  • Patent number: 7845637
    Abstract: Provided is a double feed detecting device, including: a first detecting unit which is disposed in a conveyance path of a sheet member, and detects overlapping of the sheet members which pass along the conveyance path; a second detecting unit having a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit which are opposed each other and disposed across the conveyance path, and detecting light which is irradiated from the light emitting unit and transmitted through the sheet member by the light receiving unit, and outputting a signal corresponding to a received light quantity; and a discriminating unit which discriminates the double feed when the first detecting unit detects the overlapping of the sheet members and an output signal of the second detecting unit is equal to or lower than a set double feed determination threshold value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7130245
    Abstract: A double feed detecting apparatus provided with an ultrasonic transmitter installed on one side of a transport path for a sheet material for transmitting an ultrasonic toward the sheet material, an ultrasonic receiver installed on the other side of the transport path for the sheet material for receiving the ultrasonic transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitter and outputting a received ultrasonic signal, a first determining device for determining whether double feed or not in accordance with the amplitude of the received ultrasonic signal output by the ultrasonic receiver, and a second determining device for detecting a phase change in the received ultrasonic signal, and determining whether double feed or not on the basis of the detected phase change.
