The gate has a rack defined at one end of the gate and a resilient arm connecting to the outer portion of the rack. The resilient arm has a plurality of external teeth. The actuator has a pickup gear with a disc-shaped body, an external wheel connecting to the outside of the body and an external gear connecting to the outside of the external wheel. A receiving passage is defined through the pickup gear along the axis thereof. The receiving passage includes a holding hole at one side of the receiving passage that is near to the rack. The resilient arm is inserted into the receiving passage with the external teeth abutting against the inner surface of the holding hole.

Abstract: A paper feeding device comprises an upper frame, a pickup roller assembly connected to the upper frame and a lower frame. The pickup roller assembly includes a roller frame, a separating roller, a pickup roller, and a belt sleeved on both the separating roller and the pickup roller. The separating roller and the pickup roller are connected to the roller frame. The belt impels the separating roller and the pickup roller to press against the roller frame. When the separating roller rotates, the friction created between the separating roller and the roller frame and the friction created between the pickup roller and the roller frame drives the pickup roller assembly to rotate, then the paper is fed into the paper feeding device. The structure of the paper feeding device is simple and the cost is lower than the conventional one, moreover, it is convenient to assemble.

Abstract: A scanning module includes a contact image sensor unit and a supporting base. The contact image sensor unit has a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface and a back surface. The supporting base has a guiding portion, a positioning board mounted on the guiding portion, the two sides of the positioning board extends sideward and bends upward to form an elastic arm respectively, the contact image sensor unit is placed on the positioning board and the elastic arm elastically contacts the bottom surface of the contact image sensor unit. The two sides of the supporting base of the scanning module have an elastic arm respectively, the elastic arm contacts the contact image sensor unit directly and makes sure that the contact image sensor unit contacts the glass tightly.

Abstract: A paper feeding device comprises a supporting frame, a pickup roller assembly, a paper blocking unit, a base and a sensor. The paper blocking unit is placed beside the pickup roller assembly, having a paper blocking element connected to the supporting frame, including a connecting portion, the connecting portion extends downwards to form a paper blocking arm. The sensor is located in the base, having an emitting arm and a receiving arm. The lower portion of the paper blocking arm can be located between the emitting arm and the receiving arm or depart from them for turning off/on the sensor. The paper feeding device decides whether the paper is provided on the base by the turn on/off status of the sensor, so an additional obstructer is avoided. Compared with conventional paper feeding device, the structure of the present invention is simple, and it is convenient to assemble.

Abstract: A maintenance station of inkjet printer includes a supporter, an ink cup pivoted on the supporter and configured to receive waste ink, a driver and a preventing arm. The ink cup has a circular board and a ring. The circular board is pivoted on the supporter. The ring has a belt fixed on the outer edge of the circular board and a plurality of elastic arms. Each of the elastic arms has a base extended vertically from the belt and an inclined portion bent from the end of the base inclinedly. The driver is configured to push the inclined portion to rotate the ink cup. The preventing arm is configured to press the inclined portion to permit the ink cup to be rotated and push the inclined portion to prevent the ink cup from being rotated.

Abstract: A gas water heater device includes a combustion chamber for providing a gas flow, a pipe assembly, and a heat exchanger disposed over the combustion chamber including a plurality of thermal conductors disposed in parallel with each other, each of the plurality of thermal conductors further comprising a base, a plurality of through holes accommodating the pipe assembly therethrough, and a flange for collecting condensed water formed on the base.

Abstract: A paper feeding device comprises a cover, a roller frame and at least one paper blocking unit. The roller frame has two side walls. The paper blocking unit is placed beside the side wall, having a projection mounted on the side wall of the roller frame and a paper blocking element including a connecting portion, the connecting portion has a positioning pillar rotatablely connected to the cover. The connecting portion extends downwards to form a stopping portion, the stopping portion further extends downwards to form a paper blocking arm, the lower portion of the paper blocking arm defines an opening communicating one side of the paper blocking arm near the side wall. The projection can stops at the stopping portion and passes through the opening of the paper blocking element to allow the document to be fed in, so the cooperation is easy, the paper feeding device works smoothly.

Abstract: A scanning module includes a contact image sensor for scanning a document, an elastic unit having a fixing board placed in the middle of the elastic unit, two flexible spring arms, and a base mounted on the fixing board of the elastic unit. The elastic unit is placed between the contact image sensor and the base. Each of the flexible spring arms is bending upwardly and extending outwardly from the left and the right sides of the fixing board. The contacting piece is bending upwardly and extending outwardly from the end of each flexible spring arms and contacts the bottom surface of the contact image sensor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a scanner for penetrative documents including a scanning housing, a feeding housing disposed on the scanning housing and a conveyor tray disposed between the scanning housing and the feeding housing. The scanning housing has a scanning window disposed thereon and a scanning base disposed therein. The scanning base has a scanning means and a lower light source. The feeding housing has a feeding mechanism and an upper light source disposed therein. The feeding mechanism is used to convey bendable documents. The upper light source is located over the scanning window. The conveyor tray moves horizontally between the scanning housing and the feeding housing for conveying bendable or non-bendable documents to pass through the scanning window. Therefore the function of scanning non-bendable documents of the feeder type scanner is realized.
