Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、印刷機能を内蔵するプリンタ付き携帯機器装置に関し、特に、印字用紙を正確にガイドできるようにしたものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、データ処理機能を持つモバイル型の携帯端末が開発され、各種の業務に活用されている。この装置は、業種に応じた業務支援アプリケーションを搭載することにより、銀行などの渉外活動や、保守・点検作業、訪問先での商談、運送・宅配・引越しの見積書の作成、巡回看護や介護の記録など、幅広い業務に利用することができる。この装置を扱うセールスマンや担当者は、片手で装置を保持し、他方の手に入力用のペンを持ち、入力画面のメニューを選択してデータを呼び出したり、必要なデータを入力する。また、この装置は、社内に設置された集配信装置を通じて、記録したデータをホストコンピュータにアップロードしたり、ホストコンピュータから最新のデータをダウンロードしたりすることができ、社内ネットワークとの情報共有化を図ることができる。
【０００３】
また、この装置をポータブルプリンタとケーブル接続することにより、商談現場で見積書や伝票、保証書、領収書などを発行することができる。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、携帯端末とプリンタとをケーブルで接続する場合は、印刷を行うとき、両方の装置を平らな場所に置いて操作する必要があり、これらの装置を携帯したまま印刷することはできない。こうした携帯端末の操作性を改善するため、本発明者等は、プリンタを内蔵した携帯端末を開発した。この装置は、片手で保持したまま伝票や見積書、証書などをプリントアウトすることができる。
【０００５】
ただ、この場合、印字部に導入する印刷用紙の位置決めが問題になる。見積書や証書などの印刷用紙は、予め罫線や定形文が印刷された一枚ずつの単票であり、この単票の決められた位置に文字を印字する必要がある。しかし、単票が、移動方向に対して、斜めの状態で印字部に導入される（単票が斜行する）と、正しい位置に文字を印刷することができない。また、この印刷用紙の斜行は、印字部内で紙がジャムる原因になる。
【０００６】
卓上で操作するワードプロセッサなどでは、内蔵するプリンタに印刷用紙のガイドを通常設けているが、プリンタを内蔵する携帯端末では、装置全体の小型・軽量化が必須の命題であるから、ワードプロセッサなどで使用されている印刷用紙のガイド機構を導入することはできない。
【０００７】
本発明は、こうした従来の課題を解決するものであり、印刷用紙のコンパクトなガイド機構を持ち、小型・軽量化を満たしながら、優れた印刷性能を有するプリンタ付き携帯機器装置を提供することを目的としている。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、本発明では、プリンタを内蔵した携帯機器装置において、開閉が可能なプリンタの蓋部材と、プリンタを開けるとき、閉成位置から回転した蓋部材の回転角度を一定に保持する保持手段と、蓋部材の回転中心から最も遠い位置の近傍に、前記回転中心の中心軸と平行する方向に印字用紙の幅だけ隔てて設けた、印字用紙の前記方向への移動を規制する一対の規制手段とを設けている。
【０００９】
そのため、この装置を携帯した状態で、単票などに印字する場合でも、印字用紙の斜行に起因する印字の位置ずれや用紙の絡まり（紙ジャム）を防止することができる。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施形態における携帯機器装置は、図２に示すように、偏平な、小型弁当箱のような外形を有しており、表面には長方形の入力画面11と、プリンタの蓋部材12とを備えている。操作者は、図１７に示すように、短辺側の脇を片手で持ち、他方の手に持つペンで入力画面11にタッチして入力操作を行う。蓋部材12は開閉可能であり、これを開くと、図１に示すように、プリンタの印字用紙挿入口13と印字用紙排出口14とが現れる。蓋部材12の開き角度は約１１０度に保持される。
【００１１】
蓋部材12の縁には、印字用紙幅の間隔を置いて一対のガイド部材15を設けている。このガイド部材15は、蓋部材12と平行に倒したり、蓋部材12から直角に起立させることができ、蓋部材12を閉じるときはガイド部材15を倒し、また、蓋部材12を開いてプリントアウトを実行するときは、ガイド部材15を起こし、印字用紙を、一対のガイド部材15の間を通して印字用紙挿入口13に導く。16は紙送りノブであり、印字用紙挿入口13に導入した印字用紙の先端位置を、紙送りノブ16を回して調節する。
【００１２】
図３は、ガイド部材15を起こして単票17を印刷している状態を示し、図４は、その側面図を示している。蓋部材12は、印字用紙挿入口13及びプリンタ内部の印字用紙搬送経路に単票17が無理なく挿入できる角度を保持している。
【００１３】
