Abstract: An enclosing apparatus for enclosing an enclosure into an envelope at an enclosing position includes a conveyance roller that conveys the envelope to the enclosing position and an envelope conveyance path through which the envelope is conveyed. An enclosing support is disposed in the envelope conveyance path and supports enclosing of the enclosure into the envelope. The enclosing support retracts a flap of the envelope from the envelope conveyance path while the conveyance roller conveys the envelope to the enclosing position.

Abstract: A medium processing apparatus for processing a medium ejected from an image forming apparatus includes a conveyor, a slit, a medium processing device, a stopper, and detectors. The conveyor conveys the medium ejected from the image forming apparatus. The slit communicates with an opening of a housing into which a medium is manually inserted from outside and includes a placement face on which the inserted medium is placed. The placement face has a first side and a second side orthogonal to the first side. The first and second sides are not parallel to a direction in which a side face of the housing extends. The medium processing device processes the medium conveyed by the conveyor or the medium placed on the slit. The stopper regulates edges of the medium along the first and second sides of the placement face. The detectors are disposed on the stopper to detect the medium.

Abstract: A liquid application device for applying liquid to a plurality of media to be crimped by a crimping device includes a liquid applier and a liquid-applier moving mechanism. The liquid applier applies liquid to the plurality of media. The liquid-applier moving mechanism moves the liquid applier to a first position at which the liquid applier applies liquid to a medium on a conveyance path in the liquid application device and a second position at which the liquid applier applies liquid to the plurality of media inserted through a liquid application slit of the liquid application device.

Abstract: A sheet processing device includes an upstream device, a downstream device, and a controller as circuitry. The upstream device includes multiple rollers to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction and perform a sheet processing. The downstream device is downstream from the upstream device in the conveyance direction. The downstream device includes a sheet sensor to detect the sheet. The controller controls a timing to rotate the multiple rollers of the upstream device to perform the sheet processing in response to a detection of the sheet by the sheet sensor.

Abstract: A sheet folder includes a conveyor conveying a sheet, a first folding roller and a second folding roller that form a first nip, a third folding roller forming a second nip with the second folding roller, a first guide movable between a first guide posture and a first retracted posture, a second guide movable between a second guide posture and a second retracted posture, and a motor. The motor rotates the second folding roller forward to convey the sheet toward the first nip, reverse to convey the sheet toward the second nip, moves the first guide to arrange in the first guide in the first guide posture or the first retracted posture, and moves the second guide to arrange the second guide in the second guide posture or the second retracted posture.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus for a vehicle, includes an electronic device, a waterproof housing that receives the electronic device, and a filter. The housing has a ventilation hole that penetrates through a housing wall of the housing. The filter is attached to a filter attachment portion of the housing wall to cover the ventilation hole. A wall surface of the ventilation hole includes a slope surface section that has an increasing cross-sectional area, which progressively increases from an inner end to an outer end of the slope surface section toward an outer surface of the housing wall in a penetrating direction of the ventilation hole. Furthermore, a distance between the filter attachment portion and the outer surface is larger than that between the inner end of the slope surface section and the outer surface in the penetrating direction.

Abstract: A waterproof case for housing an electronic component includes a case member that has a plurality of breathing holes, and a breathable waterproof filter fitted to the case member at a position corresponding to the breathing holes to cover the breathing holes. For example, open surfaces of at least two of the breathing holes, opened outside of the case member, can be made to face in different directions. Furthermore, the breathing hole has an open area on a side of the breathable waterproof filter, which is larger than an open area of the breathing hole on a side opposite to the breathable waterproof filter, in the case member. Accordingly, the waterproof case enhances waterproofness while circulating air between the inside and the outside of the waterproof case.
