Patent number: 9097381Abstract: A leg unit includes a positioning pin projecting from an upper surface of a seat plate thereof, and an image forming unit includes a positioning hole formed on a mounting surface thereof. Delimiting portions project downward from the lower ends of left and right lateral faces of the image forming unit. The delimiting portions oppose respective outer lateral faces of the seat plate so as to restrict a relative movement of the image forming unit. A projecting portion is provided on the outer lateral face of the seat plate. The positioning pin can be fitted in the positioning hole by engaging the projecting portion with a recess of the delimiting portion. The delimiting portion includes a stopper formed on the respective sides of the recess in the longitudinal direction thereof, for restricting the sliding motion of the projecting portion along the lower end face of the delimiting portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Naohiro Ueyama, Hiroaki Fukumoto

Patent number: 7460826Abstract: A housing body includes a first part forming a part of a first transporting path in which a medium is transported. An image forming unit is accommodated in the housing body and is adapted to form an image onto at least one face of the medium. A door cover is attached to the housing body, and the door cover includes a second part adapted to face the first part when the door cover is closed, thereby forming the part of the first transporting path together with the first part. A double-sided printing unit is detachably mounted to the second part and includes a second transporting path. The second transporting path is connected to the first transporting path and is adapted to transport the medium while turning inside out, so that the image forming unit forms images on both sides of the medium.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Toru Tanjo, Akinobu Nakahata, Hiroaki Fukumoto, Naruya Yotsuyanagi
