A printing device includes a sheet feeding mechanism that feeds the recording sheet by a predetermined amount at a time, a carriage that is movable, substantially at a constant speed, in a direction substantially perpendicular to a sheet feeding direction, and a print head mounted on the carriage. The print head is capable of simultaneously forming a plurality of print lines when the carriage moves. The print head is controlled to print a first print pattern that is formed by part of the plurality of print lines on an upstream side. The recording sheet is fed by the predetermined amount after the first pattern is formed. Thereafter, a second print pattern that is formed by part of the plurality of print lines on a downstream side after the recording sheet is fed. At least a part of the first print pattern overlaps a part of the second print pattern.

The ink cartridge has a first detection target portion for detecting ink level and a second detection target portion for identifying the type of an ink cartridge. The ink level detection device uses an optical sensor to scan the first and second detection target portions of the ink cartridge, and detects ink level and the type of the ink cartridge, that is, whether the ink cartridge is containing standard amount of ink or large amount of ink. Therefore, the number of image formation on recording media can be estimated, and failure in image formation due to a shortage of ink in the middle of image formation can be inhibited.

A camera zoom lens automatic magnification apparatus for automatically changing the focal length of a zoom lens wherein distances to at least three points on a subject--at the center, to the left and to the right--in the angle of view are measured by a range finding device and a zoom lens driving device for changing the focal length of the zoom lens is controlled by a control device according to the output of the range finding device. The control device consists of a first decision device to decide which point is the nearest by comparing the distances to each point measured by the range finding device, a second decision device which, based on the lens focal length corresponding to the closest distance as found by the first decision device and on the depth of field for that focal length, checks if there is any other point's distance that is within the depth of field for that focal length, a third decision device which determines the zoom ratio according to a predetermined program using the result of the second decision device, and an output device which drives the zoom lens driving device according to the third decision device.

A control device for use in a cargo handling vehicle in which a single power plant provides both the vehicle drive and the power to the cargo handling device has a continuously variable transmission. The cargo handling device is actuated by means of a hydraulic pump. Whether or not the cargo handling device is in operation the operator need not adjust the degree of depression of a drive pedal to maintain constant vehicle speed because automatic compensation means are provided for that purpose. The demands upon the vehicle operator are accordingly reduced.

A direct injection internal combustion engine of a compression ignition type in which portions of an injected fuel spray which have not been evaporated are prevented from striking the walls of the combustion chamber, and the fuel spray is prevented from catching up the air around it when moving in the combustion chamber, thereby providing an engine having reduced combustion noise, reduced amount of smoke and noxious emissions, and improved fuel economy. A combustion chamber is formed in the piston substantially in the form of a spherical cavity gradually narrowing towards the opening of the cavity at the top surface of the piston. An air intake mechanism swirls intake air supplied to the combustion chamber. A swirl injector injects a fuel spray substantially in the form of a hollow cone having a velocity component in a direction tangential of the central axis of the nozzle. The nozzle is offset from the central axis of the cavity and inclined with respect to the central axis of the cavity so that the fuel spray is injected in a forward direction of a swirl stream of intake air in the cavity.

An improvement of a plow or a harrow of the type in which a plurality of saucer-like disks carried by a rotary shaft inclined at an angle with respect to the direction of travel of a tractor are forced to rotate, thereby plowing uncultivated farm land. The plurality of disks or disk gang is supported by a parallel linkage system and the angle of the disk gang with respect to the direction of travel of the tractor can be freely selected so that, in accordance with the skill of an operator and soil condition which will be encountered, either the horizontal travel or the inclined travel may be selected.
摘要:
A tying machine comprising a bundle shaping unit including a pair of side aligning plates and a roller press which enables the bundle to be tied to move in a feeding direction while exercising a compressing force upon the bundle which has had its sides aligned by the side aligning plates. The tying machine also comprises a tying unit including a pair of oppositely disposed tying devices and press means which exercises a compressing force upon the bundle during the tying operation. The bundle to be tied is fed from the bundle shaping unit to the tying unit one by one upon completion of each cycle of the bundle shaping operation of the bundle shaping unit.

A transfer assembly includes a support member having a side wall that extends in such a direction as to intersect a line extending from the rotation axis of a transfer roller and that has a hole through which a support shaft is inserted with some play being present. The hole has such a shape that, at the beginning of a period when a door is rotated from an open state to a closed state and a positioned portion is in contact with a positioning member, gaps are formed between the support shaft and a wall surface of the hole on both sides of the support shaft in a radial direction crossing an arc that is drawn from a center of the arc at the center line of rotation of the door and that passes through the support shaft.

A developer collecting device includes a housing in which an opening disposed opposite to a developer holding member is formed, a collection member that is disposed to be capable of coming in contact with and being separated from the developer holding member and that detaches the developer and collects the detached developer in the housing, a sealing member that is disposed to be capable of coming in contact with and being separated from the developer holding member and that seals up a gap between the developer holding member and the housing, a suction passage to which a suction unit suctioning the developer into the housing is connected, a developer transport unit that transports the developer to one end of the housing, and a filtration member that is tilted so that at least an upper part thereof overlaps with the upside of the developer transport unit in a plan view.
摘要:
A developer collecting device includes a housing provided with an opening opposed to a developer carrying member; a collecting member provided along an edge of the opening at a downstream end thereof in a transporting direction of the developer carrying member, the collecting member removing developer from the developer carrying member and collecting the developer into the housing when the collecting member is in contact with the developing carrying member; a suction unit that sucks air from the opening; a flow rate regulating member provided in a suction path between the suction unit and the housing, the flow rate regulating member changing a flow rate of the air; and an operation device that moves the collecting member and operates the flow rate regulating member such that the flow rate regulating member raises the flow rate before the separation of the collecting member from the developer carrying member.