図５は、装置本体から取り外した蓋部材12を示している。蓋部材12の回転中心位置となる図の下側の両側方には、支軸用の突起21が設けられており、蓋部材12を撓ませて、この突起21を装置本体側の窪みに嵌合することにより、蓋部材12は装置本体に開閉可能に取り付けられる。
【００１４】
また、蓋部材12の周囲を補強用の縦壁18で囲み、縦壁18の一部を除いてガイド部材15を設置している。また、蓋部材12の回転中心側の縁は、中央部分の縦壁18の高さを低くし、そこに、蓋部材12を開いたときの回転角度を規制するストッパー19を設けている。図６は、ストッパー19の一つを拡大して示し、図７の側面図は、蓋部材12を開いたとき、ストッパー19の先端が装置本体の壁に当接して、蓋部材12のそれ以上の開きを規制している状態を示している。
また、蓋部材12には、開放方向に付勢するスプリングを受け入れるための凹部22を設け、また、装置本体側の磁石に吸着される磁性金属片20を配置している。
【００１５】
図８は、このスプリング23及び磁石による開閉機構を拡大して示している。スプリング23の基部及び磁石部分はカバー24で隠されており、カバー24を外した状態を図９に、また、負荷が無い状態のスプリング23単体を図１０に示している。
磁石25は導磁片26で囲まれ、導磁片26の先端がカバー24の孔27から露出している。蓋部材12を閉じたときには、蓋部材12に固定した磁性金属片20が導磁片26の先端に吸着され、蓋部材12の閉成状態が保持される。
【００１６】
一方、スプリング23は、基部のコイル部分28及び折曲部分29が装置本体側に固定され、湾曲部分30が蓋部材12の凹部22に収容される。このとき湾曲部分30は、反発力を貯えた状態で凹部22に収容されるため、図１０の状態に戻ろうとするスプリング23により、蓋部材12は常に開く方向に付勢される。
従って、蓋部材12が閉じているとき、人が磁石25の吸着力に抗して蓋部材12を開き始めると、磁石25の吸着力が弱まり、スプリング23の付勢力が勝って、蓋部材12は、ストッパー19に規制される角度まで自動的に開く。
【００１７】
図１１は、ガイド部材15の取付け構造を分解して示している。縦壁18を内側に直角に曲げ、その先を再び直角に曲げてガイド部材取り付け位置に臨ませ、この縦壁18の終端部分に小孔32を設けて軸受壁31を形成している。ガイド部材15には、この軸受壁31を挟み込む切り溝33を設け、切り溝33の両側の片に、ピン38を通すための貫通孔34を設けている。また、ガイド部材15には、ガイド部材15の起立操作がし易いように、指先を引っ掛ける爪35を設けている。また、この爪35と向き合う側の縦壁18の断面にはテーパー36を付して爪35との間隔を拡げ、指先が爪35の位置に入り易くしている。
【００１８】
また、蓋部材12のガイド部材15装着位置に僅かな窪み37を設け、ガイド部材15の厚さ（図１１の縦方向の厚さ）の寸法をできるだけ大きく取れるように構成している。
ガイド部材15を軸受壁31に取り付ける場合は、ガイド部材15の切り溝33を軸受壁32に嵌め込み、ガイド部材15の貫通孔34及び軸受壁31の小孔32にピン38を挿通して、ガイド部材15を軸受壁31で枢支する。このガイド部材15の貫通孔34は、ピン38の径より大きめに形成し、一方、軸受壁31の小孔32は、嵌まったピン38が簡単に抜けないような径に形成している。そのため、挿通したピン38は、軸受壁31の小孔32に“締まりばめ”の状態で固定され、ガイド部材15は、このピン38の回りを回転する。
【００１９】
また、ガイド部材15が回転位置を自己保持できるように、軸受壁31とガイド部材15の切り溝33とが若干干渉して、軸受壁31と切り溝33の内面との間で摩擦が生じるように、軸受壁31の厚さとガイド部材15の切り溝33の幅とを寸法設定している。
この場合、蓋部材12をＡＢＳ樹脂などの硬質樹脂で成形し、ガイド部材15を軟質ポリエチレンやポリプロピレンなどの軟質樹脂で成形すれば、ガイド部材15の切り溝33に硬質樹脂の軸受壁31を嵌めたとき、切り溝33の内面が変形して軸受壁31に常時弾性的に接触し、両者間で安定した摩擦を得ることができる。
【００２０】
このような構成では、例えば、ピンとガイド部材との間の摩擦面積等に比べて、軸受壁31とガイド部材15の切り溝33との間で広い摩擦面積を確保することができるため、摩擦状態を永続させることが可能であり、ガイド部材15の回転位置を安定的に保持することができる。
【００２１】
図１２は、ガイド部材15を倒した状態を示し、また、図１３は、このときの側面図を示している。蓋部材12のガイド部材15装着位置に窪み37を設けているため、倒した状態のガイド部材15は、縦壁18の高さから突出すること無く、縦壁18のラインの延長線を形成する。そのため、蓋部材15を閉じるときに、ガイド部材15が障害にならない。
【００２２】
図１４は、ガイド部材15を起立させた状態を示し、図１５は、このときの側面図を示している。一対のガイド部材15は、図５に示すように、お互いに向き合う方向に倒立し、倒立状態から、互いに反対方向に回転して起立する。ガイド部材15は、倒立状態から９０度回転すると、折れ曲がった縦壁18の部分に当接して、それ以上の回転が規制される。そのため、一対のガイド部材15の間に配置された印字用紙からガイド部材15に力が加わっても、ガイド部材15は直角に起立した状態を維持することができる。
