Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize passing of final original at transmission in the facsimile equipment with stop of a music and to recognize passing of final recording paper at reception with stop of another music. CONSTITUTION:A magnetic tape 17 on which a music is recorded is wound to an end of a recording roller passing recording paper from a recording paper roll 10 under a thermal head 13 and an audio head 18 is provided adjacent to the tape to reproduce the music at the drive of the recording roller 16.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device that uses music to signal the end of facsimile transmission and reception.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a reading section of a conventional facsimile machine. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates side frames located on both sides of the facsimile machine. 2 is a paper feed roller attached to the side frame 1 by a bearing (not shown); 5 is an image sensor attached to the side frame 1 via mounting brackets 3 and 4; 6 is the same as the paper feed roller 2; This is a reading roller attached to the side frame 1. Further, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the recording section, and in the figure, 9 is a recording paper storage box in which a recording paper roll 10 is stored, and 13 is a recording paper storage box that is attached to the side frame 1 via mounting brackets 11 and 12. thermal head,
16 is a recording roller attached to the side frame by a bearing (not shown), 14 is a recording paper cutter device, and 15 is a delivery roller attached to the side frame 1 like the recording roller 16.

Next, the operation will be explained. In the reading section, a document inserted in the direction of arrow A is conveyed to the reading position by a paper feed roller 2, and while the document is conveyed by an image sensor 5 and a reading roller 6, its contents are read, stored in memory, and sent to the other party. Send the contents to. When the transmission to the other party is complete, an electronic circuit sends a signal to a buzzer attached to the board. The recording section records the content received from the other party on a recording paper roll 10 while being conveyed by a thermal head 13 and a recording roller 16. When recording is completed, the recording paper is cut by a recording paper cutter device 14, and then transferred to a delivery roller 15. to remove it from the equipment. Then, just like when transmitting, an electronic circuit sends a signal to the buzzer.

0004

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional facsimile machine as described above, when sending a document, even after reading the entire document and storing it in the memory, the buzzer does not sound until the transmission to the other party is completed. do not have. Another problem was that it was difficult to tell the difference because the end signal was the same buzzer sound during both transmission and reception. The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to know that the entire document has been read in the case of sending by stopping the music, and also to be able to tell when the original has been completely read in the case of sending and receiving. The purpose is to be able to differentiate the end signals using different music.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A facsimile device according to the present invention has a magnetic tape on which music is recorded mounted on a part of one side of a reading roller and a recording roller, and an audio head for reproduction is arranged on a side frame. It is something.

[0006]

[Operation] In the present invention, only when the reading roller and recording roller are rotating, the audio head plays back the magnetic tape attached to each roller, and as a signal to signal the end of transmission and reception. Each plays different music.

[0007]

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment on the reading side, and 1 to 5 are completely the same as the conventional device. 7 is a magnetic tape attached to a part of one side of the reading roller 6, and 8 is an audio head for reproduction attached to the side frame 1. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment on the recording side. 9-15
is exactly the same as the conventional device. 17 is a magnetic tape attached to a part of one side of the recording roller 16, and 18 is an audio head for reproduction attached to the side frame 1. In the facsimile machine configured in this manner, when reading a transmission document, the reading roller 6 rotates, and the audio head 8 reproduces music recorded on the magnetic tape 7 attached to the reading roller. Similarly, when recording a received document, the recording roller 16 rotates, and the audio head 18 reproduces the music recorded on the magnetic tape 17 attached to the recording roller. Thereby, the end of transmission and the start and end of reception can be known by the melody.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the main parts of another embodiment of the present invention, in which a music box device 20 is attached to a side frame 1, and several protrusions 20A are provided on one side of the reading roller 6 and recording roller 16. As in the previous embodiment, music can be played by rotating the reading roller 6 and the recording roller 16. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, compared to the above-described embodiment, no improvement is required in terms of electrical control, and the same effect can be obtained at a lower cost.

[0009]

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a structure in which a magnetic tape on which music is recorded is attached to a part of one side of the reading roller and the recording roller, and an audio head for reproduction is arranged on the side frame. In some cases, it is possible to know when the document has been completely read, and also to be able to distinguish the end signals for transmission and reception by using different music.
