  • Patent number: 8317196
    Abstract: A medium conveying device includes a first guide member, a second guide member, a conveying member, and a support member. The first guide member guides one face of a medium to be conveyed and opposed to the one face when the medium is conveyed. The second guide member guides the other face of the medium and is opposed to the other face when the medium is conveyed, the second guide member being movable between a close position and an open position. The conveying member is provided in a conveying passage formed by the first guide member and the second guide member being at the close position in order to convey the medium in the conveying passage. The support member keeps the second guide member at the open position and is provided at a position outer than the second guide member in a direction that the medium is conveyed. When the second guide member is at the open position, the medium in the conveying passage is removable from the conveying passage.

  • Patent number: 8016652
    Abstract: An airflow diffuser (diffuser fan) comprises: a blade wheel formed of blade members 30, spoke members 40 and a hub member 50; a shaft member 20 forming an axis of rotation of the blade wheel; and a suspension member 10 suspending the shaft member 20 from a ceiling surface. This airflow diffuser (diffuser fan) is located so that air blown out from the air outlets of an air conditioner comes in contact with and rotates the blade members. Also, the rotating blade members receive the blown air in succession, and by deflecting the air, diffuse the blown air throughout the entire air-conditioned space.

  • Publication number: 20110206535
    Abstract: An airflow diffuser including a blade wheel that includes blade members, spoke members and a hub member supporting the spoke members, and that is located so that air blown out from an air outlet of an air conditioner comes in contact over a path of rotation of the blade members, a shaft member forming an axis of rotation of the blade wheel. The blade wheel is capable of being freely rotated by at least just the air that is blown out from the air outlet.

  • Publication number: 20110142515
    Abstract: A medium conveying device includes an alignment member, a skew conveying member, and a removal member. The alignment member faces one end of a medium and aligns the medium while contacting with the medium when the medium is conveyed in a first direction. The skew conveying member conveys the medium in a second direction crossing to the first direction so that the one end comes in contact with the alignment member and that includes a drive member and a driven member opposed to the drive member and driven by the drive member. The removal member has a tip end coming in contact with a face of the drive member to remove a deposit on the face. The removal member is placed along a rotation direction of the drive member so that the tip end faces downstream of the rotational direction.