【００２３】
また、ガイド部材15は蓋部材12の回転中心から最も遠い位置に設けているため、蓋部材12上の印字用紙挿入口13から最も離れた位置で印字用紙の位置規制が行われる。そのため、印字用紙を少ない力で正確にガイドすることができる。
【００２４】
このように、このプリンタ付き携帯機器装置は、印字用紙のガイド機構を有しているため、機器を携帯したまま不安定な状態でプリントアウトする場合でも、印字用紙の正確な位置規制が可能であり、印字の位置ずれやプリンタ内での印字用紙の絡まりを防止することができる。
【００２５】
なお、ここでは、ガイド部材15の貫通孔34の径を軸受壁31の小孔32の径より大きくして、ピン38を軸受壁31の小孔32に“締まりばめ”の状態で固定する場合について説明したが、ガイド部材15の貫通孔34の径を小さくし、軸受壁31の小孔32の径を大きくして、ピン38をガイド部材15の貫通孔34に“締まりばめ”の状態で固定するようにしても良い。
【００２６】
また、ここでは単票への印字について説明したが、プリンタ内に収容したロール紙に印字を行う機種の場合でも、印字され、排出されたロール紙をガイド部材間を通して位置規制することにより、安定した、正確な印字が可能になる。
【００２７】
また、本発明の変形として、図１６に示すように、プリンタの蓋部材12に印字用紙の幅に合わせた切り欠き39を設け、この切り欠き39によって印字用紙の位置規制を行うようにしても良い。この切り欠き39の側辺は、起立するガイド部材と同様に印字用紙の斜行を防止する。
【００２８】
また、本発明は、プリンタを内蔵するどのような種類の携帯装置に対しても適用することができる。
【００２９】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明から明らかなように、本発明のプリンタ付き携帯機器装置は、携帯してプリントアウトする場合でも、印字用紙の斜行に起因する印字の位置ずれや用紙の絡まり（紙ジャム）を未然に防止することができる。
【００３０】
そのため、伝票や証書などの発行業務を場所を限定せずに行うことが可能になり、携帯機器装置を利用する業務範囲を拡大することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a portable device device with a printer having a built-in printing function, and more particularly, can accurately guide printing paper.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, mobile portable terminals having a data processing function have been developed and used for various operations. This device is equipped with a business support application according to the type of business, so it can be used for banking and other external activities, maintenance / inspection work, business negotiations at destinations, transportation / home delivery / moving estimate, patrol nursing and nursing care. It can be used for a wide range of tasks, such as recording. A salesman or a person in charge handling this apparatus holds the apparatus with one hand, holds an input pen in the other hand, selects a menu on the input screen, calls data, or inputs necessary data. In addition, this device can upload recorded data to the host computer or download the latest data from the host computer through a collection and distribution device installed in the company, and share information with the internal network. Can be planned.
