CONVEYING APPARATUS AND RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101373 titled 'CONVEYING APPARATUS AND RECORDING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The conveying apparatus described in the patent application includes a conveying roller, a first helical gear, and a gear unit that generates a thrust force to the conveying roller. The gear unit consists of a second helical gear and a third helical gear, with the thrust forces acting in opposite directions on the conveying roller.

  • Conveying roller: Moves the recording medium along a path.
  • First helical gear: Rotates with the conveying roller.
  • Gear unit: Engages with the first helical gear to provide thrust force.
  • Second helical gear: Part of the gear unit, generates a thrust force.
  • Third helical gear: Part of the gear unit, generates a thrust force in the opposite direction.
