  • Patent number: 8960894
    Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus includes a first belt transport section having a first transport belt, a recording section, a second belt transport section having a second transport belt, and a guide mechanism provided in an upstream-side end part of the second belt transport section. The guide mechanism includes a guide support member and a biasing member. The guide support member has formed therein a guide portion to pass the recording medium held by attraction on the first transport belt to the second transport belt and a positioning portion to keep a fixed gap between the guide portion and the transport surface of the first belt transport section, and is arranged to be swingable in a movement direction of the first belt transport section. The biasing member biases the guide support member in a direction approaching the first belt transport section.

  • Patent number: 7263804
    Abstract: A vehicle door, wherein a drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a plurality of pulleys across which wires are laid are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is moved up and down by driving the wires, and the glass plate is prevented from moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed. Wire fixing portions are prevented from being damaged by large upward and downward stroke movements of the glass plate Furthermore, the wires are prevented from slackening when the wires are driven and stopped by providing a supporting rod along a path of upward and downward movement of the glass plate, and a contact member which has no contact with the supporting rod. Trumpet-shaped guide portions are provided at hole edges of the wire fixing portions, and the V-shaped circumferential surfaces of a tensioner eliminates slack in the wires.

  • Patent number: 7234274
    Abstract: A vehicle door drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a plurality of pulleys across which wires extend are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is supported by a carrier plate which is connected to the wire ends. The glass plate is moved up and down by the wires and is prevented from excessively moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed by a supporting rod positioned along an upward and downward path of the glass plate and a contact member. Trumpet shaped guide portions are formed at the edges of holes of the wire fixing portions of the carrier plate and the circumferential surfaces of a V-shaped tensioner are provided for eliminating slack in the wires.

  • Publication number: 20070015563
    Abstract: In a gaming machine according to the present invention, a main control circuit transmits, to a sub control circuit, a variable display pattern command which is indicative of the variable display pattern of identification information and identifies whether or not variable display of identification information should result in a specific display mode and a variable display result command indicative of the result of variable display of identification information. If the sub control circuit determines that the combination of the received variable display pattern command and the received variable display result command is a combination at the time of an error, it detects a predetermined error and notifies the result of the detection.
