Abstract: An image forming device includes an image carrier, a cleaning device, a charging device and a shielding member. The image carrier carries a toner image thereon. The cleaning device removes a toner on the image carrier. The charging device charges the image carrier. The shielding member is disposed between the cleaning device and the charging device. The shielding member is in contact with the image carrier in an area where the image carrier is charged.

Abstract: An image formation system also serving as an MICR printer including a cartridge mount space for detachably mounting a process cartridge having an image support, a developing roll and a collection vessel, an optical writer ROS for forming an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the image support by a light beam of a predetermined light quantity, and a parameter change system having parameter storage means Me for storing image formation process parameters used when the process cartridge mounted in the cartridge mount space is a normal cartridge and when the process cartridge is an MICR cartridge for forming a ferromagnetic toner image that can be magnetically read, the parameter change system for setting the image formation process parameters in response to the type of process cartridge mounted in the cartridge mount space.

Abstract: A fluid-contained engine mounting device, containing a fluid in a fluid container closed up air-tightly by an elastic top wall and an elastic bottom diaphragm which is divided by a partition wall into a first fluid chamber closed by the elastic top wall and a second fluid chamber closed by the elastic bottom diaphragm and confining a predetermined quantity of a gas in the first fluid chamber, absorbs vibrations of the engine transmitted thereto through expansion and contraction of the elastic top wall and elastic bottom diaphragm.

Abstract: A fluid type of vibration damper apparatus containing fluid in a rigid fluid container divided by a partition formed with an orifice into two fluid chambers in communication with each other through the orifice, one of the fluid chambers being closed up air-tightly by an elastic top wall to which a subject body of vibration is attached and containing a predetermined quantity of gas so as to be in direct contact with the fluid therein.

Abstract: A front wheel suspension comprising left and right suspension arm disposed front side frames and steering knuckles of a car body and a stabilizer bar of which outer bar ends bent forth are fastened to outer sides of the left and right suspension arms so as to allow left and right wheel independently to move up and down. The left and right suspension arms are pivoted to gussets each of which is fastened to the side frame member and a reinforcement member so as to form at its rear end a space between the side frame and reinforcement members. The stabilizer bar extends transversely over the upper surface of the gusset through the space.
