Patent number: 7558514Abstract: Disclosed is a toner supply device including a toner container section (21b), a rotating shaft (31) provided in the toner container section (21b), and a stirring member (32) for stirring and feeding toner T to a supply opening (21d) formed in the toner container section (21b). The stirring member (32) includes an attachment portion (32c) fixedly attached to the rotating shaft (31) and a free end portion (32d) free to the rotating shaft (31). The free end portion (32d) has a stiffness lower than the attachment portion (32c). With this construction, a toner feeding rate can be maintained by the attachment portion (32c) and sound occurring at a release of the free end portion (32d) can be suppressed due to the free end portion (32d).Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventor: Kazuyoshi Yamamura

Publication number: 20060255528Abstract: A sheet separating/conveying mechanism 30 has an upper unit 30a in which a paper feed roller 31 and other components are arranged and a lower unit 30b in which a separating roller 32, an arm member 36, and other components are arranged. The arm member 36 is U-shaped as seen in a plan view by being composed of a left and a right movable lever 36a that are mutually parallel and that make contact with both ends of a center shaft 23b and a pivot shaft 36b that supports the movable levers 36a so that they are rotatable in a direction indicated by arrow BB?. The movable levers 36a have locking holes 39 formed at the tip ends thereof, and the lower ends of tension springs 38 are locked in those locking holes 39. The lower unit 30b is fitted with an applied force adjusting member 45 on which locking portions 42a and 42b are formed to protrude therefrom leftward and rightward that permit adjustment of the positions at which the upper ends of the tension springs 38 are locked.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Takehiko Okada, Shinji Yoshinaga, Masaki Satoh, Kazuyoshi Yamamura, Susumu Hanano, Masami Fuchi, Nobuhiro Nishioka, Hironori Daigo

Patent number: 5351945Abstract: An overlapped transfer-preventing mechanism that is inexpensive, simple in construction, requires no actuator and has a high degree of freedom of layout. The mechanism includes an upper, rotatably driven, separating roll and a pivot integrated with a lower separating roll. The pivot is provided with a one-way clutch which prevents rotation of the pivot in a paper-supplying direction but which permits rotation of the pivot in the direction opposite the paper-supplying direction. The one-way clutch has mounted on it a lever member, which is engaged with a paper-carrying plate by an upward or downward moving operation of the paper-carrying plate so as to rotate the one-way clutch in the direction opposite the paper-supplying direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1993Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: Mita Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiyuki Asakawa, Kazuyoshi Yamamura, Toshinori Muraoka, Masaru Hatano
