Abstract: A printer capable of separating a print medium from a mount and ejecting the print medium includes: a platen roller configured to feed, along a feeding path, a mount to which a print medium temporarily adheres; a print head configured to print on the print medium, the print head being opposed to the platen roller; a driven roller that is movable between a first position and a second position different from the first position; a separation member configured to separate a feeding path of the mount and a feeding path of the print medium; and a looseness prevention mechanism configured to prevent the mount from being loose while the driven roller moves from the second feed position to the first feed position. The first position is a position where the driven roller is opposed to the platen roller. The driven roller is configured to be driven by the platen roller while coming in contact with the mount.

Abstract: A photocurable composition is supplied onto an auxiliary table provided to be capable of being adjacent to a fabrication table. One of the fabrication table and the auxiliary table is moved relative to the other one of the fabrication table and the auxiliary table in an up-and-down direction. The photocurable composition that has been supplied to the auxiliary table is drawn and spread by a recoater on a fabrication surface of the fabrication table or on a cured composition layer. The photocurable composition on the fabrication surface of the fabrication table is exposed by an exposure device, so that a cured composition layer is formed.

Abstract: The printer in the exemplary embodiment includes a functional unit Y. The functional unit Y includes: an opening and closing cover 3; a platen roller 10; a thermal head 28, a control board unit 40 and a battery container 33. The functional unit Y is accommodated in a body case. A front cover 5 is fixed to a body case 2. The front cover 5 enables the opening and closing cover 3 to be opened and closed, and protects the functional unit Y.

Abstract: A printer has a separation unit attached to a support board. The separation unit includes a guide rail hole to engage with a shaft so as to slide and swing with respect to the support board. The separation unit moves to a continuous ejection position in which one end of the guide rail hole comes in contact with the shaft, swings in a first rotation direction about the shaft in contact with the other end side of the guide rail hole so as to move away from a thermal head to a swing end position in which the separation unit on the forward end side is within a swing trajectory of the opening and closing cover, and swings from the swing end position in a second rotation direction while engaging on the forward end side with the opening and closing cover moving to the closed position so as to be located at a separation ejection position where the separation roller is adjacent to the feed roller when the opening and closing cover is located at the closed position.

Abstract: A printer cover locking mechanism has a reduced number of parts and may be assembled in a small space, by simplification of a print head (thermal head (13)) mechanism, a cover lock (27) mechanism relating to opening and closing of an opening and closing cover (3), and a heat dissipation mechanism for a print head (13). The cover lock (27) also serves as a heat dissipation plate. A printer cover locking mechanism includes the opening and closing cover (3) that opens and closes with respect to a printer housing (2). A print head (13) for printing on print paper (continuous label body (4)), a platen roller (14) for feeding a print paper (4) by sandwiching the print paper (4) between the platen roller (14) and the print head (13), and a cover lock (27) for causing the print head (13) to contact with and separate from the platen roller (14) by engaging with and disengaging from the platen roller (14), respectively.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to evaluate a tracheal intubation technique in consideration of various points to remember related to a tracheal intubation treatment. A tracheal intubation training apparatus (10) is provided with a model (14) which has an appearance modeled on the upper body portion of a human body and an evaluation means (15) which evaluates the tracheal intubation technique carried out to the model (14). The model (14) has pressure sensors (46, 57, 62, 66) which measure pressurizing force when a tracheal intubation device (12) touches respective sections (31, 32, 34, 36, 41, 63) modeled on sections from the inside of the mouth through to that of the trachea of a living body, position detection sensors (69, 76) which detect whether the tracheal intubation device (12) exists in the predetermined areas of the tracheal part (63) and an esophageal part (64), and angle sensors (79 to 81) which detect the postures of a head/face part (28A), a neck/chest part (28B), and a lower jaw part (31).