[0003]
In addition, by connecting this device to a portable printer with a cable, it is possible to issue an estimate, slip, warranty card, receipt, etc. at the negotiation site.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the portable terminal and the printer are connected by a cable, it is necessary to operate both devices on a flat place when printing is performed, and printing cannot be performed while these devices are carried. In order to improve the operability of such a portable terminal, the present inventors have developed a portable terminal incorporating a printer. This device can print out slips, quotations, certificates, etc. while holding it with one hand.
[0005]
However, in this case, positioning of the printing paper introduced into the printing unit becomes a problem. Printing paper such as an estimate and a certificate is a single sheet on which ruled lines and fixed-form sentences are printed in advance, and it is necessary to print characters at a predetermined position of the single sheet. However, if a single sheet is introduced into the printing unit in an oblique state with respect to the moving direction (the single sheet is skewed), characters cannot be printed at the correct position. Also, the skew of the printing paper causes the paper to jam in the printing unit.
[0006]
In a word processor that operates on a desktop, etc., a guide for printing paper is usually provided in the built-in printer. However, in a portable terminal with a built-in printer, it is essential to reduce the size and weight of the entire device. It is not possible to introduce a guide mechanism for printed paper.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and to provide a portable device device with a printer having a compact guide mechanism for printing paper and having excellent printing performance while satisfying a reduction in size and weight. It is said.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, in the present invention, in the portable device device incorporating the printer, the lid member of the printer that can be opened and closed, and the holding means that holds the rotation angle of the lid member rotated from the closed position constant when the printer is opened, A pair of restricting means for restricting movement of the printing paper in the direction in the vicinity of the position farthest from the rotation center of the lid member, separated by the width of the printing paper in a direction parallel to the central axis of the rotation center; Is provided.
[0009]
For this reason, even when printing on a single sheet or the like while carrying this apparatus, it is possible to prevent misalignment of printing and entanglement (paper jam) due to skew of printing paper.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in FIG. 2, the portable device device according to the embodiment of the present invention has a flat, small lunch box-like outer shape, a rectangular input screen 11 on the surface, a lid member 12 of the printer, It has. As shown in FIG. 17, the operator performs an input operation by holding the side of the short side with one hand and touching the input screen 11 with a pen held in the other hand. The lid member 12 can be opened and closed. When the lid member 12 is opened, a printing paper insertion port 13 and a printing paper discharge port 14 of the printer appear as shown in FIG. The opening angle of the lid member 12 is maintained at about 110 degrees.
[0011]
A pair of guide members 15 are provided on the edge of the lid member 12 with an interval of the width of the printing paper. The guide member 15 can be tilted in parallel with the lid member 12 or can be raised at a right angle from the lid member 12. When closing the lid member 12, the guide member 15 is tilted, and the lid member 12 is opened to print out. Is performed, the guide member 15 is raised, and the printing paper is guided to the printing paper insertion port 13 through the pair of guide members 15. A paper feed knob 16 adjusts the position of the leading edge of the printing paper introduced into the printing paper insertion slot 13 by turning the paper feeding knob 16.
