Claims13
An image printing apparatus for use with an other apparatus having an installation surface including different portions having different heights, said image printing apparatus comprising:
- a body including a lower surface portion having different portions with different heights;
- and
- a plurality of support means, each having height adjusting portions, for supporting said image printing apparatus with a substantially horizontal orientation on the installation surface of the other apparatus, and for defining a gap between said lower surface portion of said body and the installation surface of the other apparatus, for exchanging air and heat.
An image printing apparatus for use with a display apparatus having an installation surface including different-height steps in a back-and-front direction, said image printing apparatus comprising:
- a body including a lower surface portion having different portions with different heights;
- front and rear support means having a height adjusting function for supporting said image printing apparatus with a substantially horizontal orientation on the installation surface of the display apparatus, and for defining a gap between the lower surface portion of the body and the installation surface of the other apparatus;
- a blower fan that blows air into the gap through an opening in said lower surface portion;
- and
- a ventilation regulating member, disposed in the gap near a front side of the display apparatus, that regulates flow of air from said blower fan.
An image printing apparatus for use with a display apparatus having an installation surface including different-height steps in a back-and-front direction, said image printing apparatus comprising:
- a body including a lower surface portion having different portions with different heights;
- front and rear support means, each having a height adjusting function, for supporting said image printing apparatus with a substantially horizontal orientation on the installation surface of the display apparatus, and for defining a gap between said lower surface portion of said body and the installation surface of the display apparatus;
- a duct defining an opening in said lower surface portion;
- image printing means providing an internal heat source;
- and
- a blower fan disposed at a portion of said image printing apparatus other than a front portion,
- wherein the opening in said lower surface portion, said duct, said image printing means and said blower fan are in fluid communication with each other, and
- wherein heat from an external heat source including the display apparatus is guided into said duct through the opening in said lower surface portion, and is exhausted to the exterior of said image printing apparatus by said blower fan.
A table for supporting an image printing apparatus in a substantially horizontally orientation on an installation surface of a display apparatus having steps with different heights in a back-and-front direction, said table comprising:
- a base portion comprising front and rear support means, each having height adjusting portions, for defining a gap between a lower surface portion of the image printing apparatus and the installation surface of the display apparatus;
- and
- a ventilation regulating member, disposed in the gap near a front side of the display apparatus, that regulates a flow of air between said lower surface portion and the installation surface at the front side of the display apparatus.
