Abstract: A limiting member (91) includes a main body (911) and a convexity (912) formed at the upper face of the main body (911). The convexity (912) protrudes like a key toward the front-face side of a case (1). The case (1) has a hole (92) storing the limiting member (91), the hole (92) having an inclined face (921) that is inclined obliquely upward from the rear-face side to the front-face side of the case (1). The hole (92) has a depth larger than the height of the limiting member (91) on the rear-face side, and has substantially the same depth as the front-face side height of the main body (911) on the front-face side. A document cover (4) has a hole (93) including a U-shaped concavity (931) that is open on the rear-face side of the case (1), formed on the front-face side of the case (1). When the limiting member (91) is located on the front-face side of the case (1), the convexity (912) engages with the U-shaped concavity (931).

Abstract: A document feeder includes a document load tray, a duct, a ventilating section, and an ion generating device. The document load tray is a member for loading thereon a document to be read and has a hole extending therethrough to provide communication between a document load side of the document load tray and a reverse side of the document load tray which is opposite away from the document load side. The duct is placed on the reverse side of the document load tray continuously with the hole. The ventilating section is configured to feed air present outside an image forming apparatus into the duct through an opening of the duct. The ion generating device is disposed within the duct and configured to generate ions for cleaning up the air fed into the duct by the ventilating section.

The first ferrite particles are spherical particles having an average particle diameter in the range of 50 ?m to 150 ?m, the content of the first ferrite particles with respect to the total amount of solid components being in the range of 5 vol % to 25 vol %. The second ferrite particles are irregularly shaped particles having an average particle diameter in the range of 50 ?m or less, the content of the second ferrite particles with respect the total amount of solid components being in the range of 5 vol % to 45 vol %.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes, for example, a first knob serving as a first operating member for manually turning a registration roller member in a sheet transporting unit and a second knob serving as a second operating member for manually turning a fixing roller in a fixing device. The first and second operating devices, such as knobs, are provided in such a manner as to be exposed onto a side of the apparatus body facing a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the cabinet may be opened.

Abstract: A spontaneously degradable fiber excellent in bulkiness, softness, stretchability and feeling, which comprises (A) a low heat-shrinkable fiber component comprising a high crystalline aliphatic polyester and (B) a high heat-shrinkable fiber component comprising an aliphatic polyester, e.g., a low crystalline or non-crystalline aliphatic polyester, and a block copolymer or a mixture the main component of which is an aliphatic polyester and which comprises a high-melting component and a low-melting component. Further, fibers excellent in self-crimpability or self-adhesion property and dividable fibers are obtained by suitably combining the fiber components (A) and (B) to form conjugated fibers or composite yarns.

Abstract: Record sheets on which an image is formed on the basis of image data supplied from a terminal apparatus, are efficiently discharged to a bin. A post-process section of a digital copier which is used in conjunction with at least first to third computers includes first to third bins, fourth and fifth bins, and a sixth bin, respectively, which are designated for the first, second, and third computers. To each of the bins, a priority of discharging to the bin a record sheet which is to be discharged to another bin is assigned. The section is configured so that, for each of the bins, the number of record sheets housed in the bin can be detected. For example, a record sheet on which an image due to the third computer is drawn is usually housed in the sixth bin. If the sixth bin is full, the record sheet is discharged to one of bins which are not the sixth bin and which are not the first and fourth bins respectively dedicated to the first and second computers, i.e., one of the second, third, and fifth bins.

Abstract: There are provided a conveying path provided in an apparatus body and serving to convey a sheet-like object in a longitudinal direction, a moving body capable of being moved to a position in which the conveying path is to be exposed and a position in which the sheet-like object can be conveyed to cover the conveying path, and at least three support members for supporting the moving body to be slid in an almost horizontal direction with respect to the apparatus body and to be separated or joined are provided on a lower end portion at the side that a user accesses for a jam processing in the moving body and both upper and lower end portions at the opposite side thereof. Accordingly, in the case in which the user is to carry out the jam processing by separating the moving body from the apparatus body, a jammed paper in the conveying path can be removed easily.
