本発明は、説明書等の収納構造及びこれを用いた画像形成装置に係り、特に、複写機、複合機、プリンタ、ファクシミリ等の機器の取扱説明書等を収納する収納構造、及びこの収納構造を備えた画像形成装置に関する。   BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage structure for instructions and the like and an image forming apparatus using the storage structure, and more particularly, a storage structure for storing instruction manuals for devices such as copiers, multifunction machines, printers, and facsimiles, and the storage structure The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus including

従来、複写機、複合機、プリンタ、ファクシミリ等の機器の取扱説明書は、装置本体に設けられた収納部に収納、保管され、必要に応じてユーザーが取り出して使用するようになっている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, instruction manuals for devices such as copiers, multifunction machines, printers, and facsimile machines are stored and stored in a storage unit provided in the apparatus main body, and are extracted and used by users as necessary.

取扱説明書等の収納部は、一般にユーザーの作業や操作を妨げないように装置本体の背面や側面に設けられている。
その収納部の構成として、例えば、図１０（ａ）に示すように、収納部３１０の取付側端部にフック部３２０を突出形成し、一方、複写機３００ａの側面に係合部３３０を形成して、その係合部３３０の上方よりフック部３２０を挿入して引っ掛けるようにしたものが提案されている（特許文献１を参照）。
特開２００４−６１９５７号公報 A storage section for an instruction manual or the like is generally provided on the back and side surfaces of the apparatus main body so as not to hinder the work and operation of the user.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the storage portion is configured such that a hook portion 320 protrudes from an attachment side end of the storage portion 310 and an engaging portion 330 is formed on the side surface of the copier 300a. Then, there has been proposed one in which the hook portion 320 is inserted and hooked from above the engaging portion 330 (see Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-61957 A

しかしながら、上記従来の技術では、図１０（ｂ），（ｃ）に示すように、取扱説明書３００ｐを斜め上方（矢印Ａ方向）に取り出した場合、取扱説明書３００ｐと収納部３１０の開口部３１２との摩擦力などにより、取扱説明書３００ｐを持ち上げる際に収納部３１０も共に取り上げてしまい、収納部３１０が複写機３００ａの係合部３３０より外れて床に落下する場合があった。これにより、収納部３１０が破損することがあるという問題が生じている。   However, in the above conventional technique, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, when the instruction manual 300 p is taken obliquely upward (in the direction of arrow A), the instruction manual 300 p and the opening of the storage unit 310 are used. When the instruction manual 300p is lifted due to frictional force with 312 and the like, the storage unit 310 is also picked up, and the storage unit 310 may come off the engaging unit 330 of the copying machine 300a and fall to the floor. Thereby, the problem that the accommodating part 310 may be damaged has arisen.

上記問題の対策として、収納部が外れないように複写機側面に固定する手法が考えられるが、最近、取扱説明書の頁数が多く、冊子の厚さが厚くなってきているため、取扱説明書を斜め上方に取り出した際に、取出すときの力が収納部に作用して取扱説明書が収納部により強く擦られて、取扱説明書が損傷することがあるという問題がある。   As a countermeasure against the above problem, a method of fixing the side of the copier so that the storage part does not come off is conceivable, but recently, the number of pages in the instruction manual is large and the thickness of the booklet is increasing, so the instruction manual When the book is taken out obliquely upward, there is a problem that the instruction manual may be rubbed strongly by the storage part due to the force applied to the storage part and the instruction manual may be damaged.

また、収納部が樹脂製の場合は、取扱説明書を取り出すときの力により収納部が破損することがあるという問題がある。   Moreover, when a storage part is resin, there exists a problem that a storage part may be damaged by the force when taking out an instruction manual.

本発明は、上記従来の問題点を鑑みてなされたものであって、機器本体に設けられた収納部から取扱説明書等を取り出す際に、収納部が不用意に外れることが無く、また、取扱説明書や収納部の破損を防止できる説明書等の収納構造及びこれを用いた画像形成装置を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and when taking out an instruction manual or the like from the storage unit provided in the device body, the storage unit is not inadvertently detached, It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage structure such as an instruction manual or a manual that can prevent damage to the storage section, and an image forming apparatus using the storage structure.

