  • Patent number: 6612762
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an economical printer which is simple in structure and uses a common tray but is capable of adapting itself to various recording media of different shapes. Adapters in which recording media can be firmly held can be selectively mounted in the tray. An adapter 24 has an oval opening 24a in which a recording medium 30 can be placed. The contour of the adapter 24 can fit into a recessed portion 23a formed in the tray 23. The recording medium 30 is firmly held in the adapter 24. When the adapter 24 is mounted in the recessed portion 23a in the tray 23, a keyway 23b and a protrusion 24b engaging the keyway 23b prevent the adapter 24 from shifting out of position; the adapter is held in the tray 23. Prints can be made in accurate positions on the recording medium 30.

  • Patent number: 5359747
    Abstract: A power toothbrush has a superior brushing effect achieved by a brush member which is given a reciprocal motion in the axial direction while at the same time the brush member itself is given a rotary motion and which has a simple construction and is of low cost. A drive shaft is mounted in a casing in such a way that it is free to move in the axial direction. The rotation of a drive motor mounted inside the casing is converted into a reciprocating motion and transmitted to the drive shaft by a first transmission mechanism. A rotary brush member is rotatably mounted on the end of an attachment connected to the drive shaft, and the reciprocating motion, in the axial direction, of the attachment is converted into a rotary motion and transmitted to the rotary brush member by a second transmission mechanism.
