Abstract:
An object is to improve machinability and polishability of a brass material prepared through cold working, particularly in a brass pipe material. Before cold working, by having an &agr; phase making heat treatment step for increasing an area ratio of an &agr; phase, cold ductility can be ensured at the time of cold working. Also, after cold working, by having a &bgr; phase making heat treatment step for increasing an area ratio of a &bgr; phase, a brass material excellent in machinability and polishability can be provided.

Abstract:
A sheet convey apparatus includes a main feed roller, retard roller, torque limiter, retard roller guide, a pair of bearings, and a spring. The main feed roller rotates in a predetermined direction in contact with one surface of a paper sheet, to give to the sheet a force to convey the sheet in a sheet convey direction. The retard roller is arranged to oppose the main feed roller and gives to the sheet with which the retard roller is in contact a force to convey the sheet in a direction opposite to the sheet convey direction. The torque limiter limits a torque of the retard roller and rotates the retard roller in the sheet convey direction when the torque exceeds a predetermined limit. The retard roller guide includes at least a surface inclined with respect to a plane connecting central axes of the main feed roller and retard roller at an angle in a range of 0° (exclusive) to 90° (inclusive). The inclined surface is located in the vicinity of the central axis of the retard roller. The pair of bearings rotatably support a rotating shaft of the retard roller. The spring urges a bearing of the retard roller against the inclined surface of the retard roller guide to generate a component toward the main feed roller which is perpendicular to a reaction force from the inclined surface.
