Description

Beschreibungdescription
Papierausgabe von DruckerpapierPaper output from printer paper
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Papierausgabe von Druckerpapier über eine Gehäuseklappe eines Druckers, wobei die Gehäuseklappe mit einem Scharnier um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist .The invention relates to a paper output of printer paper via a housing flap of a printer, the housing flap being rotatably mounted about an axis with a hinge.
Bei Druckern, insbesondere bei Druckern für Bürorechenmaschinen, Registrierkassen, Tachomaten oder ähnlichen Kleindruckern, erfolgt die Papierausgabe häufig über eine Gehäuseklappe, über die auch der Papiervorrat des Druckers befüllt wird. Dabei erfolgt die Papierausgabe über eine mehr oder minder aufwendige Mechanik in einem bestimmten Winkel zu dem Gehäuse. Bei einem Öffnen des Deckels erfolgt ein Stopp des Druckvorgangs und damit auch der Papierausgabe . Erfolgt kein Stopp der Papierausgabe, besteht die Gefahr eines Papierstaus .In the case of printers, in particular in the case of printers for office calculators, cash registers, tachomats or similar small printers, the paper is often output via a housing flap, via which the paper supply of the printer is also filled. The paper is output via a more or less complex mechanism at a certain angle to the housing. When the cover is opened, the printing process and thus the paper output are stopped. If the paper is not stopped, there is a risk of a paper jam.
Um dies zu vermeiden, wird der verlängerte Papierweg beim Öffnen des Deckels dadurch angepaßt, daß in entsprechender Menge Druckerpapier aus dem Papiervorrat, z. B. einer Rolle, entnommen wird. Eine mehr oder minder komplexe Mechanik be- wirkt dabei zusätzlich, daß das Papier während des gesamten Vorgangs straff gehalten wird. Beim Zurückklappen und Schließen des Deckels bewirkt die Mechanik ein geordnetes Zurückfahren des aus dem Papiervorrat herausgelösten Papiers und verhindert damit einen Papierstau bei Wiedereinsetzen des Pa- pierausgabebetriebs .To avoid this, the extended paper path is adjusted when opening the lid in that printer paper from the paper supply, for. B. a role is removed. A more or less complex mechanism also means that the paper is kept taut throughout the process. When the lid is folded back and closed, the mechanism causes the paper released from the paper supply to move back in an orderly manner and thus prevents a paper jam when the paper dispensing operation is restarted.
Die oben angesprochene Mechanik ist komplex und fehleranfällig und führt zu hohen Produktionskosten.The mechanics mentioned above are complex and prone to errors and lead to high production costs.
Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Papierausgabe vorzusehen, die bei geringeren Produktionskosten eine höhere Be- triebssicherheit und einen unterbrechungsfreien Betrieb bei allen Betriebszuständen sicher gewährleistet.It is the object of the invention to provide a paper output which, with lower production costs, has a higher loading safe operation and uninterrupted operation guaranteed in all operating conditions.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß eine Papierausgabe von Druckerpapier über eine Gehäuseklappe eines Druckers erfolgt, wobei die Gehäuseklappe mit einem Scharnier um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist, in zumindest einem Mittelteil des Scharniers zumindest auf einer Breite, die einer Papierbreite entspricht, eine Druckpapierdurchführung aufweist.This object is achieved in that a paper output of printer paper takes place via a housing flap of a printer, the housing flap being rotatably mounted about an axis with a hinge and having a printing paper leadthrough in at least a middle part of the hinge at least over a width which corresponds to a paper width ,
Mit den oben genannten Maßnahmen ist die Druckpapierdurchführung für das Papier direkt in den Drehpunkt der Gehäuseklappe gelegt. Ungeachtet der Stellung der Gehäuseklappe, ob diese geöffnet oder geschlossen ist, kann somit ungehindert und oh- ne die Gefahr eines Papierstaus und auch ohne die Verwendung einer mehr oder minder komplizierten Mechanik stets über die Papierdurchführung Papier ausgegeben werden. In einer erweiterten Ausfuhrungsform ist zudem der Winkel der Papierdurchführung stets frei und stufenlos veränderbar.With the above measures, the printing paper feed-through for the paper is placed directly in the pivot point of the housing flap. Regardless of the position of the housing flap, whether it is open or closed, paper can thus always be dispensed unhindered and without the risk of paper jams and without the use of more or less complicated mechanics. In an expanded embodiment, the angle of the paper feedthrough is also always freely and infinitely variable.
