The base 6 is provided so that a stable sliding operation is possible by the structure held by the support portions 10 and 11 and the guide plates 9 and 18 in this way.

  In the state in which the stacker base 6 has advanced (the state shown in FIG. 3), a slight gap is formed between the rear end 6a of the stacker base 6 and the front end 9a of the guide plate 9, and the stacker base 6 in the advanced state. When a strong force is applied to the stacker 5 from above, the stacker base 6 is configured to drop from the support portions 10 and 11 before the stacker 5 is damaged.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a sensor 17 is provided on the back side of the support portions 10, 11 and the guide plate 9 as detection means for detecting the state of the stacker base 6 in and out. The sensor 17 has a pivotable lever 17a, and transmits on / off of a signal due to the pivoting operation of the lever 17a to a control section of the printer 1 (not shown). It is possible to detect the appearance state. In FIG. 6, a lever indicated by reference numeral 17a 'and a virtual line indicates a state where the lever 17a is rotated and the sensor 17 is turned on.

  As shown in the figure, the sensor 17 is attached to the side surface of the support portion 11 so that the lever 17a protrudes downward. Further, a rotating member 16 is provided at the bottom portion of the support portion 11 to support the paper of the stacker base portion 6.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the stacker base portion 6 is in the advanced state, the engaging end 16c is engaged with the lever 17a of the sensor 17 by the urging force of the urging means, whereby the sensor 17 is turned on and the stacker is turned on. The advancement state of the base 6 is detected. On the other hand, when the stacker base 6 is immersed, the stacker base 5 engages with the engaging end 16b of the rotating member 16, as shown in FIG. The engagement state between the end 16c and the lever 17a of the sensor 17 is released, the sensor 17 is turned off, and the immersion state of the stacker base 6 is detected. In the present embodiment, the immersion state of the stacker base 6 is detected in a state where the stacker base 6 is slightly stored.

  Next, the holding means for holding the advanced state of the stacker base 6 will be described in detail. In order to change the stacker 5 shown in FIG. 1 to the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2, the second drawer 8 is grasped and the second drawer 8 is pulled out to the front side of the printer 1, The stacker base 6 advances from the printer 1, the first drawer 7 advances from the stacker base 6, and the second drawer 8 advances from the first drawer 7. On the contrary, in order to change the stacker 5 shown in FIG. 2 from the unfolded state to the stowed state of the stacker 5 shown in FIG. 1, a force is applied to the second drawer 8 to place the second drawer 8 inside the printer 1. The second drawer 8 is accommodated in the first drawer 7, the first drawer 7 is accommodated in the stacker base 6, and the stacker base 6 is accommodated in the printer 1.

  Here, when the stacker 5 is changed from the expanded state to the stored state, if the storage order does not have a predetermined regularity, for example, the first drawer portion 7 and the second drawer portion 8 remain in the advanced state, and the stacker base portion 6 It may be immersive. In such a state, since the first drawer portion 7 and the second drawer portion 8 are in the advanced state, a force is easily applied from above, but the stacker base portion 6 is in an immersive state first, so the stacker base portion 6 Cannot be removed from the support portions 10 and 11 (as shown in FIG. 3, no gap is formed between the rear end portion 6a of the stacker base portion 6 and the front end portion 9a of the guide plate 9). There is also a risk of causing damage.

  Therefore, the storage order is given regularity, that is, even if the second drawer portion 8 is pushed in, the stacker base portion 6 does not become immersed first, and the second drawer portion 8 is accommodated in the first drawer portion 7. After the first drawer 7 is stored in the stacker base 6 or after the first drawer 7 is stored in the stacker base 6 and the second drawer 8 is stored in the first drawer 7, the stacker base A holding means for holding the advanced state of the stacker base 6 is provided so that 6 is stored in the printer 1 and is in an immersive state.

  This holding means comprises a lever 12 and a stopper 15 as shown in FIG. The lever 12 is provided in the stacker base 6 so as to be rotatable about an axis 6b parallel to the protruding and retracting direction of the stacker base 6, and is disposed so that the tip 12a hangs downward by its own weight. On the other hand, on the support member 14 provided at a position facing the bottom of the stacker base 6 on the main body of the printer 1, a stopper 15 having a shape protruding toward the lever 14 can be engaged with the tip 12 a of the lever 12. As a result, the lever 12 and the stopper 15 are engaged with each other as shown in FIG. 4A, and the advanced state of the stacker base 6 is maintained.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, the tip 7a of the first drawer 7 is formed on an inclined surface, and the lever 12 is disposed so as to be engageable with the tip 7a of the first drawer 7. Accordingly, when the first drawer portion 7 changes from the advanced state to the immersive state, the tip 7a pushes the lever 12 along with this, so that the lever 12 rotates and the engagement state between the lever 12 and the stopper 15 is released. . That is, the holding state of the stacker base 6 is released.

