Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem wherein, an elongate printer having such a structure that rolled paper is supplied to a printing mechanism, and discharged after appropriate printing; and a horizontal cutting cutter to automatically cut the paper into a desired length after printing out, cuts the discharged paper into the desired length, while a printing width of the printer does not always accord with a width of paper to be used therefor when long print printing is made, which causes such incoveniences that, in the case of narrow width printing, paper must be replaced, or a plurality of rows are simultaneously printed on wide width paper and are vertically cut after printing, or such an irrational work that it takes several workers to cut so long a print. <P>SOLUTION: One or more cutters whose blades are directed in parallel with a paper feeding, are provided in a paper discharging section of the printer, and positioned and faced with a paper discharging surface, so that the paper is automatically cut by row at the time of discharging the paper. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a long printer, and more particularly to a printer provided with a cutter for vertically cutting paper to be printed out.

  The present invention relates to a long printer provided with a paper cutting cutter.

  The long printer has a structure in which roll-shaped paper is fed and printed as appropriate by the printing mechanism, and then discharged. After the paper is discharged, it is cut to the desired length. Some have a crossing cutter so that it can be automatically cut to a desired length. However, in the case of long printing, the printing width is not always constant, and in the case of narrow printing, it is necessary to replace the paper, or to print several rows at the same time on wide paper, and to cut again vertically after printing. There was inconvenience such as.

  Advertisements and billboards using inkjet printing have become common regardless of whether they are outdoors or indoors. The apparatus is also large and the maximum printing surface width is about 1,800 mm. The printing speed is also increasing year by year and labor saving. Printing also ranges from single items to multiple sheets. The roll paper is automatically cut at the end of printing when data is entered. However, when there was a large amount of printed matter, printing was performed by assigning two rows and three rows to the print width, and after printing, the wound roll paper was unrolled and vertically cut. If the length of the vertical cut is short, one person can work, but if the length is long, two people are required to cut using a ruler as a gauge.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  The present invention has been made to solve the inconvenience of the conventional long printing described above.

Means for solving the problem

  According to the present invention, one or a plurality of cutters having a blade edge parallel to the paper feed are provided in the paper discharge portion of the printer, and the cutters are lined up by positioning and facing the paper discharge surface. .

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. (1) is a long printer with a cutter according to the present invention. This long printer with a cutter (1) is provided with a printing mechanism (4) on the upper part of the legs (2) and (3) on both sides, and the legs (2). The intermediate portion of (3) is provided with a winding mechanism (5) for winding the discharged paper after printing. The paper discharge port (6) of the print mechanism (4) is provided with a cutter mechanism (8) via a horizontal support shaft (7) perpendicular to the paper feeding direction.

Next, the cutter mechanism (8) will be described with reference to FIGS.
The cutter mechanism portion (8) penetrates the horizontal shaft (7) at the intermediate portion of the horizontal support shaft (7) provided on the discharge port (6) side of the print mechanism portion (4) of the main body (1). A holder (10) that is movably fitted through the hole (9), and a tightening screw (11) that faces the horizontal support shaft (7) from the side of the through hole (9) of the holder (10) The clamping piece (13) is loosened by a clamping screw (12) at the lower part of the holder (10), and the blade surface of the cutter (14) (by the clamping piece (13) and the clamping screw (12) ( 15) is fixed in the direction in which the paper (16) is fed. In addition, (17) is a groove provided on the paper discharge tray (18) along the horizontal support shaft (7), and the blade surface (15) of the cutter (14) faces the lower part of the paper (16). It is provided so that In this embodiment, one cutter mechanism (8) is provided, but when it is necessary to cut into a plurality of rows, a plurality of cutter mechanisms (8) are attached according to the number of rows to be cut.

Operation of the invention

  In using the long printer (1) of the present invention configured as described above, the clamping screw (11) of the cutter mechanism (8) is loosened and moved to an appropriate position on the horizontal support shaft (7). Tighten the fastening screw (11) to fix it.

  Next, the blade of the cutter (14) is fastened and fixed with a tightening screw (12). At this time, the blade (15) of the cutter (14) is made to face the groove (17) so as to be below the moving surface of the paper (16).

  When the cutting position is determined in this way and printing is started, the printed paper (16) is automatically cut vertically at a predetermined position by the cutter (14) as the paper is fed.

The invention's effect

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the printed paper (16) that is printed out by automatically fixing the cutter (14) at a predetermined position of the horizontal support shaft (7) is automatically displayed on the spot. As in the prior art, there is no need to unwind and cut the paper that has been rolled up after printing, and the vertical cutting work for long printing is drastically improved.

These are the perspective views of the whole long printer with a cutter of this invention. These are side views of the cutter mechanism part of FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of FIG. 2.
