Patent number: 9469497Abstract: A self-hold type solenoid pulls a plunger by passage of electric current, and attracts and holds with permanent magnets also after interruption of the passage of electric current. A stopper member shifts between a regulation position for striking a front end of a transported sheet and a retracted position retracted from the regulation position by operation of the plunger. The self-hold type solenoid enhances the pull force of the plunger by being supplied with an electric current corresponding to one pulse at timing at which the transported sheet strikes the stopper member existing in the regulation position, and the stopper member is prevented from retracting by receiving an impact in striking the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: NISCA CORPORATIONInventor: Takahiro Nakano
