20090129834 | Fixing device - A fixing device comprises a thermally fixing roller, a belt, and pushing means which pushes the belt toward the thermally fixing roller. A nipping region is formed between the belt and the thermally fixing roller. A maximum pressure is produced in an upstream end region of the thermally fixing roller in the direction of rotation in the nipping region, another maximum pressure is produced in a downstream end region thereof in the direction of rotation in the nipping region, and a pressure is produced in an intermediate region, which pressure being not higher than the maximum pressure in the upstream end region and not higher than the another maximum pressure in the downstream end region. | 05-21-2009 |

20080315167 | Engagement chain type hoisting and lowering device - An engagement chain type hoisting and lowering device is disclosed, including a hoisting and lowering table attached to the upper end of hoisting and lowering driving engagement chains. The engagement chains are raised and lowered by a pair of hoisting and lowering sprockets driven by a driving motor. The driving motor is located in a peripheral area spaced apart from the lowest lowered position of the hoisting and lowering table. In so doing, the lowest position of the hoisting and lowering table is lowered, reducing the burden of loading and unloading items onto the hoisting and lowering table, and making maintenance safe and simple. | 12-25-2008 |

A driving motor drives two pairs of hoisting and lowering sprockets which, in turn, raise or lower two pairs of hoisting and lowering driving engagement chains. By arranging two pairs of hoisting and lowering driving engagement chains on two opposed sides of the hoisting and lowering table, buckling of the hoisting and lowering driving engagement chains is suppressed, resulting in stable hoisting and lowering operations without slippage of articles on the hoisting and lowering table, and chain endurance is improved. The device is designed so that the lowest position of the hoisting and lowering table can be lower than the height of the peripherally located driving motor, for ease and safety of operation and maintenance. | 12-25-2008 |
