  • Publication number: 20220212234
    Abstract: In a holder attached state in which a holder upper part 11 is attached to a brush rotation shaft 2, the lower surface of the holder upper part 11 and the inner peripheral surface of a holder lower part 18 define a brush accommodating space 23, and the inner peripheral edge of a holder bottom plate part 19 defines a circular holder opening 24 having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the holder lower part 18. A held part 31 of a brush body 30 is in a circular column shape incapable of penetrating through the holder opening 24, and is accommodated and held in the brush accommodating space 23. A cleaning part 32 of the brush body 30 is in a circular column shape smaller in diameter than the held part 31 and capable of penetrating through the holder opening 24, and penetrates through the holder opening 24 and projects downward.

  • Patent number: 9992368
    Abstract: A communication control method which prevents control over a USB device from being hampered and reducing power consumption at the same time. When the USB device and a control apparatus, which controls the USB device, are connected to the printing apparatus, and a communication via the printing apparatus is being carried out, the printing apparatus and the USB device are not shifted into a power saving mode in which energization of the printing apparatus and the USB device is limited. When the USB device and the control apparatus are connected to the printing apparatus, and a communication via the printing apparatus is not being carried out, the printing apparatus and the USB device are shifted into the power saving mode.
