Abstract: A hinge device according to the present invention includes a pivotable member pivotable relative to a fixed member around a first screw member or a second screw member serving as a pivot shaft. A rotation restricting washer is disposed between a movable plate portion of the pivotable member and a bearing face of the second screw member. The rotation restricting washer is disposed non-turnably relative to a support plate portion of the fixed member by fitting a restricting piece disposed on one of the support plate portion and the rotation restricting washer into a receiving portion disposed on the other one of the support plate portion and the rotation restricting washer.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide an electronic apparatus capable of holding a panel unit at a desired tilt angle &thgr; and smoothly angularly displacing the panel unit irrespective of the weight of the panel unit. An attachment portion protruding while facing the panel unit is provided on a lower cabinet, a frictional member made of silicone rubber having flexibility and elasticity is detachably attached to the attachment portion, and sliding members that slide on the frictional member are provided on the rear surface of the panel unit which rear surface faces the attachment portion, whereby a tilt holding force optimum for the weight of the panel unit is caused.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes a roll of recording paper, a roll conveying roller for feeding a roll of recording paper, and a sheet conveying roller for feeding sheets of recording paper. Power from a DC motor is transmitted to both rollers through a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism includes a system gear, a planetary gear, and a planetary gear arm, and a locking member for fixing the planetary gear arm at a prescribed position. A head release cam, a head release pulley, and a timing belt cooperate with the switching mechanism to remove pressure from a print recording head to prevent damage to the head during switching. Accordingly, a roll of recording paper and sheets of recording paper can be selected and used as needed without increasing the manufacturing cost and size of the apparatus.
