| 20080232852 | Image formation apparatus and photoreceptor cartridge - An image forming apparatus, includes: a mainframe; a photoreceptor; an exposing unit that exposes a surface of the photoreceptor to form an electrostatic latent image; and a developing unit that develops the electrostatic latent image by supplying a charged developer on the surface of the photoreceptor having the electrostatic latent image formed thereon. The photoreceptor is loadable in and unloadable from the mainframe separately from the developing unit. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080279583 | Photosensitive member cartridge, developer cartridge and process cartridge - A developer cartridge including a frame, a developer carrying member, and an input gear member is provided. The frame includes a first side wall and a second side wall, and the first side wall and the second side wall extend in a length direction. The developer carrying member extends from the first side wall to the second side wall in a width direction perpendicular to the length direction. The developer carrying member includes a developer carrying member shaft rotatably supported by the first side wall and the second side wall, and the developer carrying member is rotatable about a first axis. The input gear member, for supplying a driving force for rotating the developer carrying member, is rotatably supported by the first side wall so as to be rotatable about a second axis. A first distance between the first axis and the second axis in the length direction is about 14.0 mm. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090116889 | Image Forming Device - An image-forming device includes an extension tray and an engaging unit. The cover member is capable of opening and closing thereon. The extension tray is rotatably attached to an upper part of the cover member. The engaging unit engages the cover member with the main casing when the cover member is closed. The engaging unit includes an engagement part, an engaging part, and an operating part. The operating part disengages the engaging part from the engagement part when operated. The operating part is capable of being operated when the extension tray is closed. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090169248 | Photosensitive member cartridge, developer cartridge and process cartridge - A developer cartridge including a frame, a developer supplying section, a developer housing section, and an extension portion is provided. The frame includes a first side wall and a second side wall, and the first side wall and the second side wall extend substantially in a length direction. The developer supplying section supplies a developer to a photosensitive body cartridge, and the developer supplying section extends in a width direction substantially perpendicular to the length direction from the first side wall to the second side wall. The developer housing section houses the developer, and the developer housing section extends in the width direction between the first side wall and the second side wall. The developer housing section includes an open end at which the developer housing section adjoins the developer supplying section, and a closed end opposite from the open end. The closed end includes an exterior surface extending from a substantially bottommost portion of the developer housing section to a top portion of the developer housing section. The extension portion includes a first extension portion that extends away from the developer housing section in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the width direction and a second extension portion that extends away from the first extension portion in a second direction different from the first direction. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100054811 | Image Forming Apparatus Having a Removable Photosensitive Member Unit - An image forming apparatus can include a body casing, a photosensitive member unit configured to be inserted into and withdrawn from the body casing, the photosensitive member unit can be moved between a first position where the photosensitive member unit is stored in the body casing and a second position where the photosensitive member unit is withdrawn from the body casing, and between the second position and a third position where the photosensitive member unit is withdrawn from the body casing. The image forming apparatus may further include a control member disposed in the body casing, the control member configured to move between a holding position in which the photosensitive member unit is prevented from moving between the second position and the third position and a release position where the photosensitive member unit is allowed to move between the second position and the third position. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110064461 | PHOTOSENSITIVE MEMBER CARTRIDGE, DEVELOPER CARTRIDGE AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE - A process cartridge includes a developer frame portion and a photosensitive member frame portion, wherein when the photosensitive member frame portion is attached to the developer frame portion, a first extension portion and a second extension portion are positioned in a substantially overlapping configuration and the first extension portion engages the second extension portion so as to urge a developer carrying member toward a photosensitive member. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110085822 | Image Forming Apparatus Having a Removable Photosensitive Member Unit - An image forming apparatus can include a body casing and a photosensitive member unit configured to be inserted into and withdrawn from the body casing. The photosensitive member unit can be moved between a first position where the photosensitive member unit is stored in the body casing and a second position where the photosensitive member unit is withdrawn from the body casing, and between the second position and a third position where the photosensitive member unit is withdrawn from the body casing. The image forming apparatus may further include a control member disposed in the body casing, The control member can be configured to move between a holding position in which the photosensitive member unit is prevented from moving between the second position and the third position and a release position where the photosensitive member unit is allowed to move between the second position and the third position. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20090115661 | POSITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM, POSITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDING APPARATUS AND TRANSMITTER - Positional information is provided at a place out of reach of radio wave. The process executed by a positional information providing apparatus includes the steps of: obtaining a received positioning signal (S | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090189806 | SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING A SIGNAL FOR POSITIONING AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SYSTEM - A transmitting system, which is capable of transmitting a signal for positioning to an area where radio waves are hardly received, is provided. The transmitting system for transmitting the signal for positioning includes a GPS compatible mixer combining a GPS signal for positioning received by a GPS antenna and a BS broadcasting signal received by a BS antenna and outputting the combined signal, a BS-IF compatible amplifier amplifying the signal output from the GPS compatible mixer and outputting the amplified signal, a separator separating the signal output from the BS-IF compatible amplifier into a BS broadcasting signal and a GPS signal, a BS tuner receiving an input of the BS broadcasting signal output from the separator and obtaining a signal of a channel tuned by a user, a GPSBP filter passing a GPS signal included in a predetermined frequency band out of the signal output from the separator, and a GPS issuing unit. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20110050493 | POSITION INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM INDOOR TRANSMITTER AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING POSITION INFORMATION - Provided is a position information providing system which can reduce a time required for acquiring position information. An indoor transmitter is adapted to provide position information by using a second positioning signal compatible with a first positioning signal which is a spread spectrum signal from each of a plurality of satellites. The indoor transmitter includes an EEPROM which stores therein position data for identifying an installation location thereof, an FPGA operable to generate a second positioning signal including the position data as a spread spectrum signal, and a transmitting section operable to transmit the spread spectrum signal. The second positioning signal is generated to repeat the same content in a cycle shorter than that of the first positioning signal. | 03-03-2011 |
