  The pressing mechanism 220 is a right side pressing member 221 that presses the right side of the box 201, a left side pressing member 222 that presses the left side of the box 201, a bolt body 223, and the bolt body 223 either forward or reverse. And a rotation driving unit 224 that rotates in the direction.

  The right side pressing member 221 is in contact with the right side recess 201a of the box 201, and has a contact part 221a having a shape (spherical part or conical shape) that conforms to the shape of the right side recess 201a, and a nut that engages with the bolt body 223. It has the part 221c and the rod-shaped part 221b which connects the contact part 221a and the nut part 221c. Similarly, the left side pressing member 222 is in contact with the left side recess 201b of the box 201 and is in contact with the bolt part 223 and the contact part 222a having a shape (spherical part or conical shape) familiar with the shape of the left side recess 201b. A nut portion 222c to be joined, and a rod-like portion 222b for connecting the contact portion 222a and the nut portion 222c are provided.

  The bolt body 223 is attached so as not to move in the left-right direction. The bolt body 223 includes a bolt portion 223 a that engages with the nut portion 221 c of the right side pressing member 221 and a bolt portion 223 b that engages with the nut portion 222 c of the left side pressing member 222. When the bolt body 223 rotates in the same direction, the two nut portions 221c and 222c (that is, the right side pressing member 221 and the left side pressing member 222) move in the opposite directions. It is cut like so.

  The printing roll paper storage box 200 is placed in a state where the distance between the right side pressing member 221 and the left side pressing member 222 is equal to or greater than the distance between the right side and left side of the box 201, and then rotationally driven. The part 224 manually or automatically rotates the bolt body 223 by a predetermined amount in a direction in which the right side pressing member 221 and the left side pressing member 222 approach each other.

  Thereby, the right side pressing member 221 and the left side pressing member 222 move toward the right side and the left side of the box 201, respectively, and move slightly after contacting to press the right side and the left side.

  As a result, the right side recess 201a reliably contacts the right end edge of the core member 202, and the left side recess 201b securely contacts the left end edge of the core member 202. When the roll paper 203 is pulled out from the printing roll paper storage box 200 in such a state, the core member 202 rotates using the right side concave portion 201a and the left side concave portion 201b as shaft members, and the rotation becomes smooth.

  When the roll paper 203 is pulled out from the printing roll paper storage box 200 without pressing the right side surface and the left side surface of the box body 201 (this is also a modification of the second embodiment), the tensile force As a result, the engagement between the right side recess 201a of the box 201 and the right end edge of the core member 202 or the engagement between the left side recess 201b of the box 201 and the left end edge of the core member 202 may be broken. .

  According to the second embodiment, the concave portions 201a that engage with the right and left edges of the cylindrical core member 202 around which the roll paper 203 is wound are provided on the right and left sides of the printing roll paper storage box 200. And 201b are provided, and the two engaging portions are provided with a rotating shaft function, so that the rotating shaft can be realized with a simple configuration. The structure of the rotating shaft in the box described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above is very complicated as compared with that in the second embodiment.

  Here, since the pressing mechanism 220 that presses the right side surface and the left side surface of the printing roll paper storage box 200 inward is provided in the label forming apparatus, the right side concave portion 201a, the left side concave portion 201b, and the right side of the core member 202 are provided. And the engagement with the left edge is more reliable, and stable rotation can be realized.

  Since the box body 201 of the printing roll paper storage box 200 is made of paper, the recesses 201a and 201b for realizing the rotating shaft function can be easily formed, and the pressing force is applied by the elastic force of the paper. The deformation due to the pressing force of the mechanism 220 can be easily accepted.

  Although the rotating shaft function is realized as described above, even if the rotating shaft configuration is provided, the sealing property of the printing roll paper storage box 200 is ensured, and the dust comes out from the printing roll paper storage box 200. Can be prevented.

  According to the second embodiment, since the right side pressing member 221 and the left side pressing member 222 move linearly, the length in the longitudinal direction is different (in other words, the width of the roll paper is different). It can correspond to a printing roll paper storage box.

  Further, according to the second embodiment, the position of the roll paper 203 in the label producing apparatus can be positioned at a predetermined position with a simple configuration. Incidentally, conventionally, various arrangements have been required for relative positioning of a printing roll (for example, roll paper).

