Abstract: An electronic device and support mechanism thereof. A first body is pivoted to a second body and capable of rotating between a first position and a second position with respect to the second body to close or open the electronic device respectively. A support member is connected to the first body, a position module is pivoted to the second body and a first spring is connected to the position module and the second body. When the electronic device is opened, the support member is moved by the first body rotating from the first position to the second position, thereby the position module rotates and joins with the support member to position the first body. When the support member is released from the position module, the first spring pulls the position module back, thereby the first body rotates from the second position to the first position to close the electronic device.

Abstract: An adjusting device provided on a transmission belt to adjust the tension of the transmission belt. The adjusting device includes a housing and a fastener fixed on the housing, the fastener engaging the transmission belt so that there is no relative displacement between the fastener and the transmission belt. A sliding mechanism is disposed on the housing and is capable of sliding in a linear direction on the housing, the sliding mechanism engaging the transmission belt so that there is no relative displacement between the sliding mechanism and the transmission belt. An elastic device is fixed to the housing at a first end and fixed to the sliding mechanism at a second end for maintaining proper tension in the transmission belt.

Abstract: A business machine comprises a paper feeding mechanism for transmitting papers. The paper feeding mechanism comprises a paper pick-up roller, an intermittence gear set connected to the paper pick-up roller, a first power supply connected to and used for driving the intermittence gear set, and a paper separating roller. The intermittence gear set drives the paper pick-up roller and the paper pick-up roller transmits the media at a first feeding speed while the media is in a first feeding position, and the paper separating roller contacts and transmits the media and the paper pick-up roller rotates at a second feeding speed to drive the intermittence gear set to disengage from the first power supply while the media is in a second feeding position.
