Abstract:
A sound absorber includes at least one cavity and at least one mouth to communicate the at least one cavity with an outside of the sound absorber. The at least one cavity includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side wall. The top surface includes the mouth. The bottom surface opposes the top surface. The side wall is extended to connect the top surface with the bottom surface. At least one of the top surface and the bottom surface is inclined with respect to the side wall.
Abstract:
A mount board tray is provided to hold multiple mount boards at different heights above and below the mount board tray. The mount board tray holds a topmost mount board placed at the topmost position among the multiple mount boards held by the mount board tray from below the topmost mount board. The mount board tray also holds a bottommost mount board placed at the bottommost position among the multiple mount boards from above the bottommost mount board at the same time.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a drawer unit configured to be drawn out from a body of the image forming apparatus. The drawer unit includes a carriage path for carrying a recording medium, a lock unit configured to lock the drawer unit in the body, a driving unit configured to drive the lock unit, the driving unit including at least a driving source, and a drawer unit cover configured to cover at least the drawer unit. The drawer unit cover is a part of an outer cover of the body arranged on a side in a drawing direction of the drawer unit. The drawer unit cover is attached to the drawer unit so that the drawer unit cover is removed from the drawer unit in a state where the drawer unit is attached to the body.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a body, a recording device supported by the body and including a recording section configured to form an image on a recording medium, and two roller portions provided to the body. The two roller portions are configured to rotate on the recording medium while the body is moved in a scanning direction for image formation. The two roller portions are combined into a roller unit to rotate coaxially.
Abstract:
A drawer unit including a housing and a drawer inserted into the housing in inserting direction and drawn therefrom in drawing direction is provided. A locking member is mounted on the housing or the drawer to extend in direction intersecting the inserting direction, and is rotatable on a rotating shaft extending in the inserting direction such that when the drawer is inserted, the locking member rotates from unlock position to lock position in locking direction while rotating from the lock position to the unlock position in unlocking direction prior to drawing of the drawer. A locking wall and a pushing wall are mounted on the other of the housing and the drawer. The locking member in the lock position is engaged with the locking wall. When being rotated in the unlocking direction, the locking member is contacted with the pushing wall, which pushes the drawer in the drawing direction.
Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus having a lens unit configured to include a plurality of lenses and a variable aperture mechanism capable of varying an aperture opening diameter, the image pickup apparatus including: in the lens unit, a variable aperture unit configured by integrating the variable aperture mechanism and the single lenses of the lens unit using a fixing portion.
Abstract:
A cleaning apparatus is for removing a toner from a surface of an endless belt. The cleaning apparatus includes a blade, a blade holding structure, and an abutment maintaining structure. The blade abuts on the endless belt that is supported on a tension roller. The blade holding structure holds the blade with its rotation restricted, in a movable manner in the direction of motion adjustment to adjust tension on the endless belt, and causes the blade to abut on a winding area of the endless belt with respect to the tension roller. The abutment maintaining structure allows the blade to follow up movement of the tension roller to thereby maintain abutment of the blade on the endless belt.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is disclosed, that includes multiple imaging units, a loading unit formed on the top face of the main body of the image forming apparatus, and a discharging unit disposed at the operation side of the main body. The image forming apparatus further includes multiple developer containing members disposed in the main body for providing the corresponding imaging units with developer, the developer containing members being arranged in a direction extending from the operation side of the main body. The developer containing members are detachable from the main body of the image forming apparatus, and can be handled in a space above the image forming apparatus, the space being limited to the width of the main body.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a natural circulation type cooling apparatus includes a heat receiver with a heat receiving surface on which an exothermic body is mounted, and containing therein a coolant, a condenser on a horizontally lateral side of the heat receiver, a radiator on a horizontally lateral side of the heat receiver and on a vertically downward side of the condenser, a vapor conduit configured to feed vapor of the coolant to an inlet of the condenser, a condensed liquid conduit configured to feed a condensed coolant from an outlet of the condenser to an inlet of the heat receiver, a coolant conduit configured to feed the coolant to an inlet of the radiator, and a circulation conduit configured to feed the coolant from an outlet of the radiator to the inlet of the heat receiver.
Abstract:
In an image pickup unit, a first optical system holding frame has a hole axis orthogonal to an optical axis of photographing light made incident on a first object lens group, and a through-hole portion through which a second optical system holding frame can be inserted and arranged is formed in the first optical system holding frame and the first optical system holding frame and the second optical system holding frame are set relatively movable in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the photographing light made incident on the first object lens group and the second optical system holding frame and a third optical system holding frame are set relatively movable in a direction along the optical axis of the photographing light made incident on a solid-state image pickup device such that predetermined optical performance adjustment can be performed during assembly.
