Latest Patents

Satoh’s listed patents focus on mechanisms that feed sheets reliably and help printers handle paper accurately.

- **Sheet Supply Apparatus with Feed Protrusions for Skew Correction.** This apparatus uses a rotating shaft with axially spaced protrusions positioned at different circumferential angles. The protrusions move a sheet toward a transverse member, such as printer conveying rollers, so the sheet abuts against it and its oblique feed is corrected.

- **Sheet Supply Apparatus Having Inclined Feeding Correcting Function.** Designed to attach to a printer, this apparatus uses protrusions on a shaft above the sheet-conveyance surface to correct inclined feeding. Multiple sensors detect whether a sheet is present and help determine its size, supporting printer control for handling different sheet formats.
