Abstract: A washing tub and an outer tub are inclined together by a tub posture tilting mechanism. The tub posture tilting mechanism is constituted of a link mechanism structure. One of the tub posture tilting mechanism comprises mainly a pair of beams mounted integrally on the outer tub, a pair of bases mounted turnable on the beams, a crank mounted turnable on a rear base and an arm mounted turnable on the crank and mounted on a motor. The motor is mounted integrally on the rear base and drives the tub posture tilting mechanism. Another of the tub posture tilting mechanism comprises mainly a pair bases mounted turnable on the outer tub, a crank mounted turnable on a rear base and an arm mounted turnable on the crank and mounted turnable on a motor. The motor is mounted integrally on the outer tub and drives the tub posture tilting mechanism. A delicate washing clothes is washed softly in a triangular washing region at a uniform inclined state of the washing tub.

Abstract: A washing/drying machine capable of effecting washing and drying as a continuous process. Washing, rinsing, dehydrating and drying are performed while a rotary basket is retained in a vertical position. After the dehydration the rotary basket is inclined and is rotated on its axis, so that an opening end of the rotary basket is located slightly higher than the horizontal. In this state, hot air for drying is blown into the rotary basket from the opening side.

Abstract: A drive motor is premounted on one control substrate disposed only on one side of a body. The control substrate, a mounting plate on which a collet mechanism and others are installed, a head mechanism, a stepping motor, and a front panel are detachably provided on the body at every part. After general assembly of the magnetic disc driving device, parts which constitute the magnetic disc driving device can thus be checked and serviced in a simple manner.

Abstract: A coordinate input apparatus including transparent upper and lower strip electrodes arranged to confront each other intersectionally with a transparent press-conductive member being placed between the upper and lower electrodes. The electrode arrangement formed on a transparent substrate is fitted on a display screen, allowing the operator to press the coordinate surface by the finger tip while viewing the display. An upper and lower strip electrodes become conductive by being pressed, generating a signal which represents the pressed position on the coordinates.
