  • Patent number: 9427894
    Abstract: Provided is an inexpensive anti-reflection article with a sufficient anti-reflection property by using an anti-reflection article manufacturing mold plate manufactured at low cost. In a method of manufacturing an anti-reflection article manufacturing mold plate used to manufacture an anti-reflection article provided with an anti-reflection surface in which minute convex portions or minute concave portions are densely arranged and a gap between the adjacent minute convex portions or minute concave portions is the shortest wavelength or less of a wavelength band for anti-reflection, the method of manufacturing an anti-reflection article manufacturing mold plate includes: molding an uneven shape on a surface of a receptive layer by causing an anti-reflection surface of another anti-reflection article to come into pressure-contact with the surface of the receptive layer including a curable base; and curing the receptive layer in which the uneven shape is molded.

  • Patent number: 9290026
    Abstract: A printer includes a printing portion, two plate-shaped first support portions, a moving portion, a restricting portion, and two second support portions. The first support portions are disposed opposite one another and support opposite ends of the roll. The moving portion supports the first support portions movably. The restricting portion restricts movement of the first support portions. The second support portions support the ends of the roll. Each second support portion includes a pivoting portion, a projecting portion, and an energizing portion. The pivoting portion is supported pivotally. The projecting portion projects from the pivoting portion in a direction that intersects an axis parallel to the plane of an associated first support portion. The energizing portion energizes the pivoting portion in a direction in which the pivoting portion pivots such that the projecting portion projects from the side of the first support portion that faces the opposing first support portion.

  • Patent number: 9148997
    Abstract: A work apparatus includes a drive motor, a tool head including a tool frame, a bearing, a tool shaft and a rotary tool, a frame tube with the proximal end connected to the drive motor and the distal end connected to the tool head, and a drive shaft rotatably inserted through the frame tube for transmitting the rotation of the drive motor to the rotary tool. The rotary tool is accommodated within the tool frame and is rotatable on the tool shaft, when driven by the drive shaft. The tool shaft is journaled by the bearing which is elastically supported by a flexible elastic member disposed coaxially around the bearing and interposed between the bearing and the connection of the tool frame or the frame tube. Undesirable vibrations caused by the rotation of the rotary tool will be effectively hindered from being transmitted to the frame tube.

  • Patent number: 9090109
    Abstract: A printer includes a printing portion, a cover including a first roller, a peeling mechanism including a second roller, and a first guide portion including a moving portion and a first restricting portion. The peeling mechanism is switched among three states. In a first state, the second roller is separated from the first roller. In a third state, the second roller is in contact with the first roller. In a second state, the distance between the first roller and the second roller is less than the distance between the first roller and the second roller in the first state. The moving portion switches the peeling mechanism from the first state to the second state as the cover changes from an open state to a closed state. The first restricting portion restricts the switching of the peeling mechanism from the third state to the second state.
