Abstract: On a medium transporting surface, a dimple
extending continuously from a transportation upstream
end of a medium to a transportation downstream end are
formed. Hereby, a leading end of the medium, after
pulled into the dimples once, is transported in the pulled
state. Therefore, it is prevented that the leading end
of the medium is curled up by a conventional partition
wall provided in the direction perpendicular to the
medium transporting direction, so that it is possible
to prevent a stain on the medium caused by contact with
a recording head.

Title: Fixture device
Inventor: KIMURA SATORU
IPC: E05B47/06
Filed: 2001-08-16
Abstract: When projection plates of fixture blocks
installed on a display apparatus body are inserted
into installation windows in left blocks installed on
a rail in a ceiling portion, the projection plates are
locked and do not come out, whereby the display
apparatus body does not drop even when a worker
releases his hands therefrom. Hence, the worker can
carry out cable connection work with free both hands.
Furthermore, to the configuration of a conventional
fixture device, a spring washer 18 and a sleeve 19 are
added between a screw 16 and a nut plate 14, whereby
when the screw 16 is tightened at an improper position,
a clearance Z occurs between the tightened screw 16
and a block 13, thereby allowing the screw 16 to move
up and down. Hence, if the fixing is improper, a
rattle occurs, whereby it is possible to find an
improper installation state. The display apparatus
body is provided with a latch section having
projection sections to be fitted into the recessed
section formed in the display section. This latch
section has an upper latch and a lower latch
configured so as to engage each other with balls held
therebetween, and when the upper latch is pressed by
the display section and moves, the lower latch 
engaging the balls also moves. When the lower latch
is pressed by the display section and moves, the balls
roll inside the slots in the upper latch, whereby the
upper latch is configured so as to move after the
lower latch has moved by a predetermined distance.
