Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the number of components and to securely drive a shutter by rotating and moving the shutter part directly associatively with rotary movement. CONSTITUTION:An opening/closing cover 102 can rotate on a rotary shaft 105 and is rotated by the rotary movement. An optical box 101 has a laser light source, a rotary mirror, etc., inside and a laser beam after varying operation is projected from the optical box 101. Then the shutter part 108 extends long at right angles to this paper surface and is rotatable on the rotary shaft 101 and movable. Therefore, when the opening/closing cover 102 is opened, a cam shaft 111 of the same member and the shutter 108 are released from being pressed directly associatively with the opening/closing cover 102, so the shutter 108 rotates around the rotary shaft 110 as the center of rotation through the operation of a coil spring 109 which presses the shutter 108 until the shutter abuts on the abutting part of the optical box 101. In this state, the projection light beam 106 is cut off and not projected.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a laser beam printer or an optical reading device, the front surface of the device is closed by a front door so that the laser light does not leak outside during operation. However, the door is often opened while the main switch is being input, such as when removing paper jams (paper jams) for operation, maintenance, and inspection. In such a case, when the door is opened by an interlock switch such as a micro switch, the input of the high voltage power source drive unit, laser, etc., which may be dangerous to the human body, is electrically cut off. .

There is a problem that there is a risk of injury. In addition, at the time of maintenance and inspection, the operation of the device may be inspected with the door open so that the interlock switch is not intentionally operated. In such a case, a harmful laser beam or 2
It is necessary to prevent externally generated reflected beams and the like from leaking to the outside.
