Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a document positioning plate configured to position a document thereon, a document pressing unit which is attached to the document positioning plate to be openable and closable, a reading sensor which is movably arranged in a main body of the apparatus and configured to read an image of the document positioned on the document positioning plate, and a restricting unit configured to engage with the reading sensor to restrict a movement of the reading sensor, wherein the restricting unit has a lever which is provided in the document pressing unit in a rotatable and storable manner and urged in a direction in which the lever is stored and restricts the movement of the reading sensor in a state that the document pressing unit is closed and the lever is inserted into the main body of the apparatus, and when the document pressing unit is opened from the restricting state, the lever is pulled out from the main body of the apparatus to release the restriction and urged to be stored in the document pressing unit.
Abstract:
A locking apparatus for a movable carry module, comprises a controller using to fix the movable carry module of an electric device. The controller has a movable locking shaft normality stretch in the movable carry module, and applies to fix the movable carry module. The electric device supplies the electric power to the controller when receiving the external electric power, and then the locking shaft departs from the movable carry module, such that the movable carry module can move freely.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the claimed subject matter comprise a movable locking device for a scanner. In one embodiment, the movable locking device is used to affix a moving mechanical part inside a scanner, such as inside an optical chassis of the scanner. In this embodiment, the scanner comprises a platform, a lifting cover and a hinge set. The scanner uses the hinge set to allow the lifting cover to rotate relatively to the platform. The locking device includes a movable structure member and a buckling groove, in which the movable structure member includes a stopping piece and a holding rod used as the axis of rotation of the hinge set.
Abstract:
A chassis locking apparatus capable of being unlocked spontaneously is used for fixing the chassis in a scanner. The locking apparatus includes a groove interlinking next to the electric socket, a push rod in the groove, and a revolving locking element. By means of the strength of inserting the plug into the socket on the scanner, the push rod is pushed to move along the groove and hit the locking element, which is originally fixed on the chassis, to make the locking element rotate so that the chassis locking apparatus can be unlocked spontaneously. Therefore, no effort is necessary for a user to unlock the chassis locking apparatus by hand before using the scanner, which is convenient and timesaving.
Abstract:
An optical module apparatus equipped with a latch coupler includes a carrier movable on a guiding rod. The guiding rod is coupled with a turnable check member. When the optical module apparatus is on a flat and using position, the check member may pass through a check trough to enable the carrier to move freely and linearly and reciprocally. When the optical module apparatus is mounted in an inclined manner and moved away from the using position, the check member is subject to the gravity force and turns in parallel with the direction of the gravity force, and is latched on the check trough to restrict the moving range of the carrier. Thus the optical module apparatus may be prevented from moving by external forces during transportation and avoid being damaged.
Abstract:
A locking device for locking a movable module of an electronic apparatus disclosed by the invention mainly includes a control member and a latch connected to the control member. The control member is selectively movable between a first position for locking the movable module and a second position for releasing the movable module. When the latch stops at the first position, it also latches onto an operational interface or a mechanism component so as to prevent the user from electrically or mechanically operating the apparatus.
Abstract:
A scanner includes a housing having an upper-case and a low-case, a shaft seat positioned between the upper-case and the lower-case, a shaft set on the shaft seat, a scanning module set on the shaft, a lock for locking the scanning module, and buffer pads. The buffer pads are set between the shaft seat and the shaft and between the shaft seat and either the upper-case or the lower-case. One more buffer pad can be set between the lock and the scanning module.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus having a movable image reading unit, a locking mechanism locking the image reading device, and a position sensor. The image reading unit has an engaged portion. The lock mechanism has an engaging portion that engages the engaged portion. A first detected portion changes its position in accordance with the movement of the engaging portion. The position sensor detects the image reading unit when the image reading unit is in a first position, and detects the first detected portion when the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion.
Abstract:
A linear guiding apparatus at least has a shaft and a shaft holding apparatus. The shaft holding apparatus is adapted to slide along the shaft. The shaft holding apparatus includes a body, an elastic member and an adjusting member. The body has a V-shape supporting surface, wherein the V-shape supporting surface is along the axis direction of the shaft and supports on outer edge of the shaft. The elastic member is mounted on the body, wherein the elastic member is elastically contacted the outer edge of the shaft, and the shaft is clipped between the elastic member and the V-shape supporting surface. The adjusting member is mounted on the body and contacted the elastic member, wherein the adjusting member is utilized to adjust the position of the elastic member. Therefore, a shaft of any diameter can be clipped between the elastic member and the V-shape supporting surface.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a locking apparatus for switching between a lock state and an unlock state of a sliding device in a system. The system has a plug and a socket. The sliding device has a shaft. The locking apparatus has a sliding member, a spring, a hook, and a connecting member. The hook has an end part and a bending portion for locking the shaft. When the plug is plugged into the socket, the locking apparatus unlocks the shaft. When the plug is pulled out from the socket, the locking apparatus locks the shaft.
