Abstract:
A cutter includes a replaceable blade detachably attached to a cutter body. A main body block of the cutter body includes a container section that houses a slide block, a main body supporting section, and a main body connecting section that connects with the replaceable blade. The slide block includes a rear-side supporting section, a slide connecting section, a flexible section, and a wing section. A front side retaining section that retains the wing section from a front side is formed in at least one side of the container section in a height direction, and the front side retaining section includes a protruding engaging section. In an attached state, the wing section is engaged from a foreside by the protruding engaging section, and the wing section is released from the protruding engaging section by bending the flexible section of the slide block from the attached state.
Abstract:
A cutter formed by detachably attaching a replaceable blade to a cutter body. The cutter body can include a main body block and slide block. The main body block includes a main body supporting section supporting the replaceable blade back face, and a main body connecting section connecting with the replaceable blade from the front face side. The slide block includes a rear side supporting section supporting the replaceable blade back face, a slide connecting section connecting with and retracting the replaceable blade toward the rear side, and a back side protruding section protruding on the back side in a thickness direction. When attached, the replaceable blade elastically deforms to curve in the thickness direction, the slide block presses toward a main body block side in the thickness direction by elastic force of the replaceable blade, and the back side protruding section engages with a main body block engaged section.
Abstract:
A curl prevention plate for a replaceable blade for microtome is provided with an overlap plate portion overlapped on the replaceable blade and a curl prevention plate portion having guard functions. The curl prevention plate is connected to the overlap plate portion and arranged in a cutting direction. A slit for exposing the cutting edge of the replaceable blade overlapped on the overlap plate portion is formed between the overlap plate portion and the curl prevention plate portion. The slit extends along the longitudinal direction of the overlap plate portion and intersects the cutting direction. As a result, it is possible to provide a curl prevention plate for a replaceable blade, which is simple in structure and capable of not only preventing thin slices cut out from a sample from being curled and protecting an operator's hands and fingers from being injured, but also allowing an operator to visually check the state of the thin slices cut out from the sample instantly.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeding device that corrects skew of a sheet before feeding the sheet to a transfer position for image formation. The sheet feeding device comprises a driver, a feeder roller unit provided with a feeder roller rotationally driven by the driver and a separation roller, and two resist roller units each provided with a primary and a secondary resist roller. The resist roller units cause formation of a loop in the sheet between the resist roller units and the feeder roller unit during skew correction. When viewed in a direction of a rotational axis of the feeder roller, the first resist rollers and the feeder roller overlap at least partially, and the pressing member and the second resist rollers do not overlap. The first resist rollers and the feeder roller occupy different positions with respect to the direction of the rotational axis.
Abstract:
A blade has an edge exposed between a blade rest and a cap. A guard element extending perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction with respect to the blade contacts with a plurality of points on the edge to define a space between the user's skin and the edge during shaving. The guard element is kept under tension and pressively contacts an upper surface of the edge to apply force acting against the cutting resistance of whiskers to the blade. The guard element has a dent portion under the blade to reduce the distance between the user's skin and the edge.
Abstract:
There is provided a razor unit having a solid lubricant material which is dampened and swelled, when soaked in the water, for reducing rubbing of the razor unit on the user's skin. The razor unit has a cap member and a pair of blades protruded from the cap member. The cap member has a recess in the inner surface and a notch in the outer surface. The notch communicates with the recess. The solid lubricant material has a smooth surface and is accommodated in the recess. The solid lubricant material is retracted in the outer surface of the cap member, and protrudable from the outer surface through the notch when the material is soaked in the water.
