Abstract: An object is to cool electrical components mounted to an automobile efficiently. A cooling device for cooling a first member and a second member, includes: a cooling medium flow passage which is formed between the first member and the second member, and through which a cooling medium for cooling the first member and the second member flows; and a swirl generation enhancing portion disposed in the cooling medium flow passage and configured to enhance generation of a swirl of the cooling medium flowing therein.

Abstract: In a fuser, a cooling structure (5) is disposed so that a bend angle (&agr;) of a part bent during the time between an endless belt (3) coming in contact with a press cooling face (5a) of the cooling structure (5) and exiting from the press cooling face (5a) is placed in the range of 0° C.<&agr;≦7° C. A fixing belt has a minute hardness of 0.1 to 5 at least on the belt surface coming in contact with toner T and preferably has a gloss degree of 75 or more on the belt surface.

Abstract: The tripod attachment for attaching a pair of binoculars to a tripod has a friction force producing member providing friction force to hold the pair of binoculars at any desired position with respect to an attachment body when fastening a screw member to the pivot of the pair of binoculars and at the same time to allow the entire pair of binoculars to rotate around the screw member only when certain external force is applied to the pair of binoculars. Therefore, the horizontal correction of the pair of binoculars can be performed only by rotating the pair of binoculars; thus, the tripod attachment can be easily handled. When performing the horizontal correction of the pair of binoculars with the tripod attachment, external rotating force is applied to the pair of binoculars so that the entire pair of binoculars rotates around the screw member against the friction force.

Abstract: In this invention, even if a thick resin coated recording medium having large heat capacity is used, a high quality image with an excellent gloss feeling is obtained. A transfer fixing device is provided with a press conveying mechanism which includes at least one pair of pressing bodies for nipping and conveying an image bearing and conveying body and a recording medium, and contact-conveys the recording medium on the image bearing and conveying body in a region exceeding a nip region of the pair of pressing bodies, and a heat supply adjusting mechanism which includes a heating source for heating the recording medium contact-conveyed on the image bearing and conveying body by the press conveying mechanism from both obverse and reverse sides to melt an unfixed image and a thermoplastic resin layer, and makes adjustment to cause heat supplied to an image bearing surface side of the recording medium to be more than heat supplied to a non-image bearing surface side of the recording medium.
