Abstract: A strip of metallic fasteners in which a plurality of metallic fastener materials are aligned and adhered to each other, wherein a coating agent for adhering adjacent metallic fastener materials to each other includes 100 parts by weight of an acid group-containing styrene-butadiene base rubber and 10 to 100 parts by weight of a resin having a softening point of 120° C. or more, both being dissolved by an organic solvent. The strip of metallic fasteners are adhered to each other by a coating that does not contain a halogen compound. The strip of metallic fasteners has improved blocking resistance.

Abstract: To provide a strip of metallic fasteners adhered to each other using a coating agent that needs no halogenated substance, as represented by vinyl chloride resin, at all, achieves performance equivalent to or better than that of a conventional coating agent for metallic fasteners, and has an improved blocking resistance, which used to be insufficient with the conventional products, whereby helping productivity to increase and to reduce load on environment. A strip of metallic fasteners in which a plurality of metallic fastener materials are aligned and adhered to each other, wherein a coating agent for adhering adjacent metallic fastener materials to each other comprises 100 parts by weight of an acid group-containing styrene-butadiene base rubber and 10 to 100 parts by weight of a resin having a softening point of 120° C. or more, both being dissolved in an organic solvent.

Abstract: An identifying system of a manuscript-reading device, receives signals from a pair of sensors disposed upstream of an optical system on the manuscript conveying path while conveying the manuscript for reading an image. In the event that the downstream side sensor remains OFF a predetermined time after the upstream side sensor turns ON or the downstream sensor remains ON a predetermined time after the upstream sensor turns OFF, an identifying system then identifies the presence of a jammed manuscript. Only when both sensors turn OFF together does the identifying system identify a state of release of the jammed manuscript.

Abstract: An image forming equipment in which a fluorescent lamp is so preheated by controlling the current flowing level for the fluorescent lamp on non-copying after the power source is turned ON such that light energy of the fluorescent lamp becomes an appointed value according to the ON state of the fluorescent lamp on copying when controlling the light energy of the fluorescent lamp in accordance with the signals which come from the light energy detecting means provided at an end part of a fluorescent lamp which is provided in the width direction of the document to read a document image and copy the same by reflecting light to the image surface of the document.

Abstract: A heater control system has a phase control circuit coupled between a power supply and a heater to control the phase of current to be supplied to the heater. A short circuit device is connected to short circuit the phase control circuit to allow current from the power supply to flow directly to the heater. A control circuit allows the phase control circuit to operate for a predetermined time after the power supply is turned on, and after the elapse of this predetermined time, shorts the phase control circuit with the short circuit device. In a modification, the phase control circuit may be normally inactive, and be energized to reduce current to the heater when the power supply is being drained by another device.

Abstract: A method for controlling rotation of a fixing roller, the fixing roller being rotated by a first motor and a second motor, the first motor being driven at a high speed, the second motor being driven at a low speed, the torques of the first motor and the second motor being transmitted to a rotary shaft of the fixing roller through respective one-way clutches, the method includes steps of starting the driving of the second motor immediately before the driving of the first motor is stopped, and keeping the driving of the second motor at least until the driving of the first motor is started.

Abstract: The following is in reference to the electrostatic copying machine with image formation apparatus using the photo conductor.The invention is to compute the electrifier voltage that is able to get the desired charge at the developing section by detecting the charge capacity and potential falling amount in order to correct the change in charge amount affected by the potential falling. The invention is that the correction can be made even in the course of continuous processing and in order not to be affected by the aged deterioration of the photo conductor, memorize the voltage per photo conductor temperature after the correction of the processed number of sheets and renew the memory value with the latest data. The invention is that the degree of the potential falling by the temperature of photo conductor is affected by the quantity of light irradiated on the photo conductor--to change the degree of correction of potential falling in proportion to the temperature of the photo conductor.