  As described above, the stacker 5 that can be pulled out in a multi-stage manner includes a holding unit that holds the advanced state of the stacker base 6 constituting the base end side from the printer 1. Even if the second drawer 8 is pushed in the unfolded state, the stacker base 6 is not immediately immersed, that is, the state in which the stacker base 6 can be removed from the printer 1 without being stored inside the printer 1 is maintained. When the first drawer 7 is stored in the stacker base 6, the holding state is released, and then the stacker base 6 is stored last, so that a strong force acts on the stacker 5. In this case, the stacker 5 can always be removed correctly without causing damage to the stacker 5.

  Further, since the holding means is configured to release the holding state of the stacker base 6 when the first drawer portion 7 is changed from the advanced state to the immersive state, the second drawer is released from the deployed state (FIG. 7). By pushing the portion 8, the second drawer portion 8 and the first drawer portion 7 are stored first (FIG. 8), and the first drawer portion 7 is in an immersive state and the holding state of the stacker base 6 is released, Further, the stacker 5 can be put into the stowed state by pushing the second drawer 8 (FIG. 9), and the holding state of the stacker base 6 can be easily released by a single operation of pushing the second drawer 8 as described above. In addition, the stacker 5 can be placed in the housed state.

In addition, since the printer 1 includes the sensor 17 as a detection unit that detects the state of the stacker base 6 in and out, appropriate control can be executed according to the state of the stacker base 6 in and out. For example, if the stacker base 6 is in an immersive state, the recording operation on the printing paper or the printing paper discharging operation is interrupted accordingly, so that the discharged printing paper falls on the floor surface or is jammed. Occurrence can be prevented.
Further, if the recording operation is not performed by detecting the immersion state of the stacker base 6 in this manner, the stacker 5 is unfolded to the extent that it can support the printing paper in relation to the size of the printing paper ( For example, even when the first drawer portion 7 and the second drawer portion 8 are in the advanced state and the stacker base portion 6 is housed in a certain amount, the stacker base portion 6 is housed to some extent. As a result, the immersion state of the stacker base 6 is detected, and the recording operation cannot be performed. However, since the advancing state of the stacker base 6 is held by the holding means that holds the advancing state of the stacker base 6, the unfolded state of the stacker 5 can be accurately detected by the sensor 17, and appropriate according to user needs Control can be performed.

  In FIG. 3, reference numeral 13 denotes a lever constituting the holding means. That is, in this embodiment, the lever and the stopper constituting the holding means are provided at a plurality of locations in the width direction of the stacker base 6 (in this embodiment, 2 When the stacker base 6 is held in the advanced state, the stacker base 6 is held straight without tilting.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the stacker base 5 that constitutes the most proximal side of the stacker 5 is configured to accommodate two drawer portions, that is, the first drawer portion 7 and the second drawer portion 8. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a larger number of drawers may be provided, or only the first drawer 7 may be provided. Further, the form of the holding means for holding the advanced state of the stacker base 6 is not limited to this embodiment, and any configuration may be used as long as the advanced state of the stacker base 6 can be held.

  Note that the holding means is configured to push the second drawer portion 8 constituting the most free end side toward the printer 1 in the unfolded state of the stacker 5 to place the stacker base 6 in the retracted state. It functions as a restricting means for restricting the storage order of the drawer portion 7 and the second drawer portion 8. That is, the stacker 5 can be switched from the unfolded state to the stored state in the intended order, whereby a stacker with excellent operability and safety can be obtained. As an example, in this embodiment, when the second drawer 8 is pushed toward the printer 1, the stacker base 6 is stored in the printer 1 last (in an immersive state). That is, the stacker base 6 is held in a state where it can be removed from the printer 1 without being housed in the printer 1, so that even when a strong external force is applied to the stacker 5, the stacker 5 is not damaged. Can be removed correctly. In the present embodiment, the stacker base portion 6 is configured to be stored at the end in this manner. However, the stacker base portion 6 is not limited to this, depending on the purpose. For example, the second drawer portion 8 or the first drawer portion 7 is one. It can also be configured to be stored at the end (become immersive).
