Patent number: 8891143Abstract: A sheet feeding device includes a sheet supporting portion, a sheet feeding portion, and a movable regulating portion. The sheet feeding portion feeds a sheet bundle uppermost sheet. The movable regulating portion is disposed downstream of the sheet bundle in a sheet feeding direction such that the movable regulating portion is tiltable between a regulation position and a regulation release position. While the movable regulating portion regulates the sheet bundle movement in the regulation position, the sheet feeding portion forms a loop in the uppermost sheet between the sheet feeding portion and the movable regulating portion, the movable regulating portion is moved to the regulation release position after loop formation to remove the formed loop, and the movable regulating portion is returned to the regulation position after loop removal such that the movable regulating portion raises the uppermost sheet leading end to separate the uppermost sheet from other sheets.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Akira Omori

Patent number: 3980513Abstract: A composite structure is prepared by extruding a molten thermoplastic resin and foaming agent through a die and simultaneously quenching and taking-up the extrudate under such conditions that the extrudate is fibrillated just as it leaves the die exit without passing through the foamed state. The unopened, sheet-formed and reticulated fibrous structures thus obtained are laminated, pulled apart and pressed. The composite product consists of a fine and uniform fibrillar structure having superior mechanical strength and pliability and are useful for a wide range of applications such as paper substitute, artificial wood veneer and the like. Colored products are also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1974Date of Patent: September 14, 1976Assignee: Teijin LimitedInventors: Akira Omori, Isao Okamura, Tadasi Imoto, Tadayuki Katoh
