  • Patent number: 8083312
    Abstract: A maintenance station of an inkjet printer mounted in a housing of the inkjet printer includes an ink cup rotationally and slidably coupled to the housing about/along an axis of rotation. The ink cup has a basic plate and a columnar rim around the basic plate. The columnar rim respectively defines a plurality of stopping ratchets and driving ratchets with the same gradient direction at a bottom and top thereof. A moving body is slidably disposed in the housing of the inkjet printer. An actuator movably disposed in the moving body moves together with the moving body, a tail of the actuator stretches out from the moving body for matching with the driving ratchets to rotate the ink cup. A plurality of housing ratchets are disposed in the housing of the inkjet printer and arranged into a ring for matching with the stopping ratchets to prevent the ink cup reversion.

  • Patent number: 7827877
    Abstract: A gear-rolling apparatus includes two gear units and a base. Each gear unit has a rolling portion, a rolling shaft extends from the rolling portion, a clicking column and two location columns extend from edges of a free end of the rolling shaft along an axle direction of the rolling shaft. The clicking column and the two location columns are spaced out from each other to form three grooves therebetween, a clicking clasp extends inward from the top of the clicking column. The clicking clasp has an inclined inner surface which inclines inward from top to bottom. The two rolling shafts are inserted into the hole of the base, the clicking column of one of the rolling shafts mates the groove opened between the location columns of the other rolling shaft, the location columns of one of the rolling shafts mate the grooves opened between the clicking column and the location columns of the other rolling shaft respectively, bottom surfaces of the two clicking clasps are against each other.

  • Publication number: 20090110437
    Abstract: A duplex document feeder defines a feeding path. A charging means, a guiding plate equipped with elastic force and a feeding means are located along the feeding path. A driver means provides drive source to the charging means and the inverting means. The guiding plate blocks up the feeding path while the feeding path is empty. The charging means charges a document into the feeding path. The guiding plate is pressed out of the feeding path by the document conveyed via the charging means. Therefore, the document may be conveyed through the feeding path. While the document is conveyed to the feeding means, the guiding plate returns to block up the feeding path via elastic force thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090040265
    Abstract: An ink-storing box includes a container, a cover covering on the container and a lock gate. The cover defines at least one communicating hole therein. The lock gate includes a base board movable arranged between the cover and the container and a drive portion located on the base board, the base board defining a cooperation hole therein. The lock gate is set between the cover and the container for allowing the hole of the cover communicating with the interior of the container or shielding the interior of the container from being exposed through the hole of the cover. Thereby the ink-storing box of the present invention can receive the ink jetted from the ink box and prevent the evaporation of the ink.

  • Publication number: 20080284817
    Abstract: A maintenance station of inkjet printer includes a supporter, an ink cup pivoted on the supporter and configured to receive waste ink, a driver and a preventing arm. The ink cup has a circular board and a ring. The circular board is pivoted on the supporter. The ring has a belt fixed on the outer edge of the circular board and a plurality of elastic arms. Each of the elastic arms has a base extended vertically from the belt and an inclined portion bent from the end of the base inclinedly. The driver is configured to push the inclined portion to rotate the ink cup. The preventing arm is configured to press the inclined portion to permit the ink cup to be rotated and push the inclined portion to prevent the ink cup from being rotated.
