  • Publication number: 20070262512
    Abstract: A take-out device includes a take-out mechanism which takes out postal matters supplied to a take-out position at one end of a deposit section one by one, a separating mechanism which separates second and subsequent postal matters that are carried along with a postal matter to be taken out from the take-out position, and an auxiliary mechanism which applies a negative pressure to the postal matter on the take-out position so as to feed it in both forward and opposite directions. The separating mechanism applies a negative pressure to the postal matter on the conveyance path via a plurality of adsorption holes of a separating roller so as to adsorb it, and applies a separating torque in an opposite direction to the take-out direction thereto.

  • Publication number: 20070222137
    Abstract: A sheet takeout device includes a takeout belt brought into contact with a sheet set in a takeout position to generate negative pressure to adsorb the sheet, and traveled in a direction of an arrow T, and a separation roller which separates second and following sheets associatively taken out with the sheet. Triggered by detection of its leading end at a second sensor, an opposite-direction separation force is applied to the sheet to be conveyed via the separation roller.

  • Patent number: 7270326
    Abstract: A paper sheet separation and transfer apparatus has a take-out roller which takes out stacked paper sheets onto a transfer path, a first separation unit, and a second separation unit. When the front end of a first paper sheet in the transfer direction reaches a nip of the second separation unit, the take-out roller and first feed roller are “decelerated”.

  • Patent number: 7267339
    Abstract: An overlapped-sheet detection apparatus can detect whether sheets are overlapped and shift the same, if overlapped, for further processing. The overlapped-sheet detection apparatus is provided with conveying belts, forwarding and shifting rollers, motor and discriminator. Conveying belts hold and convey sheets on a conveying path. Forwarding roller is provided at the conveying path to forward sheets in a conveying direction and forward sheets in conveying direction. Shifting roller is provided opposite to forwarding roller to shift sheets back to a direction which is the reverse of conveying direction if the sheets are overlapped. Motor supplies shifting roller with driving torque to shift sheets back to the direction reversed to conveying direction. An encoder is built in motor to detect a rotation state of shifting roller. Discriminator judges from an output of the encoder whether sheets are overlapped.

  • Publication number: 20070052154
    Abstract: A paper sheet takeout device has a mounting base on which a plurality of pieces of mail are mounted in a vertical posture, floor belts partially exposed from the mounting base, a backup plate, a takeout roller and an auxiliary roller. A diameter of a pulley around which a floor belt on a downstream side in a takeout direction of the mail wound is set to be larger than that of a pulley around which a floor belt is wound, and the floor belts are driven by the same floor motor to thereby set a feed by the floor belt to be larger than that of the floor belt.

  • Publication number: 20060017216
    Abstract: A sheet take-out apparatus includes a first separation unit, a second separation unit, a drawing roller for drawing sheets from a nip of the second separation unit, and a pinch roller rotating in contact with it. Overlapping sheets which pass the first and second separation units and are not separated are detected to be overlapped in a state that they are clamped by the nip of the drawing roller and pinch roller. When overlapping is detected, in a state that the rear ends of the overlapping sheets in the conveying direction are restricted by the nip, the drawing roller and pinch roller are stopped and the overlapping sheets are re-separated.

  • Publication number: 20050104279
    Abstract: A sheet take-out apparatus has a table for loading a plurality of postal matter upright, a backup plate for pressing postal matter in the stacking direction and supplying them to a take-out position, a lower stream side floor belt installed so as to be partially exposed from the table in the neighborhood of the take-out position, an upper stream side floor belt, a take-out roller, and two auxiliary rollers. A difference in the projection position between the auxiliary rollers pressed by the postal matter supplied to the take-out position is detected and the inclination of the postal matter is detected. And, on the basis of the detection results, the moving speeds of the floor belts are controlled so as to correct the posture of the postal matter upright.

  • Publication number: 20040245706
    Abstract: An overlapped-sheet detection apparatus can detect whether sheets are overlapped and shift the same, if overlapped, for further processing. The overlapped-sheet detection apparatus is provided with conveying belts 2a and 3a, forwarding and shifting rollers 4 and 5, motor 6 and discriminator 80. Conveying belts 2a and 3a hold and convey sheets 1 on a conveying path. Forwarding roller 4 is provided at the conveying path to forward sheets 1 in a conveying direction and forward sheets 1 in conveying direction A. Shifting roller 5 is provided opposite to forwarding roller 4 to shift sheets 1 back to direction C which is the reverse of conveying direction A if said sheets are overlapped. Motor 6 supplies shifting roller with driving torque to shift sheets 1 back to direction C reversed to conveying direction A. An encoder is built in motor 6 to detect a rotation state of shifting roller 5. Discriminator 80 judges from an output of the encoder whether sheets 1 are overlapped.