[0012]
FIG. 3 shows a state in which the guide member 15 is raised and the cut sheet 17 is printed, and FIG. 4 shows a side view thereof. The lid member 12 maintains an angle at which the single sheet 17 can be easily inserted into the printing paper insertion opening 13 and the printing paper conveyance path inside the printer.
[0013]
FIG. 5 shows the lid member 12 removed from the apparatus main body. Support shaft projections 21 are provided on both sides of the lower side of the figure, which is the rotation center position of the lid member 12, and the lid member 12 is bent so that the projection 21 is fitted in a recess on the apparatus body side. By joining, the lid member 12 is attached to the apparatus main body so as to be opened and closed.
[0014]
Further, the periphery of the lid member 12 is surrounded by a reinforcing vertical wall 18, and a guide member 15 is installed except for a part of the vertical wall 18. Further, the edge on the rotation center side of the lid member 12 is provided with a stopper 19 for lowering the height of the vertical wall 18 in the central portion and restricting the rotation angle when the lid member 12 is opened. FIG. 6 shows an enlarged view of one of the stoppers 19, and the side view of FIG. 7 shows that when the lid member 12 is opened, the tip of the stopper 19 abuts against the wall of the apparatus main body, so The state which regulates the opening of is shown.
Further, the lid member 12 is provided with a recess 22 for receiving a spring that is biased in the opening direction, and a magnetic metal piece 20 that is attracted to the magnet on the apparatus main body side is disposed.
[0015]
FIG. 8 shows an enlarged opening / closing mechanism using the spring 23 and the magnet. The base portion and the magnet portion of the spring 23 are hidden by the cover 24. FIG. 9 shows the state where the cover 24 is removed, and FIG. 10 shows the spring 23 alone without any load.
The magnet 25 is surrounded by a magnetic conducting piece 26, and the tip of the magnetic conducting piece 26 is exposed from the hole 27 of the cover 24. When the lid member 12 is closed, the magnetic metal piece 20 fixed to the lid member 12 is attracted to the tip of the magnetic guide piece 26, and the closed state of the lid member 12 is maintained.
[0016]
On the other hand, in the spring 23, the base coil portion 28 and the bent portion 29 are fixed to the apparatus main body side, and the curved portion 30 is accommodated in the concave portion 22 of the lid member 12. At this time, since the curved portion 30 is accommodated in the recess 22 in a state where the repulsive force is stored, the lid member 12 is always urged in the opening direction by the spring 23 trying to return to the state shown in FIG.
Accordingly, when the lid member 12 is closed, if a person starts to open the lid member 12 against the attracting force of the magnet 25, the attracting force of the magnet 25 is weakened, and the biasing force of the spring 23 is won and the lid member 12 is won. Automatically opens to an angle regulated by the stopper 19.
[0017]
FIG. 11 shows the mounting structure of the guide member 15 in an exploded manner. The vertical wall 18 is bent inward at a right angle, and the tip of the vertical wall 18 is bent again at a right angle so as to face the guide member mounting position, and a small hole 32 is provided at the end portion of the vertical wall 18 to form a bearing wall 31. The guide member 15 is provided with a kerf 33 for sandwiching the bearing wall 31, and a through hole 34 for passing a pin 38 is provided on both sides of the kerf 33. Further, the guide member 15 is provided with a claw 35 for hooking a fingertip so that the guide member 15 can be easily erected. Further, the cross section of the vertical wall 18 on the side facing the nail 35 is provided with a taper 36 to widen the gap with the nail 35 so that the fingertip can easily enter the position of the nail 35.
[0018]
Further, a slight recess 37 is provided at the guide member 15 mounting position of the lid member 12 so that the thickness of the guide member 15 (the thickness in the vertical direction in FIG. 11) can be as large as possible.
