based on resistance when moving medium in width direction
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in industries such as printing, packaging, and manufacturing where precise and controlled transport of medium is required.
Problems Solved
The device solves the problem of accurately transporting medium by providing adjustable position and contact pressure control, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy and precision in medium transport - Enhanced control over medium position and contact pressure - Increased efficiency and reliability in transport processes
Potential Commercial Applications
"Medium Transport Device for Precise Control in Printing and Packaging Industries"

Original Abstract Submitted
a medium transport device includes a first transporter configured to transport a medium by nipping the medium along with rotation, a second transporter configured to transport the medium and disposed on an upstream side of the first transporter in a transport direction of the medium, a first adjuster configured to adjust a position of the medium in a width direction by moving the first transporter and the second transporter in the width direction of the medium with the medium nipped by the first transporter and the second transporter, and a second adjuster configured to adjust a contact pressure of the first transporter for the medium and a contact pressure of the second transporter for the medium based on resistance caused when the medium is moved in the width direction.
