A method for controlling a slitter-scorer apparatus in which a feed line for a paperboard sheet does not need to be stopped when order specification of cutting or scoring for the paperboard sheet has been changed, thereby reducing a setup time, is proposed. The method for controlling a slitter-scorer apparatus including steps of supplying a paperboard sheet along a feed line, and moving a slitter or a scorer in a vertical and / or a widthwise direction to a operative level where the surface of said paperboard sheet is processed thereby wherein: movement of said slitter and / or scorer is controlled such that said slitter and / or scorer either come into sliding contact with or is apart slightly from said surface of the paperboard sheet.

A conveyor belt comprising knit fabric of high practicality, and an apparatus which uses such a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes weft knit fabric. Suction of air from below belt(s) is used to convey sheet-like and / or small thing(s) which are object(s) to be conveyed that are placed. The strength of filament(s) of knit fabric at side end(s) is adequately maintained. Loops exhibit mutual intertwining of filament(s) Pitch Ps of loops in width direction is formed so as to be smaller than pitch Pg of loops in conveying direction. Adjacent loops are mutually flattened and filament(s) of loop(s) are entangled, mutual intertwining of filament(s) causes knit fabric to have suppressed percentage elongation and increased strength in conveying direction, fraying of filament(s) at side end(s) of belt(s) is prevented, and strength is adequately increased.

A transfer device has a cleaning arrangement for preventing any leakage of the toner and the liquid carrier remaining on a transfer belt. The transfer device includes a transfer belt onto which liquid developer images are transferred, the transfer belt being wound around a roller having an axial length of L1, a transfer belt cleaning blade to be brought into contact with the roller by way of the transfer belt, the transfer belt cleaning blade having a length L2 in the axial direction of the roller, and cleaning blade seal members arranged at the opposite lateral ends of the transfer belt cleaning blade in the axial direction of the roller and having a length of L3. The lengths of these members have the relationships of L1>L2 and L1<L2+2L3.

An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a first tilted position of a roller at which meandering of the belt can be prevented in a state that the belt abuts on the image bearing member and a second tilted position of the roller at which meandering of the belt can be prevented in a state that the belt is separated from the image bearing member, and a control unit configured to move the roller to the first tilted position if the belt abuts on the image bearing member while the belt is conveyed and move the roller to the second tilted position if the abutment of the belt on the image bearing member is cancelled while the belt is conveyed.

A charging apparatus including a charging tube which has an outer surface contacting a photoconductive medium and electrically charges a surface of the photoconductive medium, a shaft which is disposed in the charging tube and to which a charging voltage is applied, and a conductive member which is connected to the shaft and contacts an inner surface of the charging tube. A friction coefficient between the conductive member and the inner surface of the charging tube may be less than a friction coefficient between the photoconductive medium and the outer surface of the charging tube, so that a slip phenomenon of the charging tube is prevented.

Transfer roller(s) is / are such that either end thereof is formed from fibrous electrically conductive component(s) and such that cylindrical portion(s) in central region(s) is / are, for example, formed from metal roller-like structure(s), either fibrous electrically conductive component outer end being arranged so as to extend somewhat beyond either transfer / transport belt side. Furthermore, outside diameter(s) approximated by tips of respective individual fiber(s) of fibrous electrically conductive component(s) is / are somewhat larger than diameter(s) of metal roller-like structure(s). This makes it possible for electric field(s) to be applied, and for charging to occur, along the full width(s) of transfer / transport belt(s).

The invention discloses a pressing device applicable to assembly of polypropylene filter elements. The pressing device comprises an operating table, a top plate, a first air cylinder, a pressing plate, a second air cylinder, a bearing plate and a limiting plate, and is characterized in that the operating table is arranged on a bracket; the top plate is arranged on upright posts; the first air cylinder is arranged on the top plate; the pressing plate is arranged on a first piston rod; the second air cylinder is arranged at the bottom of the operating table; a second piston rod is arranged on the bearing plate; bearing grooves are formed in the bearing plate; and the limiting plate is arranged on the bearing plate through springs. According to the pressing device applicable to the assembly of the polypropylene filter elements, fastening plates are arranged in the bearing groves through the springs; the fastening plates are arranged in an arc-shaped structure; the fastening plates are pushed through the elasticity of the springs, so that the fastening plates extrude one end of polypropylene filter element skeletons which are placed in the bearing grooves, and the stability of the polypropylene filter element skeletons in the bearing grooves is improved; and therefore, the assembling quality of the polypropylene filter element skeletons and the polypropylene filter elements are improved.

A belt unit is provided with an endless belt, a driving roller, and a pair of guide ribs. The driving roller is disposed on an inner peripheral surface side of the endless belt and drives the endless belt. The pair of guide ribs is placed on each opposite widthwise end of the inner peripheral surface of the endless belt and contacts both end faces of the driving roller, thus preventing meandering of the endless belt. Additionally, the driving roller is equipped with a low friction region at both opposite lengthwise ends in a predetermined width and the low friction region is configured to have a friction coefficient that is lower than a friction coefficient of a region adjacent to the low friction region.