When the guide member 15 is attached to the bearing wall 31, the groove 33 of the guide member 15 is fitted into the bearing wall 32, and the pin 38 is inserted into the through hole 34 of the guide member 15 and the small hole 32 of the bearing wall 31. The member 15 is pivotally supported by the bearing wall 31. The through hole 34 of the guide member 15 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the pin 38, while the small hole 32 of the bearing wall 31 is formed to have such a diameter that the fitted pin 38 cannot be easily removed. Therefore, the inserted pin 38 is fixed to the small hole 32 of the bearing wall 31 in an “tight fit” state, and the guide member 15 rotates around the pin 38.
[0019]
Further, the bearing wall 31 and the groove 33 of the guide member 15 slightly interfere with each other so that the guide member 15 can self-hold the rotation position, and friction is generated between the bearing wall 31 and the inner surface of the groove 33. Further, the thickness of the bearing wall 31 and the width of the groove 33 of the guide member 15 are set.
In this case, if the lid member 12 is formed of a hard resin such as ABS resin and the guide member 15 is formed of a soft resin such as soft polyethylene or polypropylene, the hard resin bearing wall 31 is fitted into the groove 33 of the guide member 15. In this case, the inner surface of the kerf 33 is deformed and always elastically contacts the bearing wall 31, and stable friction can be obtained between them.
[0020]
In such a configuration, for example, it is possible to ensure a wide friction area between the bearing wall 31 and the groove 33 of the guide member 15 as compared to the friction area between the pin and the guide member. Can be made permanent, and the rotational position of the guide member 15 can be stably maintained.
[0021]
FIG. 12 shows a state in which the guide member 15 is tilted, and FIG. 13 shows a side view at this time. Since the depression 37 is provided at the mounting position of the guide member 15 of the lid member 12, the guide member 15 in the tilted state forms an extension of the line of the vertical wall 18 without protruding from the height of the vertical wall 18. . Therefore, when the lid member 15 is closed, the guide member 15 does not become an obstacle.
[0022]
FIG. 14 shows a state in which the guide member 15 is erected, and FIG. 15 shows a side view at this time. As shown in FIG. 5, the pair of guide members 15 are inverted in directions facing each other, and are rotated upright in the opposite directions from the inverted state. When the guide member 15 rotates 90 degrees from the inverted state, the guide member 15 comes into contact with the bent portion of the vertical wall 18, and further rotation is restricted. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the guide member 15 from the printing paper disposed between the pair of guide members 15, the guide member 15 can be maintained in a standing state at a right angle.
[0023]
Further, since the guide member 15 is provided at a position farthest from the rotation center of the lid member 12, the position of the printing paper is regulated at a position farthest from the printing paper insertion port 13 on the lid member 12. Therefore, the printing paper can be accurately guided with a small force.
[0024]
Thus, since this portable device with a printer has a printing paper guide mechanism, it is possible to accurately regulate the printing paper position even when printing is performed in an unstable state with the device being carried. In addition, it is possible to prevent misalignment of printing and entanglement of printing paper in the printer.
[0025]
Here, the diameter of the through hole 34 of the guide member 15 is made larger than the diameter of the small hole 32 of the bearing wall 31, and the pin 38 is fixed to the small hole 32 of the bearing wall 31 in an “tight fit” state. As described above, the diameter of the through hole 34 of the guide member 15 is reduced, the diameter of the small hole 32 of the bearing wall 31 is increased, and the pin 38 is fitted to the through hole 34 of the guide member 15 with an “tight fit”. You may make it fix in a state.
[0026]
Although printing on a single sheet has been described here, even in the case of a model that prints on roll paper accommodated in a printer, the position of the roll paper that is printed and discharged is regulated by passing between the guide members. Accurate printing is possible.
[0027]
Further, as a modification of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 16, a notch 39 corresponding to the width of the printing paper is provided in the lid member 12 of the printer, and the position of the printing paper is regulated by this notch 39. good.
