The present invention relates to a card-type terminal such as a PC card with a memory card such as a USIM card. It allows a memory card to be secured easily on a tray and inserted easily into a card-type terminal. A card-type terminal includes a tray slidable in and out freely with a memory card mounted, and a guide which helps the tray slide in and houses the inserted tray; in which the memory card is placed on the tray, which is slid into the guide, thereby installing the memory card in the card-type terminal. The tray has a holder which secures, to the tray, the forward-end center section of the memory card mounted along the insertion direction of the tray and an elastic restraining piece which secures, to the tray, the backward-end center section of the memory card mounted along the insertion direction of the tray.

A portable electronic device is capable of protecting a camera against impact from outer peripheries of a casing, and clearly indicating the passage of the camera through an image-inversion position. A camera () is rotatably installed in a casing (). Windows (), through which the camera is able to view the outside of the casing and to be operated to rotate by a user, are formed in a front wall () and a rear wall (), respectively, of the casing. Each of frames enclosing the windows, respectively, has a part which lies near an outer peripheral side of the casing and which is constituted by a bridge portion () connected with the casing. In this construction, all the outer peripheral sides of the camera () excepting those corresponding to the front and rear sides of the casing are covered with the casing and the bridge portion (). As a result, an impact applied to the camera from a peripheral side of the casing adjacent to the bridge portion can be blocked by the bridge portion. In addition, when the camera is rotated to move the shooting or picture-taking plane thereof to the front side or the rear side of the casing, the image on the display becomes dark at a time for example, and hence the user is able to clearly recognize that the camera has passed an image-inversion position. A control part performs prescribed control based on an image of a wall of the casing which is taken by the camera and which lies between the front side and the rear side.

A paper separating unit and an electronic printing apparatus which includes said paper separating unit wherein paper is picked by a pick roller from a paper container, is fed into a gap between a first feed roller and a separate roller which are rotating in the same rotational direction, then the first sheet of paper is separated from the other and is fed to a second feed roller, and when the first paper is acceleratedly fed, and a motor which drives the first feed roller and the separate roller is stopped, a one-way clutch which prevents a separate roller from reverse-rotating together with the paper conveyed by the second feed roller so that feeding more than one sheet of paper can be firmly prevented.

Electronic printing apparatus, paper separating unit

A toner image transferring device is used to electrostatically transfer a charged toner image from a roller to a sheet of paper. The device includes a transfer charger for giving the paper an electric charge. A charge eliminator is located next to the roller for partially eliminating the electric charge from the paper. The charge eliminator is positioned to be adjacent to the paper and the roller, but displaced from the transfer charger. Paper passes through the device such that the paper is in contact with the roller when passing over the transfer charger, thereby optimizing the transfer of the toner image from the roller to the paper.

Toner image transferring device including transfer charger and AC charge

An image forming apparatus wherein an undesirable shock of the transfer sheet is inhibited by a shock inhibit device in at least either of a first period during which the leading end of the transfer sheet passes in the neighborhood of the second roller and a second period during which the trailing edge of the transfer sheet passes in the neighborhood of the first roller.
