Publication number: 20220081232Abstract: A sheet-shaped-medium feeder includes a housing, a mount portion that is disposed to be vertically movable in the housing and that receives sheet-shaped media, a lift that includes line members to vertically raise or lower the mount portion by hanging the mount portion with the line members, and a discharger that transports the sheet-shaped media stacked on the mount portion. The mount portion is changeable to a long mount portion capable of receiving long sheet-shaped media by extending, further upstream in a transportation direction of the sheet-shaped media, an upstream end portion of the mount portion in the transportation direction of the sheet-shaped media. The lift has the line members attached at a portion of the long mount portion corresponding to an unchanged portion of the mount portion, and at a portion of the long mount portion corresponding to an extended portion of the mount portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2021Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.Inventors: Shoichi MAEDA, Masahito NIWA, Teruki NAGANUMA, Yuichi ARAKI, Yoshiki KIMURA, Yohei ONOUE
