BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a desk for OA equipment on which a printer such as a computer is mounted.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, office equipment such as office computers and word processors have been increasingly OA. In offices, these OA devices are placed on a desk to perform various operations.

[0003] In such an OA apparatus, it is necessary to attach a print sheet for printout, and the print sheet is generally supplied in a zigzag manner to have a predetermined length, and the folded sheet is supplied as a sheet. The paper is stored in a container, and the paper pulled out from the container is set in a printer for use.

In the above case, when the print paper is set on the printer, the operation is troublesome because the operation is performed on the back side of the desk, and it is necessary to secure a space for the operation around the desk. was there.

[0005] Accordingly, a printer desk (actually, a printer desk 1) in which the drawing end of the printing paper in the paper container is automatically led out to the upper surface of the rear part of the desk so that the paper can be set without turning around behind the desk. No. 30097) has been proposed.

In the desk structure described in this publication, the lower ends of a gate-shaped arm are pivotally mounted on both sides of a paper tray provided in the lower part of the desk so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, and are mounted so as to be able to swing up and down. The upper part of the arm comes into contact with a stopper provided on the leg of the desk by pushing the paper tray behind the desk, and the arm is raised and the upper end thereof is protruded upward from the upper surface of the desk top plate. Therefore, by holding the leading edge of the printing paper on the upper end of this arm, the leading edge of the printing paper protrudes upward from the upper surface of the desk as the arm rises, so that it can be pinched and set in the printer. It has been done.

[0007]

However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, the lower end of the arm is pivotally attached to the paper tray so as to be swingable.
Since this arm is raised against the stopper, the upper end of the arm draws an arc and protrudes from the upper surface of the desk top plate. For this reason, the arm cannot be protruded to a position that is easy to handle unless the arm is long. In this case, not only does the arm require a large depth when the arm is folded down, but also a long pushing stroke of the paper compartment is required, and there is a problem that the operation is cumbersome and the upper end of the paper cannot be sufficiently protruded.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a desk for OA equipment in which the leading end of the paper can be projected to a predetermined position on the top surface of the desk by a short pressing stroke of the paper holder, and the operation at the time of paper setting is facilitated. It was done for the purpose of doing.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As a means for solving the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a paper feeder which is provided at a position below a desk top plate so as to be movable in the front-rear direction and on which printing paper is placed. At a desk for OA equipment having a table,
At the inner end of the sheet feeding table, a leg of a sheet guide capable of suspending a sheet at an upper end is slidably supported in a vertical direction, and a rear portion of a guide member for guiding the movement of the sheet feeding table has a rear portion. And a lower end of the paper guide is slid in contact with the paper feed tray when the paper feed tray is pressed. It is characterized by being placed near the upper surface of the plate.

[0010]

The print paper is set on the paper feed table, and the leading end is suspended on the upper end of the paper guide. At this time, since the lower end of the paper guide is not in contact with the inclined guide, it is at the lowered position.

When the paper feed tray is pushed in at the time of setting the paper, the lower end of the paper guide slides along the upper surface of the inclined guide near the end of the pushing, and moves backward while gradually ascending. When the paper feed table approaches the pushing end, the upper end of the paper guide protrudes above the desk top plate, and finally, the upper end of the inclined guide protrudes near the upper surface of the desk top plate. Here, the leading edge of the print sheet is pinched and pulled out, and set in the printer. After starting printing, if you pull back the paper feed tray to the front, the lower end of the paper guide slides down on the inclined guide and does not hinder the supply of the print paper in the paper feed tray to the printer. It does not hinder the ejection of the printed paper ejected from the printer.
