Abstract: A cording reel device for winding up a cording of an electronic appliance from a section thereof intermediate its opposite ends. A first constraint plate is divided to define a cording insertion slot, with two divided halves of the plate being integrally connected together by a connecting portion. Coupling shaft segments are engaged with a circular hole in a second constraint plate to couple together the two constraint plates for relative rotation. Reel shaft segments outstand from the first constraint plate outside of the coupling shaft segments. An annular frame member is interposed between and along the outer peripheries of the constraint plates and affixed integrally to the second constraint plate. The frame member is formed with opposed inlet/outlets.

Abstract: A sheet sorting device for use with a copying machine, a simple printing machine, etc., which comprises a tray housing having a plurality of oscillatable trays, support means for the tray housing, moving means for displacing the support means so as to cause each of the trays in the tray housing to be positioned at a sheet introducing position, and control the moving means, the tray housing being progressively displaced to position the trays successively at the sheet introducing position so that the sheets may be introduced into predetermined ones of the trays.
