  • Patent number: 9208659
    Abstract: A positioning structure, which fixes an operating unit (1) by a fixing bracket (4) and an adjusting bracket (2) provided with stoppers (3), easily performs the positioning that prevents the positions of the stoppers (3) from being displaced due to a customer's pressing force acted to the operating unit (1). Inclined rectangular holes (6) are formed at the adjusting bracket (2), and the adjusting bracket is fixable after fastening positions of fixing screws (5) are adjusted along the rectangular holes (6). Alternatively, step shaped rectangular holes (16) are formed, and the adjusting bracket is fixable after fastening positions of the fixing screws 5 are adjusted along the rectangular holes (16).

  • Patent number: 9109387
    Abstract: A cover opening-and-closing support mechanism is provided that reliably locks a gas spring, and in which a rod section of a gas spring is not damaged by a stopper portion. The cover opening-and-closing support mechanism includes: a gas spring equipped with pivot points at both end portions and including a cylinder section and a rod section; a stopper portion rotatably provided at the pivot point at a first of the end portions, the stopper portion making contact with the cylinder section when the gas spring has been extended so as to lock the gas spring; a gas spring stopper including a limiter portion that makes contact with the cylinder section before the stopper portion makes contact with the rod section; and a release handle portion for releasing the locking, provided at the gas spring stopper on substantially an opposite side to the stopper portion, such that the gas spring stopper swings towards substantially the opposite side to the stopper portion due to a weight of the release handle portion.
