By cutting along the line, a separating portion 19b corresponding to the separating area is formed. To separate. The auxiliary line 19a is printed at the same time as, for example, the name of a device, a care mark, etc., which are usually applied to a packing box.

  For example, after the printer 50 (FIG. 4) is housed in a predetermined state, the printer packing box 10 is folded inward (towards the side) as shown in FIG. The front outer flap 16 and the rear outer flap 17 which are designed to meet at the approximate center in the width direction when further closed are closed so that they abut each other, and as shown in FIG. The printer 50 is packed by adhering and fixing the abutting portion 17 with the packing tape 25. At this time, the surface closed by the outer flaps 16 and 17 is referred to as a top surface 22.

  Here, the bottom surface 21 is also vertically symmetrical with the left and right inner flaps 18 and 19 and the front and rear outer flaps 16 and 17, respectively, and similarly closed, for example, as with the top surface 22. It is assumed that it is formed by a flap (not shown) that is bonded and fixed.

  FIG. 3 shows the printer packaging box 10 after, for example, unpacking and taking out the internal printer 50 and separating the separation portion 19b of the right inner flap 19.

  In the normal use of the printer 50, for example, in order to prepare the auxiliary member 30 to be mounted on the removed printer 50, as shown in FIG. 3, the printed cut-out is performed from the right inner flap 19 of the printer packaging box 10. A rectangular plate-shaped separation portion 19 b is cut along the auxiliary line 19 a to form an auxiliary member 30. Hereinafter, the separation portion 19b is referred to as the auxiliary member 30.

  FIG. 4A is an external perspective view of the rear side of the printer 50 on which the auxiliary member 30 is mounted as viewed from the upper right rear, and FIG. 4B is a dotted circle encircled portion 60 of FIG. FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the AA cross section in FIG. In FIG. 4B, the auxiliary member 30 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, on the back side of the printer 50, there is a recess 55 that leads to a paper discharge portion 56 that discharges printed paper in the backward direction (arrow B direction in FIG. 5). A pair of upper protrusions 52L and 52R and a pair of lower protrusions 51L and 51R are formed on the left and right inner side surfaces of 55, which are symmetrically formed. However, in FIGS. 4 and 5, only the upper protrusion 52L and the lower protrusion 51L are shown. In the following description, only the configuration and the operation may be described for simplicity. However, the upper protrusion 52R and the lower protrusion 51R are similarly described. It is constructed and works.

  These upper protrusions 52L and lower protrusions 51L serve as holding members for mounting the auxiliary member 30 on the main body of the printer 50.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the plate-like auxiliary member 30 faces the concave portion 55 on the back side of the printer 50, and both short sides 30 a and 30 b face the left and right inner side surfaces of the concave portion 55. It is mounted in an inclined state so that the long side 30c on the upstream side is downward. At this time, the long side 30c of the auxiliary member 30 abuts on an inclined surface 54a of the lower chassis 54 of the recess 55 that is inclined downward from the bottom of the paper discharge portion 56 toward the downstream side in the paper discharge direction. It is mounted so that the upper surface close to the inclined surface 54a of one short side 30b contacts the lower projection 51L, and the lower surface closer to the center of the shorter side than this contact portion contacts the upper projection 52L.

  Accordingly, the contact portion between the lower surface of the auxiliary member 30 and the upper protrusion 52L is set closer to the long side 30c than the center of gravity in the short side direction of the auxiliary member 30, so that each contact portion is connected to the auxiliary member 30. Due to its own weight, it is in a pressure contact state and a stable wearing state is maintained.

  Although not described here, the contact relationship between the other short side 30a of the auxiliary member 30 and the upper protrusion 52R and the lower protrusion 51R (not shown) is also the same as the one short side 30b, the upper protrusion 52L, and the lower protrusion 51L. This is the same as the contact relationship.

  Accordingly, the pair of upper protrusions 52L and 52R and the pair of lower protrusions 51L and 51R are provided at locations that do not affect the paper route range and the surrounding movable parts in the printer 50, and the protrusion amounts are also set as appropriate. .

  Next, the dimension of each part for restricting the amount of protrusion appropriately will be described.
