Abstract: A thermal insulation member is described for a heater assembly of a haircare appliance. The thermal insulation member is formed of an elastomeric material and includes a sleeve, a plurality of ribs, and a plurality of studs. The ribs and studs project outwardly from a surface of the sleeve, and the ribs project further the studs. A haircare appliance including the thermal insulation member is also described.

Abstract: A haircare appliance has an air inlet, an air outlet, an airflow generator for generating an airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet, and a heater assembly for heating the airflow. The heater assembly has a heater and a heater housing. The heater is mounted to the heater housing at a plurality of discrete mounting points.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder and a media record equipment using the same are provided. The automatic document feeder includes a frame, a cover and a gear chain. An end of the cover pivoted to the frame has a cam. The gear chain disposed in the frame has multiple driven gears and a rotating unit. The driven gears engaged with each other rotate about a first axial direction. The rotating unit having a first rock arm contacting the cam and a second rock arm with one of the driven gears disposed thereon is capable of rotating about the first axial direction. The cam pushes the first rock arm to drive the rotating unit to rotate about the first axial direction, and then an engagement between the driven gear on the second rock arm is released by departing from another driven gear engaged therewith when the cover opens relative to the frame.

Abstract: A gear clutch assembly and an electronic device are provided. The gear clutch assembly comprises a pivot, a driving gear engaged with the pivot and adapted to rotate along the pivot, and a driven gear disposed on the driving gear. The driving gear comprises a first surface, a ratchet integrally formed with the driving gear comprising a plurality of teeth disposed on the first surface. The driving gear comprises a second surface facing the first surface, and a pawl integrally formed with the driven gear on the second surface. When the driving gear rotates in a driving direction, one of the teeth is engaged with the pawl and drives the driven gear to rotates with the driving gear. When the driving gear rotates in an opposite direction, every tooth pushes up and slides under the pawl so the driven gear does not rotate along with the driving gear.

Abstract: A multi-function peripheral (MFP) suited for printing/scanning a paper or a business card is provided. The MFP includes a body and a printing/scanning unit, a feeding roller, and a plurality of idle rollers disposed in the body. The body has a feeding path that the printing/scanning unit, the feeding roller, and the idle rollers are located thereon. The printing/scanning unit used for printing/scanning the paper or the business card on the feeding path. The idle rollers lean against the feeding roller respectively. A path length between two leaning points of any two adjacent idle rollers contacting the feeding roller is shorter than a size of the business card.

Abstract: A docking station and an electronic device using the same are provided. The electronic device includes a portable computer and a docking station. The docking station includes a body, a holder and a pivot mechanism. The holder is disposed on the body for containing the portable computer. The pivot mechanism connecting the body and the holder includes a first part and a second part. The first part connects to the body. The second part connects to the holder and pivotly coupled with the first part. The first part includes a first locating portion facing the second part. The second part includes a second locating portion corresponding to the first locating portion. The second locating portion being adapted to engage with the first locating portion for fixing the holder at a desired angle relative to the body as the holder rotating relatively to the body.
