DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention has a stamping machine
The present invention relates to an information communication device such as a facsimile device .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An information communication device using a stamp device will be described below.
The device will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, and 7, taking a facsimile machine as an example .

In FIGS. 4 to 6, reference numeral 1 denotes an ink-containing stamp held by a stamp holder 2, and a character "done" is stamped on the top of the stamp. Reference numeral 3 denotes a regulation guide formed integrally with the solenoid 4 and guiding the armature member 9. Reference numeral 5 denotes a spring for urging the armature member 9 downward, and reference numeral 6 denotes a plunger fitted in the center of the armature member 9 to be driven under the influence of a magnetic field generated by the solenoid 4. Reference numeral 7 denotes a chassis that supports a lower portion of the regulation guide 3, and 8 denotes a bobbin around which the solenoid 4 is wound, and is fixed to the regulation guide 3. Reference numeral 10 denotes a stamp cover that covers the stamp portion shown in FIG. Reference numeral 10a is provided in the stamp cover 10, and a notch hole 11 for allowing the ink-containing stamp 1 to pass therethrough is a return spring for urging the stamp cover 10 in the closing direction.

FIG. 7 shows a facsimile apparatus provided with the stamp apparatus shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, and 13 is an upper cover. Reference numeral 14 denotes a paper feed unit including a paper feed roller, a guide, etc., 15 denotes a document reading unit including an optical sensor and the like, 16 denotes a discharge unit including a discharge roller, and 17 denotes a main body of the facsimile apparatus. Numeral 18 indicates a path through which a document on which information to be transmitted in the facsimile apparatus is recorded is guided.

The operation of the stamp device having the above-described configuration will be described below.

Documents processed by the facsimile apparatus are indicated by arrows.
Pass through the equipment as shown at 18. In the process,
Before the document read by the document reading unit 15 is discharged out of the apparatus by the discharge unit 16, the stamp “Done” is stamped by the stamp unit. That is, when the document that has passed the document reading unit 15 approaches the stamp unit, a current flows through the solenoid 4,
A magnetic field is generated, and an upward force is applied to the plunger 6. As a result, the spring 5 is compressed, the armature member 9 pushes up the stamp holder 2, and the ink-containing stamp 1 comes into contact with the document paper, and the character "done" is stamped.

After the stamping, by stopping and cutting off the current flowing through the solenoid 4, the magnetic field disappears, and the spring 5 returns to the original state. As a result, the ink stamp 1 separates from the original paper.

When replacing the ink, the stub cover 10 is opened in the direction of A, the ink-containing stamp 1 is removed from the stamp holder 2, replaced, and the stamp cover 10 is returned to the original position. When the stamp cover 10 is opened, the return spring 11 extends around the stamp cover fulcrum 12, and the stamp cover 10 can be automatically closed by its elastic restoring force.

[0009]

However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the ink is exchanged by providing the stamp cover 10, so that the number of parts is large, and since the stamp cover 10 needs to be opened and closed, the ink exchange is performed. Had the disadvantage of taking time.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stamp device having a simple configuration in which ink can be easily replaced.

[0011]

To achieve the above object, according to the solution to ## invention of claim 1 wherein the seal means having a printing portion for stamping on the document, a plunger supporting the stamping means from the bottom, the plunger And a guide means for guiding the printing unit to a non-printing position by the weight of the plunger when the electric biasing means is deenergized. is there. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imprinting means having a printing portion for imprinting an original, a plunger for supporting the imprinting means from below, and an electric bias for holding the plunger in a freely insertable manner and moving the plunger to an imprinting position. Means, guide means for guiding the printing unit to a non-printing position by the weight of the plunger when the electric urging means is deenergized, and a hole for covering the lower part of the electric urging means and exposing the lower part of the plunger. And a chassis having the same. Claims

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 51 denotes an ink-containing stamp held by a stamp holder 52, and the character "OK" is stamped on the top of the stamp. Reference numeral 52a denotes an inverted triangular protruding portion added to the side surface of the stamp holder 52, which fits into a concave portion 57 of the same shape provided on the chassis 57. Reference numeral 53 denotes a regulating guide formed integrally with the solenoid 54 and guiding the stamp holder 52.
Reference numeral 55 denotes a plunger (having a core) penetrating through the center of the solenoid 54, and is driven under the influence of a magnetic field generated by the solenoid 54. Reference numeral 56 denotes a connecting portion of a plunger for connecting the stamp holder 52 and the plunger 55, and is normally press-fitted into an engagement hole provided in the stamp holder.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic configuration of a facsimile apparatus provided with the stamp apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the parts corresponding to those of the apparatus shown in FIG.
Reference numeral 13 denotes an upper cover, 14 denotes a paper feeding unit, 15 denotes a reading unit, and 17 denotes a main body of the facsimile apparatus. Reference numeral 59 denotes a path through which a document on which information to be transmitted in the facsimile apparatus is recorded is guided. 57b is a notch provided in the chassis 57 for passing the ink-containing stamp 51. A discharge unit 16 discharges the document that has passed through the stamp unit. 57c is a notch provided in the chassis 57 to expose a lower portion of the plunger 55. Numeral 58 denotes a reception opening / closing section for taking out components mounted on the facsimile apparatus from below.

The operation of the stamp device configured as described above will be described below. The document processed by the facsimile machine passes through the device as indicated by arrow 59.
In the process, the original read by the original reading unit 15 is
Prior to being ejected out of the machine by the ejection unit 16, the stamp of the stamp portion "done" is pressed. That is, the document reading unit 15
