Patent number: 6929258Abstract: A sheet feeder for use, with a stack having plates and sheets alternating. Sheets are removed by being reliably suction adhered with a sucker. The sheet feeder includes a suction device, and the sucker and device are mounted at a supporting portion. In order to allow suction adhering of the plates and sheets alternately stacked in a magazine, the suction device is operated when the sucker is brought into contact with the sheet, and the sheet is raised separately from the plate. Thereafter, the sheet is suction adhered to the sucker by suction. This makes it possible to prevent the sucker from suction adhering to the plate together with the sheet, and only the sheet is reliably from the stack.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2003Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsukasa Ono, Takashi Koizumi, Yoshinori Kawamura, Kazuhisa Okamoto

Patent number: 6865987Abstract: A device for positioning a sheet-shaped material by providing a plurality of pairs of pins on a conveying path. Printing plate precursors are classified, on the basis of widths thereof, into large-sized and small-sized. Two pairs of positioning pins are provided for each size, and are disposed so as to be offset in a direction of conveying a printing plate precursor toward a rotating drum. A width of a small-sized printing plate precursor is smaller than a pitch dimension of a pair of positioning pins for large-sized printing plate precursors. Therefore, the small-sized printing plate precursor abuts and is positioned by positioning pins for small-sized printing plate precursors which are provided further ahead. Moreover, a large-sized printing plate precursor directly abuts and is positioned by the positioning pins for large-sized printing plate precursors, so as not to be interfered with by the positioning pins for small-sized printing plate precursors.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2003Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Koyanagi, Akihiro Hashiguchi, Kazuhisa Okamoto

Patent number: 6623003Abstract: A sheet material stacking device and an automatic exposure device for a printing plate, capable of stacking a number of interleaf sheets stably and efficiently. A pair of skewered rollers are provided at the sheet material stacking device used for the automatic exposure device. An interleaf sheet, which is fed from an interleaf sheet transport section, is guided by guide plates and nipped by the rollers. The interleaf sheet, while maintaining a so-called stronger pulling tension, is forcibly fed to an interleaf sheet accommodating section and stacked. Even if the interleaf sheet is thin, the interleaf sheet can behave stably as it is being stacked, and a number of the interleaf sheets can be stacked regularly and effectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2000Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Koizumi, Kazuhisa Okamoto, Yoshinori Kawamura, Yoshihiro Koyanagi

Patent number: 5597657Abstract: A slide surface construction is formed of an aggregate of Ni crystals having a face-centered cubic structure. The aggregate includes {220} oriented Ni crystals with their {220} planes (by Miller indices) oriented toward a slide surface and having a content S in a range represented by S<25%. If the content of the {220 } oriented Ni crystals is set in such a range, a large number of quadrangular Ni crystals are precipitated in the slide surface, so that the oil retention and the initial conformability are improved by the Ni crystals. Thus, the slide surface construction exhibits an excellent seizure resistance.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1993Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takahiro Gunji, Yoshikazu Fujisawa, Masamune Tabata, Kazuhisa Okamoto
