  • Patent number: 6511448
    Abstract: The invention provides a massage machine of the chair type having contact portions for applying a pressing force concentrically or dividedly so as to massage the user with the desired intensity. The machine comprises a massage unit having a first therapeutic finger for giving tapping massage to the upper part or the upper to frontal part of the shoulder of the user, and a second therapeutic finger for giving tapping massage to the back or the back to the posterior part of the shoulder. The fingers each have a portion to be brought into contact with the user at the forward end of an arm. The arms are pivotally movable independently of each other by respective finger drive means.

  • Patent number: 5138384
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine includes a mouse connected to a main unit to input positional information for editing. When the mouse is moved on an original for editing, pulses are generated from the mouse according to a rotation of a roller, which are counted by a counter of a microcomputer. A count value of the counter is utilized as positional data. In order to display a copy quantity, there is provided a segmental display. In the editing mode, a predetermined segment of the segmental display is selectively lightened so as to display the states of sequential position designations by the mouse. Therefore, it is possible to visibly confirm the state of the position designations for editing.

  • Patent number: 4812875
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine having an editorial function includes a switch for setting "moving" mode. On the other hand, position whereto an original image should be moved and reproduced is designated by a mouse. The position is set and the switch is operated, then a microcomputer makes a movable light source or an original table to move in accordance with an inputted positional data prior to an acutal copying operation. During this moving of the movable light source, the microcomputer preliminarily measures a resist clutch ON timing when a toner image will be just transferred on the designated position. In actual copying operation, the resist clutch ON timing is controlled based on a time data measured by the microcomputer in the preliminary moving of the light source.

  • Patent number: 4796052
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine comprises a mouse which is connected to a main unit by a connecting cord and is for inputting positional information for editing. The mouse has a roller whose peripheral side surface is exposed from a case. When the mouse is moved while the peripheral side surface of the roller is brought in contact with a surface of an original, pulses are generated from the mouse attending on rotation of the roller, and these pulses are counted by a counter of a microcomputer. The counted value of the counter is utilized as positional data for editing by the microcomputer. Based on that positional data, the microcomputer partially and selectively lightens of a plurality of LED elements constituting a LED array. Therefore, an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor-drum is partially erased so that "masking or "trimming" of an image in an area defined by the positional data is executed.

  • Patent number: 4684235
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus such as an electronic copier and the like, particularly constructed such that the apparatus can be raised to a right angle from the posture in the normal operation for removing a jammed paper through the exposed bottom thereof or for carrying is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a sensor for sensing whether the apparatus is in posture for the normal image forming operation or not and a means for stopping the image forming operation when the apparatus is not in posture for the normal image forming operation. Such problems that the parts of the apparatus may be out of order, the original support plate may be damaged and the like by accidental operation when the apparatus is raised to a right angle from the posture in normal operation for removing a jammed paper and the like are eliminated.

  • Patent number: 4652111
    Abstract: An electrostatic recording apparatus comprises a photosensitive body whereon an electrostatic latent image is formed and the electrostatic latent image is toner-developed by a developing apparatus. The developing apparatus is fed with a toner from a toner hopper. When at least two of plural operating keys arranged in an operation panel, for example, a copy quantity setting key and a start key, are operated at the same time or in sequence, respondingly, a toner feeding roller is operated for a predetermined time and thereby a predetermined amount of toner can be fed to the developing apparatus from the toner hopper. A key dedicated to command feeding the toner can be dispensed with.
