Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a frame structure for use in an image recording apparatus configured to perform image recording on a recording sheet being fed on a sheet feed path, as well as an image recording apparatus incorporating the same.
  • FIG. 1(A) shows a facsimile apparatus 200A having a sheet tray 201A fixed thereto.
  • the sheet tray 201A is configured to be capable of stably holding recording sheets of a maximum size which can be used by the facsimile apparatus 200A.
  • FIG. 1(B) shows a facsimile apparatus 200B on which a sheet tray 201B is removably placed.
  • the sheet tray 201B is configured to be capable of stably holding recording sheets of a maximum size which can be used by the facsimile apparatus 200B.
  • the image recording apparatus can be fed with recording sheets stably.
  • one conventional facsimile apparatus has appeared having a sheet tray which functions as a sheet rest when in an open position and as a cover covering a top portion of the main body of the apparatus when in a closed position (see patent document 1 for example).
  • the facsimile apparatus is rendered compact when not in use because the sheet tray fails to project exteriorly of the main body of the apparatus when the apparatus is not in use.
  • a compact sheet tray tends to have a low ability to stably hold recording sheets. For this reason, users who record images with a high frequency or who have many occasions to make a large number of records of images at a time, prefer a facsimile apparatus having a relatively large sheet tray as shown in FIG. 1(A) or 1(B) .
  • An object of the present invention is to provide: a frame structure which is suitable for the purpose of rendering image recording apparatus compact as well as for placement of a relatively large sheet tray thereon; and an image recording apparatus incorporating the same.
  • a frame structure according to the present invention is a frame structure for use in an image recording apparatus configured to perform image recording on a recording sheet being fed on a sheet feed path.
  • image recording apparatus include a facsimile apparatus and an ink-jet printer.
  • the frame structure includes a first frame portion and a first support portion.
  • the first frame portion defines a first space for fittingly receiving therein a portion of a sheet feed cassette containing recording sheets.
  • the expression "fittingly receiving”, as used herein, means a condition in which the sheet feed cassette received in the first space fails to rattle.
  • the first frame portion has to be designed so that the first space has a sectional size which is not far larger than the sectional size of the sheet feed cassette.
  • the first space is configured to extend continuously with a sheet feed path and open upwardly. This configuration allows the sheet feed cassette to be inserted into the first space from above and enables each recording sheet to be fed from the sheet feed cassette thus inserted to the sheet feed path.
  • the first support portion is configured to support a cover member for pivotal movement for optionally closing the first space.
  • a cover member is a top cover for covering the first space when the apparatus is not in use.
  • the first support portion is connected to the first frame portion.
  • the expression "be connected to”, as used herein, is meant to include a case where the first support portion is connected directly to the first frame portion and a case where the first support portion is connected indirectly to the first frame portion via a separate member.
  • the first support portion is configured not to project into the first space. Therefore, the provision of the first support portion will not prevent the sheet feed cassette from being fitted into the first space.
  • the first support portion fails to hinder the sheet feed cassette from being fitted into the first space, while the first space fails to hinder the cover member from being mounted on the first support portion. For this reason, a desired one of the sheet feed cassette and the cover member can be used as fitted on the frame structure. As a result, there is no need to design and manufacture a frame structure suitable for the purpose of rendering image recording apparatus compact and a frame structure suitable for placement of a relatively large sheet tray thereon, separately.
  • the first support portion comprises a bearing hole formed in the first frame portion which acts to engage the sheet feed cassette fitted in the first space.
  • the present invention makes it possible to realize a frame structure which is suitable for the purpose of rendering image recording apparatus compact as well as for placement of a relatively large sheet tray thereon.
  • FIGs. 2(A) and 2(B) are each a perspective view showing a facsimile apparatus 1 as an embodiment of an image recording apparatus according to the present invention.

  • the cover member 30 optionally covers a rear side of the frame structure 10 which is not covered with the exterior member 61.
  • the cover member 30 is pivotally movable about the first support portion 31 serving as a fulcrum between a first position in which the cover member 30 covers the rear side of the frame structure 10 (see FIG. 3 ) and a second position in which the first space 12 is exposed (see FIG. 4 ).
  • the first support portion 31 is formed with a shaft portion, while the cover member 30 formed with recesses serving as bearings.
  • the cover member 30 is formed with a shaft portion while the first support portion 31 formed with recesses serving as bearings.
  • the first space 12, sheet ejection exit 53 and document insertion opening 42 are arranged in this order from the rear side toward the front side.
  • the cover member 30 is configured to cover at least the first space 12.
  • the cover member 30 is capable of covering the first space 12 and the sheet ejection exit 53. More preferably, the cover member 30 is capable of covering all of the first space 12, sheet ejection exit 53 and document insertion opening 42.
  • the cover member 30 is configured to cover all of the first space 12, sheet ejection exit 53 and document insertion opening 42.
  • the cover member 30 has an outside surface formed so as to become contiguous with an outside surface of the exterior member 61 when the cover member 30 assumes the first position.
  • the cover member 30 and the partition plate 70 are configured to operate in a geared manner.
  • the partition plate 70 is pivotally movable about a pivot shaft forming the second support portion 71 between a closed position in which the partition plate 70 covers the sheet ejection exit 53 and a use position in which the partition plate 70 functions as a partition member. In the closed position, the partition plate 70 is accommodated within the frame structure 10.
  • FIG. 5 is a view schematically showing the link member 80.
  • the link member 80 includes a pivot portion 81 pivotally supported on the partition plate 70, and a slot 82 extending longitudinally. On the side opposite away from the pivot portion 81, the slot 82 is formed with a dent 83. A projecting portion 33 projecting from the cover member 30 is inserted into the slot 82 for sliding movement.
  • the partition plate 70 is positioned under the cover member 30 and accommodated within the frame structure 10. As the cover member 30 pivots toward the second position, the cover member 30 exerts a force on the partition plate 70 via the link member 80 to move the partition plate 70 into the use position, as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the cover member 30 and the partition plate 70 assume the second position and the use position, respectively, the projecting portion 33 of the cover member 30 becomes fitted into the dent 83 of the link member 80, so that the cover member 30 and the partition plate 70 are kept apart from each other by predetermined spacing.
