Abstract:
An inkjet printer includes a platen, a printing head, a feeding device, a pre-heater and a print heater. The printing head is configured to move in a right-left direction above the platen and to eject solvent ink from nozzles of the printing head on a printing surface of a medium at a printing position. The feeding device is configured to feed the medium on the platen in a forward direction substantially perpendicular to the right-left direction. The temperature controller is configured to control a pre-heater heating temperature of the pre-heater and a print heater heating temperature of the print heater such that a surface temperature of the printing surface of the medium at the printing position becomes within a range of from 30° C. to 70° C.
Abstract:
The method of sucking water is capable of easily removing excess water included in a backing member adhered on a plate of a polishing apparatus. In the method, the excess water is removed from the backing member by the steps of: pressing a water absorbing member onto a holding surface of the backing member, on which the work piece is adhered and held, so as to absorb the excess water from the backing member; and sucking the excess water absorbed by the water absorbing member.
Abstract:
A disc cartridge comprises: a cartridge body including an upper shell and a lower shell at least one of which is provided with an opening for allowing disc access; a disc tray that is formed to allow a disc-like recording medium to be placed thereon and is arranged in the cartridge body to be rotatable; a pair of shutter members each including a shaft-receiving hole to which a supporting shaft formed in the disc tray is to be inserted, an annular surrounding portion that surrounds the shaft-receiving hole, and a blade portion formed integrally with the surrounding portion outside the surrounding portion, the pair of shutter members being supported by the disc tray to be rotatable and being capable of opening and closing the opening of the cartridge body, each of a pair of shutter members is a member formed by injection molding and has a plurality of gate marks caused by injection molding, one of the gate marks is formed in a surrounding portion of the shutter member and another one of the gate marks is formed in a blade portion of the shutter member.
Abstract:
A clamping plate includes a circular-plate-shaped main plate and a cylindrical outer wall formed by bending an outer edge portion of the main plate. The clamping plate moves due to being pulled by magnetic attraction by a disc rotating mechanism to clamp a disk-shaped recording medium to the disc rotating mechanism. At least one of a convex that protrudes outward in a radial direction of the main plate and a concave that is depressed inward in the radial direction is formed in the outer wall.

Abstract:
A recording medium cartridge capable of permitting energy to be effectively transmitted from a welding horn to a casing to highly improve welding between an upper casing member and a lower casing member which is carried out in order to integrally form the casing. The casing members are made of crystalline resin to which a filler such as glass fiber or the like is added.
Abstract:
A tape cassette is provided with a lock member of a covering member integrally connected with a spring member having high durability and strength as well as improved workability at assembling. The tape cassette includes a covering member rotatably mounted to the housing to cover the tape member placed at a front of the housing, and a lock member provided inside the housing to lock the covering member in a closed state. The lock member is rotated together with the main body and is provided with rotation shafts pivotally supported in the housing, an engagement projection rotating around the axis between the locked position engaging with the covering member and the locked position not engaging with the covering member, biasing members for biasing the engagement projection toward the locked position, and an unlock member for shifting the engagement projection toward an unlocked position. The biasing member is integrally connected with the main body at a remote position from the engagement projection and the unlock member.
Abstract:
A tape cassette comprising a housing made up of upper and lower casings, a pair of reels around which a tape is wound and contained altogether in the housing, and a pair of cylindrical resin tape guides having a height greater than the width of the tape, said tape guides being securely fitted to corresponding tape guide posts also having a height greater than the width of the tape and provided in the lower casing. Each tape guide post has a press-fit rib formed in one piece with it on the side where the tape does not come in contact with the tape guide on it. The rib has a vertical height greater than half that of the tape guide and serves to make the dimensions of the tape guide post surface on the tape-contacting side greater than the inside diameter of the tape guide before being press-fitted.
Abstract:
A tape cassette housing capable of ensuring safety of a tape cassette in non-use of the tape cassette or during storage and transportation of the tape cassette. The tape cassette housing includes a housing body, a cover, a hinge for relatively openably connecting the housing body and cover to each other, and one or two pairs of projections provided on an inner surface of one of the housing body or cover. The projections are arranged in a manner to positionally correspond to pressing members of a tape cassette for holding reels of the tape cassette through the pressing members when the tape cassette housing is closed while receiving the tape cassette therein, to securely hold the pressing members, resulting in rendering the reels immovable in the tape cassette without any clattering. The housing may be provided with a locking mechanism for locking the housing body and cover together when the tape cassette housing is closed, to thereby further enhance safety of the tape cassette.
Abstract:
A magnetic tape cassette comprises a casing consisting of upper and lower half casings, reel hubs contained in the casing so as to be rotatable, a magnetic tape wound around on the reel hubs, a support pin projecting from the casing, a pad provided near an area of rotation of the hub, the pad having an intermediate portion turnably supported by the support pin and an end portion for pushing the magnetic tape to guide rollers and/or guide poles provided at the area where the magnetic tape runs, and a rib projecting from the casing and having the free end which is in contact with the other end portion of the pad so that the one end portion of the pad is urged to a side wall of the casing.
