| 20090057469 | Locking member mounting structure of seat belt retractor - Provided is a locking member mounting structure of a seat belt retractor including: a locking base coupled to one side of a guide drum; a locking clutch rotatably coupled to one side surface of the locking base; a lock arm coupled to one side surface of the locking clutch so as to rotate at a predetermined angle; and a mechanism cover covering the locking clutch and the lock arm, wherein a leaf spring is fixed to extend to one side from a boss formed in the center of the locking clutch, and a fixing piece projects from one surface of the lock arm so as to be fixed to the leaf spring. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090134691 | Cylinder in pretensioner for seat belt retractor and pretensioner for seat belt retractor employing the same - Provided is a pretensioner for a seat belt retractor. The pretensioner for a seat belt retractor of a vehicle includes a torsion bar on which a webbing is wound; a gear member connected to the torsion bar; a base member with which the gear member is meshed and through which the torsion bar passes; a cylinder having a movement guide hole formed therein to supply a gas upon rapid deceleration of the vehicle; a piston having a rack formed at a side surface thereof in a longitudinal direction to be meshed with the gear member and moved along the movement guide hole upon supply of a gas, and; a cylindrical sealing operation part integrally formed with a bottom of the piston and projecting therefrom; and a sealing part coupled to an outer periphery of the sealing operation part to seal between the piston and an inner wall of the cylinder, wherein the base member has a hooking means for hooking the piston to a rack. Since the rack of the piston is hooked by the hooking means and assembled thereto, it is possible to form an appropriate gap (or a marginal space) between the sealing part and the straight movement guide hole. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20080231671 | INK-JET IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND INK SUPPLY DEVICE THEREOF - An image forming apparatus is configured to include an ink supply device with an ink flow path to a print head to eject ink toward a printing medium and a flow regulating valve for the ink flow path. The flow regulating valve to perform opening/closing operations according to at least the ejection amount of ink from a print head. The ink supply device includes a body, which has an ink discharge path coupled to the print head, a first chamber coupled to the ink discharge path, an ink introduction path coupled to the ink tank, a second chamber coupled to the ink introduction path, and a connecting path to coupled the first and second chambers to each other. The flow regulating valve is configured to open or close the connecting path, and a valve drive unit is configured to operate the flow regulating valve. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080297546 | INK JET IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An ink jet image forming apparatus, which is improved in a structure of an ink supply device so as to minimize an influence due to a pressure loss generated in an ink flow passage, is provided. The ink jet image forming apparatus includes a print head to eject an ink to a printing medium, an ink tank to store the ink, an ink circulation passage through which the ink circulates between the ink tank and the print head, a pressure controller which has an ink storage unit communicating with the ink circulation passage and an air storage unit communicating with external air, a valve mounted in the ink circulation passage between the ink tank and the pressure controller, a pump mounted in the ink circulation passage and pumps the ink, and a control unit to control operations of the valve and the pump. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090109267 | INK-JET IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING INK FLOW - An ink-jet image forming apparatus. The ink-jet image forming apparatus includes a print head having a plurality of nozzles to eject ink, an ink tank to store the ink, an ink supply passage to supply the ink in the ink tank to the print head, an ink return passage to return the ink in the print head to the ink tank, a regulator mounted in the ink supply passage to regulate ink flow supplied to the print head, a shut-off valve mounted in the ink supply passage, between the ink tank and the regulator, to intercept ink flow supplied to the regulator, and an ink pump mounted in the ink return passage to forcedly flow the ink in the ink return passage. The ink pump is configured to be driven in forward and reverse directions so as to change an ink flow direction. Since the shut-off valve intercepts forcedly the ink flow in the ink supply passage, the ink in the ink tank is prevented from flowing abnormally to the print head and leaking from the print head. | 04-30-2009 |
