  • Patent number: 9278818
    Abstract: A medium supply device includes a medium cassette that accommodates a medium, a dial that is rotatable around a predetermined rotation shaft, an angle-holding part to hold the dial, a subsidiary arm including arm parts that are independently displaceable, and a detection switch with switch parts that are pressed by arm parts of the subsidiary arm. The dial includes a display part on which display elements illustrating a medium size are arranged in a circumferential direction around the rotation shaft, a rotation lock part configured to be locked by the angle-holding part, and a projection formation part that includes projection parts configured to press the arm parts of the subsidiary arm in a circumferential direction around the rotation shaft. The projection parts selectively contact and displace the arm parts in accordance with the rotation angle of the dial to selectively press the switch parts of the detection switch.

  • Patent number: 5831372
    Abstract: A vacuum envelope includes a flat faceplate and a flat rear plate opposed to the faceplate. A phosphor screen is formed on an inner surface of the faceplate. A plurality of support members are located between the faceplate and the rear plate and bear atmospheric pressure acting on the faceplate and the rear plate. Each support member has first and second support portions. The first support portion is set up on the rear plate and has a proximal end face intimately in contact with the inner surface of the rear plate and a bearing surface substantially parallel to the rear plate. The second support portion is provided between the bearing surface of the first support portion and the faceplate, and has a distal end abutting against a predetermined position on the inner surface of the faceplate and a proximal end portion intimately in contact with the bearing surface of the first support portion.

  • Patent number: 4831094
    Abstract: Articles having shape recovering properties and methods of using them are disclosed. An article is formed from a composition containing a norbornene polymer by forming said polymer into an article having a first shape, then deforming the article in the solid state to a second shape and cooling the article to a first temperature at or below the glass transition temperature of the polymer to retain said second shape, and finally heating said article to a temperature above the first temperature to recover the first shape.
