Patent number: 11709459Abstract: An exhaust device includes: a flow path section through which gas containing ozone generated inside a device body flows; a joint section connected to the flow path section with an inlet opening where hot gas generated inside the device body flows, and where gas containing ozone and hot gas are joined internally; a first air flow generator that generates an air flow which causes the gas containing ozone to flow through the flow path section and to the joint section; and a second air flow generator that causes the gas containing ozone and the hot gas to be joined and discharged from the joint section to outside the device body so that a flow rate of the joint gas discharged from the joint section to outside the device body is higher than a flow rate of the gas containing ozone to the joint section by the first air flow generator.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.Inventor: Shinya Mitorida

Patent number: 10353342Abstract: There is provided a medium cooling apparatus. A first cooling unit cools a medium by absorbing heat from the medium when the medium is in contact with an outer surface of the first cooling unit. A second cooling unit is arranged on the downstream side from the first cooling unit in a medium conveyance direction, and cools the medium by absorbing heat from the medium when the medium is in contact with an outer surface of the second cooling unit, and is set such that an amount of heat absorption is smaller than an amount of heat absorption of the first cooling unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Satoru Nishikawa, Teruki Kishimoto, Takashi Saeki, Keijiro Hamaba, Shinji Kawashima, Yasunori Momomura, Shinya Mitorida

Patent number: 9400477Abstract: A cleaning device includes a cleaning member that includes a cleaning portion that cleans a light transmission member, which has a substantially elongated shape and which transmits light, and a support portion that supports the cleaning portion and a wall portion that is disposed on one end side of the light transmission member in a longitudinal direction of the light transmission member and that has a surface that is formed along a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the light transmission member. The cleaning member and the wall portion each have a configuration in which when an end of the cleaning member makes contact with the wall portion and is pressed, the support portion is bent in a convex manner toward a side opposite to a side on which the light transmission member is disposed.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Satoru Nishikawa, Akira Numazaki, Hirotake Eguchi, Shinya Mitorida, Satoshi Takada, Taichi Fuchu, Nobuyuki Otani

Patent number: 9298159Abstract: A removal mechanism includes a removing member, an accommodation section, a receiver, and a cooling path. The removing member rubs against an extraneous-matter-adhered member, to which extraneous matter is adhered, so as to remove the extraneous matter therefrom. The accommodation section accommodates therein the extraneous matter removed by the removing member. The receiver receives, at a lower side of the accommodation section, the extraneous matter spilling out and dropping from the accommodation section. The cooling path allows gas so flow therethrough so as to cool the accommodation section from outside thereof. The cooling path is spatially isolated from a passage chamber through which the extraneous matter dropping from the accommodation section toward the receiver passes, an accommodation chamber for the extraneous matter in the accommodation section, and a chamber above the receiver that receives the extraneous matter.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinya Mitorida, Satoru Nishikawa, Akira Numazaki, Satoshi Takada, Taichi Fuchu, Hirotake Eguchi
