Publication number: 20240118654Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a body having an opening, a door on the body, a unit detachably attached to the body from the opening, a cover inside the door, a spring, and a lock. The door covers the opening at a first closed position. The unit is disposed at a mounting position inside the body. The cover is rotatable between a second closed position and an opening position in an opening direction. At the second closed position, the cover covers the unit at the mounting position. At the opening position, the cover forms an angle of 90 degrees or more with the body. The spring applies a force to the cover in the opening direction. The lock locks the cover at the second closed position. The cover displaced from the second closed position in the opening direction restricts a movement of the door to the first closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Nobuo KUWABARA, Hiroaki TAKAGI

Patent number: 11232893Abstract: In a magnet stack, an eddy current channel is cut off by an insulating layer in an insulating region of facing surface regions of the pair of magnets. Meanwhile, in a conducting region of the facing surface region of the pair of magnets, electrons can move between the pair of magnets via a conductor, and heat can be exchanged between the pair of magnets by the movement of electrons. Therefore, in the magnet stack, by cutting off the eddy current channel in the insulating region of the facing surface region of the pair of magnets, the degradation in magnet performance is suppressed and the cooling efficiency of the magnet is enhanced in the conducting region.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Nobuo Takagi, Motohisa Murata
