  • Publication number: 20240085832
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fixing device including a flexible cylindrical rotary member and an inner-surface opposing portion that opposes an inner surface of the rotary member at an end portion of the rotary member in a generatrix direction. The inner-surface opposing portion moves upstream in a recording material conveying direction in accordance with lateral shift of the rotary member in the generatrix direction. This restricts the lateral shift of the rotary member.

  • Patent number: 11101512
    Abstract: Provided are a pack main body of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in which a battery cell is embedded, and a terminal portion provided on a front face of the pack main body. The pack main body includes bevelled portions at corner portions formed by a top face and a bottom face and opposite side faces. The terminal portion is provided, in a protruding manner, on the front face at a position biased with respect to centre lines in a width direction and a height direction. The corner portions on one side have a chamfered shape and the corner portions on the other side have a rounded shape.

  • Patent number: 10895841
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a link mechanism for mounting a cartridge on an apparatus main body, includes a pivot link and an intermediate link that moves from a first position for mounting the cartridge to a second position for image forming. A connecting portion to connect the intermediate link and the pivot link includes a boss with a protruded portion and a hole portion. When the intermediate link is at the second position, the protruded portion presses an inner surface of the hole portion such that a rotation moment in a direction in which the pivot link pivots, acts on the pivot link, and in a state where a portion-to-be-pressed of the cartridge is pressed by a pressing portion of the apparatus main body, a portion-to-be-positioned of the cartridge comes in contact with a positioning portion of the apparatus main body.
