Abstract: A printer that improves user convenience for rotating collation printing is provided. In a printer having a rotating collation function, multiple paper feed ports configured to feed paper, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a user request, and a setting unit configured to enable or disable the rotating collation function, the setting unit sets the rotating collation function to enabled when the acquisition unit acquires a user request to enable the rotating collation function, a first paper of a specified size that is fed in a landscape orientation and a second paper of the specified size that is fed in a portrait orientation are set in multiple paper feed ports, and paper feed port selection is set to automatic.

Abstract: Example alignment members are provided herein. In one example, the alignment member includes a frame member, a stiffener member, a bracket member, and a spring member. The frame member includes a set of roller bushings. The stiffener member includes a set of cam members. The bracket member to receive the stiffener member. The spring member is connected to the stiffener member. The spring member to expand and contract based on the position of the set of roller bushings.

Abstract: Apparatus having automated loading 15, nailing 22, and stacking 24 areas for wood components, wall panels or wall components is described. The apparatus includes a control panel 14 that allows automated selection 94 of the type of sub-component to be handled, the speed 98 at which the nailing and stacking operation is executed, the compression rate 100 in which the operation is executed and provides automated feedback 106 of the progress of the operation. A guide track 30, stationary 26 and powered 28 compression members and side conveyer belts 16 that work in conjunction with upper 18 and side 20 rollers allow for positioning, clamping, and movement of the raw material 70 into the nailing stage 22 of the operation. The rollers allow for the nailing process 22 before being moved to the stacking system 24.

Abstract: A device for assembling sash elements (12) in a frame (11) disposes over instruments (8) for clamping the frame (11). An angle template (7) is provided for inserting the sash element (12) which is freely movable on a predefined plane in relation to the clamped frame (11). The sash element can be held fast and be pushed into the desired assembly position at a set angle on the angle template.

Abstract: A tape stapling device made up of a body (1) with a container or store for a reel of tape, an upper framework (2) connected to the body, with a staple loader (18) housed inside it and with a lever (3,6) and an arm (4) secured to and pivoting on the said framework (2). The end of the arm (4) includes a mechanism which takes up the tape coming from the container (36) along an open groove, it pulls on the tape, later creating a loop on the inside of the arm (4) and finally it staples and cuts the tape which has already been arranged around the items to be secured.

Abstract: The machine of the present invention operates to automatically nail a combination of pre-cut wood boards together to form a pallet. The machine may be adjusted so that the size of the pallet can be varied as to dimensions and number of pre-cut boards. Once the pallet size and board combination has been selected, the machine is set up by moving jigs, stops, clamps and nailing heads into their proper operative positions. A number of nailing heads are adjustably mounted on a carriage that moves past a support on which the pre-cut boards are mounted. Both the top and bottom boards of the pallet are nailed simultaneously to the central or longitudinal board of the pallet. By way of a clamping system, the boards are squared and precisely positioned and secured together by clamping action. The carriage then begins to move and the nailing operations commence and continue until all of the nails have been driven into the boards of the pallet.

Abstract: A machine is disclosed for feeding button parts from a magazine to an attachment position. The machine includes an arcuate sliding surface which guides the button parts to the attachment position, and a transport finger which moves along the sliding surface. The transport finger is spring-urged outwardly to move the button parts in one direction, but is shiftable inwardly to pass over button parts when moved in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A copying machine/finisher system is disclosed as having a rotary sorter arranged to receive a stream of copy sheets produced by a processor in conjunction with an automatic document handling apparatus of the type which produces multiple copies of a document sheet placed at an exposure station. The sorter collates the stream into booklets as the sorter is rotated in an indexing manner. An adhesive binder and a stapler are selectively positioned to effect binding while the booklets are still in the bins of the sorter. Binding is effected in timed relationship with sheets still entering the sorter. The sorter/finishing apparatus may also be a stand alone system.

Abstract: An improved offset collator comprising a sheet gripper/injector transport station and an oscillating sheet receiving station. Copy sheets are transported to the sheet gripper/injector transport station in a specified sequence whereupon they are gripped by the transport station, and in a reciprocating motion, transported to the oscillating sheet receiving station where they are injected into a stack of sheets and released. The oscillating sheet receiving station is synchronized with transport station such that the copy sheets are inserted in the oscillating sheet receiving station in an alternate offset posture. A cooperating logic control system causes the sheets to be inserted into the oscillating sheet receiving station in the proper order and offset. After offset collation is completed, the offset stapling station then cooperates with the oscillating sheet receiving station to staple sets of sheets still in their offset posture.
