Patent number: 9341995Abstract: To provide a transfer apparatus that uniforms peeling characteristics and peeling characteristics in transfer processing and that enables a stabilized transfer result to be obtained, in a transfer apparatus for nipping a transfer film 46 and recording medium K with a transfer roller 33 and transfer platen 31 to form an image on the recording medium, preheating treatment of the recording medium K is performed before transfer processing. At this point, by determining a preheating amount corresponding to the temperature of the recording medium K, it is possible to obtain a stabilized transfer result in response to a change in transfer conditions due to a change in environmental temperature and a change in the transfer surface. Particularly, in the case of performing backside transfer subsequently to frontside transfer, since the temperature of the recording medium K is high, a preheating amount in backside transfer is made smaller than in frontside transfer.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: NISCA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuichi Aihara, Tetsuya Noda

Patent number: 9308766Abstract: Bookbinding apparatus adhesive applicator accurately, briefly controls adhesive temperature to a set value by selecting, in accordance with adhesive initial temperature, one of a plurality of temperature-controller heating modes defining different supply powers and supply durations for supplying power to an adhesive-container heater to control its heating temperature. A sensor detects the temperature of the adhesive in the container at applicator start-up, or on restarting a post-standby applicator. In accordance with the detected temperature, one of the heating modes is selected to heat the adhesive. The applicator warm-up time is thus set in response to the state of the adhesive: If solidified, the adhesive is heated and melted in a maximum supply-power, supply-duration mode; if low-temperature liquefied at, it is heated and melted in a second-magnitude supply-power, supply-duration mode; and if the adhesive temperature is high, it is heated and melted in a minimal supply-power, supply-duration mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Nisca CorporationInventors: Shinya Sasamoto, Atsushi Tsuchiya
