Publication number: 20060239637Abstract: At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a projection apparatus that can be separated into a projection section and a projection accessory section. The projection section can have a chargeable battery, and the projection accessory section can have a charging unit for charging the battery. The projection section includes a recording medium. A data file recorded on the recording medium is read by a control unit, and an image corresponding to the data file is projected onto a screen by an optical unit. The projection accessory section includes communication connectors, where the projection accessory section can be viewed as an external storage device on an externally connected PC.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2006Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Chosa

Patent number: 5831656Abstract: A recording apparatus is provided with a carriage that causes a recording head for recording on a recording medium to relatively travel with respect to the recording medium, a mechanism unit for driving the carriage and carrying the recording medium simultaneously, and a power-supply circuit. This recording apparatus includes a slanting portion arranged for the mechanism unit as a passage for carrying the recording medium, and, in a space made available below the slanting portion, the components constituting the power-supply circuit are arranged substantially in line in the direction substantially transverse to the slanting portion of the mechanism unit. With the arrangement of such structure, the efficiency of space utilization is enhanced and the apparatus can be fabricated more compactly, thus attaining the intended miniaturization thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Chosa
