Publication number: 20240102718Abstract: Provided is an electrical device. In a setting unit, a right-room temperature display unit displays a set temperature or the current temperature of a first housing room. A left-room temperature display unit displays a set temperature or the current temperature of a second housing room. A right-room temperature setting button is an operation unit for a user to switch the set temperature of the first housing room. A left-room temperature setting button is an operation unit for a user switch the set temperature of the second housing room. The set temperature difference between the first and second housing rooms is controlled to be within a prescribed value. When the set temperature of one of the first and second housing rooms is changed so that the set temperature exceeds a prescribed value, a microcomputer automatically changes the other set temperature so that the set temperature difference is within a prescribed value.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Koki Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuji KISHIMA, Takuya KATAOKA, Kazuki NOGUCHI, Akihiro KOBAYASHI, Daisuke NITAWAKI, Ibuki KANDA, Shingo KOSUGI, Yoshiki AOKI

Patent number: 10274891Abstract: A solid lubricant application device includes: a rotating body; a solid lubricant applied to the rotating body; a resilient urging member that causes the solid lubricant to abut toward a circumferential surface of the rotating body; and a guide mechanism that guides movement of the solid lubricant. When a straight line parallel to a direction in which the solid lubricant abuts against the rotating body is referred to as a first straight line, and a straight line parallel to a direction in which the resilient urging member and the solid lubricant are connected is referred to as a second straight line, the guide mechanism guides the movement of the solid lubricant such that an intersecting angle, which is a smaller one of angles formed by the first straight line and the second straight line, decreases as the solid lubricant is applied to the rotating body and accordingly changed in shape.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Konica Minolta, Inc.Inventor: Shingo Aoki

Publication number: 20160252861Abstract: An image forming apparatus reflecting one aspect of the present invention includes a deviation detecting portion, a registration roller, and a leading end detecting portion. The deviation detecting portion detects a deviation amount of the sheet being fed from a reference position in a sheet width direction orthogonal to a feeding direction. The registration roller modifies deviation by swinging the sheet being fed in the sheet width direction in accordance with the deviation amount detected by the deviation detecting portion. The leading end detecting portion is disposed on the downstream side in the sheet feeding direction of the registration roller and detects a leading end of the sheet being fed. The leading end detecting portion detects the leading end of the sheet after deviation is modified by the registration roller.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2016Publication date: September 1, 2016Inventor: Shingo AOKI

Patent number: 9152121Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a developer collecting duct that is linear and has a plurality of coupling portions vertically spaced apart from each other; and a plurality of developer discharging sections that each have an engaging portion inserted into one of the coupling portions to thereby be disposed as being exposed to the inside of the developer collecting duct, and that discharge waste developer to the developer collecting duct through a developer outlet provided in the engaging portion. Second and subsequent ones of the developer discharging sections from the top are detachably attached to the developer collecting duct. The developer collecting duct has a flow path restricting portion that restricts the area through which the waste developer flows down to prevent the waste developer from hitting the engaging portion of lower one of the developer discharging sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventors: Takenori Suenaga, Shingo Aoki
