Abstract

A display of the size of paper stored in a paper tray of a printer is provided. The display includes at least one control plate capable of sliding linearly in a predetermined direction, installed in the paper tray to define the edges of the stored paper, a pulley wheel capable of rotating around one point, in one side of the paper tray, and linear/rotary movement converting means for converting linear movement of the control plate into corresponding rotary movement of the pulley wheel, in which a window is provided in the paper tray to show a portion of the pulley wheel, and paper size indicators are displayed in radially-divided regions of the pulley wheel to show the paper size according to the position of the control plate . Thus, the paper tray (30) need not be opened to check the size of the stored paper.

Description

Be stored in the display of size of the paper in the printer paper feeding cassette
The present invention relates to a display of size that is stored in the paper in the printer paper feeding cassette, relate in particular to one and can make the user in the visibility scope, watch the display of size that is stored in the paper in this paper feeding cassette.
Typical electrographic printer comprises as laser printer or duplicating machine: a laser scanning device that is used for forming electrostatic latent image on light-sensitive medium; The developing apparatus of this electrostatic latent image that is used to develop; One is used for the image that will develop and is transferred to transfer device on the page from this light-sensitive medium; With a paper feeding cassette that is used to deposit this paper.
Referring to Fig. 1 that normal printer is shown, the paper feeding cassette of being installed 20 main body of this printer 10 relatively moves into or shifts out.
When printer 10 when network links to each other with many personal computers, the paper of various sizes will leave in this paper feeding cassette 20.So, when the shared printer of many users, before printing, the user must check the printer paper size whether with leave paper feeding cassette 20 in paper size conform to print mistake so that eliminate.
In routine techniques, need paper feeding cassette 20 is extracted out, is stored in wherein paper size with inspection from the main body of printer 10.
In order to address the above problem, the purpose of this invention is to provide a display that is stored in the antiquarian in the printer paper feeding cassette, this display allows the user paper feeding cassette need not be extracted out from printer can check the size that is stored in the paper this paper feeding cassette in the visibility scope.
To achieve these goals, the display of size that is stored in the paper in the printer paper feeding cassette that is provided comprises: at least one is installed in this paper feeding cassette, can be along the control panel predetermined direction linear slide, that be used to limit this storage trimming edge; One can be in this paper feeding cassette one side, around the swivel plate of some rotations; Convert the corresponding straight line/rotating movement converting device that rotatablely moves of this swivel plate to a rectilinear motion with this control panel, a window wherein is set in this paper feeding cassette, to show a position of this swivel plate, the paper size zone is displayed in the radially cut section of this swivel plate, to show and this corresponding paper size in control panel position.Straight line/rotation is rotated conversion equipment and is preferably included a tinsel that swivel plate is connected to control panel along predefined paths, with a spring that restoring force is applied to this coiling direction wiry on this swivel plate, it is connected to a side of this swivel plate and this paper feeding cassette one side, with the rectilinear motion of this control panel relatively keep this tension force wiry,
To make objects and advantages of the present invention become clearer to specifying of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the skeleton view of common printer;
Fig. 2 is the skeleton view that is stored in the partly cut-away of the display of size of paper in the printer paper feeding cassette according to of the present invention;
Fig. 3 is that the swivel plate of display of size of this paper of expression and the turning axle on the paper feeding cassette are through an interconnective view of wind spring;
Fig. 4 is the view of this swivel plate in the presentation graphs 2, and wherein the size area of paper is shown.
Referring to Fig. 2, in paper feeding cassette 30, be provided with first control panel 41 that to cut apart the paper storage area along the first direction rectilinear motion and can be along perpendicular to the second direction rectilinear motion of first direction, and second control panel 42 respect to one another and 43.
Row's guiding slot port 44 engagements on first control panel 41 and paper feeding cassette 30 bottom surfaces. Second control panel 42 and 43 also with these paper feeding cassette 30 bottom surfaces on row's guiding slot port (not shown) engagement.The distance that adjacent guiding slot port is 44 is the minimum displacement of first control panel 41.Be used to show that paper feeding cassette window 33 30 inside, that have preliminary dimension is set at the side that this paper feeding cassette 30 has the front side 32 of the grasps handle that is used to pull out this paper feeding cassette 30.Window 33 can be a hole or be made of transparent material.
The swivel plate 46 that the turning axle 45 that can stretch out around the inwall 34a from a groove 34 of paper feeding cassette 30 rotates is set at the inboard of this paper feeding cassette of these window 33 back.
Straight line/the rotating movement converting device that rotates this swivel plate 46 as the rectilinear motion with first control panel 41 is provided with a tinsel 47 and a wind spring 48, one end of tinsel 47 is connected to a side of swivel plate 46, its other end is connected to the side of this first control panel 41 back to paper, the end of wind spring 48 is connected swivel plate 46 and between the turning axle 45 on this inwall 34a, is used for relative to rotating of swivel plate 46 restoring force being applied to as shown in Figure 3 predetermined rotational positions, so that all keep the tension force in the tinsel 47 in any position of this first control panel 41.
This wind spring 48 can be replaced by a rubber belt.
The restoring force of wind spring 48 should be under the situation that does not move first control panel 41 this tinsel 47 of tensioning separately.
Roller 49 slides this tinsel easily.
As shown in Figure 4, display of size according to this paper, when and these paper feeding cassette 30 rear walls 35 and this control panel 41 between the corresponding paper size location of distance at this swivel plate 46 in the face of in the zone of this window 33 time, the user can see with this paper feeding cassette 30 in by the corresponding paper size cue mark of paper size of first control panel, 41 controls.
Can be according to the position of the outward appearance of printer and paper feeding cassette 30 and to swivel plate 46 and its window of facing 33 location.
Simultaneously, this paper size display is based on relative motion between this second control panel 42,43 and this swivel plate 46 and the relative motion between this first control panel 41 and this swivel plate 46.
As mentioned above, according to the display of size that is used for the paper that is stored in paper feeding cassette of printer of the present invention, the size that is stored in the paper in the paper feeding cassette can be seen from the outside, does not therefore need to open the size that this paper feeding cassette just can be checked this storage paper.
