Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de réception de feuilles obtenues par la coupe d'une bande de papier venant d'un rouleau de petit diamètre. C'est le cas notamment des feuilles de papier thermique sortant d'une machine imprimante, par exemple de télécopieur. Sur ces machines, le rouleau de papier thermique est d'un diamètre maximum de 50 mm et son moyeu de 1/2 pouce soit 12,7 mm. De ce fait, les feuilles imprimées qui sortent de la machine s'enroulent sur elles-mêmes et il est pratiquement impossible de les récupérer dans l'ordre d'impression.The present invention relates to a device for receiving sheets obtained by cutting a strip of paper coming from a roll of small diameter. This is particularly the case for sheets of thermal paper leaving a printing machine, for example a fax machine. On these machines, the thermal paper roll has a maximum diameter of 50 mm and its hub of 1/2 inch, that is 12.7 mm. As a result, the printed sheets that come out of the machine roll up on themselves and it is practically impossible to recover them in the printing order.

L'invention vise précisément à faire suivre à ces feuilles, à la sortie de la machine, un parcours pendant lequel, à aucun moment, elles ne doivent pouvoir se courber.The invention aims precisely to make these sheets follow, at the exit from the machine, a path during which, at no time, they must not be able to bend.

A cet effet, le dispositif de réception du type comprenant, à la sortie du rouleau de papier, une première goulotte sur laquelle se dépose l'extrémité de la bande, à la sortie du coupe-papier, une première pièce de guidage sur laquelle se dépose la feuille coupée, et un réceptacle des feuilles faisant suite à cette pièce de guidage, est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte, en outre, une seconde goulotte située au dessus de la première et sensiblement parallèle à celle-ci et une seconde pièce de guidage située au dessus de, et sensiblement parallèle à, la première pièce de guidage, formée par au moins une lame souple fixée par une de ses extrémités près du bord de coupe de la lame supérieure du coupe-papier.To this end, the receiving device of the type comprising, at the outlet of the paper roll, a first chute on which the end of the strip is deposited, at the outlet of the paper cutter, a first guide piece on which deposits the cut sheet, and a receptacle for the sheets following this guide piece, is characterized in that it further comprises a second chute located above the first and substantially parallel thereto and a second guide piece located above, and substantially parallel to, the first guide piece, formed by at least one flexible blade fixed by one of its ends near the cutting edge of the upper blade of the paper cutter.

Les secondes goulotte et pièce de guidage sont agencées et disposées pour casser la courbure naturelle du papier.The second chute and guide piece are arranged and arranged to break the natural curvature of the paper.

L'invention prévoit aussi, au dessus et à faible distance du réceptacle des feuilles, une pièce mobile d'un profil conjugué de celui du réceptacle et dont l'extrémité libre est rappelée au contact de l'extrémité libre du réceptacle. Cette pièce mobile est conçue pour obliger les feuilles à épouser la forme du réceptacle.The invention also provides, above and at a short distance from the receptacle for the sheets, a movable part with a profile conjugate with that of the receptacle and the free end of which is brought back into contact with the free end of the receptacle. This moving part is designed to force the sheets to match the shape of the receptacle.

L'invention sera bien comprise et d'autres détails apparaîtront par la description d'un exemple de réalisation, donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en se référant à la figure unique du dessin annexé qui est une vue schématique en coupe longitudinale du dispositif.The invention will be clearly understood and other details will appear from the description of an exemplary embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the single figure of the appended drawing which is a schematic view in longitudinal section of the device. .

Dans cet exemple, le dispositif est appliqué à la réception des feuilles imprimées issues d'une machine imprimante à papier thermique.In this example, the device is applied to the reception of printed sheets from a thermal paper printing machine.

