Publication number: 20240133208Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a first member that is provided on one side to lock and is rotated about a rotating shaft, a second member that is provided on the other side to lock and comes into contact with the first member to rotate the first member, a rotation applying member that further applies a rotational force to the first member rotated by the second member, a restriction portion that restricts movement of the first member to be rotated in a direction in which the first member is released from a locked state, and an elastic portion that allows the first member and the restriction portion to be in elastic contact with each other and allows the first member and the restriction portion to start to be in elastic contact with each other before the first member rotated by the second member is further rotated by the rotation applying member in a release direction which is the direction in which the first member is released from the locked state.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.Inventors: Keigo Shinoto, Shuichi Nishide, Michiaki Yoshida, Akira Ueshima, Akira Tanaka, Takahiro Iizuka, Wataru Nakamura

Patent number: 11953308Abstract: A light emitting element array includes: a light emitting element group that includes plural light emitting elements; and plural lenses that are provided, corresponding to the plural light emitting elements, on a light emitting surface side of the plural light emitting elements, and that deflects light emitted from the plural light emitting elements according to a positional relation with the plural light emitting elements. Distances between central axes of light emission of the plural light emitting elements and central axes of the plural lenses corresponding to the plural light emitting elements increase from a center side of the light emitting element group toward an end side of the light emitting element group, and a degree of change in the distances decreases from the center side of the light emitting element group toward the end side of the light emitting element group.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.Inventors: Shigetoshi Nakamura, Kenichi Ohno, Michiaki Murata, Tsutomu Ishii, Jiro Minabe

Patent number: 4104861Abstract: An electronic stopwatch including a time signal generator for generating a repetitive time signal, and a primary counting circuit for counting the time signal and for developing a count representing time in a timekeeping mode of operation. A secondary counting circuit receives the repetitive time signal during an interval to be measured, and develops a count representative of the length of the interval of time during which the time signal was applied thereto. The secondary counting circuit operates in a stopwatch mode of operation. A display selectively displays a time represented by the count of the primary counting circuit or the count of the secondary counting circuit in order to display either present time or a time interval measured in the stopwatch mode. An alarm is connected to receive the repetitive time signal applied to the secondary counting circuit and generates an alarm signal after the repetitive time signal has been applied thereto for a predetermined period of time.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1976Date of Patent: August 8, 1978Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Daini SeikoshaInventors: Kazuhiro Yoda, Michiaki Nakamura
