METAL FRAME OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210872 titled 'METAL FRAME OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The abstract of a patent application describes a metal frame for an image forming apparatus, consisting of multiple metal plates and supports.
- The metal frame includes a first support with a first metal plate and a second metal plate, a second support for the image forming unit, and a third support connecting the first and second supports.
- The first metal plate has a corner portion between two sections, while the second metal plate has multiple portions including a corner portion.
- The corner portion of the second metal plate faces a stretched portion of the first metal plate, creating a secure connection between the plates.
Potential Applications: - This metal frame design can be used in various image forming apparatus such as printers, copiers, and scanners. - It can also be applied in other equipment requiring sturdy metal frames for support.
Problems Solved: - Provides a stable and durable structure for the image forming apparatus. - Ensures secure connections between metal plates for long-lasting performance.
Benefits: - Increased reliability and longevity of the image forming apparatus. - Enhanced structural integrity for better overall performance.
Commercial Applications: - This metal frame innovation can be utilized by manufacturers of image forming devices to improve the quality and durability of their products. - It can also be attractive to industries requiring robust metal frames for various equipment.
Questions about the Metal Frame Innovation: 1. How does the design of the metal frame contribute to the overall stability of the image forming apparatus? 2. What specific advantages does the corner portion of the second metal plate offer in terms of structural support and durability?
Original Abstract Submitted