Sur cette machine, le papier est enroulé sur un rouleau 1 situé sous la tête imprimante 2. Dans la zone de sortie du papier entre rouleau et tête sont disposées, d'une part, une goulotte inférieure 3, d'autre part, une goulotte supérieure 4. La goulotte 3 est sensiblement dans un plan situé ici à 5 mm environ en dessous du sommet du rouleau 1 et son bord amont 5 est presque au contact du rouleau 1. La goulotte 4 est fixée à la tête 2 et présente une partie aval 6 sensiblement plane dont le bord libre 7 se trouve ici à environ 1 mm de la goulotte 3. Le bord aval 8 de la goulotte 3 se trouve au voisinage de la face de bout de la lame inférieure 9 du coupe-papier.On this machine, the paper is wound on a roll 1 located under the printer head 2. In the paper outlet zone between the roll and the head are arranged, on the one hand, a lower chute 3, on the other hand, a chute upper 4. The chute 3 is substantially in a plane located here approximately 5 mm below the top of the roller 1 and its upstream edge 5 is almost in contact with the roller 1. The chute 4 is fixed to the head 2 and has a part downstream 6 substantially planar whose free edge 7 is here about 1 mm from the chute 3. The downstream edge 8 of the chute 3 is located near the end face of the lower blade 9 of the paper cutter.

La lame supérieure 10 du coupe-papier est munie, sous sa face latérale inférieure d'une pluralité de lames souples 11 parallèles dont le plan est incliné sur celui de la goulotte 3.The upper blade 10 of the paper cutter is provided, under its lower lateral face with a plurality of flexible flexible blades 11 whose plane is inclined on that of the chute 3.

A la sortie du coupe-papier 9, 10 est disposé un réceptacle 12 présentant une partie amont 13 incurvée, dont le bord libre est situé au voisinage de la face latérale de la lame 9 du coupe-papier, une partie 14 sensiblement plane et une longue partie 15 inclinée.At the outlet of the paper cutter 9, 10 is disposed a receptacle 12 having an upstream curved portion 13, the free edge of which is situated in the vicinity of the lateral face of the blade 9 of the paper cutter, a substantially flat part 14 and a long section 15 inclined.

Au-dessus du réceptacle 12, est disposée une pièce mobile 16 montée pivotante autour de l'axe 17 et qui possède un profil conjugué de celui des parties 14 et 15 du réceptacle. Cette pièce 16 est rappelée vers le réceptacle 12, de façon que son bord libre 18 vienne en appui sur l'extrémité 19 de la partie 15 du réceptacle 12.Above the receptacle 12, is disposed a movable part 16 pivotally mounted around the axis 17 and which has a profile combined with that of the parts 14 and 15 of the receptacle. This part 16 is returned to the receptacle 12, so that its free edge 18 comes to bear on the end 19 of the part 15 of the receptacle 12.

En aval du rouleau 1, l'extrémité de la bande de papier imprimée est reçue sur la goulotte 3 et la goulotte 6 casse la courbure naturelle du papier. La bande suit donc facilement la goulotte 3 en passant entre les deux lames 9, 10 du coupe-papier.Downstream of the roll 1, the end of the printed paper strip is received on the chute 3 and the chute 6 breaks the natural curvature of the paper. The strip therefore easily follows the chute 3 passing between the two blades 9, 10 of the paper cutter.

A la sortie du coupe-papier, la feuille imprimée est recueillie sur la partie arrière 13 du réceptacle et la feuille suivante venant heurter les lames souples 11 voit la courbure naturelle de son papier cassée par celles-ci. La feuille suit bien le plan de ces lames et arrive sous une incidence lui permettant de glisser sur la précédente.At the exit of the paper cutter, the printed sheet is collected on the rear part 13 of the receptacle and the next sheet striking the flexible blades 11 sees the natural curvature of its paper broken by them. The sheet follows the plane of these blades well and arrives at an angle allowing it to slide over the previous one.

La trajectoire du papier épouse ensuite parfaitement la forme du réceptacle 12, grâce à la pièce mobile 16 qui commande cette trajectoire.The trajectory of the paper then perfectly matches the shape of the receptacle 12, thanks to the movable part 16 which controls this trajectory.

On voit que grâce à l'agencement du dispositif qui vient d'être décrit, la bande de papier, puis la feuille, imprimée suit un parcours pendant lequel elle n'a pu, à aucun moment, se courber.We see that thanks to the arrangement of the device which has just been described, the strip of paper, then the sheet, printed follows a path during which it could not, at any time, bend.

Grâce à cela, il devient possible de récupérer les feuilles dans l'ordre d'impression.Thanks to this, it becomes possible to recover the sheets in the printing order.
