Abstract:
An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a platen provided with a suction-collection section which sucks in and collects ink discharged deviating from an end portion of recording medium. The ink-jet recording apparatus includes a suction force generation unit for collecting ink configured to enable the suction collection section to generate a suction force, a collection flow path connecting the suction collection section to the suction force generation unit for collection, and a flow path control unit configured to vary an sectional area of the collection flow path. The sectional area of the collection flow path is varied according to an image forming time or a type of the recording medium.

Abstract:
A water pump is provided with pressure-feed means whereby coolant that has leaked into a space between a bearing and a seal member in a pump housing is recovered by being forcibly fed into an radiator reservoir tank.
Abstract:
A fluid pump includes a housing body mounted to a mounting plate in a liquid-tight manner, a pump shaft having a journal portion rotatably supported on the mounting plate and a cylindrical cam portion integrally formed with one end of the journal portion located in the housing body, an impeller mounted on the other end of the pump shaft immersed in hydraulic fluid at a backside of the mounting plate, a drive shaft rotatably mounted within the housing body to be applied with a drive torque and positioned coaxially with the journal portion of the pump shaft, the drive shaft being formed with an eccentric bore the center axis of which is radially displaced from the center axis of the journal portion, a carrier having a cylindrical cap portion rotatably coupled with the cylindrical cam portion of the pump shaft and a shaft portion integrally formed with the cylindrical cap portion coaxially therewith and rotatably coupled within the eccentric bore of the drive shaft, and a diaphragm of elastic material coupled at one end thereof with the cylindrical cap portion of the carrier and fixed at the other end thereof to an internal surface of the mounting plate in a liquid-tight manner to seal the journal portion and cylindrical cam portion of the pump shaft located in the housing body.
Abstract:
A fuel tank comprises a container having a chamber adapted to receive a body of liquid fuel and wall means defining said chamber, and a structure with a number of voids, said structure being so constructed and arranged within said chamber as to provide an arrangement wherein when said structure is exposed to the body of liquid fuel, said number of voids work to dissipate energy of waves created on the surface portion of the body of liquid fuel.
