Abstract: A sheet transport apparatus includes a transport guide that is included in a first transport path along which a sheet is to be transported and a flapper that selectively guides the sheet, which is transported by passing through the first transport path, to a second transport path and a third transport path. The transport guide has an air-blowing hole that is positioned further upstream than the flapper in a transport direction of the sheet. The sheet transport apparatus further includes an air-blowing fan that blows air to the flapper from outside the first transport path via the air-blowing hole.

Abstract: When engagement of a lockup clutch is initiated, coupling of the lockup clutch is initiated in a state where a working fluid amount is sufficiently ensured by setting a condition that an engine rotation speed is higher than or equal to a limit engine rotation speed. Thus, it is possible to prevent rapid engagement of the lockup clutch. Here, the limit engine rotation speed is appropriately determined on the basis of a line pressure, and it is possible to reduce a delay of coupling of the lockup clutch by ensuring the working fluid amount while preventing rapid engagement of the lockup clutch.

Abstract: A switch device includes: a first touch sensor portion to which one end of a first wiring portion is connected; a second touch sensor portion to which one end of a second wiring portion is connected; and a touch wiring portion having one end of which is connected only to the second wiring portion and the other end of which is open; the touch wiring portion being arranged such that when one capacitance is produced between the touch surface and the first wiring portion by a touch operation, the other capacitance is produced between the touch surface and the touch wiring portion by the touch operation; and the touch operation is disabled when detecting the one capacitance and the other capacitance. A finger touches a portion other than a touch sensor portion (wiring portion), and the touch is disabled, and thereby, a high reliability is achieved.

The guide member includes a curved portion that is a curved portion of the guide member. The transport mechanism also includes a transport member that is disposed downstream of the curved portion in a transport direction in which the transport object is transported along the guide member, transports the transport object, and moves the transport object in an intersecting direction that intersects the transport direction. In the transport mechanism, when a length of the transport object in the transport direction is equal to or greater than a predetermined specified length that is greater than a distance between the transport member and the curved portion, the transport member does not move the transport object in the intersecting direction.

Abstract: A transport device includes an abutting member that abuts a leading end of a transport object and transport members that are disposed upstream of the abutting member in a transport direction and transport the transport object to the abutting member.

A larger number of transport members are used to transport the second transport object than the number of the transport members used to transport the first transport object.
