Furthermore, an original loading port 6 is provided to the front face of the facsimile equipment 1 in a form of passing under the telephone set mount part 3 and an original width adjustment guide 7 to guide an original into the facsimile equipment 1 is provided to the original loading port 6 in response to the width of the original.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a facsimile device that transmits and receives image information via a public telephone line using a telephone.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in a facsimile machine that transmits and receives image information using a telephone connected to a public telephone line, the facsimile machine shown in Fig. 4 (
As shown in a), a facsimile device 24 is installed adjacent to the telephone 23, or as shown in FIG. The device 24 is arranged to be housed vertically.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with the above-mentioned conventional facsimile machine, it is necessary to secure a space for installing the facsimile machine in addition to the space for installing the telephone, and the problem is that the space efficiency is very poor. Also, in order to store and arrange the telephone and facsimile device one above the other, it is necessary to specially install a new telephone stand (or facsimile stand), etc., which increases the cost of equipment etc. related to the installation of the facsimile machine. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and provides a facsimile machine in which a telephone and a facsimile machine can be installed efficiently in terms of space without using a special telephone stand (or facsimile stand) or the like. The purpose is to provide the following.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The facsimile device of the present invention is a facsimile device that transmits and receives image information via a public telephone line using a telephone, and the telephone is mounted on the upper part of the housing of the facsimile device. The above object is achieved by providing a telephone mounting section for the purpose of the present invention.

[Function] With the configuration of the present invention described above, a telephone can be directly mounted on the upper part of the housing of a facsimile machine.

Embodiment J FIG. 1 is an external view showing the installed state of a facsimile machine and a telephone set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A telephone mounting portion 3 is provided on the upper part of the housing of the facsimile device 1 so that the telephone 2 can be directly mounted on the facsimile device 1. It has a size that covers approximately the entire upper part of the machine, and a start/copy switch 4 and a stop switch 5 for facsimile operation are provided at one end of the plane of the receiver. Further, a document insertion slot 6 is provided on the front of the facsimile machine N1 in such a manner that it slides under the telephone holder 3, and a document is inserted into the facsimile machine 1 into the document insertion slot 6 according to the width of the document. A document fine adjustment guide 7 is provided to guide the user.

Furthermore, a roll paper cassette 8 for holding a roll of recording paper is provided at the rear of the facsimile machine 1, and supplies the recording paper into the facsimile machine 1.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line XX' in FIG. 1.

Inside the facsimile machine 1, there are provided a reading unit 9 for reading originals, a recording unit 10 for recording received images and copies of scanned originals, and other circuit boards (not shown). There is. The reading unit 9 includes a light source 11 for irradiating the original, and a CCD board 13 that transmits reflected light from the original through a lens 12.
The recording unit 10 includes a reflection mirror 14, 15, 16 that guides the document, and a document conveyance roller 17 for conveying the document. The thermal recording head 18 is supported by a recording paper (not shown).
and a platen roller 19 for conveying. In addition, this reading unit 9 and recording unit 10
The facsimile machine 1 is constructed to be as thin as possible, and each is arranged horizontally parallel to the image scanning line direction, thereby making it possible to make the facsimile machine 1 thin and approximately flat. The facsimile device 1 can be configured in a shape that allows the facsimile device 112 to be easily mounted thereon. There are a reading unit and a recording unit 10 on the back side of the telephone mounting section 3.
The document guide section 20 is formed so as to form a document conveyance path over the upper part of the facsimile apparatus 1, and the document conveyance path can be efficiently secured without changing the size of the facsimile machine 1 into a four-type facsimile machine. A document transport roller 17 is configured to come into contact with this document guide 20 . Further, a document/recording paper ejection port 21 is provided at the rear upper end of the facsimile device 1, and a document/recording paper ejection port 21 is provided which shares the ejection port for originals and recording paper. By configuring the recording paper to be installed externally using the cassette 8, the facsimile apparatus 1 is configured to have a thin and planar shape.

FIG. 3 is an external view of a facsimile machine that is an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3(a) shows the above-mentioned phone rest 3 in a closed state, and Fig. 3(b) shows it in an open state. For example, if a document jams, etc.,
By lifting the protrusions 22a and 22b formed on the telephone set portion 3 as shown in FIG. 3(b), the document conveyance path is opened. In this way, the telephone rest 3 is configured to double as the top plate of the casing of the facsimile machine M1, and in this respect as well, it is possible to make the facsimile machine thinner. According to the present invention, a telephone mounting section for mounting a telephone is provided on the upper part of the housing of the facsimile machine,
Since the telephone can be mounted directly on the top of the facsimile machine's housing, the telephone and facsimile machine can be installed in a space-efficient manner without using a special telephone stand (or facsimile stand). It will be done.
