Abstract: A paper reversing apparatus includes a main conveyance path, a reversing path, first and second guiding plates and a hardware processor. The reversing path is disposed so as to form a predetermined angle with respect to the main conveyance path. Paper enters the reversing path from the main conveyance path and leaves the reversing path to the main conveyance path by being sent backward. When paper enters the reversing path, the processor moves the first guiding plate to a position for the paper to follow the first guiding plate and moves the second guiding plate to a position to avoid the paper. When paper leaves the reversing path, the processor moves the second guiding plate to a position for the paper to follow the second guiding plate and moves the first guiding plate to a position to avoid the paper.

An actuator of a damping force variable mechanism provided to the shock absorber is driven and controlled by a controller. The controller variably adjusts the damping force between the soft side and the hard side by the damping force variable mechanism according to a vertical vibration when a vehicle body vertically vibrates at a low frequency. The controller does not adjust the damping force when the vehicle body vibrates at a higher frequency than the low frequency.

Abstract: A roller mechanism includes a roller and a support member that supports the rotation shaft. Herein, the support member includes a bearing having an outer ring and inner ring which rotate relatively to each other, and a sleeve that is fittingly fixed to the inner ring, wherein the sleeve and rotation shaft are fitted to each other by clearance fitting and further engaged with each other with respect to a rotation direction.

Abstract: A paper discharge apparatus including, a paper loading portion for loading a paper which is discharged; a paper rear-end abutting portion which a rear end of paper in a paper conveying direction abuts; a pair of paper holding members for holding the paper at the paper holding position when the paper is discharged; a paper holding member moving device which is connected to at least one of the pair of the paper holding members and moves the pair of the paper holding members from a paper holding position to a paper loading position; when the pair of the paper holding members reach the paper loading position, the paper holding member moving device moves at least one of the pair of the paper holding members in the opposite direction of the paper conveying direction and makes the rear end of the holding paper abut the paper rear-end abutting portion.

Abstract: The controller inputs a required thrust force value calculated by a required thrust force calculation unit, to a low frequency filter and a high frequency filter. Output values of the low frequency filter and the high frequency filter are amplitude-limited by a low frequency limiter and a high frequency limiter, respectively. Output values of the low frequency limiter and the high frequency limiter are added, and the added value is output into an inverter as a thrust force instruction value. In this case, a limit value of the low frequency limiter is set to be smaller than a limit value of the high frequency limiter.
