It looks like this.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a paper feed tray for a copying machine.

0002

[Conventional technology]

A conventional copying machine tray 11 is as shown in FIG. It is equipped with a paper feed guide plate 16 and can be attached to and detached from the copying machine.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the conventional paper feed tray 11 as described above, the paper feed tray 11 cannot be removed from the copying machine. When removing the paper feed tray 11, hold the front handle and lift the paper feed guide plate 16 as shown in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 4, it is difficult to open and carry, or as shown in Figure 4, there is a special case for the paper feed tray. When the paper tray 11 is stored in the dedicated case 13, the paper feed tray 11 is There were problems such as the paper feed guide plate 16 would open and be difficult to carry.

0004 Therefore, the purpose of this invention was to solve the problems of conventional paper feed trays as mentioned above. , when removing the paper tray from the copier or from the special case. A copy machine paper feed tray that can be held in a position where the paper guide plate does not open outward. It is on offer.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this invention has a middle plate on the rear side plate 9 of the tray body 2. A stopper 5 is provided on the lower surface of one end of the stay 3 which pivotally supports the stay 3, and when the stay 3 swings, It is characterized by being able to hold the paper feed plate 6 inside the tray body 2. It is something. Also, the other end of the stay 3 is always held on the pivot shaft 8 of the stay 3 to hold the paper feed guide. A biasing member that is biased towards the position is inserted.

[0006]

[Effect] In this invention as described above, when the paper feed tray 1 is taken out from the copying machine 12, In this case, the stay 3 is a coil attached to a pivot shaft 8 provided on the rear plate 9 of the tray main body 1. The lever spring 4 allows the stopper 5 to pivot until it comes into contact with the inside of the rear plate 9 of the paper feed tray 1. The stay 3 rotates clockwise around the support shaft 8, and the other end of the stay 3 moves to the top surface of the paper feed guide 6. and press down the paper feed guide plate 6. Also, when paper feed tray 1 is loaded in the copying machine 12, the copy The push plate 10 provided on the upper surface of one end of the stay 3 is pushed by the push pin 7 provided on the side of the camera 12. The other end of the stay 3 will rotate counterclockwise and move to a position where it will not interfere with paper feeding. Ru.

【Example】

This invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows this idea. FIG. In FIG. 1, the stay 3 is provided on the rear plate 9 of the tray body 1. A stopper 5 is provided on the lower surface of one end of the pivot shaft 8, and a paper feed guide plate 6 is provided on the other end. This is the part to hold down. In the embodiment of this invention, the stay 3 is always connected to the other end of the stay 3. A coil spring 4 is attached to the pivot shaft 8 in order to bias the paper feed guide plate 6 toward the position where it is held. is inserted, one end of which is attached to the pivot shaft 8, the other end is engaged with the stay 3, It is designed to generate torque that constantly rotates the stay 3 to the right. This above In the embodiment of the invention, the other end of the stay 3 is directed toward the position where the continuous paper feed guide plate 6 is held. The explanation has been given on the case where a coil spring is inserted into the pivot shaft 8 for biasing, but this example However, other biasing means may be used. Figures 1 and 2 show paper feed tray 1 from copying machine 12. is a diagram showing a state in which the stay 3 is taken out, and the stopper 5 of the stay 3 is on the tray body 2. It is rotated by the spring 4 until it comes into contact with the inside of the rear side plate 9 and stops. That and that The other end of the stay 3 moves to the top surface of the paper feed guide plate 6 and pushes the paper feed guide plate 6. hold. Also, when the paper feed tray 1 is loaded into the copying machine 12 as shown in FIG. A push plate provided at the top of one end of the stay 3 by a push pin 7 provided on the side of the copying machine 12 Press 10 and rotate the stay 3 to the left to remove it from the paper feed guide plate 6 and obstruct the paper feed. Move it to a position where it should not be.

[0008]

[Effect of the idea] This idea is as described above, and when the paper tray is removed from the copying machine, the The movable paper feed guide plate inside the paper tray is held by a stay, so the paper feed tray cannot be moved. The paper feed guide plate does not open even when carried, making it easy to carry. Also, if there is a dedicated case for the paper feed tray as shown in Figure 4, the paper feed tray is not attached to the case. When the tray is stored, whether it is placed vertically or stored, the paper feed guide plate opens in the same way as above. The effect is that it is easy to take in and out of the case and is easy to carry. be.
