  • Patent number: 8549736
    Abstract: A component fixing device includes a holding portion for holding a component with a hollow portion while restricting a movement of the component; and a fixed portion elastically connected to the holding portion and to be fixed to an object. The holding portion is inserted into the hollow portion of the component for holding the component. The holding portion may have a center holding portion abutting against an outer surface of the component and a pair of arm portions disposed at both sides of the center holding portion and capable of bending relative to the center holding portion, so that the center holding portion and the arm portions sandwich the component.

  • Patent number: 6963723
    Abstract: A printer has a main body, a back delivery unit, and a media turnover guide that is detachably or tiltably mounted on the main body. When mounted in an operable position, the media turnover guide delivers printed media face-down onto the top cover of the main body, where they can be easily retrieved. When the media turnover guide is mounted in an inoperable position or is detached, the printed media are delivered face-up to the back delivery unit. The media turnover guide may have a simple structure with a curved surface formed by a back wall and roof. The printer may also have a stacker for stacking the printed media delivered face-down.