Für die erfindungsgemäße Papierausgabe ist es von untergeordneter Bedeutung, in welcher Form der Papiervorrat des Druckers im Drucker untergebracht ist. Es bieten sich hier an, den Papiervorrat rollenförmig im Drucker aufzubewahren, womit ein reibungsloser Endlosdruck problemlos realisierbar ist.For the paper output according to the invention it is of secondary importance in what form the paper supply of the printer is accommodated in the printer. It is advisable to store the paper supply in roll form in the printer, so that smooth, continuous printing can be easily achieved.
Alternativ sind auch andere Formen des Papiervorrats einsetzbar. Beispielhaft sind Einzelblattstapel oder Endlosblattstapel genannt .Alternatively, other forms of paper supply can also be used. Single sheet stacks or endless sheet stacks are mentioned as examples.
In einer weiteren Ausfuhrungsform ist die Papierdurchführung als Teil eines Druckers für Tachographen verwendbar, da besonders diese Drucker den starken Vibrationen und Temperaturschwankungen insbesondere in Nutzfahrzeugen ausgesetzt sind. Aus diesem Grunde ist die Einfachheit der erfindungsgemäßen Papierausgabe besonders für diesen Druckertyp und Anwendungsbereich vorteilhaft. Im Folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbei- spiels und einer Figur näher beschrieben.In a further embodiment, the paper feedthrough can be used as part of a printer for tachographs, since these printers in particular are exposed to the strong vibrations and temperature fluctuations, particularly in commercial vehicles. For this reason, the simplicity of the paper output according to the invention is particularly advantageous for this type of printer and field of application. The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment and a figure.
Die Figur zeigt eine Gehäuseklappe.The figure shows a housing flap.
Die in der Figur dargestellte Gehäuseklappe ist für den Erfindungsgedanken von untergeordneter Bedeutung und könnte auch jede andere von der vorliegenden Darstellung abweichende Form aufweisen. Entscheidend ist die Anbringung einer Papier- durchführung 6 in ein Mittelteil 5 eines Scharniers 3. Damit ist unabhängig von der Lage der Gehäuseklappe 2 eine Papierausgabe möglich. Die Gehäuseklappe 2 ist drehbar um eine Achse 4 über das Scharnier 3 gelagert. Erkennbar ist, daß für die Papierdurchführung 6, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Posi- tion der Gehäuseklappe 2, keine weitere Mechanik erforderlich ist .The housing flap shown in the figure is of minor importance for the concept of the invention and could also have any other shape that deviates from the present illustration. The decisive factor is the attachment of a paper feed-through 6 into a middle part 5 of a hinge 3. This enables paper to be dispensed regardless of the position of the housing flap 2. The housing flap 2 is rotatably supported about an axis 4 via the hinge 3. It can be seen that no additional mechanics are required for the paper feedthrough 6, in particular with regard to the position of the housing flap 2.
Die Lage der Papierdurchführung auf dem Mittelteil 5 ist jedem spezifischen Anwendungsfall anpassbar, und nicht auf eine Ebene mit der Achse begrenzt. Ebenso ist die Form der Papierdurchführung, ob diese zum Beipiel gekrümmt oder gerade ve- räuft, von dem jeweiligen Anwendungsfall abhängig.The position of the paper feedthrough on the middle part 5 can be adapted to any specific application and is not limited to one plane with the axis. Likewise, the shape of the paper feed-through, whether curved or straight, for example, depends on the particular application.
Der Erfindungsgedanke lässt sich nicht ausschließlich nur auf das hier gezeigte Beispiel eines Tachographendruckers, sondern ebenso für alle anderen Formen und Größen von Druckern, anwenden . The inventive idea can be applied not only to the example of a tachograph printer shown here, but also to all other shapes and sizes of printers.
