Abstract:
A member moving mechanism according to the present invention includes: a first moving member that moves in a first positive direction and a first negative direction opposite to the first positive direction; a second moving member that moves in a second positive direction that is different from each of the first positive direction and the first negative direction, and in a second negative direction opposite to the second positive direction; a belt member that connects the first moving member and the second moving member; and a belt-member guiding member that controls a moving direction of the belt member, and changes the moving direction of the belt member at least once.
Abstract:
An arm unit includes a first member, a rotation shaft, a second member, a spring member, and a displacement adjusting device. The second member is expandably connected to the first member via the rotation shaft. The spring member is configured to bias the first member and the second member to a direction of expanding the first member and the second member. The displacement adjusting device is configured to displace the spring member at an amount of displacement less than an amount of displacement between the first member and the second member around the rotation shaft.
Abstract:
A toner container includes a body housing, the body housing being provided with a toner containing portion, an air flowing portion, an air inlet, and an air outlet. The toner containing portion is configured to contain toner for use in image formation. The air flowing portion adjoins the toner containing portion. The air inlet is configured so that air is taken into the air flowing portion therethrough. The air outlet is configured so that the air is discharged from the air flowing portion therethrough. The toner containing portion is separated from the air flowing portion by a partition wall and the toner container is configured to bring the air flowing through the air flowing portion comes into contact with the partition wall.
Abstract:
In a cable fastener, a fixing portion is a projection projecting from a second surface of a base portion that is opposite to a first surface for supporting a cable, and when the fixing portion is inserted into a hole of a plate-like support portion and then the base portion is rotated, fixes the base portion to the plate-like support portion. Two cable holding portions extend from the base portion toward opposite sides of the base portion, and are configured to be bendingly deformed toward the first surface of the base portion. Two engaging portions are configured to be engaged with each other such that the base portion and the two cable holding portions are kept to be in an annular state.
Abstract:
Apparatus main body of image forming apparatus includes first rotation portion, second rotation portion, and lever. Toner container includes opening/closing mechanism for opening and closing the toner discharge outlet, and first coupling portion that is provided rotatably with respect to the housing and configured to, when the toner container is attached to the apparatus main body, be coupled with the first rotation portion of the apparatus main body to be integrally rotatable therewith. The opening/closing mechanism includes second coupling portion configured to, when the toner container is attached to the apparatus main body, be coupled with the second rotation portion of the apparatus main body to be integrally rotatable therewith. The opening/closing mechanism is configured to open and close the toner discharge outlet as the second coupling portion is rotated. The second coupling portion and the first coupling portion are configured to rotate in conjunction with each other.

Abstract:
An optical scanning apparatus includes a reflecting mechanism, a light receiving element and a restricting mechanism. The reflecting mechanism reflects a light beam such that the irradiation point of the light beam moves in a predetermined scanning direction. The light receiving element is arranged in a movement plane defined by the light beam reflected by the reflecting mechanism, and the light receiving element outputs a light reception signal for adjusting the irradiation timing of the light beam in accordance with reception of the light beam reflected by the reflecting mechanism. The restricting mechanism positions the light receiving element relative to the movement plane.
Abstract:
An optical scanning device includes a holding member. The holding member has a boss part and an arm part that extends from the boss part in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the holding member and holds the cleaning member. The boss part is mounted with a posture correction member relatively movable in the movement direction of the holding member. The posture correction member is movably inserted into a groove between two second rail parts, and when the holding member moves, the posture correction member moves later than movement of the holding member, so that an inclined posture of the holding member is corrected by the delay operation in a direction perpendicular to the second rail part.
Abstract:
A charging device (51) includes a charging roller (65), a supporting section (71), a guide (73), a first biasing section (75), and a second biasing section (90). The charging roller (65) charges an image bearing member (50). The supporting section (71) supports the charging roller (65) such that the charging roller (65) is rotatable. The guide (73) guides the supporting section (71) in a first direction (D1). The first biasing section (75) biases the supporting section (71) in the first direction (D1) to press the charging roller (65) against the image bearing member (50). The second biasing section (90) biases the supporting section (71 toward the guide (73).
Abstract:
A printer (100) includes a casing (200), an operation section (6), a light emitting section (61), a cover (60), and a pressing member (62). The operation section (6) includes a reference surface (201B), an LCD panel (204) disposed along the reference surface (201B) and displaying predetermined information, and operation keys (202) disposed to protrude though the reference surface (201B). The light emitting section (61) is disposed adjacent to the operation section (6) and emits light based on predetermined notification information. The cover (60) covers the LCD panel (204) and the operation keys (202). The pressing member (62) presses the cover (60) and supports the light emitting section (61).
