Publication number: 20230418181Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, an opening, a cover, a toner discharge port, a shutter, a cylindrical structure, protrusions, and an identifier. The shutter is attached to the cover and includes a main shutter covering the toner discharge port. The main shutter moves between a closed position to close the toner discharge port and an open position to open the toner discharge port. The protrusions are on both sides of the cover and protrude in a direction orthogonal to a toner container mounting direction. The identifier is on the cover to indicate a toner color. The cylindrical structure's leading end is downstream of leading ends of the protrusions in the mounting direction. The main shutter's leading end is downstream of the protrusions' leading ends in the mounting direction when the main shutter is in the closed position. The protrusions are downstream of the identifier in the mounting direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yasufumi TAKAHASHI, Kunihiro OHYAMA, Masayuki YAMANE, Takeshi UCHITANI, Tadashi HAYAKAWA, Takuji TAKAHASHI, Shouji OKABE, Akira SHINSHI, Yuichiro UEDA, Masaki TAKAHASHI, Yuuki SATOH

Patent number: 11061227Abstract: A display device includes an image forming unit to form an image and project the image on a transmissive reflector to display a virtual image, an optical element to direct light of the image to the transmissive reflector, a wavelength selective mirror disposed between the image forming unit and the optical element and to separate infrared light from a light beam, and a shielding part to shield or attenuate infrared light. The optical element condenses external light travelling along an optical path opposite to an optical path of the light diffused. The wavelength selective mirror separates infrared light included in the external light condensed by the optical element, and the shielding part is disposed between the wavelength selective mirror and a focal point of the infrared light separated by the wavelength selective mirror. An apparatus includes the display device and the transmissive reflector.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: RICOH COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiro Fujita, Yuuki Satoh, Maiko Yasui, Takehide Ohno
