  • Publication number: 20040112749
    Abstract: An electrophoresis device capable of supplying a sample accurately without positioning error using a rotary autosampler. A projection (17) is mounted on the lower surface of a detachable carousel (13) on a rotation axis thereof. A projection bearing (18) is mounted on a rotation axis of a turntable (15). The respective central axes are automatically aligned so that no eccentricity is caused by rotation. A pressing means is provided in a heater unit at a position corresponding to the position of the capillary, thereby reducing irregularities in the heating of the capillary. A sample-loaded end of the capillary is passed through a tubular electrode and adapted to operate with the electrode in an integral manner.

  • Publication number: 20020162930
    Abstract: When projection plates of fixture blocks installed on a display apparatus body are inserted into installation windows in left blocks installed on a rail in a ceiling portion, the projection plates are locked and do not come out, whereby the display apparatus body does not drop even when a worker releases his hands therefrom. Hence, the worker can carry out cable connection work with free both hands. Furthermore, to the configuration of a conventional fixture device, a spring washer 18 and a sleeve 19 are added between a screw 16 and a nut plate 14, whereby when the screw 16 is tightened at an improper position, a clearance Z occurs between the tightened screw 16 and a block 13, thereby allowing the screw 16 to move up and down. Hence, if the fixing is improper, a rattle occurs, whereby it is possible to find an improper installation state. The display apparatus body is provided with a latch section having projection sections to be fitted into the recessed section formed in the display section.
