Patent number: 9102158Abstract: An inkjet textile printing apparatus includes a penetrant liquid storage tank, a textile printing colored liquid storage tank, and first to third flow passages. The penetrant liquid storage tank is configured and arranged to store a penetrant liquid that facilitates penetration of a textile printing colored liquid into a fabric. The textile printing colored liquid storage tank is configured and arranged to store the textile printing colored liquid. The first flow passage connects the penetrant liquid storage tank and a first nozzle together. The second flow passage connects the textile printing colored liquid storage tank and a second nozzle together. The third flow passage connects the first flow passage and the second flow passage together and forms a flow passage for supplying the penetrant liquid to the second nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Yoshiharu Aruga, Shuhei Mori

Patent number: 7187896Abstract: In a fixing device incorporated in an image forming apparatus and operable to fix a toner image on a recording medium, a first rotative member and a second rotative member form a nip portion therebetween, at which the toner image is fixed on the recording medium. A separator separates the recording medium, which has been passed through the nip portion, from one of the first rotative member and the second rotative member. The separator is provided with a first guide face extending in a first direction to guide the separated recording medium to an inlet of a subsequent stage of the image forming apparatus. The first guide face is provided with a rib extending in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Kazutoshi Fujisawa, Makoto Sato, Katsuhito Gomi, Naoyuki Okumura, Hideki Okada, Shuhei Mori, Shinichi Kamoshida
