IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18472412 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image forming apparatus with a unique design for the rotation bodies and frame body.
- The apparatus includes a first and second rotation bodies, a heater in the first rotation body, and a frame body supporting the rotation bodies.
- The second rotation body has a smaller length in the rotational axis direction compared to the first rotation body.
- The frame body has a larger total area of openings in the second region compared to the first region, corresponding to the one-end side and the other-end side of the frame body.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various printing and imaging devices where precise control of rotation bodies is required.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of maintaining structural integrity while optimizing the design for efficient operation of the image forming apparatus.

Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus includes: a first and second rotation bodies; a heater disposed in the first rotation body; and a frame body supporting the first and second rotation bodies. A second length is smaller than a first length in a rotational axis direction of the second rotation body, the first length and the second length being a length of a rotation shaft of the second rotation body exposed on a one-end side and an other-end side of the second rotation body, and a second value is larger than a first value, the first value and the second value being a total area of openings disposed in a first region and a second region of the frame body respectively corresponding to the one-end side and the other-end side of the frame body with respect to a center of the frame body.
