  • Patent number: 11572930
    Abstract: An antivibration unit attachment structure according to the present aspect includes: a vibration absorption part having a first elastic member which is elastically deformable in a first direction and which is connected to a vibration generation part; and a second elastic member which supports the vibration absorption part and which is connected to a vibration reception part. The second elastic member includes a movable part that extends from the vibration absorption part to both sides in a second direction and that is supported by the vibration reception part. The second elastic member is elastically deformable in the first direction and has an elastic coefficient different from that of the first elastic member. The vibration reception part includes a regulation member that comes into contact with at least one of the vibration absorption part and the second elastic member and that limits displacement of the second elastic member to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 5210551
    Abstract: An electrostatic recording apparatus includes a developing agent carrying member having a surface for carrying a developing agent thereon. A plurality of recording electrodes are arranged on the surface of the developing agent carrying member in parallel to each other at a predetermined gap while being electrically insulated from each other. An electrode cylinder is arranged to oppose the plurality of recording electrodes at a predetermined gap. A developing agent convey section conveys the developing agent such that a circulating convey path is formed along the surface of the developing agent carrying member. A voltage control section outputs a control signal including recording data. A recording electrode drive section is provided inside a space defined by the circulating convey path.

  • Patent number: 5198839
    Abstract: An electrostatic recording apparatus includes a magnet roll for conveying a developing agent along a predetermined developing agent convey path. A plurality of recording electrodes are arranged to oppose the magnet roll and along the developing agent convey path. An opposite electrode has a portion opposing the plurality of recording electrodes and is arranged with a predetermined gap from the plurality of recording electrodes. A voltage applying unit applies a recording voltage corresponding to supplied dot recording information to each of the plurality of recording electrodes to generate a transferring electric field for transferring the developing agent to the opposite electrode between the opposite electrode and the plurality of recording electrodes, thereby forming a dot recording image corresponding to the dot recording information on the opposite electrode.

  • Patent number: 5196890
    Abstract: An electrostatic recording apparatus includes a developing agent carrier member arranged along a predetermined developing agent convey path. A developing agent conveying section conveys a developing agent along a surface of the developing agent carrier member. A plurality of recording electrodes are arranged on the surface of the developing agent carrier member at a predetermined pitch. An opposite electrode is arranged to oppose the plurality of recording electrodes at a predetermined gap. A voltage applying section applies a voltage corresponding to recording information to each of the plurality of recording electrodes to selectively transfer the developing agent, which is conveyed along the surface of the developing agent carrier member, to the opposite electrode. The developing agent carrier member has a step at a portion on its surface shifted to an upstream side of a developing agent convey direction from a position closest to the opposite electrode.

  • Patent number: 4131092
    Abstract: An internal combustion piston engine has a main combustion chamber supplied with a lean mixture and an auxiliary combustion chamber supplied with a rich mixture. A spark plug ignites a mixture in the auxiliary chamber to project a flame through a torch passage into the main chamber. Walls in the underside of the stationary head of the engine form a flame guide channel diverging from the torch passage toward intake and exhaust valves which are located equidistantly from the torch passage. The torch passage may comprise an elongated slot or a pair of spaced openings.
