Abstract:
To provide a rotating shaft with which flexibility of forming a bend is increased, and the strength is increased while reducing the amount of material. A V-shaped rotating shaft formed by bending sheet metal. An angle formed on an inner side of a bent portion is less than 90°.
Abstract:
A printing system including a printing device operable for applying one or more inks onto a substrate, and a heating device operable for heating the substrate prior to application of the one or more inks onto the substrate.
Abstract:
A printing device (102) is described in which there is a media guide (120) that is arranged to guide a printable media substrate (106) from an upstream media path towards an input of the printing device or away from an output of the printing device towards a downstream media path (114a, 114b, 114c). The media guide is movable between a first position (121a) and a second position (121b). In the first position the media guide is arranged to guide the printable media along a respective media path. In the second position, which is spaced apart from the first position, the media guide forms a buffer region (304) into which a variable amount of media substrate can collect.

Abstract:
A cast device useable with an image forming apparatus is provided. The cast device includes at least one tube and a cast body. The cast body includes the at least one tube implanted into the cast body using a combined casting process.
Abstract:
A drive transmission device where occurrence of impact noise at a connection section of the device is suppressed. The drive transmission device has a drive gear (71) rotated by power from a drive motor (70); a driven gear (72) rotated via the drive gear (71); a jaw clutch for transmitting the power of the drive motor (70) to the driven gear (72) from the drive gear (71), the jaw clutch having a drive side ratchet (71a) and a driven side ratchet (72a) that is movable in the axial direction of the clutch and mating with the drive side ratchet (71a); and a compression spring (76) for urging the driven side ratchet (72a) toward the drive side ratchet (71a). When the driven side ratchet (72a) is at a position (second position) at which the tips of the driven side ratchet (72a) teeth are at the same position as the tips of the drive side ratchet (71a) teeth relative to the axial direction of the clutch, urging force of the compression spring (76) acts on the driven side ratchet (72a), and when the driven side ratchet (72a) is at a position (first position) at which the driven side ratchet (72a) totally engages with the drive side ratchet (71a) in the axial direction of the clutch, the urging force of the compression spring (76) does not act on the driven side ratchet (72a).
