Abstract: A developing device contact and separation mechanism includes a monochrome operating member, a color operating member, and a rotating member that rotates among a first position for a non-operational state, a second position for color printing, and a third position for monochrome printing. At the first position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the separated position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the separated position, via the color operating member. At the second position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the contacting position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the contacting position, via the color operating member. At the third position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the contacting position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the separated position, via the color operating member.

Abstract: A reel body for a spinning reel includes a foot portion configured to attach to a fishing rod, a housing having a accommodating portion, a leg portion extending from the housing toward the foot portion, and an insert element disposed in the housing and the leg portion. The foot portion, the housing, and the leg portion are integrally formed by injection molding, and the insert element includes a first portion that is disposed in the accommodating portion such that at least a part thereof is exposed, and a second portion that is integrally formed with the first portion and at least a part of which is disposed in a proximal end part of the leg portion.

Abstract: A fishing reel handle assembly has a handle arm, a knob shaft, and a handle knob. The handle arm is relatively non-rotatably attached to a distal end of the handle shaft. The knob shaft is fixed to an end of the handle arm and extends in parallel to the handle shaft. The handle knob is supported by the knob shaft to be rotatable relative to the handle arm. The handle arm includes a main body and a convexo-concave portion. The main body extends substantially perpendicular to an axial direction of the handle shaft, and is formed by laminating sheets of prepreg. The convexo-concave portion is convexly or concavely formed on at least either a front surface of the main body or a back surface of the main body. The front surface allows the handle knob to be attached thereto, the back surface disposed opposite to the front surface.
