IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18338968 titled 'IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The image recording apparatus described in the patent application includes a belt, a support member, a holder member, and a frame.

  • The belt is passed around a drive pulley and a driven pulley.
  • The support member is fixed to the belt and supports a recording head.
  • The holder member has a claw part and holds the driven pulley.
  • The frame has a first opening for the claw part to penetrate.
  • The holder member is attached to the frame in a way that allows it to move relative to the drive pulley.
  • The first opening has an enlarged opening portion that allows the claw part to pass through without engaging with the frame on one side closer to the drive pulley.
  • When the holder member is positioned closer to the drive pulley, at least a portion of the claw part is positioned within a part of the first opening excluding the enlarged opening portion.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Image recording devices such as printers, scanners, or copiers could benefit from this apparatus.
  • It could be used in industrial settings where image recording is required.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The apparatus allows for easy movement and adjustment of the holder member relative to the drive pulley.
  • The enlarged opening portion of the first opening prevents the claw part from getting stuck or engaging with the frame.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of adjusting and positioning the holder member.
  • Reduces the risk of damage or malfunction due to the claw part engaging with the frame.
  • Provides a more efficient and user-friendly image recording apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image recording apparatus includes a belt passed around a drive pulley and a driven pulley, a support member configured to support a recording head and fixed to the belt, a holder member, having a claw part, configured to hold the driven pulley, and a frame having a first opening for the claw part to penetrate. The holder member is attached to the frame such as to be movable relative to the drive pulley. The first opening has an enlarged opening portion allowing the claw part to pass through without engaging with the frame on one side closer to the drive pulley. At least a portion of the claw part is positioned within a part of the first opening excluding the enlarged opening portion in a state where the holder member is positioned in a predetermined location closer to the drive pulley.
