Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such conventional slip issuing devices, the data display section 2 is fixed or integrated into the main body of the device, so the visibility of the display section may vary depending on the posture and physique of the operator. There was a problem that the display could not be seen because it was out of range.

In addition, in liquid crystal displays (LCD's), etc., which are often used as display means in recent years, even if the operator is within the visible range of the data display section 2, the illumination from indoor lighting is reflected on the screen and the display is not displayed. There was a problem that it could become difficult to see.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an excellent slip issuing device that can adjust the elevation angle of a data display section to any continuous angle.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a mounting piece on a main body of the device equipped with a data display section for displaying information, operating procedures, etc., and attaches a casing of the data display section to the mounting piece. The body is mounted so as to be rotatable near the center of gravity of the casing, and to remain stationary at an arbitrary elevation angle relative to the mounting piece due to the frictional force between the mounting piece and the casing.

Function: With the above configuration, the data display section of the present invention can be freely rotated, so that the visible range of the data display section can be changed depending on the posture and physique of the operator.

Furthermore, since the elevation angle of the data display section can be adjusted to any continuous angle, the elevation angle of the display section can be finely adjusted so that the illumination from indoor lighting is not reflected on the screen.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1st
2 is a perspective view showing a slip issuing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view showing the mounting structure of the data display unit to the mounting piece in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is the same as in FIG. 1. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a comparative example of the pivot position of the data display section in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the rotating state of the data display section in FIG. 1. 6A and 6B are explanatory diagrams showing how the slip issuing device of FIG. 1 is used.

In the figure, 11 is the main body of the device, which includes a keyboard 12 for manually inputting information, a data display section 13 for displaying information inputted using the keyboard 12, operating procedures, etc., and printing data outputted by input operations using the keyboard 12. A pair of mounting pieces 1 provided with a through hole 151 are provided on the upper surface of the main body 11.
It is attached with screws etc.

The housing 131 of the data display unit 13 has both sides 132
A bolt 133 is inserted from the outside to the inside in a direction perpendicular to the side surface 132 at a point 0 near the center of gravity G of
1 and the spacer 17 are sequentially mounted around the mounting piece 15, and the nuts 18 and 19 are screwed together to hold the data display section 13 rotatably with respect to the mounting piece 15. Here, by tightening the nut 18,
The back side of the side surface 132 of the data display section 13 is placed on one side of the spacer 16, and the other side of the spacer 16 is placed on the mounting piece 1.
5, and the other side of the mounting piece 15 is pressed against one side of the spacer 17.
A frictional force is generated between the side surface of 3 and the mounting piece 15.

In this case, the insertion position O of the bolt 133 of the casing 131 is horizontally separated from the center of gravity G by a length "G" as shown in FIG. When the position of 133 is set to the tip position iP of the data display section 13 horizontally separated by a length S from the center of gravity iG as shown in FIG. Although the proof is omitted, it is clear that the moment force is small.

Therefore, by tightening the nut 18 mentioned above, the casing 13
1 and the spacer 16, between the spacer 16 and one surface of the mounting piece 15, and between the other surface of the mounting piece 15 and the spacer 17, the rotational moment applied to the housing 131. Gr, therefore, the mounting piece 15
Or, the data display section 13 is made to stand still at an arbitrary elevation angle.

The degree of the frictional force mentioned above is adjusted by changing the tightening of the nut 18 depending on the magnitude of the rotational moment (Gr) of the housing 131. Further, the nut 19 is placed in an adjusted position so that the frictional force does not decrease due to loosening of the nut 18 due to the rotation of the data display section 13.
It is for fixing.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the operator 2
0 performs the operation by appropriately adjusting the elevation angle of the data display section 13 to an optimal angle according to the operating posture such as standing or sitting, and the physique. Furthermore, even if there is screen reflection due to illumination from indoor lighting, the angle of the data display section 13 is finely adjusted to an elevation angle at which screen reflection does not occur.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a mounting piece is provided on the main body of the device equipped with a data display section for displaying information, operating procedures, etc.
The casing of the data display unit is attached to the mounting piece so that it can rotate freely near the center of gravity of the casing and remains stationary at an arbitrary elevation angle with respect to the mounting piece due to the frictional force between the mounting piece and the casing. As a result, the data display section can be freely rotated, and the visible range of the data display section can be changed depending on the posture and physique of the operator.

Furthermore, since the elevation angle of the data display section can be adjusted to any continuous angle, the elevation angle of the display section can be finely adjusted so that the illumination from indoor lighting is not reflected on the screen.