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a modification of the label producing apparatus according to the second embodiment. In this modification, the label producing apparatus is provided with a side wall 230 that contacts the left side surface of the printing roll paper storage box 200. Further, the right side pressing member 240 that presses the right side of the box 201 does not move forward and backward linearly but rotates, and moves between the pressing position and the non-pressing position by rotation. Is. If the right side pressing member 240 is not only pivotable but also linearly movable, the length in the longitudinal direction is different (in other words, the width of the roll paper is different), and a plurality of types of printing roll paper are used. It can correspond to a storage box.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 7, there is one pressing structure, and the structure of the label producing apparatus can be simplified.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating another modification of the label producing apparatus according to the second embodiment. In this modification, the right side pressing member 250 and the left side pressing member 251 are each planted on the mounting surface part 210 and cannot move. When the printing roll paper storage box 200 is mounted from above, the right side pressing member 250 and the left side pressing member 251 are appropriately opened outwardly in contact with the right and left sides of the printing roll paper storage box 200. Accept. Further, the right side pressing member 250 and the left side pressing member 251 are in contact with the right side and the left side of the printing roll paper storage box 200 even when the printing roll paper storage box 200 is lifted upward from the mounted state. It opens to the outside as appropriate to enable it to be removed.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 8, the right side surface and the left side surface of the printing roll paper storage box 200 are pressed inward by the right side surface pressing member 250 and the left side surface pressing member 251 that are only planted on the placement surface portion 210. In addition, the right side pressing member 250 and the left side pressing member 251 do not interfere with the loading and unloading of the printing roll paper storage box 200.

  In the second embodiment, it has been described that the box 201 is formed of paper, but it may be formed of other materials. Even in this case, the rotation axis function can be realized with a simple configuration.

  The right and left edges of the core member 202 may also be chamfered so as to conform to the shapes of the right side recess 201a and the left side recess 201b. In this way, smoother rotation can be realized.

  In the second embodiment, the box 201 has the right side recess 201a and the left side recess 201b. However, the right side and the left side in the state where there is no pressing force of the right side pressing member 250 and the left side pressing member 251. The surface may be a flat surface, and concave portions may be formed on the right side surface and the left side surface by the pressing of the right side surface pressing member 250 and the left side surface pressing member 251 so as to exhibit the rotation axis function. In this case, the printing roll paper storage box 200 can be easily manufactured. For example, when the modification shown in FIG. 8 is used in combination, stable engagement between the edge of the core member 202 and the recess can be realized.

  The present invention should not be construed as being bound by the second embodiment. The technical ideas in the second embodiment and its modifications are summarized as follows.

  (Technical Thought b-1) A printing roll storage box mounted on a label producing apparatus, in which a printing roll wound in a cylindrical shape is stored in a box, and the shaft of the center hole of the printing roll The first side surface of the box body that intersects the direction is provided with a first recess facing inward of the storage box that engages with the first side surface edge of the center hole, and the first side surface of the box body A second recess facing inward of the storage box that engages with an edge of the center hole on the second side face, and the printing roll includes the first recess and the first recess. A roll storage box for printing, which is engaged with each of the two recesses.

  According to the technical idea b-1, it is possible to provide a rotary shaft function to the printing roll storage box and position the printing roll with a simple configuration of the first and second recesses.

  (Technical Thought b-2) In the printing roll storage box according to Technical Thought b-1, the printing roll storage box is characterized in that the box is formed of paper.

  Thereby, the 1st and 2nd crevice can be formed easily.

  (Technical Thought b-3) A label producing apparatus to which the printing roll storage box of the technical idea b-1 or b-2 is mounted, and the first and second of the mounted printing roll paper storage box. A label producing apparatus comprising: a pressing member that presses at least one of the recesses toward the edge of the core member.

  As a result, the engagement between the concave portion of the box and the longitudinal edge of the printing roll can be stabilized, the printing roll can be stably rotated, and the printing roll can be positioned. it can.

  (Technical Thought b-4) A label producing apparatus main body, and a printing roll paper containing box mounted on the label producing apparatus main body, in which a printing roll wound in a cylindrical shape is accommodated in a box, The printing roll storage box includes two side surfaces in contact with the longitudinal edges of the printing roll, and at least one of the side surfaces can be deformed by a pressing member of the label producing apparatus body, A label producing apparatus, wherein the relative position of the roll paper in the label producing apparatus main body is regulated by being pressed toward an edge of the printing roll by a pressing member.

  According to the technical idea b-4, while applying a printing roll storage box having a simple configuration, a rotary shaft function can be imparted to the printing roll storage box and the printing roll can be positioned. .

(C) Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the printing roll storage box and the label producing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The printing roll storage box of the third embodiment is a printing roll paper storage box that stores printing roll paper.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing a mounted state in the label producing apparatus for the print roll paper storage box according to the third embodiment.

  In FIG. 9, a printing roll paper storage box 301 and an ink ribbon cartridge 302 are also attached to the label producing apparatus 300 according to the third embodiment.

  After the roll paper 310 with plain release paper wound around the core member 311 is drawn out from the print roll paper storage box 301 and passed through the gap between the print head 303 and the platen roller 304 by a transport mechanism (not shown). The label producing apparatus 300 is fed out from a discharge slit 305 formed on one side surface, and the configuration as described above is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  The printing roll paper storage box 301 includes a rectangular parallelepiped box 312, and the roll paper 310 wound around the core member 311 is stored in the box 312. In the case of the third embodiment, the core member 311 may be omitted. The box body 312 has a drawer port 313 for pulling out the roll paper 310 to the outside. The configuration shown in the first embodiment can also be applied as the configuration around the drawer port 313. The drawer port 313 is provided on the front surface 312a of the box 312 below the bottom surface 312b.

