Abstract
A reception apparatus that receives an article discharged from a processing apparatus includes a first rod, second rod and a reception sheet. The first rod extends in a direction crossing a direction of the discharge below a discharge port of the processing apparatus in a gravity direction. The second rod extends in the direction crossing the direction of the discharge at a position farther away from the discharge port than the first rod. The reception sheet has flexibility, is supported by the first rod and the second rod, and receives the article discharged between the first rod and the second rod. The first rod is capable of being disposed at a first position and a second position which are different from each other in the gravity direction.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit having a discharge port;
- and
- a reception unit that receives an article discharged from the discharge port, the apparatus reception unit comprising:
- a first rod being disposed horizontally at a position below the discharge port in a gravity direction;
- a second rod being disposed horizontally at a position farther away from the processing unit than the first rod;
- and
- a reception sheet having flexibility, supported by the first rod and the second rod, and configured to receive thereon the article discharged from the discharge port,
- wherein the first rod is capable of being disposed in at least one of a first position and a second position which are different from each other in the gravity direction and each provided on the processing unit, and
- wherein the first rod has hooks at both ends, and the processing unit has first engagement holes in which the hooks are engaged in a case where the first rod is disposed at the first position, and has second engagement holes, arranged lower than the first engagement holes in the gravity direction, in which the hooks are engaged in a case where the first rod is disposed at the second position.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit having a discharge port;
- and
- a reception unit that receives an article discharged from the discharge port, the reception unit comprising:
- a first rod being disposed horizontally at a position below the discharge port in a gravity direction;
- a second rod disposed horizontally at a position farther away from the processing unit than the first rod;
- a reception sheet having flexibility, supported by the first rod and the second rod, and configured to receive thereon the article discharged from the discharge port;
- an adjustment unit configured to change and fix a reception length of the reception sheet arranged between the first rod and the second rod;
- and
- a release unit configured to release fixing of the reception length by the adjustment unit.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit configured to print an image on a sheet;
- a discharge unit configured to discharge the sheet on which the image is printed by the printing unit;
- a reception sheet configured to receive the sheet discharged from the discharge unit;
- a first rod extending in a width direction of the sheet and configured to support the reception sheet;
- a second rod extending in the width direction of the sheet and configured to support the reception sheet together with the first rod;
- a first supporting unit configured to support the second rod at a first height in a gravity direction;
- a second supporting unit configured to support the first rod at a second height, the second height being higher than the first height in the gravity direction;
- and
- a third supporting unit configured to support the first rod at a third height, the third height being lower than the first height in the gravity direction.
