Abstract: For each of a plurality of signal processors accommodating respective shares of signalling links to be controlled by a signalling point, a congestion-condition level is determined by comparing an overload condition of a central controller and the number of processed signals with their respective threshold values. Any signalling link, whose priority is lower than the priority corresponding to the determined congestion-condition level, is inhibited for use, and a signalling link accommodated in another signal processor is substituted for the inhibited signalling link. In determining the congestion-condition level, a decision is made at predetermined intervals of time as to whether the condition is a congested condition or a congestion cleared condition; if it is a congested condition, the congestion-condition level is raised, and if it is a congestion cleared condition, the congestion-condition level is lowered.

Abstract: A paper feeding device is capable of judging that a paper jam occurs on the basis of output from a first paper detecting switch and a second paper detecting switch. These paper detecting switches are respectively provided ahead of and behind a registration roller which feeds paper sheets to an image forming section. If the first paper detecting switch is turned on when a predetermined time has elapsed since the registration roller started to feed a paper sheet to the image forming section, it is judged that a duplicate paper feeding state has occurred where a plurality of paper sheets are simultaneously fed. If the second paper detecting switch is turned off in the case where it is judged that a duplicate paper feeding state has occurred, it is judged that a paper jam has not occurred. The registration roller is stopped so it will later be ready to feed the subsequent paper sheet.

Abstract: In a time period from the time point where the forward end of a paper sheet fed from a pair of paper separation rollers reaches a registration roller to the time point, where the registration roller is driven, when the load torque exerted on a forward roller is not less than second regulated torque, the transmission of power to the forward roller is released by a torque limiter provided for the forward roller. In this case, therefore, the force of paper feeding produced by the pair of paper separation rollers is regulated. Consequently, a suitable force of paper feeding can be applied to the paper sheet, thereby to make it possible to regulate the paper sheet straight in the direction of paper feeding as well as to prevent the paper sheet from continuing to be fed even if the amount of deflection of the paper sheet is saturated between the pair of paper separation rollers and the registration roller to prevent the paper sheet from being wrinkled.

The process unit has a rotatable drum having an electrostatographic material thereon, a corona discharger, a developing device and a cleaning device. The developing device includes a development housing for holding a developer, a developer applicator for applying the developer to the electrostatographic material, and an agitating device for stirring the developer in the development housing. An agitating member of the agitating device is arranged to prevent damage of the agitating device due to forces resisting agitation motion by the agitating member. The developer applicator has a sleeve member for holding a developer on its surface, and a developer regulating blade which regulates the developer layer thickness, on the surface of the sleeve member, to provide an uniform developer thickness in the width direction.

Abstract: When a sheet feeding cassette (10) is mounted on an image forming apparatus or the like, a forward portion of a mounting plate (13) is urged upward so that an upper surface of the forward portion of the mounting plate (13) is brought into contact with a feed roller (11). A pair of non-slip pads (14a) and (14b) is affixed to the upper surface of the forward portion of the mounting plate (13). The non-slip pads (14a) and (14b) are members each having a plane shape of approximately L or its reversed shape and made of, for example, a rubber plate.The non-slip pads (14a) and (14b) are affixed to such a position that they do not come into direct contact with the feed roller (11). Consequently, when sheets are fed, the last sheet is not directly nipped strongly by the feed roller and the non-slip pads, to produce no buzzing noise. In addition, the non-slip pads (14a) and (14b) are in the vicinity of the feed roller (11).

Abstract: A gas-filled switch with an improved arc extinguishing characteristics. Such gas-filled switch comprises a gas-filled casing, a pair of electrodes disposed in the casing, a conductive retaining ring which encircles at least one of the electrodes, a permanent magnet of a cylindrical configuration mounted in the retaining ring, a conductive cylindrical body disposed in one end opening of the retaining ring, and an arc-drive coil encircling the conductive cylindrical body and having one end connected to the conductive cylindrical body and other end connected to the electrode. Due to such construction, one root of an arc generated between the electrodes is moved from one electrode to the conductive cylindrical body so that the other root of the arc is subjected to the magnetic flux of the permamemt magnet while the previous one root of the arc is subjected to the magnetic flux of the arc-drive coil so as to extinguish the arc during the rotation of the arc.
