Abstract: A pant-like absorbent garment having curved leak guard flaps has a gasket-like fit. A chassis of the absorbent garment defines first and second leg openings with curved cut-outs in the chassis. First portions of two leak guard flaps are bonded in a stretched position to the first and second leg openings about a periphery of the curved cut-outs, thereby forming finished seams. Leg elastic members can be bonded to the second portions of the leak guard flaps, thereby creating an even greater gasket effect. The resulting absorbent garment has a comfortable, gasket-like fit and an aesthetically pleasing, finished look about the leg openings.

Abstract: A paper feeding mechanism with a separator and paper blocking mechanisms. When feeding paper, a lift plate carrying paper is moved up to allow a pick-up roller and the separator to move one sheet from the lift plate. After feeding paper, the lift plate is lowered away from the pick-up roller, and the paper blocking mechanism pushes excess paper back to the lift plate.

Abstract: The invention is to provide a paper feeding apparatus and a driving method thereof for an office machine. The office machine includes a paper accommodating device and a paper processing apparatus. The paper accommodating device is for accommodating paper sheets to be processed by the paper processing apparatus. The paper feeding apparatus is for feeding the paper sheets accommodated by the paper accommodating device one by one to the paper processing apparatus. The paper feeding apparatus includes a pickup roller, a delivery roller, a pair of feeding rollers, a detection device, a transmission gear assembly, a drive motor and a controller. The detection device detects a leading edge and a trailing edge of the paper sheet delivered by the paper feeding apparatus. In particular, the paper feeding apparatus is a simple-configuration, light-weight and compact component and capable of feeding paper sheets accurately.

Abstract: A paper accommodating assembly for an office machine is provided in the invention. The paper accommodating assembly includes a first paper accommodating device for accommodating paper sheets to be processed by the office machine and a second paper accommodating device for accommodating paper sheets being processed by the office machine. In particular, feeding path of the paper sheets accommodated by the second paper accommodating device is established or blocked in response to the movement of the first paper accommodating device. The paper accommodating assembly of the invention can reduce space occupied by the office machine and avoid paper jam due to the closing of the first paper accommodating device.

Abstract: A single-button support mechanism is provided to improve a turning means joining an upper portion and a body of a device. The support mechanism constructs a pivot and a holding groove at the upper portion and, at the body, a cam trough, a button groove, and another groove for accommodating a retaining member to further hold a first spring. The cam is formed as saw type teeth at a peripheral thereof, and each tooth of the cam has a notch engageable with a position button. By applying the single-button support mechanism, the turning means can utilize the cam moving in the cam trough for engaging with the upper portion at a selected angle, and utilize the position button movable in the button groove for controlling the opening or closing of the upper portion.
