IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345533 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The patent application describes an arm mechanism that connects a body-side rotary shaft to a cover-side rotary shaft, allowing for movement between the body and cover of a device.
- The arm includes a body-side arm member, a cover-side arm member, a connecting pin, a body-side urging member, and a cover-side urging member.
- The body-side arm member is supported by the body-side rotary shaft, while the cover-side arm member is supported by the cover-side rotary shaft.
- The connecting pin connects the two arm members, allowing them to overlap in the axial direction when the cover is closed.
- The body-side urging member urges the arm members in respective directions, while the cover-side urging member pushes the cover-side arm member towards the cover.
Potential Applications: - This mechanism could be used in various devices where a cover needs to be opened and closed securely. - It can be applied in electronic devices, machinery, or any equipment with moving parts that require protection.
Problems Solved: - Provides a secure and efficient way to connect and move the cover of a device. - Ensures proper alignment and overlapping of the arm members when the cover is closed.
Benefits: - Enhances the functionality and durability of devices with moving parts. - Improves the overall design and user experience by providing a smooth opening and closing mechanism.
Commercial Applications: - This technology could be valuable in the manufacturing of electronic devices, appliances, automotive components, and industrial machinery. - It has the potential to streamline production processes and improve the reliability of products in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this arm mechanism improve the overall performance of devices? 2. What are the key advantages of using this technology in different applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
an arm is disposed between a body-side rotary shaft provided in a housing and a cover-side rotary shaft provided in a cover. the arm includes a body-side arm member with one end supported by the body-side rotary shaft, a cover-side arm member with one end supported by the cover-side rotary shaft, a connecting pin configured to connect the other end of the body-side arm member and the other end of the cover-side arm member, a body-side urging member configured to urge the body-side arm member and the cover-side arm member in respective directions of being folded, and a cover-side urging member configured to urge the cover-side arm member toward the cover. when the cover is closed, the body-side arm member and the cover-side arm member overlap each other in an axial direction of the connecting pin.
