Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a glass container with which a glass container having a distinctively shaped inner space and excellent aesthetic appearance can be manufactured in good yield. The method for manufacturing a glass container includes steps (A) to (E). (A) A step of introducing a gob into a mold through a funnel. (B) A step of blowing air into the mold through the funnel, bringing a plunger disposed on a side opposite the side to which the funnel is fitted in contact with the gob, separating the plunger from the gob, and forming a recess on the surface of the gob. (C) A step of removing the funnel from the mold and fitting a baffle to the mold. (D) A step of blowing air from the plunger, and forming an inner space inside the gob with the recess as a starting point while simultaneously forming an outer shape by pressing the outer side of the gob to a molding surface of the mold to obtain a glass container of the final shape.

Abstract: An image processing system includes a main image processing unit and an auxiliary unit detachably attached to the main image processing unit. The auxiliary unit includes a first drive source. The main unit on the other hand includes a second drive source and a mechanism for transporting a sheet. These drive sources are so operated that when the auxiliary unit is attached to the main unit the transporting mechanism is powered by the first drive source in the auxiliary unit and when the auxiliary unit is not attached to the main unit the transporting mechanism is powered by the second drive source in the main unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has an image bearing member rotatable in a specified direction, a developing roller for supplying developing material to a latent image formed on the image bearing member, a spacing roller rotatably supported on a shaft of the developing roller and making contact with the edge of the image bearing member in the axial direction, and a seal member having a portion that contacts the image bearing member on the upstream side of the developing roller in the direction of rotating and a portion that contacts the image bearing member on the developing roller side. The spacing roller forms the desired developing gap between the surface of the developing roller and the surface of the image bearing member. The seal member sweeps the surface of the image bearing member so as to mainly prevent the adhesion to the spacing roller of the airborne toner which is in the vicinity of the surface of the image bearing member and the surface of the developing roller.

Abstract: In a charger, a plurality of rows of air openings are provided in a shield member. The rows are elongated in the longitudinal direction of stretched corona wires and each of the rows has a plurality of air openings. The air openings are arranged in such a manner that the numbers of the air openings in opposition to the same corona wire in the nearest position are the same when counted in the direction vertical to the length of the corona wire. As a result, soiled portions in the corona wires produced by air streams passing through the air openings are uniformly distributed throughout the whole length of the charger and each part of the charger has substantially the same charging power.

Abstract: A sheets handling device for use in association with image-forming apparatus, the device handling the sheets bearing an image fed from the image-forming apparatus such as copying apparatus and printers so as to discharge them face up or face down as desired, and also to feed them back to the image-forming apparatus for double-face or composite reproduction of image.
