Patent number: 6270270Abstract: A printing apparatus has a small size that facilitates replacement of rolled paper, removal of jammed paper, etc., and alleviates the likelihood of a paper jam with a considerably simple structure. The printing apparatus comprises a rolled-paper holder (2), which is provided with a first holder (2b) for use in carrying out printing on rolled paper (1), and a second holder (2a) for use in setting the rolled paper (1). The rolled paper (1) is moved from the second holder (2a) to the first holder (2b) as a main body of the apparatus is shifted from a paper setting position to a printing work position, thereby facilitating the setting of the rolled paper (1) and removal of jammed paper, since the rolled paper (1) can be temporarily supported by the second holder (2a) in order to provide sufficient work space when replacing the rolled paper (1) or removing jammed paper.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazumine Koshi, Noriyuki Saito, Tohru Arakawa, Masaru Shimizu, Keita Sakai, Masaaki Matsui, Toshio Tanaka

Patent number: 5588092Abstract: A printer controller for use with a thermal printer. A thermal printer used as a computer terminal printer requires a high printing speed and high print-quality in addition to reducing the load on the computer terminal. The printer controller of the present invention integrates the complicated control functions of the electrical components of a thermal printer, (i.e. thermal-head, motor, and various sensors) into an integrated circuit or a one-chip IC. Printers incorporating this controller attain highly improved and simplified operability and miniaturized dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1993Date of Patent: December 24, 1996Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirofumi Komiya, Keita Sakai, Kazumine Koshi, Noriyuki Saito

Patent number: 4735403Abstract: It is known that a sectional shape of a spring wire can be formed into an oval made by a semicircle and a semiellipse. However, it has been found that such a shape is not the best obtainable, and that stress distribution can be improved by increasing the diameter of the spring wire slightly in a portion where the stress is greatest, along the semielliptical surface. Parameters are disclosed for determining dimensions that result in increased energy efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1987Date of Patent: April 5, 1988Assignee: Murata Hatsujo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukio Matsumoto, Noriyuki Saito, Kuniki Morita
