Patent number: 8740311Abstract: A cutting apparatus has a main body including a body frame, wheels, a motor and a blade; a blade cover; and a slide guide. A cutting depth of the blade is adjustable. A blade cover casing entirely covers the blade. A slider having left and right linear portions is attached to a rear surface of the casing. The slide guide has circular-arc portions and flaps for sandwiching the linear portions of the slider. A gap is formed between the flaps and a side surface of the body frame. By sandwiching the linear portions of the slider between a flap and the body frame, and sandwiching the circular-arc portions between the left and right linear portions, the blade cover can slide in the up-down direction with respect to the slide guide and the body frame and can rotate about the circular-arc portions.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Mikasa Sangyo Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kenichi Nagasawa

Patent number: 7495808Abstract: PC link software stored in a personal computer searches for software installed in the personal computer and determines a file format that can be handled in the resulting software for sending to MFP. When MFP receives a destination for scanned image data, file formats displayable at that destination are displayed to allow the user to select in which format the data is sent. Therefore such a situation can be prevented in that the sent image data cannot be displayed at a personal computer.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Haruna Sasakuma, Kenichi Nagasawa

Publication number: 20070277772Abstract: The present invention provides a protective cover structure for a rammer for which a guard cover plate of a power engine in a rammer is molded from a synthetic resin allowing any shape to be freely obtained and having small weight, high strength, and impact absorption ability. The cover plate is configured so that it can be assembled and disassembled by simple operations, has good endurance with respect to severe vibrations and can reduce the damage of the machine body due to the adequate impact absorption ability even when the rammer tumbles. Front end sections of guard covers disposed on both sides of a power engine are joined and fixed to the front surface section of the crank chamber, lower sections of the rear portions are supported by support frames of a protective stand provided at the lower surface of the power engine, and the rear sections of the rear portions are linked integrally by a linking transverse pole.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2007Publication date: December 6, 2007Applicant: Mikasa Sangyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Giichi Tanaka, Yoshinori Harashima, Kenichi Nagasawa, Kenichi Muramoto
