Patent number: 8052101Abstract: The invention provides a rotating table for a display device which can rotate around the horizontal shaft by a manual operation in addition to a small motor drive. A rotating table for a display device includes a rotating member arranged so as to be rotatable around a horizontal shaft, and in which the display device is arranged, a balancing device balancing with a gravity moment around the horizontal shaft in the display device, and a first motor-driven rotating mechanism rotating the rotating member around the horizontal shaft, and the first motor-driven rotating mechanism includes gear trains converting a rotation of an electric motor into a rotation of the rotating member, and a rotation allowing device allowing a rotation of the gear trains only in a case of a rotation having a torque not less than a predetermined torque with respect to the rotation from the rotating member side.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2009Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Naoki Asakura, Katsutoshi Okada, Yoshiki Nagaoka, Norio Yamashita

Patent number: 5828517Abstract: A cassette loading device includes a door opening/closing mechanism that includes a single element arm or the like for selectively opening and closing a cassette loading door, in accordance with the movement of a cassette receiving housing between a ejected position and a loaded position. The single element is selectively locked into place so as to not cause the cassette loading door to open, such as when a tape cassette is not inserted into the cassette receiving housing. Therefore, the cassette loading door remains closed until a tape cassette is moved into or out of the cassette receiving housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1996Date of Patent: October 27, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Naoki Asakura

Patent number: 5524806Abstract: A tape loading mechanism having a guide member provided on a pinch roller unit to prevent a cam follower provided on the pinch roller unit from coming off a cam groove, and capable of smoothly moving the pinch roller unit. A sliding face provided on the pinch roller unit moves sliding along the rim of a cam to impart rotating force to the pinch roller unit so that the pinch roller moves away from a capstan shaft, and therefore the pinch roller can be moved completely away from the capstan shaft.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1994Date of Patent: June 11, 1996Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoki Asakura, Tomoaki Ide
