    Abstract: A latch mechanism of an opening/closing door, which is used in a device including an opening/closing door that opens/closes an opening of a device body by using the opening/closing door, restrains the opening/closing door at a closing position, and releases a restrained state when the opening/closing door is opened, the latch mechanism includes an elastic component provided in one of the opening/closing door and the device body facing the opening, having a spring member expanding/contracting to be elastically deformable in one predetermined direction, and holding both end positions of the spring member to be floatable via a holder, and a latch component provided in the other of the opening/closing door and the device body, coming into contact with the holder of the elastic component when the opening/closing door closes the opening, having a latch member restraining the elastic component in a state where the spring member is elastically deformed from an initial state, and moving the holder against a biasing force of the spring member to release the restrained state between the elastic component and the latch member when the opening/closing door is opened from the closing position.

    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting unit including plural light emitting elements arranged in one direction, the light emitting unit being positioned at a predetermined position at both ends in the one direction, the light emitting elements emitting light in a same direction; a dynamic vibration absorber including a weight positioned at a center of the light emitting unit in the one direction and an elastic portion that supports the weight such that the weight is capable of vibrating, the dynamic vibration absorber being attached to the light emitting unit to absorb vibration of the light emitting unit; and an attaching member including a portion inserted in a groove formed in the elastic portion of the dynamic vibration absorber, the portion being used to attach the dynamic vibration absorber to the light emitting unit.

    Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a first member that is provided on one side to lock and is rotated about a rotating shaft, a second member that is provided on the other side to lock and comes into contact with the first member to rotate the first member, a rotation applying member that further applies a rotational force to the first member rotated by the second member, a restriction portion that restricts movement of the first member to be rotated in a direction in which the first member is released from a locked state, and an elastic portion that allows the first member and the restriction portion to be in elastic contact with each other and allows the first member and the restriction portion to start to be in elastic contact with each other before the first member rotated by the second member is further rotated by the rotation applying member in a release direction which is the direction in which the first member is released from the locked state.
