A round recliner for a vehicle having three lock gears evenly spaced apart from each other. Each of the lock gears are interposed between a cam and a corresponding lock gear supporting member in such a manner that the lock gears are engaged with a circular inner gear part of a sector gear, wherein the lock gears are turned along the lock gear supporting members so that an outer gear part of each of the lock gears is disengaged from the inner gear part of the sector gear or the outer gear part of each of the lock gears is engaged with the inner gear part of the sector gear, thereby minimizing occurrence of clearances in the recliner and preventing any irregular engagement of the recliner.

Provided is an edge-light-type illuminating device wherein formation of a space between a point light source and the end surface of a light guide plate is suppressed, and thermal expansion of the light guide plate is allowed. The edge-light-type illuminating device (1) illuminates a liquid crystal panel from the rear surface, and is provided with: the substantially rectangular light guide plate (2); walls (3) surrounding the light guide plate (2); a plurality of holding sections (4), which are disposed between the respective end surfaces (7) of the light guide plate (2) and the walls (3), and hold the light guide plate (2) inside of the walls (3); and point light source rows (6, 6), each of which is composed of a plurality of point light sources (5) and are disposed along the respective end surfaces (7a, 7b) on the adjacent two sides of the light guide plate (2). Among the holding sections (4), the holding section (4) that faces the point light source row (6) with the light guide plate (2) therebetween is composed of an elastic holding section (4a) having an elastic force.

A vapor deposition apparatus includes: a vacuum tank; an exhaust section that performs vacuum exhaust in the vacuum tank; a vapor deposition source disposed in the vacuum tank to vaporize a deposition material; and a traveling path for allowing an elongated substrate on which the deposition material is deposited to travel along a concave path with respect to the vapor deposition source at least in a region opposing the vapor deposition source.

An image forming apparatus is provided, which includes: a photosensitive member; an exposure member; a gap keeping member; a positioning member and a swing regulating member. The swing regulating member is configured to come in contact with the exposure member at a contact position that is more upstream than the exposure member and that is more separated from the photosensitive member than a contact position between the positioning member and the exposure member.

A seal member 14 which seals a gap among a rotating body 9 provided in an opening of a frame body 13, a blade 18a, and the frame body 13 in an end region in an axial direction of the rotating body 9, the seal member 14 including: a first seal portion 14b which comes into contact with the rotating body 9; a second seal portion 14e which comes into contact with the blade 18a; and a third seal portion 14f which is constituted by a surface formed in a stair shape and sequentially arranged between the first seal portion 14b and the second seal portion 14e and which is capable of reducing a gap formed between the rotating body 9 and the blade 18a due to rotation of the rotating body 9.
