SHAFT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18176401 Titled 'SHAFT AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a shaft with a torque limiter that has a rotation restricting portion. This portion is inserted into and engaged with the torque limiter. The rotation restricting portion has an outer circumferential portion that sticks out from the shaft and has a surface parallel to the shaft's surface. It also has an engaging portion that connects to the torque limiter. The engaging portion of the rotation restricting portion has a tip in the shape of an R that opposes the engaging portion of the torque limiter. The width of the engaging portion in a direction perpendicular to the inserting direction into the torque limiter is such that it can be inserted into the torque limiter.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shaft on which a torque limiter is mounted includes a rotation restricting portion. The rotation restricting portion is inserted into and engaged with an engaging portion of the torque limiter. The rotation restricting portion is provided with an outer circumferential portion which is projected in an outer diameter direction from an outer circumference of the shaft and of which an outer circumferential surface is formed parallel with an outer circumferential surface of the shaft and an engaging portion connected to the outer circumferential portion and engaging with the engaging portion of the torque limiter. The engaging portion of the rotation restricting portion is provided with a tip portion of a R shape opposing the engaging portion of the torque limiter, and a width thereof in a direction perpendicular to an inserting direction into the engaging portion of the torque limiter is a width capable of being inserted into the engaging portion of the torque limiter.
