The present invention provides a sheet sorting and containing apparatus for conveying thin sheets or thick sheets to a plurality of containing portions and for sorting such sheets into the containing portions. The apparatus includes a first path for distributing the thin sheet to the containing portion, and a second path for distributing the thick sheet to the containing portion. The first path or second path is selected in accordance with a thickness of the sheet.

Sheet sorting and containing apparatus

A book binding apparatus comprises a convey means for conveying a sheet on which an image was formed by an image forming means, a plurality of sheet supporting means for supporting a sheet bundle to align ends of the sheets, a switching means for selecting one of the sheet supporting means to send the sheet conveyed by the convey means to the selected sheet supporting means, a bind means for adhering a bind tape to an end of the sheet bundle, and a move means for moving the aligned end of the sheet bundle supported by the sheet supporting means to the bind means.

Book Binding apparatus

A book binding apparatus comprises a sheet entrance portion for receiving a sheet, a sheet convey path for conveying the sheet from the first sheet entrance portion, a first discharge opening disposed downstream of the sheet convey path for discharging the sheet out of the apparatus, sheet storing means for temporarily storing the sheet branched from the sheet convey path by branching means, binding means for binding the stored sheets, transfer means for conveying the bound sheet bundle, and a second discharge opening for discharging the conveyed sheet bundle out of the apparatus.

Book binding apparatus

A book binding apparatus has a sheet storing device for temporarily storing a sheet, a binding device for binding sheets as a sheet bundle, a transfer device for conveying the bound sheet bundle, a discharge opening for discharging the sheet bundle conveyed by the transfer device out of the apparatus, and a stacker for storing the sheet and arranged in a confronting relation to the discharge opening with the interposition of the transfer device.

An original feeding device for feeding OHP originals to the display stage of an overhead projector is capable of transportation control suitable for OHP projection. The originals are transported by a conveying film onto the display stage. In order to stop the original at the center of the display stage, after the original is detected by the registration sensor, the conveying film is advanced by an amount equal to the sum of the distance from the registration sensor to the display stage, a half of the length of the display stage and a half of the length of the original.

Original feeding device

A sheet post-processing apparatus includes bin trays for stacking sheets; sheet discharger for discharging sheets to the bin trays; an aligner for aligning the sheets received by the bin trays by urging them; a controller for controlling the aligner: wherein the controller moves the aligner to a first position for a first alignment and to a second position for a second alignment to provide offset between succeeding sets of sheets received by the bin trays.

Sheet post-processing apparatus

An original conveying apparatus includes an original stacker, a separator for separating the stacked originals from an upper side and for supplying the separated originals, a conveyor for conveying the separated originals to pass them through a reading portion and holding the originals in page sequence, a driver for rotating the conveyor normally or reversely, a discharger for returning the original to the original stacker and a controller for controlling the driver, the discharger and the separator so that an original is selected and set on the reading portion.

Original conveying apparatus

A sheet post-processing apparatus includes at least one sheet receiving device for stacking sheets; an aligning device for aligning sheets on the sheet receiving device; and a sheet conveyer for conveying a set of aligning sheets in a direction crossing with a sheet receiving direction of the sheet receiving device.

Sheet post-processing apparatus having trays for receiving sets of sheets

A laminating apparatus includes a sheet transporter for transporting a sheet, a laminating film transporter for transporting at least one laminating film in such a manner that the film is superposed with at least one surface of the sheet transported by the sheet transporter, a pressing mechanism for pressing the sheet and the laminating film in a mutually superposed state, a sheet stacker for supporting the sheets in a stacked state, a sheet entrance for introducing the sheet, and a guide for selectively guiding the sheet, introduced from the sheet entrance, either to the laminating film transporter or to the sheet stacker.

Laminating apparatus

A sheet material binding apparatus for binding sheet materials with a cover material by a heat-adhesive bonding agent includes a heating plate on which the spine of the covering material having the bonding agent is placed, the heating plate being used for heating the bonding agent; a guide for supporting the covering material and the sheet materials vertically on the heating plate; a guide driver for moving the guide in a direction of a thickness of a set of the sheet materials to facilitate setting and removing of the covering material and the sheet materials; and a controller for controlling the guide driver.

Sheet binder

A sheet binder for binding sheets by adhering the sheets to a back of a cover member by a heat-fusible adhesive. The sheet binder includes a supporting member for supporting the cover member having the back, to an inner surface of which the heat-fusible adhesive is applied, a heat generating member disposed in the proximity of the supporting member, and an alternate magnetic field generating device for generating an alternate magnetic field to heat the heat generating member.

The present invention provides a laminating apparatus comprising a sheet transporter for transporting a sheet, a laminating film transporter for transporting at least one laminating film in such a manner that the laminating film is superposed with at least one surface of the sheet transported by the sheet transporter. A pressing mechanism means presses the sheet and the lamenting film or films in a mutually superposed state, a heater heats the laminating film, heat capacity detector detects the heat capacity of at least one of the laminating film or films and the sheet, and a controller controls at least one of the heater and the laminating film transporter, according to a detection signal from the heat capacity detector.

A laminating apparatus comprises a sheet transporter for transporting a sheet, a laminating film transporter for transporting at least one laminating film in such a manner that the laminating film is superposed with at least one surface of the sheet transported by the sheet transporter, a pressing mechanism for pressing the sheet and the laminating film in a mutually superposed state, a dryer for drying the sheet before it is superposed with the laminating film, a humidity detector for detecting the humidity of the sheet, and a controller for controlling the dryer according to a detection signal from the humidity detector.

A sheet binding apparatus includes a tray for supporting a set of sheet materials; a punch for punching the sheet materials on the supporting tray; a conveyor for conveying the sheet materials punched by the punch; a binder for binding the sheet materials conveyed and by the conveyer; a controller for sequentially controlling the punch, the conveyor and the binder.

A sheet sorter includes a plurality of bin trays in the form of multi-stage; a plurality of followers adjacent sheet receiving sides of the bin trays; a rotatable screw for sequentially moving the followers to expand a gap between adjacent bin trays; and wherein accommodating portion disposed at both sides of the sheet receiving side of the sheet sorter to accommodate the rotatable screw, a connecting portion for connecting the accommodating portions and a member for defining a groove for guiding movements of the plurality of followers, are integrally molded.