  When the label producing apparatus 300 is installed on a plane such as the upper surface of a desk, the bottom surface 312b of the box 312 is not parallel to the plane on which the label producing apparatus 300 is installed, and the outlet 313 side is low. The box 312 (that is, the printing roll paper storage box 301) is mounted on the label producing apparatus 300 so as to have an inclination of At this time, the front surface 312a perpendicular to the bottom surface 312b is also inclined without being perpendicular to the plane on which the label producing apparatus 300 is installed. In other words, in a state where the box 312 is mounted on the label producing apparatus 300, the corners connecting the front surface 312a and the bottom surface 312b are at the bottom.

  Since the box 312 is attached to the label producing apparatus 300 in an inclined manner, the roll paper 310 wound around the core member 311 is positioned so as to contact the front surface 312a and the bottom surface 312b by its own weight. Since the position of the roll paper 310 is stable in the box 312, the travel of pulling out the roll paper 310 is also stable.

  Unlike the third embodiment, if the box 312 is mounted so that the bottom surface 312b of the box 312 is parallel to the plane on which the label producing apparatus 300 is installed, the core member 311 is attached. The roll paper 310 wound around is in contact with the bottom surface 312b, but the contact position is not uniquely determined, and the position becomes unstable. Therefore, when the roll paper 310 is drawn out, the roll paper 310 wound around the core member 311 moves in the left-right direction in FIG. 9, and the roll paper 310 is not stably run. The higher the running speed of the roll paper 310, the lower the print quality. The techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 also correspond to a technique in which the bottom surface 312b of the box 312 is parallel to the plane on which the label producing apparatus 300 is installed.

  The configuration for tilting and mounting the box 312 (that is, the printing roll paper storage box 301) on the label producing apparatus 300 may be arbitrary. For example, the mounting surface on which the printing roll paper storage box 301 is placed or the surface in contact with a part of the front surface 312a may be tilted to achieve the tilt mounting of the box 312. In addition, for example, the box 312 may be mounted in an inclined manner by arranging a plurality of support bars extending in parallel with the axis of the core member 311.

  According to the third embodiment, the printing roll paper storage box 301 is attached to the label producing apparatus 300 while being tilted and wound around the core member 311 by forming V-shaped grooves on the front surface 312a and the bottom surface 312b. Since the position of the rolled paper 310 is regulated, the position of the rolled paper 310 wound around the core member 311 is stabilized in the box body 312, and the traveling of the rolled paper 310 is also stabilized.

  In addition, according to the third embodiment, since the drawer port 313 is provided below the front surface 312a, it passes through the drawer port 313 by selecting the position where the drawer port 313 is provided and the inclination angle at the time of mounting. The deflection angle of the front and rear roll paper 310 can be reduced (for example, 30 degrees or less), and the resistance at the time of drawing can be reduced. Since the friction at the drawer port 313 is reduced, generation of dust can be suppressed. Here, since the start position of rewinding the roll paper 310 in the wound state is the tip side of the V-shaped groove, the drawer port 313 is provided below the front surface 312a.

  Furthermore, according to the third embodiment, since the front surface 312a having the drawer port 313 is used for forming the V-shaped groove, the unwinding position of the roll paper 310 in the wound state, the drawer port 313, Thus, even when the roll paper 310 in a wound state is rotating inside the box body 312, the drawer can be smoothly executed.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a modified example of the print roll paper storage box and the label producing apparatus according to the third embodiment. In this modification, the angle formed between the front surface 312a having the drawer opening 313 and the bottom surface 312b is made smaller than 90 degrees, and the front surface 312a is mounted so as to be perpendicular to the plane on which the label producing apparatus 300 is installed. Also, a V-shaped groove for regulating the position of the roll paper 310 wound around the core member 311 can be formed. Since the front surface 312a can be mounted vertically, it can be expected that the mounting operation is easier to execute than in the third embodiment.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating another modified example of the printing roll paper storage box and the label producing apparatus according to the third embodiment. In this modification, a V-shaped groove that regulates the position of the rolled roll paper 310 is formed on the back surface 312c and the bottom surface 312b. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the outlet 313 may be provided on the upper surface 312d, and although not shown, may be provided above the front surface 312a. In other words, the outlet 313 does not have to be provided on either of the two surfaces on which the V-shaped groove is formed.

  As can be understood from this modification, the surface on which the V-shaped groove is formed is not limited to the surface having the extraction port 313, and as a result, the degree of freedom in design is large.

  The present invention should not be construed as being bound by the third embodiment. The technical ideas in the third embodiment and its modifications are summarized as follows.

  (Technical Thought c-1) A label producing apparatus to which a printing roll storage box in which a printing roll is stored in a box is mounted, wherein the box includes at least two adjacent surfaces, and the box A label producing apparatus comprising a mounting portion on which the box is mounted so as to form a V-shaped groove that opens upward in the direction of gravity on the two surfaces.

A label producing apparatus to which a printing roll paper storage box in which plain roll paper with release paper is stored in a box is mounted, wherein the box is formed so as to form V-shaped grooves on two surfaces of the box A label producing apparatus comprising a mounting portion for mounting a body.

