Abstract:
A tape cartridge (4) can be detachably fitted to a fitting portion (5) of a printer (20) and this fitting portion (5) is covered with a cover (22). When the cover (22) is closed, its protuberance (51) rotates a turning member (54), and an operation end (54b) of the turning member (54) moves a moving member (55). When the operation end (54b) runs over the upper end of a surface A of the guide surface (55a) of the moving member, the cover is completely closed and the turning member (54) is thereafter guided by a surface B and is held in the engagement state with the surface B. A head supporting member (59) rotates in the interlocking arrangement with the moving member (55), and a head (6) at the distal end of this member (59) is fixed at a printing position. The turning member (54) is separated from the protuberance (51) of the cover when the printing position is so formed. Therefore, a load does not act from the side of the head (6) to the side of the cover (22). When a cover open button (24) is pushed down, the turning member (54) leaves the surface B of the moving member, forming thereby a release state of the head. According to the present invention, a head release mechanism of a printer can be operated in the interlocking arrangement with the open/close operation of the cover, and no load acts from the head side on the cover.

A detachable metal binder in which a bottom plate (20a) is mounted on a spine (10a) of a cover (10) by means of a connecting pin (14) comprises restricting means (24) provided in each corner of the bottom plate (20a), the restricting means comprising a locking hole portion (24b) for locking a clamping portion (14c) of the connecting pin (14), a passing-through hole (24c) through which the clamping portion (14c) is allowed to pass, and a guiding opening (24a) for establishing a communication between the passing-through hole (24c) and the locking hole and allowing the movement of a shaft portion (14b) of the connecting pin (14) that connects an extended diameter head portion (14a) and the clamping portion (14c) thereof. A file comprising a cover (10) and a metal binder adapted to be mounted on a spine (10a) of the cover (10) in which the afore-mentioned restricting means (24) is provided in each corner of the bottom plate (20a) and in which a restriction opening (15) that allows the clamping portion (14c) of the connecting pin (14) to pass therethrough is formed in the spine (10a) at positions corresponding to the restricting means (24).
Abstract:
A binder assembly which is openable in the opposite direction, wherein it includes a turnable member (50) having binding rods (52) and a turnable member (40) having binding pipes (42) adapted to receive said binding rods, said turnable members being separately and detachably provided on both sides of a bottom plate (30) fixed to a back cover of a file in such a manner that they are turnable with respect to said bottom plate.
Abstract:
A tape printer for printing a desired string of data onto a tape-like printing object in which a plurality of functions can be set through only one physical operation means. When a character size setting function key is operated (S14), the location of a cursor on the display screen is confirmed. When it is located on the right of a begining-of-line mark, the character size throughout the text is specified (S24), when it is located at the begining of a first line of a paragraph, the character size throughout the paragraph is specified (S23), when cursors are located on the right of the beginings of the lines, the character size of each line is specified (S22), and in other cases, the size of characters on the right of the cursor in the line, or in the word is specified (S20, 21).
Abstract:
A tape printing device (1) is provided with second and third screen mode M1 and M2 in which an inputted document and the layout of the document are displayed at the same time on the same screen. These modes can be switched to each other by operating a simultaneous display key (23). The user can input a document so that the document of a desired layout can be prepared by viewing the layout on the screen. Therefore, an easy-to-handle character information processor such that the user of the processor can input a document while confirming the layout of the document on the same screen can be obtained.
Abstract:
A tape printer that can form a label which has the size desired by the user and on which blank spaces and characters are arranged as desired by the user and can reduce the useless consumption of the tape. The printer is provided with an expansion printing mode in which a pseudolabel larger than the width of the tape can be produced by dividing the tape into parts in the longitudinal direction and the parts are joined together in the direction of the tape width. At the time of printing in this mode, the quality of the pseudolabel is improved by printing markers indicating the positions of the tape where it is divided in the longitudinal direction in addition to character strings. The printer has a function to automatically determine the lengths of blank spaces on the front and rear sides of a character string and a function to print a dot matrix pattern in an area wider than character strings. The printer also has a function to feed the tape from, for example, the printing head to the cutter without printing when a printing stop command is given during printing operation and a function to print a character string even when a tape feeding motor is accelerated or decelerated. Because of the above-mentioned functions, desired blank spaces, etc., can be obtained and useless consumption of tapes can be reduced. Moreover, the printing device has a function to take in, and print 1/M-size numerical characters the size of which is reduced to 1/M of the em-size so as to enhance the diversity of printing of numerical characters.
Abstract:
A tape printer for printing a plurality of strings on a tape-like printing medium wherein printing of characters of each line inputted whose positions are reversed or exchanged is easily effected. Before a plurality of strings of characters of lines inputted are printed, the printing data whose amount corresponds to one line of a thermal head (15) are developed (S13, S14), and when the development of data on all the lines is completed (S15), data on each line is rearranged in a line buffer (50) in accordance with a line-correspondence table. Reversed or exchanged printing can be obtained by printing the printing data in the line buffer.
Abstract:
The invention intends to provide a seal manufacturing apparatus with which it is possible for a non-expert to simply form a desired seal, doorplate, nameplate and the like in a short time. In the seal manufacturing apparatus of the invention, a member (42b) of a resin, of which a portion or portions acted on by predetermined physical stimuli such as ultraviolet rays, laser beams and heat is changed to have a property different from that of other portions and of which either portion can be removed by an action with a predetermined fluid, is used as a seal face member (42), on which an imprint pattern of a seal is formed. In accordance with an imprint pattern of a seal taken in by information processing means, pattern transfer control means (20) controls as to application or non-application of physical stimuli to every predetermined minute unit area to exert on the seal face member of a resin physical stimuli corresponding to an imprint pattern of a seal so as to partially change a property of the seal face member. Then, a portion or portions, of which a property has changed, or portion or portions, of which a property has not changed, is removed by water and the like to provide a seal and an uneven patterned plate having a desired pattern.
Abstract:
An electronic printing camera in which an optical image of an object obtained with a taking lens is converted to an electrical signal by a solid-state image sensor and to an image signal by an analog processing circuit, the obtained image signal is converted to a digital image data by an A/D converter, the digital image data is thereafter stored in a RAM, and an image is printed out by a printer according to the stored data, characterized in that image processing programs for processing the digital image data stored in the RAM in different ways and for printing out them by a printer are stored in a memory means beforehand, one of the picture processing programs is selected with a plurality of button switches and the digital image data stored in the RAM is outputted to a printer according to the selected image processing program to control the printer. By selecting the program which outputs the digital image data stored in the RAM as a monitor image corresponding to the object image to a printer by the operation of a shutter button switch, a monitor print can be obtained immediately after taking an object.
