  • Patent number: 7454147
    Abstract: Disclosed is a printed circuit board comprising a contact terminal, which prevents a poor contact and reduces a manufacturing cost, and an image forming apparatus having the same. The printed circuit board comprises a circuit part for controlling and processing an operation of electronic appliance, and a large-area contact terminal formed by a group of small-area terminals for electric connection with external device. The small-area terminals can be formed in various types, respectively having regular size and shape and being distanced a predetermined interval. Accordingly, unevenness of the large-area contact terminal surface caused by soldering is prevented since a plurality of small-area terminals constitute a unit contact terminal of over a predetermined size. Therefore, quality of contact with external terminal improves. Further, manufacturing cost is reduced, and the manufacturing process becomes simple.

  • Patent number: 7188835
    Abstract: A sheet feeding apparatus for an image forming device prevents a sheet jammed in a pickup roller from being damaged when a sheet feeding cassette is separated to remove the jammed sheet. The sheet feeding apparatus for the image forming device includes a sheet feeding cassette being removably installed in the image forming device and having a handle hole for adhesion and removal, a sheet pressure plate hinge-fixed in the sheet feeding cassette, to load and support sheets, an elastic member to elastically support the sheet pressure plate to be upwardly slanted, and a down lever installed at the lower portion of the sheet pressure plate to be moved forward or backward. When the down lever is pulled through the handle hole, the sheet pressure plate is downwardly rotated to compress the elastic member, and when the down lever is pushed, the sheet pressure plate returns to the original position by the elastic member.
