Patent EP-0916526-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ISHIKAWA KAZUO
IPC: B60G17/005
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: An axle tilt control apparatus for forklifts is
disclosed. The forklift includes a rear axle (13) pivotally
supported by a body frame (2) and a rear axle (50) rigidly
fixed to the body frame (2). A mast (3) is supported at the
front portion of the body frame (2) to tilt forward and
backward. Forks (5) are supported by the mast (3) to be
lifted and lowered. The center of gravity of the forklift
in the fore-and-aft direction approaches the front axle (50)
as the mast (3) is tilted forward. Pivoting of the rear
axle (13) is restricted by the hydraulic cylinder (17) when
the height of the forks (5) is higher than a predetermined
height determination value (HA) and the weight of a load on
the forks (5) is heavier than a predetermined weight
determination value (WA) to improve the vehicle's stability.
The weight determination value (WA) increases as the mast
(3) is tilted forward. When a load on the forks (5) is
being unloaded, tilting of the rear axle (13) is permitted
regardless of the height of the forks (5) and the weight of
the load on the forks (5). Therefore, the rear axle (13) is
not unnecessarily locked.

Abstract: A disk player includes a selecting mechanism, a
switching control mechanism, a transporting roller-actuating
mechanism, and a pickup feeding mechanism. In the disk
player, an idler plate pivots in response to a direction of
rotation of a worm wheel that always meshes with a worm
provided on a shaft of a loading motor. Three idler gears
that always mesh with the worm wheel are provided on the
idler plate. The idler plate couples an switching idler
gear to the switching control mechanism at a disk mounting
position, couples a transporting roller-actuating idler gear
to the transporting roller-actuating mechanism, and couples
an pickup feeding idler gear to the pickup feeding mechanism
at a pickup feed position.

Abstract: A high-durability printhead (200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000) for
an inkjet printing system. The printhead (200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900,
1000) includes a substrate (82) having ink ejectors (e.g. resistors) (86) thereon and an
orifice plate (104) positioned above the substrate (82). The orifice plate (104) (which
preferably involves a non-metallic polymer film) has a top surface (110), bottom
surface (112) and a plurality of openings (124) therethrough. To improve the
durability of the orifice plate (104), a protective coating (202, 302, 502, 702) is
applied to the top surface (110) and/or the bottom surface (112) of the plate (104).
Representative coatings (202, 302, 502, 702) involve dielectric compositions
(including diamond-like carbon) or at least one layer of metal. This approach
improves the abrasion and deformation resistance of the plate (104) and avoids
"dimpling" problems. Likewise, an intermediate barrier layer (1002) of diamond-like
carbon may be used between the orifice plate (104) and the substrate (82). As result,
an additional level of structural integrity is imparted to the orifice plate (104) and
printhead (1000).
