Patent number: 8699916Abstract: A processing structural member has a processing housing for supporting a processing portion, a locking lever, a cover and a holding portion. The locking lever changes the posture thereof between a locking posture of locking the position of the processing housing, and a releasing posture of releasing the locking. The cover is mounted on the processing housing to be pivotally movable between a covering position of covering the locking lever, and an opening position of exposing the locking lever to be visually recognizable. The holding portion is mounted on the processing housing to be pivotally movable with the cover. The cover has an interference member which is inoperable to interfere with the locking lever in the locking posture and is operable to interfere with the locking lever in the releasing posture in shifting the cover from the opening position to the covering position.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2012Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Kyocera Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Yuzo Ohnishi

Patent number: 7731180Abstract: A sheet-feeding cassette includes a main body. A locked portion allows the main body to be locked to a locking portion in a cassette accommodating section by inserting the main body in the cassette accommodating section. An unlocking unit is provided for detaching the locked portion from the locking portion when the main body is drawn out of the cassette accommodating section. A handle is provided in the main body and includes fixed and movable grips. The fixed grip has a recess with a “]” shaped cross section open to the insertion direction. The movable grip is slidable to a fitted state in the recess of the fixed grip when the handle is gripped, and a projecting state projecting partially from the recess when gripping is released. The unlocking unit operates for unlocking in accordance with changing of states of the movable grip from the projecting state to the fitted state.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventor: Yuzo Ohnishi
