IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17980640 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to a contact member used in a recording material conveyance system. The contact member can be positioned at three different locations and is capable of detecting its position. The contact member moves from the second position to the third position due to the pressure exerted by the recording material.
- The patent application focuses on a contact member used in a recording material conveyance system.
- The contact member can be positioned at three different locations: first, second, and third positions.
- A detection unit is used to determine the position of the contact member.
- The contact member moves from the second position to the third position when it is pushed by the recording material.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various printing and copying machines that use recording materials.
- It can be used in systems where precise positioning of the contact member is required for efficient conveyance of the recording material.
Problems Solved
- The patent addresses the issue of accurately detecting the position of the contact member in a recording material conveyance system.
- It solves the problem of ensuring proper contact between the contact member and the recording material during conveyance.
Benefits
- The detection unit allows for precise monitoring of the position of the contact member, ensuring optimal performance.
- The movement of the contact member from the second to the third position improves the contact between the contact member and the recording material, enhancing the conveyance process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A contact member comes into contact with a back surface of a recording material between a nip portion and a transfer portion in a conveyance direction of the recording material. The contact member is capable of being located at a first position, a second position, and a third position. A detection unit detects a position of the contact member so that the detection unit can detect the first position, the second position, and the third position. The contact member reaches the third position by being biased by the recording material from the second position.
