  • Patent number: 8783680
    Abstract: A paper output structure includes a printer enclosure and a paper output extending device. The paper output extending device includes a pivot shaft, a drive gear, and a toothed bar which is capable of internal telescopic extension by means of a drive gear which includes a great gear portion and a first small gear portion. A printed sheet of paper is slightly stretched so as to be dropped uncrinkled and perfectly flat into the output tray.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130341859
    Abstract: A paper feeding apparatus includes a bracket. A first feeding shaft is pivotably mounted on the bracket. A number of first feeding rollers is mounted on the first feeding shaft. The first feeding rollers rotate together with the first feeding shaft to contact a sheet of paper and move the paper forwards. A number of fans are mounted on the first feeding shaft. The fans rotate together with the first feeding shaft to drive air against the paper to prevent it becoming wrapped around one of the rollers.

  • Patent number: 8408536
    Abstract: A sheet feeding apparatus includes a tray, a driving mechanism disposed above the tray, a separating mechanism rotatably connected to the tray, and at least one resilient element to provide a constant pressure against the separating mechanism. The driving mechanism includes at least one roller to move one of the sheets. The separating mechanism includes at least one retard pad to separate the sheets and create frictional resistance between the separating mechanism and the stack of the sheets. When the tray has only a few sheets left, the separating mechanism is rotated and the frictional resistance is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7910870
    Abstract: A solar tracker includes a sunlight-detecting unit, a control unit, a first motor and a second motor. The sunlight-detecting unit detects the position of the sun. Based on the position of the sun, the control unit instructs the first motor to rotate a solar cell array and the second motor to tilt the solar cell array.

  • Publication number: 20070086214
    Abstract: A surface light source apparatus including a lamp reflector, a light guide plate, a transparent support member and a light source is provided. The lamp reflector includes a bottom surface and a light emitting cross-section opposite to the bottom surface. The light guide plate has a light incident surface and is adjacent to the light emitting cross-section of the lamp reflector, which is disposed by one side of the lamp reflector. The transparent support member is disposed inside the lamp reflector, and leans against the bottom surface of the lamp reflector and the light incident surface of the light guide plate. The light source is disposed inside the transparent support member, such that the light source avoids the damage form the collision by the shifting light guide plate under the protection of the transparent support member.
