The invention relates to a mobile window apparatus and a hot foil stamping device including the apparatus. The mobile window apparatus comprises at least one first window portion, the first window portion movable in a first direction; at least one second window portion movable in a second direction different from the first direction; and an actuating means configured to move the first window and the second window, respectively; wherein said actuating means moves said first window portion and said second window portion between a closed position and an open position, in said open position, said first window portion and said second window portion being spaced apart from each other to form an access opening, and in said closed position, the first window portion and the second window portion are close to each other so as to substantially shield the access opening and to keep a gap between the first window portion and the second window portion for passing through a sheet material for processed.

A mount apparatus to be mounted on a top surface, in a vertical direction, of a main body of an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet, includes a latch member extending toward the main body from a surface facing the top surface of the main body and being rotatable around a rotational axis extending in a direction along a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction, and a biasing member configured to bias the latch member in a predetermined rotation direction. The latch member is inserted into the main body through an opening that is provided on the top surface of the main body and is engaged with the main body by a biasing force of the biasing member in a state where the mount apparatus is mounted on the main body.

A liquid ejection head unit includes a page-wide type liquid ejection head detachably attached to a liquid ejecting apparatus and a protective member detachably attached to the liquid ejection head. The liquid ejection head includes an ejection port surface on which ejection ports are provided. The liquid ejection head includes a first rail portion, the protective member includes a second rail portion along a longitudinal direction thereof, and the protective member is made to slide in a first direction along the longitudinal direction of the liquid ejection head and cover the ejection port surface. The protective member is attached to the liquid ejection head, and then the liquid ejection head and the protective member are moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction and are removed from the liquid ejecting apparatus.

A serviceable machine includes a door assembly having a door, and a jointed assembly that extends between an external surface of the serviceable machine and the door. The jointed assembly is operable to move the door between a closed position in which an interior region of the serviceable machine is covered, and an open position in which the interior portion of the interior region is unobstructed. The jointed assembly may extend connectivity to the door when the door is in either the open or closed positions. Additionally, the door can mechanically and electrically decouple from the jointed assembly.

A liquid holding unit supplies liquid to a liquid ejector of a liquid ejection device. The liquid holding unit includes a liquid holder, an inlet, a plug, a shaft, and an engagement portion. The liquid holder holds the liquid. The housing accommodates the liquid holder. The inlet is used to fill the liquid holder with the liquid. The plug opens and closes the inlet and includes an elastically deformable plug body that covers the inlet and a holding member that holds the plug body and has higher rigidity than the plug body. The shaft is arranged on one of the housing and the plug. The plug is pivotal about the shaft. The engagement portion arranged on the other one of the housing and the plug and engaged with the shaft.
