  • Patent number: 10745226
    Abstract: A conveyance mechanism is provided. A bag body processing unit is installed with a roller unit. While the process transfer unit transfers a bag body processing unit from a first guide station to a second guide station, the roller unit moves from a first guide surface to a second guide surface and is placed on the second guide surface in the second guide station. In the second guide station, the roller unit is placed on the second guide surface, and a second guide part is moved from a first variation position to a second variation position while the roller unit is placed on the second guide surface, so that the roller unit is moved from a first height position to a second height position.

  • Patent number: 9250488
    Abstract: The flexible printed circuit board includes a base material with a connection terminal and a signal wiring formed thereon, a first cover layer disposed on a first side of the base material, and a second cover layer disposed on a second side different from the first side. The display panel is connected to the connection terminal. The first cover layer is spaced from an end portion of the display panel by a gap of a predetermined size thereby leaving at least one of the connection terminal and the signal wiring exposed. The second cover layer overlaps with the gap in a planar view. A second end portion of the second cover layer is disposed on an opposite side the display panel. A shape of the second end portion is formed to be wavy or concavo-convex including crests and troughs.

  • Publication number: 20110168829
    Abstract: A retractable lead of the present invention includes a brake trigger provided in the vicinity of the front surface of a body casing that contains a reel below a draw-out port. The brake trigger is attached in a state of being able to be pushed in the body casing in the direction opposite to the direction in which the lead is drawn out (backward) and being biased in the direction in which the brake trigger is pushed back. If the brake trigger is pushed in, an engaging claw portion protruding from the brake trigger engages with an engaging tooth portion formed on a flange of the reel, thereby restricting rotation of the reel in the draw-out direction.

  • Publication number: 20100302478
    Abstract: Light emitting diodes mounted on a LED board are housed in the inside of a mold from a side of the mold opposite to a liquid crystal panel. The LED board and a reflection sheet are arranged such that a distal end portion of the LED board and the reflection sheet face each other while preventing the distal end portion of the LED board and a portion of the reflection sheet from overlapping with each other. A thickness of the light emitting diodes in the first direction orthogonal to the liquid crystal panel is larger than a thickness of a light incident surface of a light guide plate in the first direction. A region where the light emitting diodes are arranged protrudes more than a region where the light guide plate is arranged in a direction away from the liquid crystal panel.
