DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used in the technical field of a time stamp for printing a time or a number on a work slip or a parking card, and more specifically, a frame in the time stamp. Mounting structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As time stamps, there are a type time stamp which accepts a type ring as a printing means and a printer type time stamp which uses a printer such as a dot printer. JP-A-59-222376 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-50253.
As shown in the above publication, an upper case body (upper frame body) is integrally formed on a base table, and a print frame (printer frame) having a type ring or a printer mounted inside the upper case body is vertically rotated. The print frame is rotatably supported, and when a print sheet is inserted, the print frame is rotated downward to perform printing by a type wheel or a printer.

[0003]

Accordingly, the conventional time stamp has a large upper case body integrally formed on the left and right sides of the base table. Since the storage is troublesome, the processing of the upper frame body is difficult, and the assembling is troublesome, there has been a problem that the manufacturing cost is high.

[0004] The technical problem of the present invention is to divide the frame inside the time stamp into a plurality of members, thereby simplifying the processing and assembling, reducing the manufacturing cost, and reducing the overall size and size. The goal is to make it lighter and easier to transport and store.

[0005]

Means taken by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems are as follows.

When a sheet is inserted into an insertion slot provided between the base table and the printer frame, the printer frame is lowered and the printer performs printing.

(1) A base stand, a main body frame, and a printer frame having a printer attached to the tip end side are separately manufactured, and these printer frames and the main body frame are double-layered inside and outside. The root end side of the printer frame is pivotally supported on a rotation shaft erected on the root end of the base base so that the front end side can move up and down, and the main body frame is also pivoted on the root end side with the same rotation axis. Assemble it on a base table while supporting it.

(2) A hook-shaped projection is provided on the bottom of the main body frame, and an engagement groove is provided on the upper surface of the base table on which the main body frame is to be assembled. thing.

(3) A fitting hole is formed in a lower portion of the back plate provided on the root end side of the main body frame, and a fitting hole of the back plate is fitted in a rear end portion of the base. And insert the fixing piece to fix the main body frame to the base stand side.

(4) A point contact protrusion is protrudingly provided on one of the contact surfaces of the printer frame and the main body frame which are overlapped inside and outside.

(5) A mounting hole is drilled at the root end of the mounting frame on which the display is mounted on the front surface, and a mounting projection is protruded from the front end of the body frame for mounting the mounting frame. Attach the mounting frame provided with the indicator to the distal end of the main body frame by inserting a piece into the mounting hole and screwing between the root end and the distal end of both frames.

[0012]

The respective means described in the above (1) to (5) operate as follows.

According to the means described in the above (1), the base stand and the main body frame, which were conventionally formed integrally, are separately formed,
Since the main frame is mounted on the base table with its root end pivotally supported on the rotating shaft, the frame itself is reduced in size and weight to facilitate processing and assembly, and transport and storage. In addition, the strength of each frame itself is increased by miniaturization, and it is possible to provide a time stamp which is strong and can be used for a long time.

According to the means described in the above (2), when assembling the main body frame on the base table, the root end is supported on the rotating shaft without using any screws or the like, and Since the lower projection can be assembled by engaging the engagement groove, the assembling and disassembly can be performed extremely easily, and the labor of processing and maintenance can be greatly simplified.

According to the means described in the above (3), when the main body frame is assembled on the base table, in addition to the engagement of the projections with the shaft supports and the engagement grooves, the rear of the base table is provided. Since the insertion piece formed on the end portion is also fitted into the fitting hole formed on the back plate of the main body frame, the assembly of the main body frame can be further strengthened, while the disassembling is also performed with screws. And the like are not used, so that the operation can be performed simply as described above.

According to the means described in the above (4), the printer frame and the main body frame which are overlapped inside and outside do not make surface contact when the printer frame rotates up and down, but turn up and down while making point contact with the protrusion. Therefore, the printer frame can be rotated up and down, that is, the opening and closing of the insertion port and the lowering operation of the printer can be performed extremely smoothly and stably with a small frictional force.

According to the means described in the above (5), since the mounting frame on which the display is mounted and the main body frame are also separate structures, processing and assembly of the frame can be further simplified, and both of them can be performed. The mounting and dismounting of the frame with the mounting projections and the screws,
As in the case of the main body frame described above, it can be performed extremely easily, and the time and labor of assembling and disassembling the time stamp can be greatly simplified.

As described above, the above-mentioned technical problems can be solved by the above-described means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
