Patent number: 10962904Abstract: An image forming unit includes an image carrier, a body, a shutter unit, a first guiding portion, and a holding portion. The body holds the image carrier with a portion of the image carrying surface being exposed. The shutter unit includes first and second shutter members. The first shutter member is held by the body, being pivotable about a first rotational axis relative to the body, and includes a first inner surface. The second shutter member is held by the first shutter member, being pivotable about a second rotational axis relative to the first shutter member, and includes a second inner surface and first and second contact portions. The shutter unit is shiftable between a closed state and an open state. The closed state is a state extended with the image carrying surface being covered. The open state is a state with the image carrying surface being exposed.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: OKI DATA CORPORATIONInventors: Hisatoshi Saito, Yasushi Nakasone

Publication number: 20020163656Abstract: An image recording apparatus has a plurality of print engines aligned along a transport path in which a recording medium is transported. Each of the plurality of print engines records a corresponding toner image on the recording medium. The apparatus includes a plurality of rows of LED arrays each of which includes a plurality of LED arrays and is assembled in a corresponding one of the print engines. Each of the plurality of rows extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the transport path and illuminates a surface of a photoconductive drum in a corresponding print engine, and forms an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductive drum. The plurality of rows are staggered such that a following one of the rows of adjacent print engines is a predetermined distance ahead of a preceding one of the rows of the adjacent print engines.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2002Publication date: November 7, 2002Inventor: Yasushi Nakasone
