Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the plastic deformation of a paper guide plate to apply a proper pressing force to a platen by mounting a regulating body on a back face of a platen pressing surface of the paper guide plate. CONSTITUTION:An elastic paper guide plate 2 made of a spring stainless steel board is bonded with a paper guide plate support body 4 of a rigid body at a part (a) in a scanning direction of a printing head over the full length thereof. The paper guide plate support body 4 is fixed to a printer side frame 5 with a screw. A platen 1 is uniformly applied with a pressing force (f) which occurs by the deflection of the paper guide plate 2. Here, the paper guide support body 4 also serves as a paper guide plate regulating body at a back face of a pressing surface of the paper guide plate 2. In a normal paper feeding, the tip end of the support body 4 does not interfere with the displacing action of the paper guide plate caused by recording paper 6 passing through, and the paper guide plate and a pressurizing body generating a spring force and positioned so as to abut on the support body 4 in a displacing action area in which they are free from a plastic deformation caused by an external force. In this manner, the paper guide plate 2 can be prevented from being plastically deformed, e.g., being folded or bent.

] Problems and Objectives to be Solved by the Invention 1 However, in conventional paper feeding devices, when a plate-shaped elastic body is used as a paper guide plate as described above, recording paper with high bending rigidity passes through the paper feeding path. When excessive displacement is applied in the opposite direction to the pressing direction due to paper jamming in the paper feeding path, or an artificial external force, the paper guide plate 2 may exceed the elastic deformation region. After that, there was a problem in that it became impossible to press the recording paper uniformly on the pressing surface.

Therefore, in order to solve these conventional problems, the present invention has the following features:
Even if an excessive external force acts on the paper guide plate 2 in the opposite direction to the pressing direction, plastic deformation such as bending or bending is prevented from occurring in the paper guide plate 2, and a uniform and appropriate pressing force is always generated. The purpose is to obtain a paper feeding device.

Means for Solving the Problems 1 In order to solve the above problems, the paper feeding device of the present invention includes a rigid paper guide fixed to the printer frame on the back side of the recording paper pressing surface of the paper guide plate. It is characterized by having a plate regulating body.

[Function] In the paper feeding device of the printer configured as described above, the recording paper is pressed against the paper guide plate 2 due to the passage of recording paper with high bending rigidity, a paper jam in the paper feeding path, or an artificial external force. When an excessive external force is applied in the opposite direction, the paper guide plate will come into contact with the paper guide plate regulating body and work after the contact, even though the displacement of the paper guide plate or pressurizing body 9 will reach the plastic deformation region. The paper guide regulating body receives the external force.
