Abstract: A cushion member includes a tubular cushion and an inner cushion. The tubular cushion is in a tubular form having a tubular axis extending in a first direction. The tubular cushion makes contact with an article to be packed from one side in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The tubular cushion deforms to damp a first impact applied from the second direction. The inner cushion is disposed in the internal space of the tubular cushion. The inner cushion deforms to damp a second impact when, after the first impact, with the tubular cushion deformed, the second impact is applied from the second direction. The lateral direction of a cardboard sheet constituting the inner cushion is the second direction.

Abstract: A packaging case includes a rectangular bottom plate, a pair of first lateral plates, a second lateral plate, a top plate, and a pair of third lateral plates. The pair of first lateral plates is connected, each via a first crease line, to two opposed sides of the bottom plate and each has an L-shaped first engagement groove. The pair of third lateral plates is connected, each via a fourth crease line, to two sides of the top plate parallel to the first lateral plates and each has an L-shaped second engagement groove bent oppositely to a bending direction of the first engagement groove in a state where the third lateral plates overlap the first lateral plates. When the second engagement groove is engaged with the first engagement groove, the first lateral plates and the third lateral plates are connected while alternately intersecting each other in thickness directions thereof.

Abstract: A retaining member has annular inner and outer circumferential portions, a connection portion, engagement projections, a slit, a grip portion, a first inclined surface, and a second inclined surface. The engagement projections projects from a shaft-facing surface of the inner circumferential surface. The slit is formed in the inner circumferential portion. The grip portion projects outward in the radial direction from an outer rim of the outer circumferential portion. The first inclined surface is formed at an upstream-side end part of the grip portion with respect to a direction of fitting to the shaft to be inclined outward in the radial direction from upstream side to downstream side in the fitting direction. The second inclined surface is formed at a downstream-side end part of the grip portion to be inclined outward in the radial direction from downstream side to upstream side in the fitting direction.

Abstract: A retaining member is integrally formed of an elastically deformable material, and has an inner circumferential portion, an outer circumferential portion, a linkage portion, a plurality of engagement claws, and a slit. The inner and outer circumferential portions are ring-shaped, and the outer circumferential portion is disposed outside the inner circumferential portion in a radial direction. The linkage portion connects the inner circumferential portion and the outer circumferential portion to each other in the radial direction. The engagement claws project from a surface of the inner circumferential portion pointing in a direction of the shaft, and engage with an engagement groove formed in an outer peripheral surface of the shaft. The slit is formed on a side opposite from the linkage portion with a center of the inner circumferential portion located between the slit and the linkage portion, and cuts the inner circumferential portion in the radial direction.

Abstract: A fixing device includes a heating source, a pressing member, a heating member, a nip pressure switching mechanism, a separating member and a restricting piece. The pressing member comes in pressure-contact with the heating member and forms a fixing nip. The nip pressure switching mechanism moves the pressing member between a first position and a second position. The separating member is movable between a separating position where the separating member is in contact with the heating member or faces the heating member and a cleaning position separated away from the heating member farther than the separating position. The restricting piece restricts the movement of the separating member under a state where the pressing member is at the first position and permits the movement of the separating member under a state where the pressing member is at the second position.

Abstract: A induction heating unit is configured to inductively heat a heating member being rotated in a predetermined rotating direction by magnetic flux. The induction heating unit includes a housing, a magnetic flux generating source, a core member and a securing member. The magnetic flux generating source is fixed to the housing so as to extend in a sheet width direction intersecting the rotating direction and is configured to generate the magnetic flux. The core member is made of magnetic material, is secured to the housing and is configured so as to make a magnetic path through which the magnetic flux passes. The securing member is made of thermal contraction material and is contracted by being heated at predetermined temperature to secure the core member to the housing.
