HANHELD PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17863499 titled 'HANHELD PRINTING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a printing apparatus that can be handheld and moved by a user to print images on a print medium. The apparatus includes a holding unit, a printing unit, a guide unit, and detection units.

  • The holding unit is designed to be held by a user to move the printing apparatus.
  • The printing unit is responsible for printing an image onto a print medium based on the movement of the printing apparatus.
  • The guide unit helps in guiding the movement of the printing apparatus.
  • The first detection unit detects the relative moving amount between the printing apparatus and the print medium.
  • The second detection unit is positioned differently from the first detection unit.
  • The displacement unit is responsible for separating the first detection unit from the print medium when it is in contact with both the first and second detection units.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Portable printing devices for on-the-go printing needs.
  • Handheld printers for printing labels, receipts, or other small documents.
  • Mobile photo printers for instant printing of pictures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for easy and convenient printing without the need for a stationary printer.
  • Provides a portable solution for printing needs in various environments.
  • Enables quick and efficient printing on the move.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased mobility and flexibility in printing tasks.
  • Simplifies the printing process by eliminating the need for a fixed printing setup.
  • Enables printing in remote or unconventional locations.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a printing apparatus including: a holding unit configured to be held by a user to move the printing apparatus; a printing unit configured to print an image onto a print medium according to a movement of the printing apparatus; a guide unit configured to guide the movement of the printing apparatus; a first detection unit configured to detect a relative moving amount between the printing apparatus and the print medium; a second detection unit provided at a position different from a position of the first detection unit; and a displacement unit configured to displace the first detection unit from a state where the first detection unit and the second detection unit are both in contact with the print medium into a state where the first detection unit is separated from the print medium.