  As a result, the V-shaped groove regulates the position of the rolled paper roll, so that the position of the rolled paper roll is stabilized in the box, and the running of the roll paper is also stabilized. In addition, since the configuration (two sides) of the box is used as it is for positioning of the printing roll, the positioning configuration can be made unnecessary.

  (Technical Thought c-2) In the label producing apparatus according to Technical Thought c-1, one of the two surfaces on which the V-shaped groove is formed is a drawer port through which the roll paper is drawn out of the box. A label producing apparatus comprising:

  The start position of unwinding of the rolled paper roll whose position is regulated by the V-shaped groove and the pull-out opening are shortened, and the rolled paper roll is rotating inside the box. Also, the drawer can be executed smoothly.

  (Technical Thought c-3) In the label producing apparatus according to the technical idea c-2, the leading end of the V-shaped groove at the start position of rewinding the roll paper in a wound state is provided, and the outlet port is set to V A label producing apparatus, which is provided below one surface on which a letter-shaped groove is formed.

  Thereby, the deflection angle of the roll paper before and after passing through the drawer port can be reduced, and the resistance at the time of withdrawal can be reduced.

  (Technical Thought c-4) In the label producing apparatus according to any one of the technical thoughts c-1 to c-3, the angle formed by the two surfaces forming the V-shaped groove is 90 degrees, and the box A label producing device characterized in that a V-shaped groove is formed by tilting and mounting.

  A rectangular parallelepiped shape that is easy to manufacture can be applied as the shape of the box in the printing roll paper storage box.

  (Technical Thought c-5) In the label producing apparatus according to any one of the technical thoughts c-1 to c-3, an angle formed by two surfaces forming the V-shaped groove is an acute angle. Label making device.

  Even when the box is mounted so that one of the two surfaces is perpendicular to the plane on which the label producing apparatus is placed, a V-shaped groove can be formed.

  (Technical Thought c-6) A printing roll paper storage box mounted on a label producing apparatus, in which a printing roll is stored in a box, wherein the box includes at least two adjacent surfaces, An angle formed by two surfaces is an acute angle, and the label producing apparatus includes a mounting portion for mounting the box body so that the two surfaces constitute a V-shaped groove that opens upward in the direction of gravity. A printing roll storage box, wherein the relative position of the printing roll in the label producing apparatus is regulated by the V-shaped groove.

  Even when the box is mounted so that one of the two surfaces is perpendicular to the plane on which the label producing apparatus is placed, a V-shaped groove can be formed. In addition, since the configuration (two sides) of the box is used as it is for positioning of the printing roll, the positioning configuration can be made unnecessary.

(D) Fourth Embodiment Next, a fourth embodiment of the printing roll storage box according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The printing roll storage box of the fourth embodiment is a printing roll paper storage box that stores printing roll paper.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic perspective view showing an appearance of a print roll paper storage box according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 12A shows the appearance of a printing roll paper storage box in an unused state (for example, a commercially available state), and FIG. 12B shows the state of the roll paper from the printing roll paper storage box in an unused state. The situation where the tip is pulled out is shown. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing roll paper and the like stored in a printing roll paper storage box in an unused state.

  In FIG. 12, a printing roll paper storage box 400 in an unused state includes a box body 401 having a rectangular parallelepiped outline, and the box body 401 has a drawer port 403 for pulling out the stored roll paper 402 to the outside. Is provided. FIG. 12B shows a drawer port 403 that is a long and thin rectangular hole. However, the shape of the drawer port 403 is not limited, for example, two sheets as shown in the first embodiment. It may be a drawer opening formed by overlapping plain papers.

  The unused printing roll paper storage box 400 is provided with a closing member 404 that closes the drawer port 403. The closing member 404 has a rectangular shape that is slightly larger than the rectangular shape of the extraction port 403, and a weak adhesive film is applied to almost the entire surface or a peripheral portion on the surface side closing the extraction port 403. The film is weakly adhered to the surface of the box 401. The weak adhesive film is not applied to the back surface of one end (the left end in FIGS. 12 and 13) outside the end of the outlet port 403 in the longitudinal direction of the closing member 404, and it becomes a stagnation that begins to peel off. From here, the closing member 404 can be peeled off. On the surface of the portion where the weak adhesive film is not applied on the back surface, a mark 404a such as an arrow indicating the direction of peeling is described.

  The edge on the leading end side of the unused roll paper 402 is not formed by cutting in the width direction, but is cut at an angle in the width direction, and is the side that is finally peeled off by the closing member 404 (The right side in FIGS. 12 and 13) is closer to the outlet 403 side.

  The back surface of the end of the closing member 404 that is finally peeled off and the tip end portion of the roll paper 402 that is closest to the drawing port 403 side are connected by a ribbon-like connecting member 405. The connection between the end back surface of the closing member 404 that is finally peeled off and the connecting member 405 and the connection between the leading end portion of the roll paper 402 that is closest to the outlet 403 side and the connecting member 405 The connection is strong enough not to fail with the tensile force at the time of peeling.

