MEDIUM FEEDING DEVICE AND MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH MEDIUM FEEDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101367 titled 'MEDIUM FEEDING DEVICE AND MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH MEDIUM FEEDING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The medium feeding device described in the patent application includes a load unit loaded with multiple media, a delivering unit that moves the uppermost medium in a predetermined feeding direction, an ascent-descent unit that causes the load unit to move up and down around a pivot point, a regulating unit that contacts the leading edge of the media to regulate its loading position, and a blocking unit that allows the load unit to move up and down while blocking a gap between the load unit and the regulating unit.
- Load unit loaded with multiple media
- Delivering unit moves uppermost medium in feeding direction
- Ascent-descent unit causes load unit to move up and down
- Regulating unit contacts leading edge of media to regulate loading position
- Blocking unit allows load unit to move up and down while blocking gap between load unit and regulating unit
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in automated packaging systems, sorting machines, and material handling equipment.
Problems Solved
The device helps in maintaining a consistent feeding of media, preventing jams, and ensuring efficient operation of the system.
Benefits
Improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and increased accuracy in media feeding processes.

Original Abstract Submitted
a medium feeding device includes: a load unit that is loaded with multiple media; a delivering unit that delivers an uppermost medium of the media loaded on the load unit in a predetermined feeding direction; an ascent-descent unit that causes at least a part of the load unit to ascend and descend about a pivot point defined by a position of the load unit located away from a leading edge of the media in the feeding direction; a regulating unit that is provided toward the feeding direction of the media on the load unit and that comes into contact with the leading edge, in the feeding direction, of the media loaded on the load unit to regulate a loading position of the media; and a blocking unit that allows the load unit to ascend and descend and that blocks at least a part of a gap between the load unit and the regulating unit at an arbitrary ascent or descent position of the load unit.
