Publication number: 20210191295Abstract: In an image forming device, a first fixing member has a roller. A second fixing member has a belt to form a nip together with the first fixing member. A first motor drives the roller. A pressure modifying mechanism modifies a nip pressure at the nip to selected one of a first nip pressure and a second nip pressure smaller than the first nip pressure. A controller starts driving the first motor to drive the roller in a case where a print command is received in a state that the nip pressure is the second nip pressure. The controller modifies the nip pressure from the second nip pressure to the first nip pressure after the driving is performed and fixes the developer image on the sheet in a state that the nip pressure is the first nip pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Fumitake TAJIRI, Yusuke MIZUNO, Tokifumi TANAKA, Tomonori WATANABE, Sadaharu KATO, Hirotaka !MAEDA

Patent number: 9458328Abstract: Emulsion paint type damping coatings show an excellent film forming property even if it leaves at low temperature from 5 to 20° C. It does not generate a defective coated film like swellings after baking drying and brings out an excellent damping performance within a range of 20 to 60° C. That is, it contains one or more than two kinds of organic chemicals within a range of 0.5% to 5% by weight in total and the MFT, the minimum film forming temperature of the entire resin emulsion is within a range of 5 to 15° C. and the boiling point for a film forming assistant is within a range of 150 to 240° C., thus, it enables to obtain an excellent film forming property at 5° C. and even in baking drying and does not generate a defective coated film like swellings as well. As a result, emulsion paint type damping coatings bring out an excellent damping performance within a range of 20 to 60° C.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignees: AISIN KAKO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masazumi Teramoto, Hirotaka Maeda, Junichi Kawai, Yutaka Ohashi
