  • Control panel assemblies having rotatable input devices
    Patent number: 11822378
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a body and a control panel assembly coupled to the body. The control panel assembly may include a base plate coupled to the body, a display panel coupled to the base plate, and an input device coupled to the display panel. In some examples, the control panel assembly may move from a first position in which the display panel is at least partially retracted in the body to a second position in which the display panel and the input device are extended out from the body. The display panel may be positioned at a first predefined angle relative to the base plate and the input device may be positioned at a second predefined angle relative to the display panel.

  • PAPER CASSETTES TO ADJUST BETWEEN DIFFERENT POSITIONS
    Publication number: 20230059949
    Abstract: An example paper cassette includes a cassette portion; a sliding portion to slide relative to the cassette portion to adjust a length of the paper cassette, the sliding portion initially being in a shipping position defining a shipping length of the paper cassette and deployable to different deployment positions at which the paper cassette is longer than the shipping length; and a length selection mechanism to: mechanically select one deployment position of the different deployment positions, while the sliding portion is in the shipping position; lock the sliding portion at the one deployment position, relative to the cassette portion when the sliding portion first slides from the shipping position.
