  • Publication number: 20200292924
    Abstract: A first holding barrel, a first mirror bending a first optical axis of the first holding barrel at 90°, a second holding barrel, a second mirror bending a second optical axis of the second holding barrel at 90°, and a third holding barrel are disposed on an optical axis from a screen side to an image forming panel. A first connection member connects the first holding barrel including the first mirror to the second holding barrel to be rotationally movable in increments of 90°. A second connection member connects the second holding barrel and the second mirror to the third holding barrel to be rotationally movable in increments of 90°. An orientation of a display image of the image forming panel is changed based on rotational movement states of an optical axis of a first sensor and an optical axis of a second sensor to make an orientation of a projection image on the screen match an original image.

  • Patent number: 10463185
    Abstract: A draining rack is configured including a fixed rack and a movable rack supported such that it can be tilted with respect to the fixed rack. The movable rack is supported by the fixed rack such that it can be tilted (rotated) between an upright position at which it stands upright on the front side of the fixed rack and a tilted position at which it is tilted from the upright position. By rotating the movable rack from the tilted position to the upright position in a state in which a cleaning sponge is held (interposed) between the fixed rack and the movable rack, this arrangement is capable of squeezing the cleaning sponge. This allows the draining time for the cleaning sponge to be reduced.
