  • Publication number: 20240085832
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fixing device including a flexible cylindrical rotary member and an inner-surface opposing portion that opposes an inner surface of the rotary member at an end portion of the rotary member in a generatrix direction. The inner-surface opposing portion moves upstream in a recording material conveying direction in accordance with lateral shift of the rotary member in the generatrix direction. This restricts the lateral shift of the rotary member.

  • Patent number: 10730062
    Abstract: Spray nozzle systems and methods of use are described herein. The spray nozzle system may include a stationary tube, a rigid rotor, and a sub-medium supply source. The stationary tube may be in fluid communication with a pressurized air source. The substantially rigid rotor is in fluid communication with the pressurized air source. The substantially rigid rotor includes a substantially rigid conduit that is in fluid communication with the passages of the stationary tube and the rotor. A portion of the conduit is substantially arched such that an outlet of the conduit is offset a radial distance in a radial direction from the rotor axis. Pressurized air ejected from the outlet produces directional components of the pressurized air in the direction of rotation about the rotor axis; and during use, the pressurized air rotates the rotor and sucks sub-medium from the sub-medium supply source into the stationary tube passage.

    Abstract: A coaxial element wire includes a center conductor, an insulation layer, and an outer conductor. The insulation layer is provided around the center conductor, and it has a thickness of 0.15 mm or less. The outer conductor is a ribbon-shaped conductor obtained by pressing a copper or copper alloy round wire into a flat form, without annealing after pressing. This ribbon-shaped conductor is spirally wrapped around the insulation layer to thereby form the coaxial element wire. The coaxial element wire may be covered with a protective jacket, and plural coaxial wire elements may be joined into a common jacket to form a multicore cable.

  • Patent number: 6354198
    Abstract: There is provided a handy type foil printer capable of performing printing operation easily with one hand and achieving an effective use of a print film. A film roll is accommodated detachably within a casing that is sized to be operable by one hand and has an opening for printing. The film roll is a print film that consists of a base film and a foil removably adhered thereon and is processed in the form of a long tape and rolled. A printing roller is arranged at the opening, exposing a part of its circumferential surface. The print film drawn out from the film roll is wound by a winding roller via the outer circumferential surface of the printing roller. Holding the casing in one hand, pressing and rotating the printing roller on the original character and/or diagram depicted with an adhesive ink can print the foil on the character and/or diagram.