  In the state shown in FIG. 12A in which the closing member 404 closes the outlet 403, when the user pulls with one end of the closing member 404 to which the weak adhesive film is not applied, the closing member 404 is , It gradually peels from the end side toward the opposite end side. When the closing member 404 is completely peeled off, the connecting member 405 connected to the closing member 404 gradually comes out from the outlet 403. Along with this, the leading edge of the roll paper 402 connected to the connecting member 405 also gradually moves outward, and when the leading edge of the roll paper 402 is pulled out from the drawer port 403, the user stops pulling, and the closing member 404 Or the connecting member 405 is separated from the roll paper 402 so that the roll paper 402 can be used for printing.

  According to the fourth embodiment, when the printing roll paper storage box 400 is not in use, the drawer port 403 is closed by the closing member 404, so that dust can enter inside during storage or transportation. This can prevent anything.

  Further, according to the fourth embodiment, a state in which the leading end of the roll paper 402 protrudes to the outside from the drawer port 403 can be created by performing the operation of peeling the closing member 404. In other words, there is no need to perform an operation in which the box 401 is provided with an opening / closing lid in advance and the user opens the lid and passes the leading end of the roll paper 402 through the drawer port 403.

  Furthermore, according to the fourth embodiment, the amount of waste can be reduced as much as possible by shifting from the unused state to the usable state.

  The technology described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 is a technology in which roll-shaped roll paper is purchased and accommodated in a box, and is unrelated to what is commercially available in a state in which roll paper is accommodated in the box. .

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing a modified example of the printing roll paper storage box of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 14 (A) shows the appearance of the storage box, and FIG. 14 (B) shows the storage box. The roll paper accommodated is shown.

  In this modified example, the closing member 404 also functions as the connecting member 405 and has an isosceles triangle shape (in addition, if the closing member 404 can be covered, it has another shape). May be). Further, the leading end side of the roll paper 402 has an isosceles triangle shape (it may have other shapes). In this modification, the leading end portion of the isosceles triangular roll paper 402 is pulled out from the outlet 403 even when it is not used, and the closing member 404 not only closes the outlet 403 but also pulls it out. The leading end portion of the roll paper 402 drawn out from the opening 403 is pressed against the surface of the box body 401 and held. The apex position of the isosceles triangle in the connecting member 405 is provided with a stagnation part at the beginning of peeling, which is not provided with a weak adhesive film, and a mark 404a indicating the peeling direction is also provided here. Yes.

  Also according to this modification, it is possible to prevent intrusion of garbage in an unused state. Moreover, the simplicity of operation at the time of transition from the unused state to the usable state can be achieved. In this modification, it is unnecessary to pull out the leading end portion of the roll paper to the outside of the box when the blocking member is peeled off. Moreover, according to this modification, since the center part of the closing member is pulled when peeling, it is possible to prevent the roll paper from being twisted left and right when peeling.

  The technical idea of the fourth embodiment can be applied in combination with the technical idea of any of the first to third embodiments (however, the combination may not be possible at the example level).

  The present invention should not be construed as being bound by the fourth embodiment. The technical ideas in the fourth embodiment and its modifications are organized as follows.

  (Technical Thought d-1) A printing roll storage box that is mounted on a label producing apparatus, in which a printing roll is stored in a box, and the box is made of a belt-like material rewound from the printing roll. In the unused state of the printing roll storage box, the printing roll storage box has a closing member that closes the drawing opening, a leading end portion of the belt-like object, and a connecting member that connects the closing member. In the state, the closing member is bonded to the main body of the printing roll housing box, and the connecting member absorbs the force accompanying the peeling when the closing member is peeled off from the printing roll housing box main body, A roll storage box for printing, characterized in that it is substantially not transmitted to the belt-like material.

  Thereby, it is possible to prevent dust from entering the inside of the box in an unused state. Moreover, it can be made to transfer to the usable state by which the strip | belt-shaped object is pulled out from the drawer port by simple operation of peeling a closure member in an unused state.

  Conventionally, the leading edge of the roll paper is attached to the cartridge with a tape. For this reason, when the tape is removed, there are the following problems. First, if the roll paper does not have a reverse prevention tension, the roll paper may return into the cartridge, and a mechanism for applying tension to the roll paper is essential. Secondly, in the case of wide roll paper, there is a problem that the force to peel off the tape is transmitted and the roll paper is cut. According to the technical idea d-1, such a problem can be solved.

  (Technical Thought d-2) In the printing roll storage box of the technical idea d-1, in a unused state, the leading end portion of the band-like object is located inside the box, and the connecting member is a box. A printing roll storage box, wherein a front end portion of the band-like material inside is connected to the closing member.

  Thereby, it is also possible to suppress the amount of the closing member and the connecting member as much as possible.

  (Technical Thought d-3) In the printing roll storage box of the technical idea d-1, the leading end portion of the belt-like object protrudes to the outside of the box body in an unused state, and the connecting member is closed.

