Abstract: In order to provide a laminating apparatus that enables a film to be loaded in a reliable and easy manner without a complicated structure, a laminating apparatus 1 includes a sheet feed mechanism unit 10, a film cassette 20, and a press-bonding mechanism unit 30 configured to perform thermal press-bonding while sandwiching a sheet with a pair of films. The laminating apparatus 1 also includes an openable/closable upper unit 5, and employs a configuration in which the upper unit 5 is provided with one pressing roller 31 of a pair of pressing rollers of the press-bonding mechanism unit 30, and an upper member of another mechanism for performing a process in a state where the sheet is sandwiched between the films.

Abstract: A printer forms an image on a print sheet drawn from a print sheet roll, with using a print head. A transport roller unit for drawing the print sheet from the roll and transporting it to the print head includes a drive roller for taking up the print sheet around a peripheral surface thereof for a predetermined distance in a transporting direction, with the printing face thereof being on the inner side, thus applying a transporting force thereto and an opposing portion for causing the print sheet into abutment against the peripheral surface of the drive roller.

Abstract: To suppress generation of scratches and dirt on a printed face and to intend to reduce in size, a switchback device (1) provided in a conveyance path (12) for a printed medium (3), for reversing the direction of movement of the medium (3) sent from an upstream part (4) of the conveyance path (12) and then delivering the medium (3) to a downstream part (5) of the conveyance path (12), comprises a pair of operation rollers (15) including a drive roller (13) for conveying the medium (3) and a slave roller (14) cooperating with the drive roller (13) to pinch the medium (3); and a changeover mechanism (16) for changing a direction of the pair of operation rollers (15) including the drive roller (13) and the slave roller (14).

Abstract: An ink jet printer of the invention is comprised of: an ink cartridge including an ink pack enclosing an ink and an air injection pack arranged adjacent to the ink pack; and an air feed unit for feeding the air to the inside of the air injection pack on the basis of the control of a controller. When the air is injected from the air feed unit into the air injection pack, the volume of the ink pack is decreased so that the ink is discharged from the ink pack, as the volume of the air injection pack is increased. And, the ink, as discharged from the ink pack, is fed to a printing head so that it is discharged to a paper.

Abstract: A photosensitive material discharging apparatus includes a discharge roller pair 41, 43 disposed in an outlet for discharging for a photosensitive material, and a plurality of transport roller pairs 70a, 70b arranged on a transport path upstream of the discharge roller pair. The discharge roller pair has a first roller 41 rotatable at a higher peripheral speed than the transport roller pairs, and a second roller 43 disposed to pinch the photosensitive material with the first roller. The second roller is freely rotatable to cause slippage between the first roller and the photosensitive material when the photosensitive material is pinched by both transport roller pairs and discharge roller pair, and to allow the photosensitive material to be transported reliably by drive of the first roller when the photosensitive material is pinched only by the discharge roller pair.

Abstract: A photographic light-sensitive material conveying apparatus for conveying a photographic light-sensitive material in a dryer chamber has a hollow guide member fixedly mounted in the dryer chamber for shifting the conveying direction of the photographic light-sensitive material. An air suction duct is connected to the inner space of the guide member. A plurality of perforations are formed in the guide member for communication between the inner space of the guide member and the interior of the dryer chamber. A conveyor belt has air permeability and is provided over the guide member for conveying the photographic light-sensitive material, wherein the conveyor belt can slidingly run on and along the outer side of the guide member.
