Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the structure of a delivery section for controlling the paper delivery direction of a printer.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the main parts of a conventional printer-equipped terminal of this type. In FIG. 1, 1 is the main body of the terminal device, 2 is the operation surface of the main body 1 of the terminal device, 3 is a printer installed vertically in the main body 1 (indicated by a broken line),
4' is a guide cover, 4'a is a print paper delivery hole provided in the guide cover, and 6 is configured like a print paper. The printed paper 6 arbitrarily sent out from the provided printed paper delivery hole 4'a naturally falls onto the operating surface 2 and is then accumulated around the operating surface 2. Therefore, the printing paper 6 is limited to one direction.
However, since the printed paper 6 is accumulated on the front operation panel, operational inconveniences arise. Another disadvantage is that the mounting arrangement of the operating section is limited.

The present invention eliminates these conventional drawbacks by providing another guide cover on the front surface of the print paper delivery guide cover, thereby making it possible to vary the print paper delivery direction. An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main part showing an embodiment of the printed paper delivery structure of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional side view thereof. In FIGS. 2 and 3, 1 is the main body of the terminal device, 2 is the operation surface of the main body of the terminal device 1, 3 is the printer installed vertically, 4 is the first guide cover,
4a is a guide hole with a printing paper cutting function provided in this guide cover 4, 4b is a support shaft on which the guide cover 4 is attached to the main body 1 so that it can be opened and closed upwards, and 4c is a locking function part of the guide cover 4. , 5 is a second guide cover made of a see-through material that is disposed opposite to the front surface of the first guide cover 4 at an appropriate interval, and 5a is a gap or hole in this guide cover 5 for sending out prints. So, main body 1
The printing paper 6 is provided above the paper 6 and transported backward (in the direction of the arrow). 5
Similarly, reference numeral 5c is a support shaft on which the guide cover 5 is attached to the main body 1 so that it can be opened and closed upwardly, and 5c is a lock function portion of the guide cover 4. Note that 6a is the printing surface of the printing paper 6, and the locking functions of the first and second guide covers 4 and 5 are usually fixed by utilizing the elasticity of plastic.

In this way, the printing paper 6 is sent out from the printer 3 and inserted into the guide hole 4a of the first guide cover 4.
, and hits the second guide cover 5, and rises along the inner wall of the second guide cover 5 due to the curl of the printing paper 6 or the shape of the guide hole 4a.
It is sent out from the gap or hole 5a provided on the upper surface of the second guide cover 5 to the outside of the main body 1 and further to the rear.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, when the second guide cover 5 is tilted forward and opened, the printed paper 6 that has passed through the guide hole 4a of the first guide cover 4 is transferred to the opened second guide. It is sent out along the cover 5 and accumulated on the front side of the device body 1.

In this way, by providing the second guide cover 5 in an openable and closable manner on the front surface of the first guide cover 4, the feeding direction of the print paper 6 can be controlled according to the usage situation. Furthermore, since the second guide cover 5 of the printed paper 6 is made of transparent resin, for example, the printed paper 6 can be visually checked during use.

In the above embodiment, the second guide cover 5 is tilted forward and opened. However, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7,
A similar effect can be obtained even if the support shaft 5b is provided so that the second guide cover 5 opens in the left or right direction.
In the figures, the same parts as in FIGS. 2 and 3 are given the same reference numerals. That is, as shown in the figure, the printed paper 6 printed by the printer 3 is sent out in the direction of arrow A, and passes through the guide hole 4 of the first guide cover 4.
It is controlled by the second guide cover 5 via a and sent out in the direction of arrow B.

At this time, the state of the printed paper can be visually checked through the transparent second guide cover 5 on the printed surface printed by the printing unit of the printer 3. The printed paper 6 that has passed through the guide cover 5 is sent out in the direction of arrow C from the gap 5a. Also, the second
When the guide cover 5 is opened (see FIG. 7), the objects are accumulated around the operating surface 2 as before. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 7, a metal piece 5d may be attached to the back surface of the second guide cover 5 as the lock portion 5c, and the metal piece 5d may be fixed to the magnet 8 fixed to the main body 1 by suction. Of course, other materials such as ball catch or magic tape (registered trademark) may also be used. Also, when cutting the printing paper 6,
With the second guide cover 5 unlocked, cutting is performed using the cutting function portion 4a ₁ of the guide hole 4a of the first guide cover 4.

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, not only can the feeding direction of printed paper be controlled, but also the condition of the printed paper can be confirmed during normal use, so it can be used to great effect in various terminal devices equipped with printers.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] In the structure of the printed paper delivery section of a communication terminal device with a built-in printer, a hole corresponding to the printed paper delivery section of the printer on the front of the main body of the terminal device and a paper cutting function provided in the hole. one of the first guide covers can be opened and closed by a spindle attached to the terminal device main body, and the other of the first guide covers has a space between the terminal device main body and the terminal device main body. At the same time, one of the second guide covers that can be seen through and is arranged opposite to the first guide cover at a certain interval is attached to the front surface of the first guide cover. The second guide cover is installed with a lock function so that it can be opened and closed by a support shaft independent of the support shaft of the second guide cover, and the other end is locked between the second guide cover and the main body of the terminal device, and a printing paper is placed above the second guide cover. A structure for a printed paper delivery unit of a communication terminal device, characterized in that a hole or a gap is provided for sending out printed paper to the rear, and the printed paper is discharged through between a first guide cover and a second guide cover.
