  • Patent number: 10958090
    Abstract: A charging pad includes a body portion having a recess into which a power receiving unit of a handset is inserted, the power receiving unit having an exposed electric contact surface, a first charging-pad-side terminal formed by a torsion coil spring and provided in the recess, the first charging-pad-side terminal being configured to relatively slide on the electric contact surface accompanying an insertion of the power receiving unit into the charging pad, and to be conductively connected to the electric contact surface at a position where the first charging-pad-side terminal stops sliding after the insertion of the power receiving unit is completed, and a second charging-pad-side terminal formed by a torsion coil spring and provided in the recess, the second charging-pad-side terminal being configured to relatively slide on the electric contact surface accompanying the insertion of the power receiving unit into the charging pad.

  • Patent number: 9250598
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus capable of preventing a paper jam in an arc-shaped sheet passing path for turning around a sheet and transporting the sheet in a double-sided transporting path. In this apparatus, a double-sided sheet passing path is formed so as to include: an arc-shaped interval that causes the sheet to turn around and to be transported to a registration sensor on an upstream side in the transport direction of a sheet and that includes the registration sensor as one end point; and an interval that transports the sheet having passed between ADU transport rollers, obliquely downward. A single-sided sheet passing path is formed so as to include an interval that transports the sheet having passed over the registration sensor in a substantially horizontal direction.
