SHEET TRANSPORT DEVICE INCLUDING TWO TYPES OF CORRUGATION MEMBERS, SHEET POSTPROCESSING APPARATUS, AND SHEET POSTPROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18413771 titled 'SHEET TRANSPORT DEVICE INCLUDING TWO TYPES OF CORRUGATION MEMBERS, SHEET POSTPROCESSING APPARATUS, AND SHEET POSTPROCESSING SYSTEM
The abstract describes a sheet transport device with a delivery roller and a transport route consisting of upper and lower guide members. The lower guide member includes a first guide rib, a first corrugation member, and a first elastic member, while the upper guide member includes a second guide rib, a second corrugation member, and a second elastic member.
- The first elastic member supports an end portion of the first corrugation member on the side of the delivery roller, allowing it to protrude ahead of the first guide rib towards the upper guide member.
- Similarly, the second elastic member supports an end portion of the second corrugation member on the side of the delivery roller, enabling it to protrude ahead of the second guide rib towards the lower guide member.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in printers, copiers, and other paper handling devices to ensure smooth and efficient sheet transport. - It can also be applied in packaging machinery to accurately move sheets of various materials.
Problems Solved: - Prevents paper jams and misfeeds by guiding sheets effectively through the transport route. - Ensures consistent and reliable sheet transport for improved overall performance of paper handling devices.
Benefits: - Enhanced reliability and efficiency in sheet transport operations. - Reduced maintenance and downtime due to minimized paper handling issues.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Sheet Transport Device for Enhanced Paper Handling Efficiency This technology can be utilized in commercial printers, copiers, packaging machinery, and other paper handling equipment to improve productivity and reduce operational disruptions.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to sheet transport devices, guide members, and corrugation members to gain a deeper understanding of the technological advancements in this field.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest developments in sheet transport technology, including advancements in guide member design and elastic member materials for improved performance.
Questions about Sheet Transport Devices: 1. How does the elastic member contribute to the efficient transport of sheets in this device? The elastic member supports the corrugation member, allowing it to protrude ahead of the guide rib and guide the sheet effectively through the transport route.
2. What are the potential applications of this innovative sheet transport device beyond printers and copiers? This technology can also be applied in packaging machinery to handle various types of sheets with precision and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sheet transport device includes a delivery roller and a transport route. The transport route includes an upper guide member and a lower guide member. The lower guide member includes a first guide rib, a first corrugation member, and a first elastic member. The first elastic member supports an end portion of the first corrugation member on a side of the delivery roller, such that the end portion protrudes ahead of the first guide rib toward the upper guide member, with respect to the other end portion. The upper guide member includes a second guide rib, a second corrugation member, and a second elastic member. The second elastic member supports an end portion of the second corrugation member on the side of the delivery roller, such that the end portion protrudes ahead of the second guide rib toward the lower guide member, with respect to the other end portion.
