A recording section is configured to perform a recording operation with respect to a recording medium. An ejector is configured to eject the recording medium transported from the recording section to the outside of the recording apparatus. The ejector is provided with a plurality of press members. A switcher selectively causes none or one of the press members to abut against the recording medium.

A discharge tray includes a guide portion that is retractable or extendable, relative to medium stacking portions, in consonance with the form of the recording media that are to be discharged. When the recording media that are to be discharged have a predetermined form, the guide portion at the medium stacking portion is prepared so as to guide a recording medium from a discharge portion to the medium stacking portion. With this arrangement, when recording media are so formed that arranging them...

An integral type thrust bearing is proposed which can be manufactured with fewer heat treatment steps. The retainer and the inner and outer rollers not hardened are assembled together with rollers into a bearing and thereafter the assembled bearing is carburized, hardened and tempered. This eliminates the need for individual heat treatment of the retainer and the inner and outer rings and decreases heat treatment steps for the production of thrust bearings.

An electric motor comprising an inner periphery side rotor provided with inner peripheral permanent magnets with unlike poles, which are disposed alternately along a circumferential direction of the inner periphery side rotor, an outer periphery side rotor provided with outer peripheral permanent magnets with unlike poles, which are disposed alternately along a circumferential direction of the outer periphery side rotor, and a rotating device that varies a relative phase between the inner periph...

A heater duct is disposed between an air blower unit and an air heater unit. A plate is disposed in the heater duct near an outlet joint of the heater duct. The plate has a closure member and a plurality of through holes defined therein on opposite sides of the closure member. Air delivered under pressure from the air blower unit is divided by the closure member into air flows that pass through the through holes and are combined and mixed with each other, supplying air to the air heater unit wit...
