A dynamic damper containing a mass and an elastic connector is connected to an inner tube to provide the dynamic damper integrally as a part of an apparatus. Since the dynamic damper is integrally provided as part of the apparatus (cab mount) by connecting the dynamic damper containing the mass and the elastic connector to the inner tube via a connecting member in the cab mount, it is possible to eliminate work for assembling the dynamic damper separately from the cab mount. Further, the dynamic damper may be constructed integrally as part of the cab mount.

A lapping machine includes a lapping plate, and a workpiece carrier with a workpiece-holding hole disposed on the plate, a workpiece being fitted within the hole in the carrier. The workpiece is lapped while the plate and the carrier are individually rotated and loose abrasive grains are fed onto the plate. A synthetic resin-based elastic abrasive member having a Rockwell hardness (HRS) in the range of &#x2212;30 to &#x2212;100 is effective for resurfacing the lapping plate.

In an original-feeding device and method, originals are conveyed from an original-tray on which a bundle of originals can be mounted to an original-reading mount. A control unit controls an original-conveying operation so as to separate and feed originals from the bundle of originals mounted on the original-tray onto the original-reading mount either from an uppermost original or from a lowermost original. The control unit can control the original-conveying operation to juxtapose two consecutive originals on the original-reading mount irrespective of whether the originals are fed from the uppermost or lower-most original. In addition, the number of originals in the bundle can be counted if certain conditions exist.

A sheet sorting apparatus is equipped with a control device for controlling the sorting of sheets from a sheet processing device and a memory for storing data concerning the number of sorted sheets. The memory has a back-up power source that is independent of the sheet processing device which discharges sheets to the sorter and includes a transmitter for transmitting the data stored in the memory to this upstream sheet processing device.

An automatic document feeder provided with a pre-feed function, in which during reading an originals, a succeeding original is fed to an entry of a reading station and keep it there includes an original stacking tray for stacking originals; a separator for separating a single original from the stacked originals on the stacking tray; a driver for driving the separator; a feeder for feeding the original separated by the separator; a second driver for driving the feeder; a conveyer for conveying the original fed by the feeder; a third driver for driving the conveyer; and a controller, provided with detector disposed downstream of the feeder, for stopping the original adjacent an inlet of the conveyer.

Automatic document feeder

An image processing apparatus includes a reader for reading an image to be added to an original image, an editor for performing a desired editing process for image data read with the reader, and a storage medium for storing therein the image data edited by the editor. The storage medium is detachably mounted on a copying machine for copying the original image. The image data edited by the editor may be directly transmitted to the copying machine so as to be combined with the image being copied.

A 1:N divider 40 divides an input high rate data signal into N (N being 2 or greater integer) division data signals. Data transmission rate converters 70.sub.1 -70.sub.N for converting the transmission rate of each of the N division data signals. The respective N division data signals are transmitted through N transmission lines 30.sub.1 -30.sub.n. A multiplier 50 multiplies the transmitted N division data signals into a single high rate data signal.

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.

A sheet output apparatus useful in conjunction with a sheet post-processing apparatus, and adapted to perform a predetermined processing of a sheet and then discharge the sheet to the sheet post-processing apparatus, comprising: a transfer mechanism for transferring a sheet to the sheet post-processing apparatus; and a communication mechanism for performing a serial communication of data between the sheet output apparatus and the sheet post-processing apparatus, wherein the communication mechanism transmits a sheet carrier speed data to the sheet post-processing apparatus.

Sheet handling apparatus

A sheet handling apparatus to perform predetermined processes for a recorded sheet comprises: a processor to process a sheet which is output from a sheet output unit; a sensor to detect a carrier speed of the sheet; and a controller to perform predetermined processes on the basis of the sheet carrier speed detected by the sensor and sheet carrier speed data transmitted from the sheet output unit. The processor has a carrier to carry the sheet output from the sheet output unit and then stores the sheet carried by the carrier into storage units. The controller compares the sheet carrier speed detected by the sensor with the sheet carrier sheed data transmitted from the sheet output unit and outputs a warning signal to display the result of the comparison when the former speed is deviated from the latter speed by a value above a predetermined value. In this manner, the abnormality of the sheet carrier speed is correctly detected and the occurrence of the abnormality of the carrying operation of the sheet such as sheet jam or stay jam can be prevented.

An original handling apparatus includes a digitizer for feeding an original to a predetermined position and allowing the operator pad to designate an arbitrary area of the original using a write pen and a two-dimensional electrode. The apparatus also includes an original (document) feeder for feeding the original to the predetermined position, and a selecting unit for selecting the digitizer or the original feeder. The selecting unit includes a sensor for detecting opening/closing of a digitizer cover. When the cover is open, the original is fed from the original feeder. When the cover is closed, the original is fed from the digitizer.
