摘要:
A toner level detecting device on a toner supply box includes first and second light transmissive toner detecting portions connected by a connecting portion. An aperture between the first and second toner detecting portions is filled with toner when the toner level in the toner supply box is high. Light may be projected onto the first toner detecting portion so that it is aimed through the aperture and the second toner detecting portion. When the toner level in the toner supply box becomes low, toner will no longer fill the aperture, thus allowing light to pass through the aperture and the second toner detecting portion where it can be sensed by a light detector. Light may be attenuated as it passes through the connecting portion by an irregular surface portion on the connecting portion, by a light absorbative coating applied to a surface of the connecting portion, or by forming the connecting portion of a light absorbative material. A cleaning member may also be provided in the toner supply box to clean toner out from between the first and second toner detecting portions.

An air bag cover body forming apparatus, comprising forming molds (2A, 2B), groove-forming blades (3), and support rods (4), wherein the forming molds form a cavity (20) for forming a resin air bag cover body (1) having air bag door parts, the groove-forming blades form rupture grooves (11) determining the air bag door parts in the air bag cover body, and the support rods support the air bag door parts of the air bag cover body formed in the cavity. The forming molds comprising movable cores (21a, 21b) reciprocatingly movable between a position where the molds are allowed to abut on the air bag cover body and a position where the molds are separated from the air bag cover body, wherein when the cores are separated from the air bag door parts, the support rods are allowed to abut on the air bag door parts to prevent an excessive stress concentration from occurring in the rupture grooves.

An electronic apparatus includes a main body; a display portion, a responsive member and a frictional sliding member. The display portion is supported by the main body rotatably about an axis of a rotary shaft so as to extend and retract with respect to the main body. The responsive member reciprocates in a guide groove formed in the main body as a result of the extension and retraction of the display portion. The responsive member includes a first end rotatably attached to a rear side of the display portion at a position offset from the axis of the rotary shaft, and a second end including with an engagement piece engaged with the guide groove. The frictional sliding member is disposed along the guide groove and, when compressed by the engagement piece of the responsive member, the frictional sliding member applies a frictional force to the reciprocating responsive member. An image forming apparatus may include such an electronic apparatus.

A base station controller and a mobile station to achieve high speed transmission and effective use of radio resources in a radio communications system. A communication system includes a plurality of base stations in order to provide communication among a mobile station, another mobile station and a communication link. The communication links for use in the communication are selected base on the channel quality of the communications links. The communication information is then demultiplexed for each selected link, and the data is sent parallel by way of the demultiplexed communication information along the selected communication links to allow high speed transmission.

A multifunctional device including a lower frame, a main control board, and a cartridge holder. A conveying space is formed in the lower frame farther forward than a recording unit and includes a discharge space for receiving discharged recording sheet. The main control board is disposed horizontally above the conveying space when viewed from the front. The recording unit is disposed farther rearward than the conveying space, with its topmost part substantially equal in height to the main control board. The cartridge holder is disposed to the side of the conveying space and the main control board and fits vertically within the top part.

The opening and closing apparatus includes a lower unit case, an upper unit case, a hinge, a lower guide member, an upper guide member and an opening/closing linking unit. The upper unit case is configured to open and close with respect to the lower unit case. The lower guide member is disposed in the lower unit case, and the upper guide member is disposed in the upper unit case. The opening/closing linking unit includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member and a linking portion. As the upper unit case is closed, the opening/closing linking unit moves from the base end side toward the distal end side along the upper guide member and the lower guide member.

An image recording apparatus has an apparatus body; a display unit; a first axis, a first bearing, a second axis and a second bearing which support the display unit pivotably to the apparatus body; a separate part which is formed unintegrally from the apparatus body, to which the first axis or the first bearing is attached, and which has a key; and an engaging part which is provided to the apparatus body and which extends along a surface of the apparatus body, and which is formed with a receiving part formed for receiving the key; wherein the key has been engaged with the receiving part. Accordingly, the separate part is firmly and tightly fixed to the apparatus body, and the display unit is pivotally supported to the apparatus body in a firm and tight manner.
