Sheet Medium Transfer Mechanism with Multi-Axis Guide Faces

The patent introduces a new spatial dimension by adding a guide face that extends in the lateral direction (width dimension) rather than only in the transferring direction. This guide face creates a three-dimensional guiding surface that constrains checks of various sizes, preventing lateral falling while maintaining the ability to accommodate large formats. The guide face forms a lateral wall that provides dimensional control without restricting size adaptability.

The patent introduces a guide face as an intermediary element between the wide check inserting portion and the narrow conveyance passage. This guide face acts as a transition structure that gradually guides the check from the wide insertion area to the narrow transfer area, preventing direct collision. The guide face mediates the geometric transition, allowing easy insertion while ensuring reliable transfer by controlling the check's path through the intermediate guiding surface.

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by introducing a guide face that proactively prevents lateral folding before it can occur. The guide face extends in the lateral direction to create a constraining wall that counteracts the tendency of check upper portions to fold when protruding. By providing this preventive lateral constraint, the system allows large checks to be inserted while maintaining check integrity and preventing fold formation that would cause jamming.
