SHEET DISCHARGE APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055768 titled 'SHEET DISCHARGE APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The sheet discharge apparatus described in the patent application is designed to control the speed at which sheets are discharged by a discharge device. The apparatus adjusts the discharge speed based on the number of sheets in a bundle.

  • The discharge speed is set to a higher speed (first discharge speed) when the bundle of sheets contains a certain number of sheets (first number).
  • The discharge speed is set to a lower speed (second discharge speed) when the bundle of sheets contains a greater number of sheets (second number).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Printing industry: The sheet discharge apparatus can be used in printing machines to control the speed at which printed sheets are discharged, ensuring efficient and accurate sheet handling.
  • Packaging industry: This technology can be applied in packaging machines to control the discharge speed of sheets used for packaging materials, improving the overall packaging process.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistent discharge speed: By adjusting the discharge speed based on the number of sheets in a bundle, this technology ensures a consistent and appropriate discharge speed, preventing issues such as jams or misalignment.
  • Efficiency and productivity: The sheet discharge apparatus optimizes the discharge speed, allowing for faster processing of sheets and increasing overall productivity.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved sheet handling: By setting the discharge speed according to the number of sheets, this apparatus ensures smooth and reliable sheet handling, reducing the risk of damage or errors.
  • Time and cost savings: The optimized discharge speed helps to streamline the sheet processing, reducing downtime and improving efficiency, leading to time and cost savings for businesses.


Original Abstract Submitted

The sheet discharge apparatus sets a discharge speed at which a sheet is discharged by a discharge device to a first discharge speed when a bundle of sheets includes a first number of sheets and sets the discharge speed to a second discharge speed that is lower than the first discharge speed when the bundle of sheets includes a second number of sheets that is greater than the first number of sheets.
