Abstract:
A head loading device includes a print head for ejecting ink from a print position adjacent to a paper sheet to print an image with the ink, and an elevator for moving the print head upward from the print position at the time of non-printing and downward to the print position at the time of printing. The head loading device further includes a three-point support mechanism for supporting, at three points, the print head moved to the print position by the elevator to hold the print head at a preset distance from the paper sheet.
Abstract:
The transfer device transfers a toner image to a recording medium. The recording medium passes through a nip portion formed by a belt roller which is disposed on a main body of an apparatus and a transfer roller which is disposed on an opening and closing cover. The opening and closing cover opens and closes an opening of a main body of the apparatus. The main body includes a positioning member which positions the transfer roller which moves according to a closing operation of the opening and closing cover, to a predetermined distance with respect to the belt roller. The main body also includes an engaging member which engages with the transfer roller and pushes the transfer roller toward a positioning position of the positioning member, by being urged by a pressurizing spring.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable developing device incorporating first developer units, a second developer unit disposed outside the rotatable developing device, a photoconductor on which a toner image can be formed by contact of each of the first and second developer units, and a driving motor for rotating the rotatable developing device. A first value of angular acceleration of the rotatable developing device when development performed by a first one of the first developer units proceeds to development performed by the second developer unit and a second value thereof when the development performed by the second developer unit proceeds to development performed by a second one of the first developer units are set to be smaller than a third value thereof when development performed by the second one of the first developer units proceeds to development performed by a next one of the first developer units.
Abstract:
An ink-jet printer includes a rotary drum 10 for rotating at a constant speed, a sheet loader for loading a paper sheet onto the rotary drum 10, a sheet holding system 20 for holding the paper sheet loaded by the sheet loader on the rotary drum 10, and a print head 200 for printing an image by ejecting ink onto the paper sheet which is held on the rotary drum 10 by the sheet holding system 20 and rotated together with the rotary drum 10. In particular, the sheet loader has a pair of loading rollers 91 and 92 for feeding the paper sheet while pinching the paper sheet, and a roller moving mechanism 28 for separating the loading roller 91 from the other loading roller 92 to release the paper sheet after the leading edge of the paper sheet has been held on the rotary drum 10.

An ink-jet printer includes a rotary drum 10, having a dielectric peripheral surface 11, for rotating at a constant speed, a sheet loader 90 for loading a sheet to the rotary drum 10, a sheet holding system for causing the sheet to be held on the peripheral surface 11 of the rotary drum 10, and a print head section 200 for printing an image on the sheet held on the peripheral surface 11 of the rotary drum 10 by jetting ink to the sheet while the rotary drum 10 makes a predetermined number of rotations. Particularly, the sheet holding system includes a charging section 20 and a supplementary charger section 26. The charging section 20 charges the peripheral surface 11 of the rotary drum 10 on an upstream side of the loading point where the leading end of the sheet loaded by the sheet loader 90 contacts the peripheral surface 11 of the rotary drum 10. The supplementary charger section 26 charges the sheet to supplement the electrostatic attraction force attenuated during the rotation of the rotary drum 10.

A sheet unloading apparatus is used for rotary drum rotatable in one direction along with a paper sheet which is wound around a peripheral surface of the rotary drum and at rear end mechanically engaged in an engagement groove formed in the peripheral surface. The sheet unloading apparatus includes a separation paws for separating a front end of the paper sheet from the rotary drum by contacting the peripheral surface of the rotary drum while the rotary drum rotates in the one direction, and a pair of pinch rollers for rotating to pinch and feed out the paper sheet supplied according to the rotation of the rotary drum in a state where the front end of the paper sheet is separated from the rotary drum by the separation pawl and the rear end of the paper sheet is engaged in the engagement groove. Particularly, the unloading apparatus further include a removal assisting mechanism for assisting the paper sheet to be pulled out from the engagement groove by bending the paper sheet spanning between the rotary drum and the pair of pinch rollers.
