Patent number: 11982687Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an IC chip holder capable of alleviating an impact if the IC chip holder is dropped or collides with another object. In the IC chip holder, an upper housing body is provided, on a side of electric contacts of an IC chip, with an elastic deformation portion capable of elastically deforming toward the inside of the upper housing body. Thus, since the elastic deformation portion elastically deforms toward the inside of the upper housing body, if the IC chip holder is dropped or collides with another object, the elastic deformation portion bends and the impact is alleviated. Thus, a possibility of the IC chip being damaged is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hidekazu Komiya, Koji Hayashi

Patent number: 10919324Abstract: A platen unit includes a platen, a mount portion, and a connection portion. The platen has a surface on which a print medium is to be placed. The mount portion is mounted on a platen support portion provided in a print device. The connection portion connects the mount portion and the platen such that a position of the platen is slidable, with respect to the mount portion, between a first position and a second position in a first direction and in a second direction. The first direction is a direction along the surface of the platen. The second position is located in the first direction with respect to the first position. The second direction is a direction opposite to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hidekazu Komiya
