Abstract: There is provided a punching unit capable of punching holes in high-performance by increasing a punching force and by rotating a punch. A guide hole that guides the punch in the vertical direction is formed to have a narrow upper part, a wider lower part and inclined surfaces between them. An actuation pin engages with a cam and the punch moves up and down to punch a hole when a cam member reciprocates. The actuation pin abuts with the inclined surface of the guide hole at the punching position, so that the punch is rotated and a cam inclined angle is reduced by an inclined angle of the guide hole, allowing a large punching force.

Abstract: A paper cutting device, for cutting multiple sheets of paper stacked in layers on a table, comprises a paper retainer (2) descending from an upper side along a guide and a cutter (3) diagonally ascending from the lower side. A receiving part (18) is mounted on the lower surface of a paper retaining frame (20). The receiving part (18) is formed by joining a base plate (36) with a large elastic modulus such as a metal to a resin receiving plate (37). A slip prevention structure is installed on the junction surfaces of the base plate (36) and the receiving plate (37) to suppress the extension/retraction of the receiving part of the paper retainer so as to prevent wrinkles from occurring in the paper near a blade receiving surface when the paper is cut off.

Abstract: There is provided a punching unit having a structure permitting to reduce a force required for punching, permitting to lessen parts and permitting to punch holes through a member to be perforated at arbitrary positions thereof. The punching unit has a holder that holds one or plurality of sets of punches and dies. The holder is movable in an array direction in which a plurality of holes to be perforated through the member is arrayed. An eccentric cam is disposed above the holder in parallel with the array direction. The punches within the holder are driven toward the dies by rotating the eccentric cam regardless of moving positions of the holder. Thus, the punching unit can perforate a number of holes greater than the number of punches held within the holder by sequentially moving the holder and by rotating the eccentric cam.

Abstract: The invention provides a rotary-type punching unit that solves a problem of a prior art rotary-type punching unit that its punching torque is highly peaked in beginning and ending punching, thus disabling to punch a heavy paper or the like and degrading the quality level of punch holes. A blade surface of a punch of the invention is formed as an inclined surface inclined with respect to the outer peripheral surface of a punch shaft or of a die shaft such that a leading edge thereof is higher than a trailing edge with an inclination angle within a range of 5° to 15° (preferably 10°). A die surface of the die is formed into a surface of a circular arc centering on a rotational axis of the shafts. Thereby, the peaks of the punching torque are reduced and the quality level of the punch hole is kept high.

Abstract: There is provided a punching unit capable of punching holes in high-performance by increasing a punching force and by rotating a punch while keeping the same basic structure with that of a prior art unit. A guide hole that guides the punch in the vertical direction is formed to have a narrow upper part, a wider narrow part and inclined surfaces between them. An actuation pin engages with a cam and the punch moves up and down to punch a hole when a cam member reciprocates. The actuation pin abuts with the inclined surface of the guide hole at the punching position, so that the punch is rotated and a cam inclined angle is reduced by an inclined angle of the guide hole, allowing a large punching force.

Abstract: There is provided a punching unit that is readily adjusted, is capable of always punching high quality holes through sheets and is steadily capable of discharging punch chips. A punch shaft and a die shaft are disposed vertically in parallel between side plates and these very punch shaft and the die shaft compose structural members (reinforcing members) of the punching unit. The die shaft has a die shaft body formed into a hollow cylinder and is provided with dies that correspond to the punches of the punch shaft at an outer peripheral surface thereof while fitting into die holes penetrating to the hollow section. A chip discharging screw plate fixed to the right side plate is disposed in the hollow section of the die shaft. Punch chips are transported along slopes of the chip discharging screw plate and discharged out of an opening when the die shaft rotates.

Abstract: A downsized and flattened exposure device is provided. A substrate (301) is supported only at either one side in the width direction (403) of the substrate surface that is orthogonal to the direction of the row and supported by only one enclosing member (201) at least in the section in the direction of the row of light emitting elements (401) where the light emitting elements (401) are arranged. With this structure, even if the substrate is supported at multiple points, the substrate is subject to almost no distortion due to multipoint support, allowing the substrate to have a reduced size in the width direction, further downsizing and flattening the exposure device.

Abstract: A paper cutting machine is provided for cutting a plurality of sheets of paper stacked one upon another on a table, including a paper support (2) that moves down from above along longitudinal beams (19, 19) and a cutter (3) that moves up from below in an oblique direction. The paper support (2) has a rest (18) for receiving a cutting edge of the cutter. The rest (18) is moved in a predetermined pitch whenever the number of strokes of the cutter (3) reaches a predetermined number. Accordingly, even when the cutting edge of the cutter cuts into the rest and becomes deteriorated, the cutter need not be exchanged immediately, the life of the rest can be lengthened and the number of sheets cut before exchange is necessary can be drastically improved.

Abstract: A punching unit is arranged so that a plurality of punches is grouped into a first group having a predetermined number of punches and a second group containing any one of the punches in the first group and having a smaller number of punches. A punching state of the predetermined number of punches is produced by reciprocating a reciprocating member within a first range and by vertically moving the punches of the first group through the intermediary of cams and followers corresponding to the first group and another punching state of the smaller number of punches is reached by reciprocating the reciprocating member within a second movable range and vertically moving the punches of the second group through the intermediary of cams and followers corresponding to the second group. This arrangement allows the number of punches and dies to be reduced as compared to the prior art.

Alternatively, the organic semiconductor film can be formed by the method in which the organic conductive high polymer compound has a molecular weight distribution range Mw/Mn from 1.00 to 1.85, obtained by dividing a weight-average molecular weight Mw by a number-average molecular weight Mn.

Abstract: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of preventing a fluctuation in image density immediately after the light quantities are corrected, and a method for controlling the same, when light quantity measurement is carried out at time t1, the controller CPU calculates the light quantity correction value ND. Herein, it is assumed that the light quantity correction value ND calculated previously, which is the light quantity correction value before light quantity measurement at time t1, is NDold, and the light quantity correction value ND calculated based on the light quantity measurement value at time t1 is NDnew. When the light quantity correction NDnew is calculated, the controller CPU varies the light quantity correction value ND from the light quantity correction value NDold a plurality of times by a predetermined variation value ? in the direction approaching the light quantity correction value NDnew for each of the printing sheets.
