DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stopper mechanism for restricting the amount of pulling of a slider which can be pulled out of a housing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a financial automation apparatus is provided with a slider which can be pulled out of a housing, and a control unit and a power supply unit are mounted on the slider as a unit. A stopper mechanism is provided between the housing and the slider to limit the amount of slider withdrawal. When performing maintenance and inspection of the control unit and power supply unit, pull out the slider and attach the protrusion provided on the slider side to the housing side. The slider is brought into contact with the stopper to limit the amount of withdrawal of the slider.

[0003]

In the case of a conventional housing structure, when a unit behind the slider, for example, a power supply unit is maintained, the stopper is removed from the housing and the slider is pulled out without the stopper. However, there is a risk that the slider may come off the housing, in which case the unit is broken.

An object of the present invention is to provide a stopper mechanism which does not come off the housing even when the slider is pulled out.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in a stopper mechanism according to the present invention, a plurality of projections are provided on a slider at predetermined intervals in a pulling-out direction, and the slider is brought into contact with the projections. A stopper having a portion, which can be fixed to a position where the contact portion contacts one of the protrusions, is attached to the housing.

A notch 17 is provided at one end of the base plate 14. As shown in FIG. 7, a fixing portion 18 for fixing the second slider 13 is provided below the notch 17 so as to face the second slider 13. -It is provided integrally with the plate 14.

The second slider 13 comprises a fixing member 19 having a C-shaped cross section and a sliding member 20 slidable with respect to the C-shaped space of the fixing member 19.
4, the journal printer 6 is fixed to the sliding member 20 and can be pulled out in the direction of arrow D from the state of being stored in the cutout 17.

An L-shaped contact member 22 having a second projection 21 is fixed to the fixing portion 18 of the base plate 14.

From the bottom of the base plate 14, the sliding member 1
5 is equal to the distance G from the bottom surface of the base plate 14 to the end surface of the fixing portion 18.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the stopper at the time of maintenance and inspection, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the stopper at the time of replacing the journal paper. The stopper 8 is usually provided with the elongated hole 1 as shown in FIG.
The lower end of the “0” is fixed to the housing 3 by abutting on the screw 9. At this time, the second protrusion 21 can come into contact with the contact portion 11 of the stopper 8.

[0015] The maintenance unit is operated by the control unit 4 and the power supply unit 5
When performing maintenance and inspection of the screw, the screw 9 is loosened and the stopper 8 is dropped by its own weight, and the upper end of the elongated hole 10 is brought into contact with the screw 9 as shown in FIG. When the slider 7 is pulled out in this state, as shown in FIG. 3, the first projection 16 comes into contact with the contact portion 11 of the stopper 8 at a position where the control unit 4 and the power supply unit 5 can be maintained and inspected, and the slider 7 is stopped. Let it.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. Normally, as shown in FIG.
Is fixed to the housing 3 by contacting the lower end of the screw 9 with the screw 9.
When the paper is exchanged by the journal printer 6, the rear door 2 of the financial automation apparatus 1 is opened, and the journal printer 6 is pulled out in the direction of arrow D as shown in FIG. At this time, the second protrusion 21 abuts on the abutting portion 11 of the stopper 8 and the slider 7 is stopped, and the sliding member 20 to which the journal printer 6 is fixed is moved along the fixing member 19. Slide.

[0017] The maintenance unit has a control unit 4 and a power supply unit 5
When performing maintenance and inspection of the screw, the screw 9 is loosened and the stopper 8 is dropped by its own weight, and the upper end of the elongated hole 10 is brought into contact with the screw 9 as shown in FIG. When the slider 7 is pulled out in the direction of arrow D, as shown in FIG. 3, the contact portion 11 of the stopper 8 is located at a position where the control unit 4 and the power supply unit 5 can be maintained and inspected.
The first projection 16 abuts on the slider 7 to stop the slider 7.

[0018]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. The slider is provided with a plurality of protrusions at predetermined intervals in the pull-out direction, has a contact portion for contacting the protrusion, and a stopper which can be fixed at a position where the contact portion contacts any of the protrusions. Attached to the housing eliminates the possibility that the slider will come off the housing even when the slider is pulled out.

The stopper has a long hole as a fixing portion, and a mounting position corresponding to a projection position in a state where the slider is most pulled out is at an end of the long hole, so that the stopper does not have to be removed from the housing. Even if the slider is pulled out, it does not come off the housing.
