Display system for seatback mounting

A monitor device including: a display section having a display surface; an operation section disposed at a bottom of the display section and having an operation surface substantially parallel to the display surface; a connecting section disposed at a lateral side of the operation section and having a connecting surface tilted downward relative to the display surface; and a surface switching section that connects the operation surface and the connecting surface to each other, and a normal of the display surface and a normal of the connecting surface form an acute angle.

Display device for seatback mounting

A video display system for a passenger seat of a vehicle. The video display system is configured to be mounted to a seatback of each passenger seat or to other structure such that the system may be utilized by the passenger. The display system includes a video display assembly having a display housing configured to be mounted to structure in the vehicle. A video monitor is housed within the display housing. The video display assembly includes a depending tab portion disposed below the area of the video monitor. The depending tab portion includes a tab display capable of displaying a computer generated graphic and/or information. The display system may also have one or more indicator lights provided adjacent the external edge of the display housing.

A fixing rollerwhich has an internal heating device and is supported to rotate around a cylindrical shaftand a pressure rollerwhose circumferential face presses against the fixing rollerand which is supported to rotate around the pressure roller axleare mounted in a housingso that, by passing paper P to which a toner image has been transferred, a fixing process is performed on this toner image. The fixing rolleris mounted in the housingby heat resistant bushingswhich are fitted on both ends of the cylindrical shaftAnnular groovesare arranged on the cylindrical shaftfor receiving C-shaped retaining ringsfor preventing the heat resistant bushingsfrom coming off. The heat resistant bushingsand the retaining ringsengage with each other to rotate in unison around the cylindrical shaft

Fixing device for use in an image forming device

A fixing device comprising a fixing roller, support rollers wrapped with a belt, bearings of the support rollers arranged at both ends thereof, pressing plates arranged between the bearings and each having a pair of tilted pressing surfaces that come in contact with the outer circumferential surfaces thereof, and pressing means for pressing the pressing plates toward the axis of the fixing roller. When pressed by the pressing means, the pressing plates press the support rollers toward the axis of the fixing roller via the tilted pressing surfaces and the outer circuferential surfaces of the bearings so that part of the region of the belt in the circumferential direction is press-contacted to part of the region on the outer circuferential surface of the fixing roller and, further, press the support rollers in a direction in which they separate away from each other to impart a tension to the belt.

Fixing device

A fixing roller 30, which has an internal heating device and is supported to rotate around a cylindrical shaft 40, and a pressure roller 81 whose circumferential face presses against the fixing roller 30, and which is supported to rotate around the pressure roller axle 82, are mounted in a housing 11, so that, by passing paper P to which a toner image has been transferred, a fixing process is performed on this toner image. The fixing roller 30 is mounted in the housing 11 by heat resistant bushings 50, which are fitted on both ends of the cylindrical shaft 40. Annular grooves 41 are arranged on the cylindrical shaft 40 for receiving C-shaped retaining rings 70, for preventing the heat resistant bushings 50 from coming off. The heat resistant bushings 50 and the retaining rings 70 engage with each other to rotate in unison around the cylindrical shaft 40.

When an operator applies a removing force to turn a switch portion b in a direction Ca projection aabuts against a slope bso that the removing force as a reaction is applied to the slope. The removing force is divided into a component working along the slope band a component F working in a same direction as a center axis X. Thus, the removing force is converted into a force F in the same direction as the center axis X. By means of the force F in the same direction as the center axis X, a pushbutton support bis moved downward as accordingly moving a movable contacts baway from a fixed contacts bvia a contact shaft b
