  • Publication number: 20230339711
    Abstract: A transport device includes a skew correction unit configured to correct skew of a medium by colliding with the medium and a buffer unit provided with a contact portion configured to come into contact with the medium between a first transport unit transporting the medium to the skew correction unit and the skew correction unit in a transport direction. The buffer unit is configured such that a second transport velocity is lower than a first transport velocity, the first transport velocity being a transport velocity of the medium upstream of the buffer unit in the transport direction, the second transport velocity being a transport velocity of the medium when the medium collides with the skew correction unit after coming into contact with the contact portion. The buffer unit is configured such that the contact portion does not collide with the medium strongly enough to correct the skew of the medium.

  • Patent number: 9471103
    Abstract: A cradle connects with an information terminal device that displays information. The cradle includes a first case including a first claw portion and a curved surface portion, a second case including a second claw portion, and a shaft portion holding the first case and the second case. At least one of the first case and the second case rotationally moves with the shaft portion as a reference to thereby increase a distance between the first claw portion and the second claw portion.

  • Publication number: 20150105671
    Abstract: A biological information measurement device includes a device main body and a band configured to secure the device to a body part of a user. The device main body contacts the user's skin to thereby acquire biological information about the user, and presents a non-rectangular parallelogram surface in plan view. The parallelogram surface has two longitudinal edges disposed along a longitudinal direction, and two oblique edges disposed along an oblique direction that is transverse to, but not perpendicular to, the longitudinal direction. The band is attached to the oblique edges of the device main body, and generally extends in the longitudinal direction.
