| 20090022516 | Image forming apparatus and damper - In an image forming apparatus, an upper unit rotates about a first shaft provided in an image forming device for forming an image on a sheet with respect to the image forming device. A slide portion is provided on the upper unit to slide in a forward direction toward a side of the image forming device in which the first shaft is provided and a backward direction opposite to the forward direction. The forward direction and the backward direction are perpendicular to an axial direction of the first shaft. A force applier applies a force to the upper unit in an open direction in which the upper unit is opened with respect to the image forming device. A force adjuster decreases the force applied by the force applier to the upper unit as the slide portion slides with respect to the upper unit in the forward direction. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090074457 | Image Forming Apparatus and Method of Adjusting Cover Position of Image Forming Apparatus - An image forming apparatus includes an outer case which includes a first opening portion and a second opening portion provided just below the first opening portion, a withdrawable part which is received in the inside of the first opening portion so as to be withdrawn from the first opening portion in a horizontal direction, a cover which closes the second opening portion, a rotary shaft supports the cover so as to be rotatable from a first position where the cover closes the outer case to a second position where the cover opens the outer case, and a position adjusting mechanism which moves up the cover so as to be close to the withdrawable part at the first position and moves down the cover so as to be away from the withdrawable part at the second position. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090148181 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND CARRIAGE - A side wall surface of a carriage is disclosed with two first projection parts and a second projection part that define the inclination of a reflective optical sensor in its vertical direction. The two first projection parts are arranged at the same height position with a detection surface as a reference, and the second projection part is arranged at a position higher than the first projection parts with the detection surface as the reference. The second projection part has a first part higher in position from the side wall surface of the carriage than the first projection parts and has a second part lower in position than the first part. The second part has a screw hole into which a clamping member for fixing the reflective optical sensor to the second part is tightened. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090238605 | LASER EXPOSURE DEVICE AND OPTICAL AXIS ADJUSTMENT METHOD IN LASER EXPOSURE DEVICE - In a laser exposure device according to the present invention, a positioning pin, which is formed in a lens holder supporting a lens system, is inserted through an elongated hole for restriction of a board holder supporting a laser diode. An eccentric cam is inserted into an elongated hole for rotation movement formed in a board holder and a circular hole for rotation movement which is formed in the lens holder and which faces the elongated hole for rotation movement. An eccentric cam is inserted into an elongated hole for slide movement formed in the board holder and a circular hole for slide movement which is formed in the lens holder and which faces the elongated hole for slide movement. The eccentric cams are rotated to relatively move the board holder and lens holder with respect to each other to thereby establish alignment between the optical axes of the laser diode and lens system. In a state where the eccentric cams are fitted into the elongated holes, the board holder and lens holder are fixed to each other by screws. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100329739 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALIGNING COUPLED DIGITAL PRINT ENGINES - The adjustment method aligns printing engines in a print assembly that is capable of printing on a receiver to form one or more final prints and includes corrections for cross-track misregistration. These adjustments are made in one embodiment by aligning two or more printing engines in an x and y direction relative to a paper path cross track reference and then aligning each printing engines in a cross track direction (z direction) relative to the paper path cross track reference based on measurements in the cross track direction (z direction) relative to the paper path cross track reference. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100329740 | ALIGNMENT METHOD FOR A PLURALITY OF COUPLED DIGITAL PRINT ENGINES - The adjustment method aligns printing engines in a print assembly that is capable of printing on a receiver to form one or more final prints and includes corrections for cross-track misregistration. These adjustments are made in one embodiment by aligning two or more printing engines in an x and y direction relative to a receiver reference and then aligning each printing engines in a cross track direction (z direction) relative to the receiver reference based on measurements in the cross track direction (z direction). | 12-30-2010 |
| 20140363206 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS HAVING PIVOTABLE SUPPORT MEMBER FOR SUPPORTING ELECTRIC CIRCUIT BOARD - An electronic apparatus includes a functional unit, an electric circuit board, a pivotable support member, an outer cover, and wiring. The functional unit is disposed inside the electronic apparatus. The electric circuit board is configured to control the functional unit. The pivotable support member is shaped rectangular having a vertical length that is shorter than a horizontal length thereof and is pivotally movable about a pivoting axis defined to extend along one horizontally extending side of the pivotable support member between a closed position in which the pivotable support member covers the functional unit and an open position in which the functional unit is exposed. The outer cover is disposed more outwardly than the pivotable support member. The wiring passes through a pivoting axis side of the pivotable support member to connect the functional unit to the electric circuit board. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20150016840 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A fixing device includes a pair of detachable rollers and applies heat and pressure to a sheet nipped between the rollers to fix a toner image formed on the sheet to the sheet. The fixing device includes a biasing part which gives a biasing force to bring one of the rollers into tight contact with the other, an adjusting part which adjusts the biasing force of the biasing part, and a guide indication part providing a guide for an amount of adjustment to be made by the adjusting part in accordance with the hardness of the surface layer of a roller of the rollers. | 01-15-2015 |
