20100247208 | TAPE CASSETTE - A tape cassette that includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface and a front surface, a wound tape mounted within the housing, a printer head holder insertion portion that is a space extending through the housing in a vertical direction and having an oblong rectangular shape in a plan view, the oblong rectangular shape extending parallel to the front surface, and a printer first support receiving portion connected to a first end of the printer head holder insertion portion and facing the printer head holder insertion portion in a first direction that is parallel to the front surface, the first end being positioned on an upstream side of the printer head holder insertion portion in a feed direction of the tape, the printer first support receiving portion being a first indentation extending from the bottom surface toward the top surface. | 09-30-2010 |
20100247212 | TAPE PRINTER - A tape printer that includes a tape cassette having a housing, a tape, a head holder insertion portion, and a first support receiving portion that is a first indentation extending from the bottom surface in a direction toward the top surface, a cassette housing portion in which the tape cassette is inserted or removed, a head holder extending from the cassette housing portion in a direction of insertion and removal of the tape cassette with respect to the cassette housing portion and supporting a printhead, the head holder being adapted to be inserted in the head holder insertion portion, and a first supporting portion provided on the head holder to support a ceiling wall portion of the first indentation as the first support receiving portion, the first supporting portion being provided on an upstream side of the printhead in a feed direction of the tape. | 09-30-2010 |
20100329767 | TAPE CASSETTE - A tape cassette that includes a cassette case, a printing tape fed along a specified first feed path, a double-sided adhesive tape fed along a specified second feed path, a cylindrical tape feed roller that guides the double-sided adhesive tape along a section of its outer circumferential surface, a laminated tape restricting member provided on a downstream side of the tape feed roller on the first feed path and the second feed path and at downstream ends of the first feed path and the second feed path where the first feed path and the second feed path overlap each other, and an adhesive tape restricting member disposed to oppose the section of the outer circumferential surface and apart from the outer circumferential surface by a distance that is shorter than a length of the channel of the laminated tape restricting member. | 12-30-2010 |
20130021421 | MULTICOLOR THERMOSENSITIVE MEDIUM AND PRINTING APPARATUS - In a multicolor thermosensitive medium and a printing apparatus, the multicolor thermosensitive medium includes: a base material; and a plurality of coloring layers including: a lamination group laminated on the base material and including one or more lower coloring layers; and an upper coloring layer laminated on the lamination group and having higher hiding properties at a portion where a color is developed than the lower coloring layers, wherein each coloring layer has coloring properties different from each other with regard to a heating temperature level necessary for color development, and wherein the upper coloring layer develops the color at a higher temperature than any of the lower coloring layers in the lamination group, and wherein the printing apparatus includes: a thermal head that applies thermal energy to the multicolor thermosensitive medium from a direction of the upper coloring layer. | 01-24-2013 |
20150015658 | Printer - The disclosure discloses a printer performing printing processing that forms desired print on a print-receiving medium. The printer includes a cartridge holder, a drive device, a thermal head, an energization device, an attribute detecting device, a first determination portion, and a processing portion. The cartridge holder removably mounts a cartridge. The drive device drives a feeding roller to feed the print-receiving medium. The thermal head performs printing on the print-receiving medium fed. The energization device controls energization of the thermal head. The attribute detecting device detects an attribute of the print-receiving medium. The first determination portion determines whether or not a tube cartridge capable of supplying a tubular print-receiving medium is mounted. The processing portion performs predetermined processing that is for suppressing expansion of the tubular print-receiving medium and is triggered by the determination that the tube cartridge has been mounted by the first determination portion. | 01-15-2015 |

20080245694 | Packaging container - A packaging container includes a first clamshell half, a second clamshell half, a connecting portion that connects an edge of the first clamshell with an edge of the second clamshell half, a sealed portion that fastens the first clamshell and the second clamshell to each other, the sealed portion being located at the edge of the packaging container on a side opposite to the connecting portion, and a severed portion that is provided in at least one of the first clamshell and the second clamshell between the sealed portion and a packaged object, which is accommodated in a room created between the first clamshell and the second clamshell when the clamshell halves are fitted to each other, and that is severed off for opening the packaging container. | 10-09-2008 |
20090196669 | Tape printer and cassette - A projection is provided in a roller holder. Accordingly, in a state wherein the roller holder is pressed against a supporting board to make a platen roller come in close contact with a thermal head, a cassette presses the roller holder through the projection in a process of loading the cassette inside a cassette loading portion. As a result, the roller holder moves in a biasing direction (direction from inward to outward of the cassette loading portion) , causing the roller holder to move away from the supporting board. Thus, even if a state is maintained wherein the platen roller adhered to the thermal head and the roller holder is kept pressed against the supporting board, the roller holder can be separated from the supporting board when the cassette is loaded up. | 08-06-2009 |
