2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the processing speed of continuous forms has been increased. For example, in a printing operation using a non-impact printer, high-speed printing of 10,000 lines or more per minute is possible. It is progressing further. However, in order to take advantage of the reduction in processing time, the length of continuous forms must be sufficiently longer than before.
If this is short, the continuous form must be frequently re-set at a predetermined position, resulting in poor work efficiency. More specifically, a continuous report with a depth of 11 inches
The print processing time when stacked at a height of 0 cm is 12, 3
Although it takes about a minute, the time required for resetting this takes a few minutes, and the resetting time in the entire printing work time is about 20%.

Although it is possible to lengthen one continuous unit of a continuous form, it is difficult to fold the extended continuous form and stack it in a high position in a predetermined position in a desired state without bending. Therefore, there has been a demand for the development of a continuous form installation member that enables this. In the past, as a solution to this demand, a Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-7456 has already been proposed.
A long form storage box described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1 has been proposed.

[0004]

However, the long form storage box described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 61-74561 is constructed in a state where the four sides are completely closed. There is a drawback that the resistance in the case of continuous withdrawal at high speed for supply is large, and the withdrawal operation cannot be performed easily and smoothly. The present invention aims to eliminate this drawback.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a continuous form storage box of the present invention comprises a square bottom plate,
It consists of a plurality of side plates surrounding the four sides provided on this bottom plate,
The one for the bottom housing piled up a continuous business form in the folded state on the board, there is supply to the appropriate processing unit is pulled out the top end of the housing and continuous form from the opened upper surface, housing
Small side plates located has been folded portion perpendicular direction of the continuous business form
At least one vent window that can be opened and closed is provided.

[0006]

[Function] The ventilation window is closed when not in use to prevent the stored continuous form from getting wet, while the ventilation window is opened when in use and air is introduced into the continuous form storage box from the side. Accordingly, the resistance can be reduced when the upper end of the stored continuous form is continuously pulled out from the open upper surface and supplied to an appropriate processing device such as a non-impact printer.
