An electrical device includes a board; a cable including one end portion electrically connected to the board; a component fixing device for fixing a component through which the cable passes; and a fixing portion for fixing the component fixing device. The component fixing device includes a holding portion for holding the component and a fixed portion fixed to the fixing portion. Further, the holding portion includes a hook claw disposed at a distal end portion thereof, a hole portion for receiving a base portion of the hook claw and engaging with the distal end portion, an attaching portion for attaching the component, a first movement restriction member for restricting a movement of the component in a direction that the cable extends, and a second movement restriction member for restricting a movement of the component in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the cable extends.

Electrical device

A component fixing device includes a holding portion for holding a component with a hollow portion while restricting a movement of the component; and a fixed portion elastically connected to the holding portion and to be fixed to an object. The holding portion is inserted into the hollow portion of the component for holding the component. The holding portion may have a center holding portion abutting against an outer surface of the component and a pair of arm portions disposed at both sides of the center holding portion and capable of bending relative to the center holding portion, so that the center holding portion and the arm portions sandwich the component.

A medium feeding device includes a rib disposed on a feeding path along which the medium is fed. In a cross section perpendicular to a direction in which the medium is fed along the feeding path, an end side of the rib includes an end portion that guides the medium, and an inclined portion inclined from the end portion.

A printer has a main body, a back delivery unit, and a media turnover guide that is detachably or tiltably mounted on the main body. When mounted in an operable position, the media turnover guide delivers printed media face-down onto the top cover of the main body, where they can be easily retrieved. When the media turnover guide is mounted in an inoperable position or is detached, the printed media are delivered face-up to the back delivery unit. The media turnover guide may have a simple structure with a curved surface formed by a back wall and roof. The printer may also have a stacker for stacking the printed media delivered face-down.
