Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the facsimile equipment with a dust-proofing effect and installability and to provide the portable compact facsimile equipment with satisfactory portability and operability by utilizing a freely movable transmitting paper sheet tray. CONSTITUTION:In the case of transmission, a freely movable the transmitting paper sheet tray 2 is opened so as to reveal the entire manipulation part. In the case of carriage and reception, the transmitting paper sheet tray 2 is closed so as to reveal only a received paper sheet eject port 6 and to cover the other parts. Further, since the transmitting paper sheet tray 2 is formed suitably for a main body 1, a transmitting paper sheet inserting port 2, transmitted paper sheet ejecting port 4, manipulation switch 5 and ten keys 7 can be respectively arranged on various faces.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional facsimile machines have been desk-top type facsimile machines in which the transmission paper tray always extends. There is also a rotatable tray that covers the numeric keypad, reception paper ejection port, transmission paper insertion port, and transmission paper ejection port. Note that related devices of this type include, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62
-43255 publication is mentioned.

0003

Conventional facsimile machines are desk-top type, require a large installation area because the tray is always protruding, and do not take dust into consideration. Also, items covered by a tray cannot be received unless the tray is always open in the receiving state. Furthermore, since conventional trays are plate-shaped, they can only cover functional elements arranged on a flat surface.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that uses a movable transmission paper tray and is dust-proof and easy to install, and a small portable facsimile device that has good portability and operability. It is in.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problem] At the time of transmission, the transmission paper insertion slot, transmission paper output port, reception paper output port, and operation switch are exposed, and except for transmission, the transmission paper insertion slot, transmission paper output port, and operation switch are exposed. The transmission paper tray is made movable so as to cover the switch, and the paper tray is curved or bent to fit the main body.

[0006]

[Function] By making the transmission paper tray movable, the mechanical parts necessary for transmission can be exposed during transmission, and only the reception paper ejection port necessary for reception can be exposed at times other than transmission. Furthermore, by adapting the shape of the transmission paper tray to the main body, the operation switch, transmission paper insertion slot, and ejection port can be arranged on different surfaces.

[0007]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the transmission paper tray 2 is attached to the main body 1 so as to be openable and closable with a shaft 8 as a fulcrum. Figure 2 when sending
When you open the transmission paper tray 2 as shown, the transmission paper insertion slot 3
, a transmission paper ejection port 4, an operation switch 5, a reception paper ejection port 6, and a numeric keypad 7 are exposed. Furthermore, when carrying and receiving data, as shown in FIG. 3, when the sending paper tray 2 is closed, only the receiving paper outlet 6 is exposed, and the rest can be covered, thereby providing a dustproof effect. Furthermore, by forming the transmission paper tray 2 into a shape that fits the main body, the transmission paper insertion slot 3, the transmission paper output port 4, the operation switch 5, and the numeric keypad 7 can be arranged on different surfaces.

[0008]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, since the transmission paper tray can be closed except when transmitting, space can be saved.
Also, it has a dustproof effect. It also reduces malfunctions when being carried around, improves handling, and has a design effect.
