  • Patent number: 10239572
    Abstract: In a conveyance seat, a linear member can be adequately hooked on a bottom wall and a state that the linear member is hooked on the bottom wall is adequately maintained. A bottom plate is provided with a protruding part on which a suspension strap is hooked when suspending a skin material, and a position variable part capable of changing a relative position to the protruding part. The position variable part can move between a first position where it contacts or engages the protruding part and a second position where it is disengaged from the protruding part. In a state that the relative position of the position variable part with respect to the protruding part is in the first position, at least a part of the position variable part projects further outward than a side surface of the protruding part in a direction intersecting the protruding direction of the protruding part.

  • Publication number: 20180250930
    Abstract: An inkjet printing apparatus according to an embodiment of this invention can properly maintain the state of a liquid applied to a transfer member for preprocessing and print a high-quality image. Therefore, an inkjet printing apparatus that prints an image by discharging ink from a printhead to a transfer member and transfers the image from the transfer member to a print medium performs the following printing method. That is, prior to printing the image, a liquid is applied to the transfer member, the liquid applied to the transfer member is dried, and the ink is discharged from the printhead to the transfer member to which the dried liquid is applied, printing the image.

  • Publication number: 20180231893
    Abstract: There are provided a developer spreading device, a printer, and a digital camera with a printer which are capable of equally spreading a developer in a width direction of a film unit. The developer spreading device includes a transport roller pair, a spreading roller pair, and a spreading control member. The spreading roller pair transports a film unit transported by the transport roller pair while pinching the film unit over the entire width. The spreading control member is provided between the transport roller pair and the spreading roller pair. A distal end of the spreading control member is formed in a convex shape of which a center portion protrudes toward the film unit on a cross-section of the film unit in a width direction. Thus, it is possible to press the film unit with an equal pressing force in the width direction of the film unit.

  • Publication number: 20180231873
    Abstract: The film cover constituting the instant film pack includes a cover member, a pair of accompanying prevention ribs, a pair of outer light shielding ribs, and a pair of inner light shielding ribs. The accompanying prevention ribs are arranged in parallel with a discharge direction from a distal end of the film cover in the discharge direction. Similarly to the accompanying prevention ribs, since the outer light shielding ribs are formed on a front surface of the cover member, the outer light shielding ribs together with the accompanying prevention ribs can prevent the film unit from accompanying. A tilt surface of which a protruding height gradually decreases toward a distal end from a proximal end of the cover member is formed on the accompanying prevention rib.
