  • Patent number: 8096663
    Abstract: A projection display device accommodates, in a main body cabinet, a projection lens section to which light modulated by a light modulating element is entered, and a mirror section that reflects light transmitted through the projection lens section and directs the light to a projection plane. When the main body cabinet is mounted on a mounting plane so that the light transmitted through the projection lens section may get away from the mounting plane, a holding member which holds the main body cabinet in a upright state with regard to the mounting plane is mounted on the main body cabinet.

  • Patent number: 7255446
    Abstract: A projection type video display capable of reducing components in number, and attempting to improve a cooling efficiency and a silencing of the video display is provided. Three cooling fans are provided on a plate member arranged within a chassis of the video display of a liquid crystal projector. The plate member is arranged in such a manner as to be spaced apart from a bottom plate of a chassis of the video display in order to form a single external-air introducing duct. Double-bottomed structure is formed by the plate member, and the plate member is used as a bottom for arranging components. Each cooling fan sucks external air from the single external-air introducing duct, and blows the external air from a blowing duct to an object to be cooled (a light source, a liquid crystal display, and others).

  • Patent number: 7029123
    Abstract: A projector device adapted to project an image-forming beam using a lamp as a light source. The lamp is installed within a rectangular parallelepipedal housing, and an exhaust fan is disposed to the rear of the lamp. The top wall of the housing surrounding the lamp is given an opening pattern asymmetric about the optical axis of the lamp by forming an air inlet opening in a position deviated from the optical axis toward a direction orthogonal to the axis for producing a swirling air current within the housing by operating the exhaust fan. The lamp can be effectively cooled with reduced quantities of air.

  • Patent number: 5111252
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine includes a paper feeding tray and a paper discharging tray respectively attached to both end surfaces of a body, each of which has a first, a second and a third tray plates which are rotatably connected to each other. When the machine is not used, the first, second and third tray plates are contained in the body in a state where the same are collapsed and folded over each other and, when the machine is used, the first, second and third tray plates are withdrawn and developed. A plurality of ribs which are extended in a paper feeding direction are on one upper surface of the first plate attached to the body in a rotatable manner, and a plurality of through holes, or slits, which receive the ribs when the first, second and third tray plates are collapsed are formed on the second and third tray plates.

  • Patent number: 4796052
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine comprises a mouse which is connected to a main unit by a connecting cord and is for inputting positional information for editing. The mouse has a roller whose peripheral side surface is exposed from a case. When the mouse is moved while the peripheral side surface of the roller is brought in contact with a surface of an original, pulses are generated from the mouse attending on rotation of the roller, and these pulses are counted by a counter of a microcomputer. The counted value of the counter is utilized as positional data for editing by the microcomputer. Based on that positional data, the microcomputer partially and selectively lightens of a plurality of LED elements constituting a LED array. Therefore, an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor-drum is partially erased so that "masking or "trimming" of an image in an area defined by the positional data is executed.
