IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106951 titled 'IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image forming apparatus with a reinforcing member that interconnects the casing and the operation unit, along with an electric wire and a covering to enclose them.
- Image forming apparatus with image forming unit, casing, operation unit, electric wire, reinforcing member, and covering.
- Reinforcing member connects casing and operation unit, shorter distance than total length of electric wire.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various industries such as printing, photocopying, and document scanning where image forming apparatus are used.
Problems Solved
The apparatus solves the problem of securing and protecting the electric wire while ensuring a stable connection between the casing and the operation unit.
Benefits
- Improved durability and longevity of the image forming apparatus. - Enhanced safety by preventing damage to the electric wire. - Simplified maintenance and repair processes.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Image Forming Apparatus with Reinforcing Member for Improved Durability and Safety"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to image forming apparatus with reinforced connections between components, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the reinforcing member improve the overall stability of the image forming apparatus?
The reinforcing member interconnects the casing and the operation unit, but the specific mechanism of how it enhances stability is not detailed in the abstract.
What materials are used in the construction of the reinforcing member and how does this impact the performance of the image forming apparatus?
The abstract does not mention the materials used for the reinforcing member or how they contribute to the functionality of the apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to perform image formation on a sheet, a casing configured to house the image forming unit, an operation unit configured to receive an operation performed by a user, an electric wire extending from the casing to be connected to the operation unit and configured to transmit an electrical signal, a reinforcing member provided separate from and independent of the electric wire, the reinforcing member interconnecting the casing and the operation unit, and a covering configured to enclose therein the electric wire and the reinforcing member, wherein the reinforcing member is fixed to the casing and the operation unit in such a manner that a distance between a portion fixed to the casing and a portion fixed to the operation unit in the reinforcing member is shorter than a total length of the electric wire.
