Abstract: A roller unit in which loosening of a fiber bundle is suppressed and the fiber bundle is easily held and released is provided. A roller unit 70 includes a guide roller 71 onto which a fiber bundle F is placed and a first yarn holding member 82 and a second yarn holding member 83 attached to a leading end portion of the guide roller 71 in the axial direction. The first yarn holding member 82 and the second yarn holding member 83 are arranged to be able to make contact with each other and to be separated from each other, and can hold the fiber bundle F by sandwiching the same.

Abstract: Control closely based on sets of winding data of a fiber bundle is performed even if at least one set of the winding data is skipped. A controller includes a data conversion unit, a reference data setting unit, a transfer unit, and a selector. The data conversion unit converts sets of first winding data generated based on winding conditions into sets of second winding data in which a processing order number is associated with information of a state of a winder. The reference data setting unit sets some of the second winding data as sets of reference data in advance. The transfer unit transfers a selected set of the second winding data to the winder, each time a unit time elapses. The selector is able to set an override value that is used for determining a skip number.

Abstract: It is possible to suppress damage to a yarn path guide mechanism and a textile machine. There is a first supporter which makes contact with a supporting shaft supporting a roller, a second supporter which is capable of making contact with the supporting shaft, and a biasing member which biases the second supporter in a direction in which the supporting shaft is sandwiched between the second supporter and the first supporter. When a virtual straight line which passes through a winding center and a rotation center is a first virtual straight line whereas a virtual straight line which extends in a direction orthogonal to the first virtual straight line and passes through the rotation center is a second virtual straight line, the second supporter makes contact with a part of the supporting shaft, which is positionally opposite to the winding center over the second virtual straight line.

Abstract: Time required for replacing a liner is shortened. A liner replacing device is configured to replace a liner for a supporting unit. The liner replacing device includes paired gripping jigs. The paired gripping jigs are aligned in a front-rear direction and are able to move toward and away from the supporting unit in the left-right direction. Each of the gripping jigs includes a first clamp configured to grip a winding-completed liner on which a fiber bundle is wound and a second clamp configured to grip a new liner on which no fiber bundle has been wound.

Abstract: An image recording device includes a pressing force adjusting mechanism that adjusts a pressing force of a developing roller that is provided by an elastic member, against a photoconductive drum. This provides for modification and adjustment of the pressing force of the developing roller that is pressed against the photoconductive drum by the biasing force from the elastic member. Consequently, even where the developing rollers have various radius dimensions or where elastic force of the elastic member changes, adequate pressing force depending on each case can be applied to the developing roller, thereby improving the recorded quality of the image recording device.

Abstract: An image processing device includes an image scanning unit, a first paper feed cassette, and an image recording unit. The image scanning unit scans a document placed on a document scanning surface, which defines a maximum document size. The first paper feed cassette accommodates recording paper of a size up to a first size, which is the same as the maximum document size. The image recording unit records an image on the recording paper. The maximum document size is defined by a scan maximum main scanning length and a scan maximum sub-scanning length that is preferably shorter than the scan maximum main scanning length. A record main scanning direction is parallel or substantially parallel to a long side of the recording paper of the first size accommodated in the first paper feed cassette. A scan main scanning direction is parallel or substantially parallel to the record main scanning direction.

Abstract: A paper feed cassette includes a pair of side guides, the side guides are arranged opposite to each other such that the side guides guide both side portions of the recording papers with respect to a transporting direction of the recording papers, and the side guides have a guide width adjusting mechanism for adjusting a guide width. One of the side guides is formed of synthetic resin and includes a position adjusting portion for operating the guide width adjusting mechanism, and the other side guide is formed of a metal plate.
