A ribbon cassette includes a ribbon supply spool, and a ribbon take up spool that takes up an ink ribbon from the ribbon supply spool by rotating in a first rotation direction. The ribbon take up spool is provided with an engaging portion including first and second walls arranged in the second rotation direction in this order. The first wall is defined along a plane including a rotation axis of the ribbon take up spool. The second wall is inclined to face outside the ribbon take up spool. The ribbon cassette further includes an engaging member. The engaging member resiliently engages with the engaging portion by dropping into a space defined between the first and second walls and thereby prevents the ribbon take up spool from rotating in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction. The engaging member, however, comes off from the engaging portion when the ribbon take up spool rotates in the first direction.

A rolling screen comprises a screen case, a take-up shaft arranged rotatably about a central axis thereof within the screen case, and a screen wound on said take-up shaft so that the screen can be wound out of said screen case. The take-up shaft is normally biased in a screen-winding direction by a torsion spring. An outer peripheral surface of the screen wound on the take-up shaft is always maintained in contact with an inner wall of the screen case, said inner wall being located in a direction of winding-out of the screen, by pulling force applied to the screen upon extension of the screen or resilient force of a pressing spring when the screen is wound out or wound in.

The invention concerns an injection device for apportioning set doses of a drug from a reservoir to a subject. The injection device comprises a dose setting member (20, 70) which is screwed out from the housing (30) to set a dose and pushed axially back to the housing (30) in order to expel the set dose. A scale drum (80) is axially and inrotatable coupled to the dose setting member (20, 70) such that the scale drum (80) is rotated up a thread (34) when the dose setting member (20, 70) is rotated to set a dose. When the dose setting member (20, 70) is pushed axially back to its initial position to inject the set dose, the scale drum (80) is released from its inrotatable connection in order to allow the scale drum (80) to rotate down the thread (34) and back to its zero position.

A door unit for selectively opening and closing an opening in an object includes a door having a bendable slatted door body and a flexible sheet member positioned over the door body. Guide grooves in the object slidably guide at least the door body, and the respective ends of the door body and the sheet member are connected on one end in the sliding direction. By setting an appropriate spacing between the guide grooves, the generation of noise that would otherwise be caused by the door body and the sheet member rubbing against each other when they are opened or closed, is avoided. The use of the separate sheet member also significantly increases the options for the material to be employed for the design surface of the door unit.

A machine for applying one or more protective layers of material onto a tubular member, for example a pipe, in a substantially wrinkle free and continuous manner. The machine includes a brake tension unit for applying a constant tension to the protective material in order to neck down the material as it is applied onto the pipe, and a base unit for supporting and rotating the pipe. The constant brake tension unit preferably includes a conventional disc brake and a mounting arm for holding a core of material in engagement with the brake tension unit. Pressure applied to the rotor slows rotation of the rotor and the attached core which restricts the unwinding of the protective material from the core. Thus, as the material attempts to unwind from the core a preselected force is applied to resist the unwinding. The material is therefore placed under tension and, due to the nature of the protective material, the material elongates and necks down under the applied pressure. The brake unit may also include a tension arm for holding the protective layer against the pipe to prevent slack in the material as it is being applied.
