Publication number: 20060293096Abstract: An information processing unit such as a folding type mobile phone whose first casing having a display and second casing having buttons are connected by a hinge. A first fixing mechanism of the hinge temporarily fixes the first and the second casing by a predetermined holding force when an opening angle between the first and the second casing is a first degree of opening which is smaller than 180°. A second fixing mechanism of the hinge locks the first and the second casing by a holding force stronger than the holding force at the time of temporary fixing when the opening angle is 180°. This information processing unit can be opened from the closed state to the temporary fixed state with a light force, from the temporary fixed state to the lock state with a medium force, and can be closed from the lock state to the temporary fixed state with a heavy force.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Kazuhiro Kakuguchi, Katsumi Takada

Patent number: 5496120Abstract: A drive force transmission mechanism is applied to, for example, a printer, to transmit a drive force to a driven element such as a platen, a paper feeder, and an ink ribbon cassette, etc., included in the printer. The drive force transmission mechanism including a subsidiary frame detachably attached to a main frame such as a printer frame and having at least one shaft member projected therefrom, and at least one transmission member such as a gear rotatably supported by the shaft member to be engaged with the driven element so that the drive force is transmitted thereto. Since the transmission member is rotatably supported by the shaft member of the subsidiary frame detachably attached to the main frame, only the subsidiary frame need be replaced if a shaft member is broken.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1994Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Kazuhiro Kakuguchi
