| 20090065331 | Inhibitor switch for automatic transmission - A movable contact board is engaged to a detent plate and the movable contact board is provided with a plurality of support portions, for example, four legs for supporting a stationary contact board and, on the other hand, the stationary contact board is provided with a plurality of guide grooves for reciprocally guiding the four support portions (legs) in the movable contact board along the rotational direction. Further, the plurality of the support portions (leg) are configured of the support portions, for example, four legs extending generally vertically from the movable contact board so as to straddle stationary contact points and bending portions provided in the four respective legs to penetrate through the pair of the guide grooves in the stationary contact board for supporting the stationary contact board from the backside. Thereby, an inhibitor switch preferable in view of reduction in the number of components and reduction in a plastic amount can be provided. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090065332 | Inhibitor switch for automatic transmission - A movable contact board is engaged to a detent plate fixed and fastened to a manual shaft and a shaft support portion for supporting the manual shaft which is a turning center of the detent plate to the stationary contact board is formed integrally with the movable contact board. Therefore, the detent plate, the manual shaft and the movable contact board cooperate integrally, leading to an improvement on relative position accuracy of the movable contact board to the stationary contact board. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090091317 | Contactless roration angle sensor - There is provided a rotation angle sensor which does not require resin and an O ring for sealing and is applicable to such a structure that a rotating body to be detected passes through a center portion. A waterproof surface on the main body side | 04-09-2009 |
| 20100288612 | Caulking coupling device, switch and transmission switch - A punch includes a first caulking surface and a second caulking surface caulking margins of which axially differ in depth and sequentially formed in a peripheral direction, and includes a regulating surface opposing an outer peripheral surface of a caulking process portion to the first caulking surface of the first and second caulking surfaces, which has a deeper caulking margin, wherein the regulating surface regulates radial fillet movement by caulking of the caulking process portion to promote the fillet movement to the second caulking surface of the first and second caulking surfaces, which has a less deep caulking margin. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20090274477 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF SUPPRESSING VARIATION IN IMAGE DENSITY - A fixing device includes a rotatable first nip formation member, a rotatable second nip formation member, a first heater, a second heater, and a controller. The second nip formation member is provided under the first nip formation member to contact the first nip formation member to form a fixing nip portion between the first nip formation member and the second nip formation member. The first heater heats the first nip formation member. The second heater heats the second nip formation member. The controller supplies a portion of power to the second heater and the remainder of power to the first heater when a plurality of sheets having a sheet weight not greater than about 100 g/m | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090274494 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF STABLY APPLYING OIL FOR FIXING - An image forming apparatus includes an oil input device and a fixing device including a fixing member, a pressing member, and an oil applier. In the oil applier, an oil application member applies oil supplied from an oil supply mechanism to one of the fixing member and the pressing member. In the oil supply mechanism, an oil supply member provided adjacent to an oil storage member supplies oil sent from the oil storage member to the oil application member. When the fixing device is reattached to the image forming apparatus after the fixing device is detached from the image forming apparatus, oil sent from the oil input device through an oil inlet overflows the oil storage member, and is supplied to one of the oil supply member and the oil application member provided adjacent to the oil storage member before an image forming operation starts. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090274495 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING AMOUNT OF OIL APPLIED FOR FIXING - A fixing device includes a rotatable fixing member, a pressing member, a motor, and an oil applier. The pressing member contacts the fixing member. The oil applier includes an application roller and an oil supply mechanism. The application roller applies oil to one of the fixing member and the pressing member. The oil supply mechanism supplies oil to the application roller. The motor is provided independent of other drivers, and supplies a driving force to the application roller to rotate the application roller at an arbitrary speed. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090274496 | Fixing device, image forming apparatus, and image fixing method capable of stably applying oil for fixing without adhering oil to sheet - In a fixing device, a controller switches a pressing member between a pressure application state to contact the pressing member against a fixing member and a pressure release state to separate the pressing member from the fixing member. The controller starts rotation of the pressing member before the pressing member contacts the fixing member in the pressure application state, when the pressing member switches from the pressure release state to the pressure application state. An oil applier includes an oil pan and an oil regulating member. The oil pan is provided under the pressing member to contain oil in which the pressing member is dipped. The oil regulating member is provided downstream from the oil pan in a direction of rotation of the pressing member to contact the pressing member to regulate an amount of oil adhering to the pressing member. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090274497 | Fixing device and image forming apparatus capable of effectively circulating and applying oil for fixing - A fixing device includes a rotatable first nip formation member, a rotatable second nip formation member, and an oil applier. The second nip formation member is provided under the first nip formation member to contact the first nip formation member. The oil applier includes an oil pan, an oil receiver, and an oil filter. The oil pan is provided under the second nip formation member to contain oil in which the second nip formation member is dipped. The oil receiver holds the oil pan. The oil filter is provided between the oil pan and the oil receiver to filter oil overflowing the oil pan. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090274498 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS WITH IMPROVED MECHANISM FOR STABLY APPLYING OIL FOR FIXING - A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressing member, and an oil applier. In the oil applier, an oil application member applies oil supplied from an oil supply mechanism to one of the fixing member and the pressing member. In the oil supply mechanism, an oil storage member is provided above and adjacent to one of an oil supply member and the oil application member to supply oil overflowing the oil storage member, when oil is put into the oil storage member through an oil inlet, to one of the oil supply member and the oil application member. The oil supply member provided adjacent to the oil storage member supplies oil sent from the oil storage member to the oil application member. | 11-05-2009 |
