  • Patent number: 7812484
    Abstract: To improve resistance of a motor device against an organic solvent and to suppress degradation in performance of the motor device with time. In a motor device, an excitation magnet is formed using a hollow-cylinder shaped anisotropic bonded magnet 13. This bonded magnet 13 is press-fitted in a housing 12 and is held. The bonded magnet 13 is formed of a hollow-cylinder shaped anisotropic rare earth bonded magnet which is obtained by compounding an anisotropic rare earth magnet powder with a phenol-novolac type epoxy resin, followed by molding. The anisotropic rare earth bonded magnet 13 is press-fitted along an inner peripheral portion of the housing 12, and on an exposed surface layer of the anisotropic rare earth bonded magnet press-fitted in the housing, a coating layer is formed by an infiltration treatment using a polyamide-imide-based resin.

  • Patent number: 5004217
    Abstract: A paper feeding device for a paper cassette of an image processing apparatus. The paper cassette is mounted at a specific position or the image processing apparatus in a manner permitting the cassette to be pulled out. A preliminary feed roller feeds the paper on the paper cassette toward a feed roller which is normally energized in a paper pressing direction. When the paper cassette is mounted in the image processing apparatus, the document setting board disposed in the paper cassette is upwardly turned by a pressing mechanism. When the paper cassette is pulled out, the feed roller from the paper cassette is turned in reverse direction. A feed channel to guide the paper from the paper cassette is formed in a curved manner, and a normally turned delivery roller is provided inside the curved channel.
