DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stand adjuster for performing horizontal adjustment, height adjustment, fixing and the like when installing a device such as a copying machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In installing a copying machine or the like, a stand adjuster is provided on a bottom plate of the copying machine for adjusting the horizontality for preventing a quality defect and for fixing the equipment. Some are attached to each of the four corners.

[0003] Such a stand adjuster is composed of a bolt screw portion and a ground receiving plate portion, and these are integrated. In addition, since the dimensions of the floor and the floor of the device differ depending on the model, several types of stand adjusters having different bolt screw lengths are required, and different stand adjusters are generally used for each model.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a general copying machine having a stand adjuster on a bottom surface, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the stand adjuster of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a stand adjuster attached to the apparatus shown in FIG. It is an enlarged side view which shows the adjustment state of. This type of stand adjuster 1 is provided at four corners of the bottom plate of the copying machine main body 2.

As shown in the figure, the stand adjuster 1
A bolt screw part 3 which is a metal part such as iron and a disk-shaped grounding receiving plate part 4 which is a metal part such as iron or a resin molded product are integrated. When the distance between the bottom plate and the floor surface 5 is different, a bolt with a different screw length of the bolt screw portion 3 is selected. Of course, the adjustment can be made by changing the size of screwing the screw portion 3a of the bolt screw portion 3 into the copying machine body 2. However, if the screw portion 3a is short, the adjustment width becomes small, and the screw portion 3a may come off from the bottom surface of the copying machine body 2. If the screw 3a is too long, the wrench 7 or the like is hung on the bolt 8 of the bolt screw 3 when the copying machine body 2 is moved using the wheel 6, and the screw 3a is screwed. Since it is housed in the main body 2, the screw portion 3a that has entered the inside of the copier main body 2 hits other parts, causing a problem.

For example, the distance t between the bottom plate of the copying machine main body 2 and the floor surface 5 is about 4 to 8 cm, and there is a difference depending on the equipment. For the above-mentioned reason, a plurality of types of stand adjusters are adjusted according to the distance t for each equipment. Is required.

However, producing a plurality of types of stand adjusters and owning them as fixtures leads to an increase in cost for the manufacturer, and from the viewpoint of sharing components as much as possible, the above-described method is used. The development of a new stand adjuster that can solve the problem has been desired.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a stand adjuster for an apparatus, comprising:
In a stand adjuster for performing height adjustment, fixing, and the like, the stand adjuster includes a grounding support plate and a bolt screw for attachment to the device. The grounding support plate and the bolt screw are detachable. The receiving plate can be attached to the bolt screw by inverting the bolt screw, and the grounding receiving plate has a ground portion on each of the front and back surfaces, and the mounting height of the bolt screw of the ground portion is made different. It is characterized by.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, the grounding support plate has an annular portion and a flat portion inside the annular portion. When the one surface is directed downward, the top of the convex shape serves as the ground contact portion, and when the one surface is directed upward, at least the outer peripheral edge or the inner peripheral edge of the annular portion is the above-mentioned. It is characterized as a grounding part.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following, portions common to the conventional example will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the stand adjuster of the device according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing two states of use. In the stand adjuster 10 of the present embodiment, the bolt screw 11 and the grounding support plate 12 are formed separately, and the bolt screw 11 grounds the round convex portion 11c at the lower end of the screw portion 11b projecting from the bolt portion 11a. It is used by being screwed or inserted into a round hole 13 formed at the center of the receiving plate 12 and assembled.

The ground receiving plate 12 is formed by drawing a metal plate such as iron by drawing or the like (of course, a non-metal member such as resin may be used if it has sufficient rigidity), as shown in FIG. As seen from the front side, there is an annular portion 14 which is groove-like when viewed from the back side, and a convex portion when seen from the back side.
Is formed, and has a disk-like shape as a whole as in the conventional case.

The grounding receiving plate 12 is designed so that a grounding portion with the floor surface 5 is formed regardless of which surface is on the upper side.
That is, if the annular portion 14 is placed on the floor surface 5 so as to look like a groove (the state on the left side in FIG. 5), the top of the annular portion 14 is grounded, and conversely, the annular portion 14 is placed so as to appear convex. BA (Fig. 5
Right side), the outer peripheral edge 14a of the annular portion 14 and the inner peripheral edge 1
4b is grounded.

The flat portion 15 is formed so as to be retracted from the inner peripheral edge 14b of the annular portion 14 regardless of which way the flat portion 15 is placed.
The round protrusion 11a at the lower end of the bolt screw 11 is screwed into the hole 13 by utilizing this dimensional difference.
There is no problem even if you jump out of.

As described above, the grounding support plate 12 can be mounted by being inverted with respect to the bolt screw 11, and the position of the flat portion 15 can be changed from the floor surface 5 to the grounding support plate 12 in the state on the left side of FIG. 5 and is almost in contact with the floor 5 in the state shown on the right side of FIG.
It appears as a difference d in the mounting height of 1. This difference d becomes the adjustment width, and one stand adjuster 10 can be used in two ways. Of course, bolt screw 1
Fine adjustment can also be performed by changing the amount of screwing of the one screw portion 11b into the copying machine main body 2, so that the above two types do not mean that adjustment can be performed only in two steps.

In the state shown on the right side of FIG. 5, only the outer peripheral edge 14a, the inner peripheral edge 14b, or the flat portion 15 of the annular portion 14 may be grounded, or two of these portions may be grounded. You may comprise so that it may be grounded simultaneously.
However, when the flat portion 15 is configured to be grounded, it is necessary to have a structure that can be combined so that the round convex portion 11a at the lower end of the bolt screw 11 does not ground to the floor surface 5.

[0016]

As described above, the stand adjuster for a device according to the present invention comprises, as described above, a stand adjuster comprising a grounding support plate and a bolt screw for attachment to the device, and a grounding support plate and a bolt screw. Is detachable, the grounding support plate can be installed by inverting it with respect to the bolt screw, and the grounding support plate has grounding portions on both front and back sides, and the mounting height of the bolt screw of the grounding portion is increased. Since the grounding plate is inverted and attached to the bolt screw, the height of the grounding surface can be changed.
Since the width of adjustment of the installation height of the equipment is widened, the number of types can be reduced even when the equipment is compatible with various equipments, and there is an effect that common parts can be achieved and cost can be reduced.
