Abstract: To meet a demand for changing a print medium size, particularly for increasing the size of print medium while at the same time satisfying the demand for higher printing speed. To that end, a plurality of printer units (116), which are spatially independent of each other (separate from each other) and also independent in the signal system and the ink system, are arranged in an appropriate layout to allow for a line-sequential printing. An information processing device (100) divides a generated image into a plurality of pieces of print data and transfers them to the plurality of printer units. A transport device (117) is installed to feed a large-sized print medium to an area where the plurality of printer units are arranged. The transport device transfers to each of the plurality of printer units a print timing signal corresponding to the position of each printer unit.

Abstract: A plate bending machine for bending a plate clamped between a lower die and a pressure die by a blade of a bending die mounted on a bend beam which is controlled in the vertical and horizontal directions. The bend beam has a vertical cross-section of substantially C-shaped configuration, and includes a first bending die attached to an upper portion of the substantially C-shaped configuration and a second bending die attached to a lower portion of the same. Blades are formed on at least one of the first and second bending dies to extend in the upward and downward directions, respectively. The horizontal bend arm may be connected to one end of a vertical bend arm which is disposed substantially vertically, by a shaft B (eccentric shaft).

Abstract: A mold clamping device for a pressing machine which bends a plate material inserted between upper and lower molds. The mold clamping device comprises a main frame (1) of integral structure, a holding ram (13) mounted on the upper half of the mainframe (1) and for supporting the upper mold (8) for vertical movement, a pair of arch-type thick springs (6) vertically mounted on the upper half of the main frame, and a crank mechanism (10) with which the upper end of each of the arch-type thick spring is connected through a crank pin (17). The crank mechanism creates a rotational force at a position near the dead center of the crank pins (17). This rotational force resiliently deforms the arch-type thick springs (6) which in turn create a resilient force for pressing the upper mold (8) against the lower mold (9). This provides an accurate and stable clamping force between the upper and lower molds.

Abstract: In order to economically remove harmful components in exhaust gases by using a simple and extremely durable system, an exhaust gas to be treated is introduced into a neutralizing tower provided with a first duct and a second duct. Harmful components in the exhaust gas chemically react with a neutralizing agent randomly stacked within the neutralizing tower, and such components become deposited on the surface of the neutralizing agent. Water is supplied from a water supply pipe to the surface of the neutralizing agent by driving a pump after passage of a predetermined period of time, and the surface of the neutralizing agent is washed thereby. Additional exhaust gases are further fed and reacted with the neutralizing agent, which has a renewed surface exposed again. The neutralizing agent can thus be repeatedly used for removal of harmful components in the exhaust gases.

Abstract: A data register is provided through a column gate circuit in a ROM array in which font information is stored. Desired font information is read out as parallel data through the column gate circuit based on address information inputted to a row decoder and a column decoder. The data read out is stored once in the data register. Thereafter, the parallel data stored in the data register is outputted to a printing output circuit as serial data in synchronization with reception by a printing output circuit, thereby to perform printing processing. Consequently, font information to be printed need not be stored in a RAM or the like through a data bus, so that processing is simplified and the speed of a processing operation is increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for shrinking volumes of waste foamed plastics which have been used as packing materials. The waste plastic materials are thrown into a hopper provided on a crushing room having an opening in an upper part and tapering towards its lower part. A plurality of crushing vanes having a radius of gyration of length reaching within said hopper rotate in said crushing room, to break the foamed plastics into shreds. The broken plastics flow into a sending cylinder through a receipt opening toward the side wall of the crushing room, and are sent forward by screw vanes within the sending cylinder. Subsequently, the waste plastics are compressed in a compression cylinder connected in series to the sending cylinder and further softened and de-foamed by a heating cylinder and exhausted through a nozzle provided at the end of the housing cylinder. Extruded bar like shrinked resins are cut into chips by a rotating cutter and exhausted from the apparatus by air flow.