次に、本実施形態に係る収納構造１００による作用について図面を参照して説明する。
図６の（ａ）は本実施形態に係る収納構造の収納部が通常の時の状態を示す断面図、（ｂ）は前記収納部に外力が掛った時の変形状態を示す断面図、（ｃ）は（ｂ）のＣ部の部分詳細図である。 Next, the effect | action by the storage structure 100 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to drawings.
6A is a cross-sectional view showing a state when the storage portion of the storage structure according to the present embodiment is normal, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view showing a deformed state when an external force is applied to the storage portion. c) is a detailed view of part C of (b).

収納部１１０は、図６（ａ）に示すように、通常、外装カバー１ａに取付けた状態で、収納部１１０の弾性力によって第１取付部１２１が第１係合部１３１の所定位置で係合状態を維持する方向に付勢するようにされている。
すなわち、収納部１１０は、収納部１１０を外装カバー１ａに取付けた状態で、収納部１１０の幅方向両側部１１０ａ，１１０ｂの第１取付部１２１が第２係合部１３１に対して収納部１１０の幅方向に沿って拡開する方向（矢印Ｙ１，Ｙ２方向）に作用している。 As shown in FIG. 6A, the storage portion 110 is normally attached to the exterior cover 1 a and the first attachment portion 121 is engaged at a predetermined position of the first engagement portion 131 by the elastic force of the storage portion 110. It is adapted to be biased in the direction of maintaining the combined state.
That is, in the storage unit 110, the first mounting portions 121 of the both side portions 110 a and 110 b in the width direction of the storage unit 110 are stored in the storage unit 110 with respect to the second engagement unit 131 in a state where the storage unit 110 is attached to the exterior cover 1 a. Acting in the direction (arrow Y1, Y2 direction) expanding along the width direction.

この状態で、収納部１１０の開口部１１２側に外力が加わり、収納部１１０が外装カバー１ａに取付けられた状態から、収納部１１０が厚さ方向に弾性変形すると、第１取付部１２１が第１係合部１３１から取り外し可能な状態になるように構成されている。   In this state, when an external force is applied to the opening 112 side of the storage portion 110 and the storage portion 110 is elastically deformed in the thickness direction from the state where the storage portion 110 is attached to the exterior cover 1a, the first attachment portion 121 is The first engaging portion 131 is configured to be removable.

すなわち、図６（ｂ）に示すように、収納部１１０が厚さ方向（矢印Ｘ方向）に弾性変形すると、収納部１１０の幅方向両側部が幅方向で狭くなる方向（矢印Ｙ３，Ｙ４方向）に変形する。これにより、収納部１１０の幅方向外側に向かい付勢されている第１取付部１２１，１２１は、図４（ｂ），図６（ｃ）に示すように、収納部１１０の幅方向内側に移動して、係止部１２１ｂ，１２２ｂが第１係合部１３１の固定用開口部１３１ｂ側から着脱用開口部１３１ａ側に移動して係合状態が解除される。   That is, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the storage part 110 is elastically deformed in the thickness direction (arrow X direction), both sides in the width direction of the storage part 110 are narrowed in the width direction (arrow Y3, Y4 direction). ). As a result, the first mounting portions 121 and 121 that are biased toward the outer side in the width direction of the storage portion 110 are placed on the inner side in the width direction of the storage portion 110 as shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and 6 (c). The engaging portions 121b and 122b move from the fixing opening 131b side of the first engaging portion 131 to the detachable opening portion 131a side, and the engaged state is released.