  The printing roll paper storage box applied to the label producing apparatus is frequently replaced according to the color of the label background or the width of the label desired by the user at the time of production. For example, in the case of roll paper applied to a word processor or the like, once attached to the apparatus main body, it will not be detached from the apparatus main body until it is used up, but it can be used for label printing apparatuses. The box can be detached from the apparatus main body even if it is not used. The printing roll paper storage box that has been detached from the apparatus main body in a state in which it has not been used has a roll paper portion that is exposed to the outside through the drawer opening. If the box that contains roll paper does not have an opening / closing mechanism, and the roll paper part that has been exposed to the outside through the drawer port accidentally enters the box, the printed roll paper storage box can be reused. Can not. In addition, when an opening / closing mechanism is provided in a box that accommodates roll paper, the print roll paper accommodation box becomes complicated and expensive.

  The printing roll paper storage box 500 according to the fifth embodiment is made in view of the above points.

  In FIG. 15, a printing roll paper storage box 500 includes a rectangular box-shaped box 501 made of paper, for example, and a roll paper 503 wound around a core member 502 is stored in the box 501. Yes. In the case of the fifth embodiment, the core member 502 may not be provided. The box body 501 has a drawer port 504 for pulling out the roll paper 503 to the outside. Note that the configuration shown in the first embodiment can be applied as the configuration around the drawer opening 504. Hereinafter, the surface of the box body 501 provided with the drawer opening 504 is referred to as “front surface”.

  The box body 501 is provided with a rotatable planar paper cover holder 505 that covers the front surface of the box body 501 and sandwiches the roll paper 503. The holder 505 is provided with a rotation shaft portion at a corner portion connecting the front surface and the bottom surface of the box body 501, and the front end side of the holder 505 is bent, and is inserted into a slit 506 to be described later. It has become. A slit 506 that receives the insertion portion of the holder 505 described above is provided in the upper part of the front surface of the box body 501.

  The printing roll paper storage box 500 is mounted on a label producing apparatus (not shown) with the holder 505 opened, and printing processing is performed on the roll paper 503 drawn from the drawer port 504 (see FIG. 1). After printing is completed, a label is created by cutting the portion of the roll paper 503 on which printing has been performed. After the cutting process, the portion of the roll paper 503 from the drawer opening 504 to the cutting mechanism is outside the box body 501.

  In such a state, even if the mounted printing roll paper storage box 500 is removed for replacement of the storage box, the portion of the roll paper 503 from the drawer port 504 to the cutting mechanism remains in the box body 501. Outside. When the lid-like holder 505 is closed in this state, the portion of the roll paper 503 that is outside the box body 501 is sandwiched and held by the lid-like holder 505 and the front surface of the box body 501.

  In the removed printed roll paper storage box 500, if the length of the portion of the roll paper 503 outside the box body 501 cannot be covered with the lid-shaped holder 505, it is manually put out to the outside. The lid-shaped holder 505 may be closed after the portion of the roll paper 503 that has been pushed into the box body 501 is reduced. Or unlike FIG. 15, it is good also as a thing of the length which the lid-shaped holder 505 coat | covers a front surface and an upper surface (Furthermore, a back surface and a bottom face may be included).

  According to the fifth embodiment, the portion of the roll paper 503 that is outside the box body 501 is held by the lid-like holder 505 and the front surface of the box body in the printing roll paper storage box 500 removed from the label producing apparatus. Since it was made to do, it can prevent that the front-end | tip of the roll paper 503 enters the inside of the box 501 in a storage state or a conveyance state.

  Incidentally, since the conventional tape cartridge becomes unusable when the tape returns, a dedicated configuration is required to prevent the return. In the fifth embodiment, a lid that prevents dust from entering the print roll paper storage box is used as a reverse prevention mechanism, and a dedicated reverse prevention mechanism is not required.

  Further, according to the fifth embodiment, when the external portion of the roll paper 503 is held, the printing surface is in contact with the front surface of the box body 501, so that dust in the air adheres to the printing surface. This can be prevented.

  Furthermore, according to the fifth embodiment, even when the printing roll paper storage box 500 is not in use before being sold, a part of the roll paper 503 is taken out from the outlet 504 and pressed by the holder 505. It can also be left.

  In the fifth embodiment, the rotation axis of the lid-shaped holder 505 is shown at the lower part of the front surface. However, the rotation axis of the lid-shaped holder 505 may be positioned at the upper side of the front surface. . In this case, the drawer port 504 can be used in combination as a slit for receiving the insertion portion at the tip of the holder 505. That is, the useless slit 506 in view of the printing function can be omitted.

  In the fifth embodiment, the holder 505 is fixed to the box body 501. However, the holder 505 may be detachable from the box body 501. For example, each of the opposite end portions of the holder 505 is bent to form two insertion portions, while slits for receiving the insertion portions may be provided at two locations of the box body 501.

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a modification of the printing roll paper storage box of the fifth embodiment.

