A pulp molded cushioning material includes a hollow fitting portion, into which an end portion of an article is fitted. The pulp molded cushioning material includes a main body, a cushioning portion, and a protrusion. The cushioning portion is integrally formed with the main body and protrudes in a first direction from a peripheral edge of the main body to form the fitting portion together with the main body. The protrusion is integrally formed with the main body and takes a first posture. The protrusion is changeable in posture from the first posture to a second posture. The first posture is a posture in which the protrusion protrudes in the first direction from the main body. The second posture is a posture in which the protrusion protrudes in a second direction across the first direction.

A cushioning material of the present enclosure includes a base material and columnar support portions, and is arranged between a packed item and an outer box. The base material includes a main body portion which is brought into contact with a cushioned surface of the packed item and a bending part which is formed integrally with the main body portion. The columnar support portions are arranged in a plurality of places on a surface on the opposite side to a surface in contact with the cushioned surface of the base material. At least one of the columnar support portions is fixed to or formed integrally with the bending part such that, when the bending part is bent substantially perpendicularly with respect to the main body portion, all the columnar support portions protrude from the surface of the main body portion by substantially the same height.

A method for producing a photovoltaic device that includes spherical photovoltaic elements and a support with a large number of recesses for receiving the elements one by one and to the photovoltaic device. Each of the spherical photovoltaic elements includes a spherical first semiconductor and a second semiconductor layer covering the first semiconductor. A conductive adhesive is applied to the bottoms of the recesses of the support serving as a second conductor layer. The elements are disposed in the bottoms of the recesses with the conductive adhesive applied thereto, to fix the elements to the support and electrically connect their second semiconductor layers to the support. An electrical insulator layer, which has through-holes serving as conductive paths, is bonded to the backside of the support, and a first conductor layer, which interconnects the electrodes of the first semiconductors of the respective elements, is formed thereon.

This invention relates to a method for producing a photovoltaic device that includes spherical photovoltaic elements and a support with a large number of recesses for receiving the elements one by one and to the photovoltaic device. Each of the spherical photovoltaic elements comprises a spherical first semiconductor and a second semiconductor layer covering the surface of the first semiconductor. A conductive adhesive is applied in advance to the bottoms of the recesses of the support serving as a second conductor layer. The elements are disposed in the bottoms of the recesses with the conductive adhesive applied thereto, to fix the elements to the support and electrically connect their second semiconductor layers to the support. An electrical insulator layer, which has through-holes serving as conductive paths, is bonded to the backside of the support, and a first conductor layer, which interconnects the electrodes of the first semiconductors of the respective elements, is formed thereon.

A method for detecting an etching endpoint and a plasma etching apparatus and a plasma etching system using such a device are disclosed, in which time series data of a signal corresponding to the amount of light of the plasma light generated during the plasma etching process are arithmetically processed, so that the change of light amount is corrected and an etching endpoint is detected from the time series data after the correction.

The present invention is directed to a paper guiding device in an image forming apparatus, which is provided with claw displacement means for displacing a stripping claw,, such that a front end,of the stripping claw,separates from a position in contact with the surface of a pressure roller,, in synchronism with an operation of releasing a paper guide,from the pressure roller,. The claw displacement means has a bar,and an operating plate,. The operating plate,is slid in a direction indicated by an arrow X,in synchronism with the operation of releasing the paper guide,, so that the bar,displaces a supporting shaft,in the stripping claw,leftward. Accordingly, the front end,of the stripping claw,retreats from a guide surface,. Conversely, when the paper guide,is set, the operating plate,is slid in a direction indicated by an arrow X,, and the front end,of the stripping claw,is displaced to the position in contact with the surface of the pressure roller

An image forming machine comprising a rotating drum having an electrostatic photoconductor on the peripheral surface thereof; a latent electrostatic image forming means for forming a latent electrostatic image on the electrostatic photoconductor; a developing means for developing the latent electrostatic image on the electrostatic photoconductor to a toner image; a transfer means for transferring the toner image on the electrostatic photoconductor onto a sheet member; a cleaning means for removing a residual toner remaining on the electrostatic photoconductor after transfer; and a fixing means for fixing the toner image, transferred onto the sheet member, onto the sheet member is provided. The rotating drum is rotationally driven by a first electric motor, and the fixing means is rotationally driven by a second electric motor. The cleaning means includes a rotary brush means in contact with the peripheral surface of the rotating drum. A selectively connecting means is disposed which can be selectively set in an operating state for drivingly connecting the rotary brush means to the second electric motor to transmit the rotation of the electric motor to the rotary brush means, and in a nonoperating state for cutting off the rotary brush means from the second electric motor. The selectively connecting means is set in the operating state only when the rotating drum is to be rotated.

An image-forming machine comprising a cassette for feeding sheet materials that moves between an acting position and a drawn position which is forwardly drawn from the acting position in the housing of the image-forming machine. Provision is made of a locking mechanism which reliably locks at a preset position a front width restriction member and a rear width restriction member of the cassette for feeding sheet materials. The locking mechanism includes a locking member, a resilient urging member and a forcing means. When the cassette for feeding sheet materials is at the drawn position, the resilient urging member urges the locking member to the release position and when the cassette for feeding sheet materials is moved toward the acting position, the forcing member forces the locking member to the locking position to lock the front width restriction member and the rear width restriction member.

Image-forming machine equipped with a cassette for feeding sheet

A paper feeding device for taking out paper sheets contained in a paper containing section one at a time by a paper feeding roller to feed the paper sheets. When a paper jam occurs in the position of the paper feeding roller, the rotation in one direction of the paper feeding roller is continued, so that the paper feeding roller is returned to its home position. At the time when the paper feeding roller is returned to its home position, the rotation of the paper feeding roller is stopped, to prepare for paper jam processing. A nip portion which nips the paper sheet and a non-nip portion spaced apart from the paper sheet are located on an outer peripheral surface of the paper feeding roller. In the home position, the nip portion is not opposed to the paper sheet and the non-nip portion is opposed to the paper sheet. That is, when a paper jam occurs, the paper feeding roller is stopped in a state where it is not pressed against the paper sheet in the paper containing section.
