MEDIUM PROCESSING DEVICE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSACTION DEVICE
A medium processing device includes a first, second and third conveyance path, a classification section, a first, second and third switching unit, a first, second and third storage box and a controller. Each of the first, second and third conveyance paths has two ends. One end of the first conveyance path is connected to one end of the third conveyance path. One end of the second conveyance path is connected to the other end of the third conveyance path at a second side of the classification section opposite to the first side. The other end of the first conveyance path is connected to the other end of the second conveyance path. The controller controls the first conveyance path and the second conveyance path so that the first and second conveyance paths are driven independently from each other.
A developer supply member according to an embodiment may be configured such that in a case where a developer supply member is rotated at a circumferential speed of 136.1 mm/sec while an abrasive film including a grain size of 30 μm fixed on a stainless steel indenter including a surface in a shape of a 50 mm squire and a thickness of 10 mm is pressed into an elastic layer of the developer supply member by 0.73 mm, an amount of decrease in an outer diameter of the developer supply member, obtained by subtracting a value of the outer diameter of the developer supply member when the indenter is separated from the developer supply member 250 seconds after the pressed-into amount of the indenter reaches 0.73 mm from a value of the outer diameter of the developer supply member before the indenter is pressed into, is 0.03 mm or less.
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image, a developer accommodation part that supplies a developer, a developer supply duct that is disposed between the image forming unit and the developer accommodation part, a shutter member that reciprocates between an open position and a closed position wherein the developer is allowed to pass through the shutter member when the shutter member is at the open position, and the developer is blocked with the shutter member when the shutter member is at the closed position, a first operation part that comprises an engaging part, which engages with the image forming unit, and moves the shutter member either to the open position or to the closed position, wherein the first operation part causes the engaging part to disengage from the image forming unit when the shutter member exists at the closed position.
An image formation apparatus according to an embodiment may include: an apparatus body; an image formation unit configured to form an image; a movable unit accommodated in the apparatus body and supporting the image formation unit; a guide part configured to guide the movable unit from an inside of the apparatus body in a pull-out direction; a first rotatable member provided to the apparatus body and configured to guide the movable unit in the pull-out direction; and a second rotatable member provided to the movable unit and configured to be engaged with the guide part at a position on an upstream side of the first rotatable member in the pull-out direction. In a state where the movable unit is guided by the first rotatable member with the movable unit being moved in the pull-out direction, the second rotatable member and the guide part are disengaged from each other.
An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body; a cover member that is provided rotatable in a rotation direction about a rotation axis with respect to the apparatus main body, having an opening part, a fuser that fuses a toner image formed on each medium of media wherein the fuser is attached to the apparatus main body by being inserted through the opening part and detached from the apparatus main body by being pulled out of the opening part; and a sub cover member that has an surface portion and is attached to the fuser, wherein in a state in which the fuser is attached to the image forming apparatus, the surface portion of the sub cover is arranged within the opening part, the sub cover member moves in the rotation direction in correspondence with the rotation of the cover member.
This medium-discriminating device comprises: a magnetic head part that reads magnetism, through using a magnetic sensor, from a paper-sheet-form medium transported along a transport direction; a brush roller part in which a plurality of brush rollers, in each of which a brush having a plurality of flexible bristles is provided to the peripheral side surface of a roller, are inserted into shafts along a width direction orthogonal to the transport direction; and a support part that rotatably supports the shafts and allows the brushes to come into contact with the magnetic head part or the medium.
