Patent number: 10103527Abstract: A shielded harness is simply constructed such that covered wires are fitted into a groove of a molded body, and then an opening of the groove is covered with a metal casing. This simple structure allows noise to be released to the metal casing, which functions as a ground, via a metal plate constituting the molded body when the noise is generated at a control system unit or comes from an external device. The metal casing of the shielded harness can be used as a housing of a device, such as a power converter, and therefore, a fixing tool is not required for wiring, and the wiring is made easy. Moreover, compared with a conventional shielded wire, this shielded harness has a small number of parts and is produced by an easy method, thereby allowing reduction in production cost.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventor: Takashi Omura

Patent number: 9592977Abstract: A first actuator is detected at a first detection position by a detecting unit when no sheet is held on a feed tray, and is not detected at a first non-detection position by the detecting unit when the first actuator is in contact with a sheet held on the feed tray. A second actuator is detected at a second detection position by the detecting unit when the second actuator is in contact, at a predetermined position downstream of the first actuator in a conveying direction, with a sheet conveyed, and is not detected at a second non-detection position by the detecting unit when the second actuator is out of contact, at the predetermined position, with the sheet conveyed. A restricting member restricts the first actuator from moving from the first non-detection position to the first detection position when the second actuator is at the second detection position.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yasuhira Ota, Noriyuki Kawamata, Takashi Omura