  Instead of providing slits 510 and 511 on the front surface of the box body 501 to form the belt portion 512 for holding the roll paper 503, a holding belt separate from the box body 501 is attached to the box body 501. Anyway. Such a holding belt is preferably made of an elastic material because the holding force increases. In addition, since there is no slit, the sealing performance of the box body 501 is enhanced. Such a holding belt may be fixed to the box body 501, or at least one end of the holding belt may be detachable from the box body 501 by a fastener such as a snap. .

  As another method of holding the roll paper 503 in a band shape, a method of providing a belt-like weak adhesive film on the front surface of the box body 501 can be mentioned, and this belt-like weak adhesive film holds the roll paper 503. Functions as 505. In the unused state such as at the time of shipment, the belt-like weak adhesive film may be covered with release paper, or the tip of the roll paper is attached to the belt-like weak adhesive film. Also good. Applying a band-shaped weak adhesive film is an easy process. The weak pressure-sensitive adhesive film to be attached may have a shape other than the band shape.

  The material of the box body 501 is not limited to the paper described above, and the material of other members may be arbitrarily selected.

  In addition, a configuration may be provided in which the lid portion of the mounted print roll paper storage box is pressed against the print roll paper storage box side on the label producing apparatus side. In this case, even when the printing roll paper storage box is taken out, the pressing by the lid can be sufficient. Further, it is possible to prevent the printing roll paper from entering the box by mistake in a state where the printing roll paper storage box is mounted (however, the printing operation is not executed).

(F) Sixth Embodiment Next, a sixth embodiment of the print roll paper storage box according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The printing roll storage box of the sixth embodiment is a printing roll paper storage box that stores printing roll paper.

  FIG. 18 is a schematic perspective view showing an appearance of a print roll paper storage box according to the sixth embodiment.

  As described above, the printing roll paper storage box applied to the label producing apparatus is frequently replaced according to the color of the label background and the width of the label desired by the user at the time of production. For this reason, many users have a plurality of print roll paper storage boxes that have not been used yet, such as the color of the label background and the width of the label. A print roll paper storage box made in consideration of the convenience of storage for the user is the sixth embodiment.

  In FIG. 18, a printing roll paper storage box 600 includes a rectangular box-shaped paper box 601 in which a plain roll paper 602 with release paper wound around the box 601 is stored. . One side of the box body 601 has a drawer port 603 for pulling out the roll paper 602 to the outside. Note that the configuration shown in the first embodiment can be applied as the configuration around the outlet 603. Hereinafter, the surface of the box body 601 provided with the drawer opening 603 will be referred to as a “front surface”.

  The front surface of the box body 601 has a rising portion (hereinafter referred to as a rising portion) 601a extending higher than the upper surface, and similarly, the rear surface of the box body 601 is rising higher than the upper surface. A portion 601b is included. The front rising portion 601a is made of the same sheet of paper as the front surface, and the rear rising portion 601b is also made of the same sheet of paper as the back surface.

  The rising portions 601a and 601b may be attached to the box 601. In this case, the upper portion of the box 601 can be used for organizing the printing roll paper storage box as necessary. .

  When storing a plurality of printing roll paper storage boxes 600, a method of stacking them is preferable because the occupied area can be reduced. FIG. 19 is a schematic perspective view illustrating an example of a state in which two printing roll paper storage boxes 600 according to the sixth embodiment are stacked.

  The lower printing roll paper storage box 600-1 and the upper printing roll paper storage box 600-2 are stacked in the left-right direction. When stacking the upper printing roll paper storage box 600-2, the front rising portion 601a-1 and the rear rising portion 601b-1 of the lower printing roll paper storage box 600-1 are allowed to escape outward (somewhat Open) and stack. Since the front rising portion 601a-1 and the back rising portion 601b-1 are made of paper, such escape can be realized. Since the base portions of the front rising portion 601a-1 and the rear rising portion 601b-1 are in contact with the upper surface, they cannot escape and move the upper print roll paper storage box 600-2 downward. The front rising portion 601a-1 and the rear rising portion 601b-1 guide the front and back surfaces of the upper printing roll paper storage box 600-2, and when stacking is completed, the lower printing roll paper storage box 600-1 The upper and lower printing roll paper storage boxes 600-2 are aligned in the front-rear direction.

  In consideration of the ease of stacking, the length in the front-rear direction of the upper surface of the printing roll paper storage box 600 is slightly longer than the length in the front-rear direction of the bottom surface of the printing roll paper storage box 600, so The angle formed (in other words, the angle formed between the rising portion 601a and the bottom surface) is an obtuse angle slightly larger than the right angle, and the angle formed between the back surface and the bottom surface (in other words, the angle formed between the rising portion 601b and the bottom surface). The obtuse angle slightly larger than the right angle may be set so that the two raised portions 601a and 601b are slightly opened even when no external force is applied.

  According to the sixth embodiment, since the rising portions 601a and 601b protruding from the upper surface are provided on the front surface and the back surface of the printing roll paper storage box 600, when a plurality of printing roll paper storage boxes 600 are stacked. , At least the positions in the front-rear direction can be aligned, and the stacked state can be stabilized.

  Here, in consideration of the stability in the case of stacking, it is effective to provide rising portions on the front surface and the back surface that are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the box body 601 among the four side surfaces as in the sixth embodiment. is there.

