  • Patent number: 10406835
    Abstract: A transport roller for a printing apparatus transports a medium. The transport roller includes a shaft that extends in a direction intersecting a transport direction of the medium, and a wheel group in which a plurality of toothed wheels arrayed in the direction in which the shaft extends are held by holders. The toothed wheel includes non-formation portions having no teeth. The non-formation portions of the plurality of toothed wheels of the wheel group are arranged with an interval therebetween in a circumferential direction of the toothed wheels. The non-formation portions are cut portions that are formed when the toothed wheel is cut off from a base. The teeth other than the teeth adjacent to the cut portions are arranged away from each other at regular intervals in a circumferential direction of the wheel group.

  • Patent number: 10040301
    Abstract: A correction driving roller of a printing apparatus, which is used for transporting a paper sheet, includes at least one toothed roller that includes a plurality of wheels configured to be brought into contact with the paper sheet when the paper sheet is transported, and holders that hold the wheels, and is constructed such that the plurality of wheels are fixed to the holders while being arrayed in an axial direction orthogonal to the side surfaces of the wheels. Cut portions are formed on the wheel and are spaced away from each other when the toothed roller is viewed in the axial direction.
