The present invention relates to a cable wiring structure of an electronic apparatus that has such a movable unit as an opening/closing unit and a rotary unit. The cable wiring structure is provided to suppress the wearing of a cable to improve the durability of the cable, and to offer other advantages. The cable wiring structure applies to an electronic apparatus having movable units (hinge mechanism, rotation mechanism). The cable according to the structure has an extra length portion, which gives the cable a length necessary for the cable, for example, to pass through the movable units, and which is housed in a cable housing unit. The cable housing unit is formed on the electronic apparatus, where the cable housing unit arranges the extra length portion in a sinuous form and allows a shift in the extra length portion caused by a move of the movable unit.

Disclosed is a liquid detection device wherein a condition in which there is no liquid remaining in either a storage member or a tank and a condition in which there is liquid remaining in at least either the storage member or the tank are easily discriminated using a single mechanism. When there is oil (liquid) remaining in at least either the oil tank or the impregnated member (storage member), light emitted from a light emitting part is passed into the oil through a prism face located partway along the light path, and does not reach a light receiving part. On the other hand, when there is no oil remaining in either the oil tank or the impregnated member, the emitted light reaches the light receiving part. When the oil tank itself is not mounted, the light emitted from the light emitting part also reaches the light receiving part. When the light emitted from the light emitting part is not detected by the light receiving part, a controller determines that there is oil.

A tilting hinge is disposed on a fixed housing and includes a rotating shaft, a bearing, and a movable piece. The rotating shaft includes a protrusion. Meanwhile, a lower half of the rotating shaft has a spiral curved surface. The bearing is provided with a spiral groove following the lower half of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is biased toward the groove on the bearing by use of presser bar springs. Tilting of the movable housing causes the protrusion on the rotating shaft to slide on a surface of the groove on the bearing, and a rotation center of the rotating shaft to move upward.

The present invention relates to a portable printer suitable for hand-carrying and transporting, and provides a portable printer which is easily carried and transported and provides less possibility of damage to the printing mechanism, and comprises a plurality of casings 1, 2, a printing mechanism 10 housed in the casing 1, 2 for performing a printing of a paper 100, and connecting means 3 for connecting the plurality of casings 1, 2 by mating wider surfaces 1a and 2a among outer surfaces of the casings 1, 2 when a printing of the paper 100 by the printing mechanism 10 is performed, and when a printing is not performed, the relative positional relationship of the plurality of casings 1, 2 can be varied to form an essentially flat configuration overall. With this construction, when a printing of the paper 100 is performed by the printing mechanism 10, the plurality of casings 1 and 2 are connected by mating the wider surfaces 1a and 2a of the outer surfaces of the casings 1 and 2 by the connecting means, and when a printing is not performed, the relative positional relationship of the plurality of casings 1, 2 is changed so that the plurality of casings 1, 2 form an essentially flat configuration overall. In either case, the printing mechanism 10 is housed within the casing and is not externally exposed.
