  • ROTARY CUTTER UNIT AND PRINTER DEVICE HAVING THE UNIT
    Publication number: 20150217473
    Abstract: A simple and compact rotary cutter unit capable of detecting a home position of a rotary cutter, and a printer device having the rotary cutter unit. A radially outwardly extending fin-shaped detected member is arranged on an end portion of the rotating blade opposed to a second gear of the rotating blade. A photosensor is arranged within a main frame of the printer device so that the photosensor may detect the fin-shaped member when the rotating blade is positioned at the home position. The fin-shaped member and the photosensor are not positioned outside relative to both ends of the rotating blade in relation to the direction of the rotational axis of the rotating blade. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the width of the printer device due to the presence of the fin-shaped member or the photosensor, whereby the printer device may be compactly constituted.

  • LAMINATED GLASS PRODUCTION METHOD
    Publication number: 20150202854
    Abstract: A laminated glass production method includes bending multiple glass plates into a desired shape by heating the glass plates to near a softening point, stacking the bent glass plates in layers with an interlayer interposed therebetween, and forming laminated glass by bonding the glass plates and the interlayer stacked in layers by applying pressure. At least two of the glass plates composing the laminated glass have different thicknesses. Of the two glass plates having different thicknesses, the thicker glass plate has a lower viscosity than the thinner glass plates at a temperature between the annealing point and the softening point of the thicker glass plate. Forming the laminated glass includes forming an uneven temperature distribution on a principal surface of each of the glass plates.