そして、第１取付部１２１の保持部１２１ａ，１２２ａが、第１係合部１３１の着脱用開口部１３１ａから着脱可能な状態となる。この状態で収納部１１０にＸ方向の外力が作用すると第１取付部１２１が第１係合部１３１から外れる。   Then, the holding portions 121 a and 122 a of the first attachment portion 121 are detachable from the detachable opening 131 a of the first engagement portion 131. In this state, when an external force in the X direction acts on the storage portion 110, the first attachment portion 121 is detached from the first engagement portion 131.

一方、収納部１１０の底部１１３では、開口部１１２側でＸ方向に作用する外力による影響は少ないため、第２取付部１２２と第２係合部１３２は係合状態が維持された状態となっている。   On the other hand, since the bottom 113 of the storage unit 110 is less affected by the external force acting in the X direction on the opening 112 side, the second attachment portion 122 and the second engagement portion 132 are maintained in an engaged state. ing.

従って、収納部１１０は、開口部１１２側が第１取付部１２１と第１係合部１３１との係合状態が解除されても、底部１１３側の第２取付部１２２と第２係合部１３２との係合状態が維持されているため、収納部１１０の上下方向の係合状態が同時に解除されずに上部が外れても下部が引っ掛かった状態となり、不用意に収納部１１０が落下することを防止することができる。   Accordingly, the storage portion 110 has the second attachment portion 122 and the second engagement portion 132 on the bottom 113 side even when the engagement state between the first attachment portion 121 and the first engagement portion 131 is released on the opening 112 side. Since the engagement state in the vertical direction of the storage unit 110 is not released at the same time and the upper part is removed, the lower part is caught, and the storage unit 110 is inadvertently dropped. Can be prevented.

ここで、収納部１１０の外力の変形により生じるたわみ量の一実施例を以下に示す。
実施例として、図６（ｂ），（ｃ）に示すように、収納部１１０のＸ方向のたわみ量をΔｄｘ、Ｙ方向のたわみ量をΔｄｙとすると、Ｘ方向のたわみ量Δｄｘが１０ｍｍを超えた場合、または、Ｙ方向のたわみ量Δｄｙが２．５ｍｍを超えたときに、第１取付部１２１と第２係合部１３２との係合状態が解除するように構成したものであっても良い。 Here, an example of the amount of deflection caused by deformation of the external force of the storage unit 110 will be described below.
As an example, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, when the deflection amount in the X direction of the storage unit 110 is Δdx and the deflection amount in the Y direction is Δdy, the deflection amount Δdx in the X direction exceeds 10 mm. Or when the deflection amount Δdy in the Y direction exceeds 2.5 mm, the engagement state between the first attachment portion 121 and the second engagement portion 132 is released. good.

尚、Ｘ方向のたわみ量Δｄｘ、Ｙ方向のたわみ量Δｄｙは、本実施例に限定されるものではなく、収納物１００ｐの厚さや重さ、収納部１１０の大きさ等によって適宜決定されるものであって、本発明の構成に基づき様々に展開が可能である。   The deflection amount Δdx in the X direction and the deflection amount Δdy in the Y direction are not limited to the present embodiment, and are appropriately determined depending on the thickness and weight of the storage item 100p, the size of the storage unit 110, and the like. However, various developments are possible based on the configuration of the present invention.

以上のように構成したので、本実施形態によれば、収納部１１０に収納された収納物１００ｐを取り出す際に、収納部１１０が変形する程の外力が作用した場合に、収納部１１０が変形することで、第１取付部１２１と第１係合部１３１との係合状態が解除されるので、通常の取扱操作において収納部１１０が不用意に外れることが無く、取扱説明書や収納部の落下や破損を防止することができる。   Since it comprised as mentioned above, according to this embodiment, when the external force which the storage part 110 deform | transforms acts when taking out the stored item 100p stored in the storage part 110, the storage part 110 deform | transforms. By doing so, the engagement state between the first attachment portion 121 and the first engagement portion 131 is released, so that the storage portion 110 is not inadvertently detached in a normal handling operation, and the instruction manual and the storage portion Can be prevented from falling or breaking.
