  • Patent number: 10603933
    Abstract: A roll paper holder is provided which rotatably holds belt-like paper to be conveyed towards a printing section when a roll of paper is obtained by winding the paper on an upstream side in a conveyance direction with respect to the printing section. The roll paper holder includes a side wall section in contact with both side ends of the roll of paper in a width direction to prevent the roll of paper from moving in the width direction. The holder further includes at least one protrusion located outside a range where it can contact with the side end of the roll paper to be held having the largest diameter in the side wall section. The at least one protrusion is configured to protrude by a predetermined dimension from a portion contacting with the side end to control a position of the paper in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 7358750
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus comprises a fixed unit including a control device and a measurement device, and a moving unit including contact terminals, which are brought into contact with contacts formed on a printed board having electrode patterns subjected to electrical inspection (e.g., electrical conduction inspection). The contact terminals are connected to a connection switching device via a plurality of first wires, wherein the connection switching device is arranged in the moving unit for selectively switching over the first wires. A plurality of third wires are arranged for establishing connections between the fixed unit and the selectively-switched first wires, wherein the number of the third wires is smaller than that of the first wires.

  • Patent number: 7145351
    Abstract: An electrical inspection apparatus performs highly accurate electrical inspection using an inspection probe on any type of printed board without changing an instrument therefor. It comprises a reference position regulating member for positioning the printed board precisely at a predetermined reference position and a pressing member for pressing the printed board oppositely to the reference position regulating member. An inspected portion (e.g., a contact) of the printed board is fixed under tension and is precisely located at the reference position in planar condition by being contacted and positioned by the reference position regulating member, whereby it is subjected to electrical inspection using the inspection probe accompanied with the reference position regulating member and/or the pressing member. Thus, it is possible to prevent the inspection probe from being unexpectedly damaged or destroyed by excessive force that is produced due to inaccurate positioning therefor.
