Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a support mechanism for maintaining the shape of an office electronic device, such as an electronic computer or an electronic typewriter, which has a long platen and is equipped with a printing device.

Conventionally, this type of aircraft was supported by front, rear, left and right side frame plates made of metal plates, and a bottom frame plate, so the entire aircraft was prone to twisting distortion during the packing and transportation process. Therefore, it was not necessarily suitable as a shape-retaining support mechanism for an aircraft that carries a printing device that requires smooth horizontal movement, as well as small and precise electronic equipment that is easily affected by subtle changes. .

This idea was made with the aim of eliminating these disadvantages, and the support rod is formed into a hollow tube shape, with fitting edges left at both ends and a collar-like attachment part being provided to form a support body. This support body is passed between the left and right side frame plates of the aircraft body, and the fitting edges are fitted into the receiving holes provided in the side frame plates, and the mounting parts are attached to the left and right side frame plates and fixed. The present invention relates to a support mechanism for maintaining body shape in office electronic equipment, which is characterized by: An embodiment of this support mechanism will be described with reference to the drawings. The wall thickness of a pipe-shaped support rod 1 made of aluminum alloy is gradually thinned from the center toward both ends, and flanged attachment portions 2 are provided at both ends. In addition to being integrally provided, both ends of the support rod protrude outward (to the back side) from the mounting portions 2, 2 to constitute the support frame A as fitting sides 1a, 1a. This support body A is placed between the left and right frame plates 3a and 3b made of metal materials in the body 3 of an oblong office electronic device having a long platen 6, such as an electronic computer equipped with a printing device 7 or an electronic typewriter. The respective side frame plates 3a, 3b are arranged in a cross-section manner.
The inserting side 1a of the support frame A into the receiving holes 4, 4 drilled in the
1a and the mounting holes 2a, 2 of the mounting parts 2, 2.
a is fixed to the side frame plates 3a, 3b by screws 5, 5 or caulking, and is supported within the body 3. This support frame A is mainly die-cast formed from an aluminum alloy, but it is also possible to form the entire structure by forming various parts of iron pipes or iron plates and joining these parts by welding.

Both ends of the support rod 1 of the support frame A are made to protrude from the mounting parts 2, 2 to form insertion sides 1a, 1a, and these insertion sides 1a, 1a are inserted into the receiving holes 4, 4 bored in the left and right side frame plates 3a, 3b. In the embodiment in which the sides 1a, 1a are fitted and fixed, the fixing portion of the support body A to the left and right side frame plates 3a, 3b is the fixing to the side surface by the attachment portions 2, 2 and the insertion and fitting side. It is firmly connected by the two-way support of fitting into the receiving holes 4, 4 by 1a, 1a, and can fully demonstrate its effectiveness as a shape-retaining support mechanism, and there is no risk of loosening.

In an embodiment in which the thickness of the support rod 1 of the support frame A is gradually thinned from the center along the length direction toward both ends, the center portion of the support rod 1 where torsional external force is concentrated. Since it is particularly thick, the resistance against it is very strong, which is effective in preventing distortion of the fuselage 3, and also helps to reduce the weight of the fuselage 3 as a whole.

In the drawings, numeral 8 indicates a starting position indicating device provided on the machine body 3, and 9 indicates an operation panel.

As mentioned above, this idea uses a hollow tubular support rod and integrally provides flanged mounting parts at both ends of the support rod for electronic computers, electronic typewriters, etc. that have long platens and are equipped with printing devices. The fuselage is constructed by placing the support body between the left and right side frame plates and fixing the mounting parts to these side frame plates, so the force acting on the hollow tubular annular surface is utilized in multiple directions. By doing so, it exerts a strong resistance against external forces, and in particular, the resistance against torsional external forces is doubled, and it is possible to effectively prevent the torsional distortion of the aircraft body that is likely to occur during the process of packing and transportation. A support mechanism that can be firmly attached to the side frame plate by the flange-like attachment parts formed at both ends, and can be firmly attached like an elbow, without fear of loosening, and can fully perform its function as the muscle of the entire aircraft. It is.

Therefore, whereas up until now the shape of the aircraft body has been formed using the front, rear, left and right side frame plates and the bottom frame plate, with the support mechanism using the support frame of this invention, the body can be shaped using only the side frame plates without the bottom frame plate. Since the correct shape can be maintained, the interior can be opened and expanded while maintaining its strong shape by simply removing the exterior bottom plate, which is of great benefit in terms of maintenance and inspection.
