Abstract: A fish-like artificial bait comprising a hollow fish-like main body made of a transparent resin material, a concave groove formed in a surface of the main body and served as a scale indicating portion, a heat pressure welded layer using a light non-transmitting transfer foil such as a metallic foil as its material and formed on the surface of the scale indicating portion excepting the concave groove, a light non-transmitting color painted layer formed on the surface of the fish-like main body excepting the scale indicating portion, a light non-transmitting color painted layer formed on the surface of the fish-like main body excepting the scale indicating portion, and a luminous material disposed on an inner side of the fish-like main body and served as a light source for light transmitting through the concave groove.

Abstract: A hybrid printer includes at least one impact type print head and at least one non-impact type print head, which are selectively used to print not only graphic information but also character information. For example, the impact type print head may be a type wheel print head and the non-impact type print head may be a pen print head. The print heads are selectively magnetically coupled to the carriage drive belt.

Abstract: A printing device such as a printer of the type using a type wheel in which a carriage is loaded with a printing mechanism and movable along a carrier to allow the printing mechanism to print out data on a paper, which is wrapped around a platen. The carrier and/or the carriage is produced by press-forming a single sheet metal to cut down the production cost and the number of structural elements of the printer.

Abstract: A driving mechanism for the carriage of a printer, having a motor with a driving pulley thereon, which has attached to it the ends of left and right cables, each of which is folded at its respective center. The folded portions of the cables are wrapped on a pair of pulleys mounted on the carriage.
