  • Patent number: 7349202
    Abstract: A data processing device is described, having on its front a large display device, in which the tilt angle of the display device is adjustable whether the main unit of the data processing device is positioned either vertically or horizontally. A display device mounting unit 70 rendered at the front top part of the main unit 20 has a curved recessed portion 71 which when seen in section curves at an angle from the front to the inside of the main unit 20. A mounting member 50 having a curved surface 51 that is convex in section is attached so that the mounting member 50 can slide along the arc of the curved recessed portion 71. The mounting member 50 is also fastened to the top or bottom end of the back of the display device 30. Sliding the mounting member 50 along the arc of the display device mounting unit 70 when the display device 30 is installed to the main unit 20 enables adjusting the tilt angle of the display device 30.

  • Patent number: 7011463
    Abstract: A printer having a roll paper compartment 8 for housing a recording paper roll and a movable divider 83 for adjustably setting one side of the roll paper compartment 8 to adjustably accommodate different widths of roll paper and to facilitate placement of a remaining paper detector 90 in the roll paper compartment 8 for detecting how much paper remains on the paper roll. The divider facilitates installation of an after market remaining paper detector in the printer. The remaining paper detector can be positioned at a plurality of different angular positions around an axis of rotation substantially parallel to the widthwise direction of the printer. The roll paper compartment 8 of the printer 1 has a bottom 81 and a fixed side panel 82 for defining the other side of the roll paper compartment. The divider 83 is removably connected to the bottom 81, and can be selectively fixed to any one of a multiple number of positions along the width of the printer parallel to the longitudinal axis thereof.

  • Patent number: 6517270
    Abstract: In order to fix case members in relation to a frame member, an elongated fitting plate is fitted with fitting portions of the frame member and fitting portions of the case members. There is provided a fitting plate cover that covers the fitting plate and that fits to the case members thereby to constitute a part of the external shape of the printer. The fitting plate cover includes a protrusion for restraining the movement of the fitting plate. First and second engagement members are provided to fix a main case member with the frame member. The first engagement member prevents open-ends of side walls of the main case member from separating from the frame member. The second engagement member, which is located closer to closed-ends of the side walls, prevents the main case member from moving in the direction opposite to its attaching direction.

  • Patent number: 6421133
    Abstract: A hybrid printer includes a first printer, a second printer and a printer mounting base capable of mounting the first and second printers. The first printer has a first printing section for printing on a first recording paper, a first transfer path for transferring the first recording paper to the first printing section, a first base having the first transfer path formed thereon, and a first cantilever for supporting the first printing section above the first base. The second printer has a second printing section for printing on a second recording paper. The printer mounting base has a second base, a second transfer path formed on the second base and a second cantilever fixed to the second base. The second printer is mountable on the second cantilever of the printer mounting base.
