Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The invention has an external open cover that can be opened and closed, and the space within the main frame is divided into a printing mechanism section and a storage space for printed recording paper. This case relates to a facsimile case equipped with an internal open cover that can be opened and closed, and is particularly used for facsimile machines used in small, dusty environments such as inside automobiles.

(Prior art) As a conventional device of this type, in the facsimile device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-8285 shown in Fig. 5, the recording paper is printed inside the case and then sent out outside the case. The paper is stored on the paper holder 51.

Further, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-31702 discloses a cassette-type facsimile receiving device that has a paper tray 61 and a paper tray 62 as shown in FIG. 6 and uses cut paper. .

(Problems to be solved by the invention) When installing a facsimile device in a relatively narrow space such as inside a car, it is difficult to provide a paper stand outside the case. In this case, it is not desirable for safety to provide a protruding member.

Furthermore, when using continuous paper, there are various restrictions in terms of its replacement and maintainability.

Furthermore, when a conventional facsimile machine is installed in a dusty environment, there is a problem that dust may enter the printing mechanism, causing a failure or malfunction.

Therefore, in this invention, not only the unprinted recording paper is stored in the case, but also the printed recording paper is stored so that the storage status can be visually checked from the outside, and it is easy to replace and replenish the recording paper. An object of the present invention is to construct a case that is capable of printing and has a structure that prevents dust from entering the printing mechanism.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for solving the problem) The technical means taken to solve the above problem are:
A facsimile case consisting of a main frame and an openable external open cover, which is made of a highly transparent material so that the storage status of printed recording paper can be visually confirmed from the outside, and the main frame. An openable internal open cover that covers a printing mechanism unit including recording paper and a print head installed inside the printer, and an internal open cover that can be opened and closed, and is formed between the internal open cover and the external open cover, and is formed between the internal open cover and the external open cover, and the external and a recess for storing the printed recording paper sent out from one end of the inner open cover by winding it by the winding force of the printed recording paper itself.

(Function) Since the external open cover of the case according to the present invention is made of highly transparent material, it is possible to check the storage status of printed recording paper without opening the external open cover, and prevent dust from entering the case. It can be prevented. Furthermore, even when the external open cover is opened to take out printed recording paper, the internal open cover covers the unprinted recording paper and the printing mechanism, preventing dust from entering the printing mechanism. .

In addition, a recess is provided in the printed recording paper storage space, and when the leading edge of the printed recording paper reaches the recess, the recording paper is wound by the winding force of the recording paper itself and stored in a roll. Ru.

Also, by opening the internal open cover,
Recording paper rolls can be replaced and replenished.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a facsimile case according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the state when the internal open cover is opened.

The following description will be made based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

At the top of the facsimile case, an external open cover 1 made of a highly transparent material is rotatable around a pin 11 disposed on an exterior frame 3 so that the storage status of recorded paper can be viewed from the outside. A handle 2 for opening and closing the external open cover 1 is fixed to the tip of the external open cover 1.

An internal open cover 6 that divides the printing mechanism section and the printed recording paper storage space 10 and covers the printing mechanism section.
is rotatably attached to the exterior frame 3 around a pin 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, inside the internal open cover 6, a mandrel 15 is removably supported by a V-shaped groove provided in the exterior frame.
Furthermore, a recording paper roll 9 is loosely fitted around the shaft 15. Further, a motor 4 for feeding the recording paper is provided, and the rotation of the motor 4 is transmitted to the platen 8 by a transmission means (not shown), so that the platen 8 rotates. The recording paper taken out from the bottom end of the roll paper is held between the thermal head 7 and the platen 8, and when the platen 8 rotates, the recording paper is opened from the inside through the gap provided between the cutter 5 and the end of the internal open cover 6. When the leading edge of the printed recording paper reaches the recess 10 of the print storage space after being fed out of the cover 6, the recording paper is wound by the winding force of the recording paper itself and stored in a roll.

The thermal head 7 is screwed to a handle 14 that swings up and down about a pin 13 provided on the exterior frame 3. When setting the recording paper, the handle 14 is rotated using a handle (not shown) to create a gap between the thermal head 7 and the platen 8.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing how the printed recording paper is taken out. After opening the external open cover 1 and taking out the recording paper stored in a roll, the recording paper is cut by a cutter 5. Since the internal open cover 6 covers the printing mechanism even when the external open cover 1 is opened, dust and the like hardly enter the printing mechanism.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view depicting the situation when the recording paper roll 9 is replaced. After opening the outer open cover 1 and the inner open cover 2, the mandrel 15 is taken out and replaced with a new recording paper roll 9.

[Effect of idea]

The facsimile case of this invention not only has a structure that prevents dust from entering the facsimile printing mechanism even in dusty environments such as inside a car, but also has excellent sound insulation properties.
It also has the effect of reducing the noise level when the facsimile machine operates.

Further, it is also possible to achieve the effect that the printed recording paper can be completely protected.
