Definitions
- the invention relates to a printer with a sheet supply cassette and a sheet separating device for separating and feeding single sheets to be printed from the
- Sheet supply cassette in a printing position and with a sheet tray for receiving the printed single sheets coming from the printing position.
- a printer known from EP-A-0 106 801
- Sheet tray for receiving the printed single sheets coming from the printing position.
- the height of the printer is largely determined by the essay, which must also be handled separately as an addition to the printer.
- a printer is known in which the sheet supply cassette can be inserted horizontally into the housing of the printer like a drawer. Since the sheet supply cassette occupies a device base area that corresponds at least to the individual sheets to be printed, this known printer also has a relatively large construction volume.
- laptop devices which are characterized by a particularly compact structure and like one
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a printer with an automatic single sheet feeder is characterized by a particularly compact structure.
- the object is achieved in that, in the printer of the type mentioned, the sheet supply cassette consists of two cassette sections which can be pivoted relative to one another, of which the first cassette section in the interior of the printer is firmly opposed in the inclined position of the sheet separating device and the second cassette section in the form of a is pivotally mounted on the printer hinged cover, which forms the top of the printer in the closed state and can be determined in the open state in an inclined position in which the inside of the cover is flush with the first cassette section.
- the subdivision of the sheet supply cassette into the two mutually pivotable cassette sections ensures that the second cassette section designed as a hinged lid can be shorter by the length of the first cassette section fixed in the printer than the length of the individual sheets to be accommodated by the sheet supply cassette. This means that the overall length of the printer, which is determined by the length of the hinged cover, and the overall height of the printer, which corresponds approximately to the length of the first cassette section, need not in total necessarily be greater than that
- the length of the hinged lid does not necessarily have to be less than that of the single sheets; a compact printer construction is thus achieved even if the hinged cover is approximately as long as the individual sheets in order to serve as a memory for holding the single sheet supply, as is explained in more detail below, according to a further advantage of the printer according to the invention.
- the hinged lid also advantageously serves as a protection and cover for sensitive parts of the printer when it is being transported and as protection for the respective means of transport - for example a briefcase - against sharp-edged parts of the printer.
- the hinged cover has a plate which is opposite and parallel to the inside of the cover and which, when the hinged cover is opened, is at least approximately perpendicular to a sheet support edge arranged in the printer, forming the sheet tray.
- the printer on its side facing the hinged cover has an actuating element which can be actuated by closing the hinged cover, for switching printer functions.
- the actuating element can be a transport lock which, when the hinged lid is closed, moves parts of the printer such as, for. B. holds the printing unit and only releases when opening the lid.
- control element can consist of a power switch that is only accessible when the hinged lid is open and is automatically switched to an off position when the hinged lid is closed.
- sealing of the ink print head can finally be achieved with the hinged cover closed via the actuatable actuating element.
- Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing is shown in two different operating states. Figures 1 and 2 show partly in longitudinal section for
- the printer has a flat box-like housing 1 with a laterally pivotably mounted on the housing 1
- Hinged lid 2 which forms the top of the housing 1 in the closed state as shown in Figure 1.
- the hinged lid 2 is part of a sheet supply cassette 4 used to hold single sheets 3 to be printed, the
- the pair of conveyor rollers 13 is arranged immediately below the printing position 14 of an ink printing unit 15 and is used to feed the individual sheet 3 to be printed past the ink printing unit 15 at a defined line feed speed, during which the single sheet 3 is printed by the ink printing unit 15 in the printing position 14.
- a sheet tray 16 is used, consisting of a plate 17 lying parallel on the hinged lid 2 of the lid inside 7, which in the opened state of the hinged lid 2 is approximately perpendicular to a fixedly arranged in the interior of the housing 1 Blade support edge 18 stands.
- one of the two deflection rollers 20 or 21 is driven, so that the
- Belt 22 with its gripping hook 23 detects the printed single sheet 3 at its lower sheet edge and transports it out of the printing position 14.
- the single sheet 3 is lifted over this deflection roller 20 and then falls onto the sheet support edge 18 of the sheet tray 16.
- the plate 17 forms together with the inside of the lid 7
- the length of the hinged cover 2 corresponds to a single sheet length, while, as is particularly shown in FIG. 2, the length of the hinged cover 2 is approximately less than the length of the single sheet by the amount of the length of the first cassette section 5, so that the printer
- Hinged lid 2 actuatable control element 24 in the form of a
- Mains switch via which the printer can be switched on and off manually at any time when the hinged cover 2 is open and is automatically switched off when the hinged cover 2 is closed.
- Switching of printer functions via an actuating element which can be actuated by the hinged cover 2 relates to the locking of movable printer parts or the sealing of the ink printing unit 15.

Abstract
On connaît les imprimantes comportant une cassette de stockage de feuilles et un dispositif de distribution de feuilles une à une, servant à stocker et à distribuer une par une les feuilles à imprimer, ainsi qu'un récepteur de feuilles qui reçoit les feuilles imprimées une à une. Pour rendre une imprimante de ce genre plus compacte, compte tenu de la place qu'occupe la cassette de stockage de feuilles, on a prévu une cassette de stockage de feuilles (2) consistant en deux sections de cassette (5 et 6) mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre, dont la première (5) est agencée à l'intérieur de l'imprimante, en face du dispositif de distribution de feuilles une à une (11), tandis que la seconde (6) est conçue comme un couvercle à charnière (2) fixé de manière pivotante sur l'imprimante et qui, lorsqu'il est fermé, constitue la face supérieure de l'imprimante et, lorsqu'il est ouvert, vient s'aligner avec la première section de cassette (5) et constitue avec cette dernière la cassette de stockage de feuilles (4).There are known printers comprising a sheet storage cassette and a sheet distribution device one by one, used to store and distribute one by one the sheets to be printed, as well as a sheet receiver which receives the printed sheets one by one. a. To make a printer of this kind more compact, taking into account the space occupied by the sheet storage cassette, a sheet storage cassette (2) is provided, consisting of two movable cassette sections (5 and 6). '' with respect to each other, the first (5) of which is arranged inside the printer, opposite the sheet dispensing device one by one (11), while the second (6) is designed as a hinged cover (2) pivotally attached to the printer and which, when closed, forms the top side of the printer and, when opened, aligns with the first section of cassette (5) and constitutes with the latter the sheet storage cassette (4).