  The material of the box 601 is arbitrary, but as described above, when the paper material is applied, the front and back raised portions 601a and 601b can be easily formed.

  Furthermore, since the drawer opening 603 is provided below the front surface, when the printing roll paper storage box 600 is mounted on the label producing apparatus, the upper space of the printing roll paper storage box 600 is a space that does not participate in the printing process. In many cases, the rising portions 601a and 601b do not adversely affect the printing process.

  In the above embodiment, the rising portion 601a of the lower printing roll paper storage box 600-1 closes the drawer 603 of the upper printing roll paper storage box 600-2, so the upper printing roll paper storage box 600-2. It is possible to prevent the dust from entering the interior of the.

  In the above, the case where the rising portions 601a and 601b extend over the entire region in the longitudinal direction of the box body 601 has been shown. However, the length of the rising portions 601a and 601b is longer than the length of the box body 601 in the longitudinal direction. It can be shortened. It is possible to reduce the material that is divided into the rising portions 601a and 601b. In addition, a plurality of rising portions having a short length may be provided on the front surface, and a plurality of rising portions having a short length may be provided on the back surface. In this way, stable stacking can be realized while suppressing the amount of material that is broken into the rising portions 601a and 601b.

  Furthermore, in addition to the front surface and the back surface, the right and left surfaces of the box body 601 may be provided with rising portions for restricting the position during stacking. In this case, the positions in the left-right direction can be aligned when stacked. In addition, it is preferable that the four rising portions are separated because stacking can be facilitated. Further, the height of the rising portions on the right side surface and the left side surface may be made higher than the heights of the rising portions on the front surface and the back surface so as to earn an area that functions for position regulation.

  Furthermore, it may have a folding hinge (for example, the thickness thereof is reduced) so that rising portions such as the front surface and the back surface can be bent toward the upper surface side. If it does in this way, it can be made the state which does not protrude the starting part except at the time of stacking.

  The technical idea of the sixth embodiment can be applied in combination with the technical idea of any one of the first to fifth embodiments (however, the combination may not be possible at the example level).

  The present invention is not construed as being bound by the sixth embodiment. The technical ideas of the sixth embodiment and its modifications are summarized as follows.

  (Technical Thought f-1) A printing roll storage box that is mounted on a label producing apparatus, in which a printing roll is stored in a box, and at least one pair of side surfaces facing each other among the four side surfaces of the box Each of these is provided with a rising portion from the side thereof, and a printing roll storage box.

  As a result, when the printing roll storage boxes are stacked, the opposed rising portions of the lower printing roll storage boxes sandwich the lower portion of the upper printing roll storage boxes, so that the upper and lower printing roll storage boxes are arranged in a predetermined direction. The positions can be aligned and the stack can be stabilized.

  (Technical Thought f-2) In the printing roll storage box of the technical idea f-1, a rising portion is provided on at least a side surface parallel to the longitudinal direction of the box body among the four side surfaces of the box body. A printing roll storage box.

  Since the box length in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is short, stacking is not stable if there is a misalignment in that direction during stacking, but according to the technical idea f-2, such misalignment is prevented. be able to.

  (Technical Thought f-3) A printing roll storage box according to the technical idea f-1 or f-2, wherein the box is made of a paper material.

  Thereby, a starting part can be formed easily.

  FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a print roll paper storage box according to the seventh embodiment. FIG. 20A shows an external appearance (schematic perspective view) of the package before opening, and FIG. 20B shows a longitudinal section in the short direction. FIG. 21 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the printing roll paper storage box in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction when it is mounted on the label producing apparatus after opening the package.

  A printing roll paper storage box 700 according to the seventh embodiment is a packaging box at the time of shipment from a manufacturer, which is used for mounting on a label producing apparatus as it is.

  The printing roll paper storage box 700 has a rectangular parallelepiped box 701 made of corrugated cardboard or cardboard before opening the package. The box 701 is provided with two cut lines 702 parallel to the vertical direction. A part of the portion sandwiched between the two cut lines 702 is provided with a stagnation (not shown) that crawls when starting to pull. Hereinafter, the box part above the upper cut line is referred to as an upper box part 702U, and the box part below the lower cut line is referred to as a lower box part 702L.

  In the packaged state, the rolled plain paper 703 with release paper is contained in a box 701 in a state of being put in a bag 704 made of black vinyl or the like. Inside the box body 701 are provided four space determining auxiliary papers 705 made of corrugated cardboard or cardboard that make the internal space an octagonal prism that is closer to a cylindrical shape. Further, as will be described later, the roll paper 703 pulled out from the lower box body portion 702L attached to the label producing apparatus is less than the release paper of the roll paper 703 so as to reduce the friction received by the edge of the lower box body portion 702L A friction reducing film 706 made of a familiar material is provided. Further, on each inner side of the two side surfaces orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the lower box body portion 702L, a position regulating member 707 made of, for example, cardboard, which regulates the position when the upper box body portion 702U is covered. Is provided.
