An information communication device is known in which a dustproof cover 5 that can be opened and closed is provided on the upper surface of the. The dust-proof cover 5 covers the document insertion opening 2 and the document table 3 to prevent invasion of dust, dust and the like in the closed state shown by the chain double-dashed line 5 ', and at the position shown by the solid line during transmission. The opened document can be used as a document table for supporting the long document 6. Further, in the opened state, it can also be used as a recording paper tray on the receiving path.

[0003]

However, in such a structure, there is a problem that the dust-proof cover must be opened regardless of whether the original 6 is a single leaf or a multi-leaf when the original is transmitted, which is troublesome. Further, when it is attempted to use this apparatus as a wall-mounted type, it is extremely difficult to open the dust-proof cover and set a document, and there is also a problem that the wall-mounted type cannot be used as it is.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to perform transmission with the dustproof cover closed.
Another object is to provide an information communication device that can be used as a wall-mounted type.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an openable dustproof cover which is attached so as to cover the document insertion opening on the upper surface of the main body of the apparatus and the document table when the dustproof cover is closed. The dust cover is arranged so that a space for inserting a document is formed between the rear end of the dust cover and the document table.

[0006]

According to the present invention, with the above-described structure, even when the dustproof cover is in the closed position, there is a gap for inserting the document with the document table. Therefore, the document is transmitted by inserting the document through the gap. be able to. Also, when transmitting a long original or a plurality of originals, the original can be used as an original table by opening the dustproof cover. Furthermore,
As described above, since the original can be transmitted with the dust cover closed, this can be used as a wall-mounted type.

[0007]

1 is a schematic sectional view showing an information communication apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention with a dustproof cover closed, and FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view thereof. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, 11 is the main body of the apparatus, and the document insertion opening 12 is formed at the center of the upper surface thereof.
However, the document table 14 with the document guide 13 behind it,
Further, a recording paper discharge port 15 is formed behind it, and an operation panel surface 16 is provided at the center of the front end of the upper surface. Inside the main body 11 of the apparatus, there are provided a transmission unit 18 for reading and transmitting a document 17 inserted from the document insertion port 12, and a reception unit 20 for recording received information on a recording paper 19 and discharging it from a recording paper discharge port 15. ing.

A dustproof cover 22 is provided on the upper surface of the apparatus main body 11 at a position to cover the document insertion opening 12 and the document table 14. The dust-proof cover 22 is swingable around a support shaft 23, and can be moved between a closed position shown by a solid line and an open position shown by a chain double-dashed line 22 '. Further, the dust cover 22 in the closed position has a rear end 22a and the document table 14
It is formed in such a shape that a space 24 for inserting a document is formed between the and. Further, as can be seen from FIG. 2, the dustproof cover 22 has a shape capable of exposing the operation panel surface 16 even in the closed state.

The operation of the information communication apparatus configured as described above will be described below. When the frequency of reception is low, the dustproof cover 22 is set to the closed position as shown by the solid line in FIGS. As a result, the document insertion port 12 and the document table 14 are covered, and dust and dirt are prevented from entering from the outside. It should be noted that there is a gap 24 between the document table 14 and this, but this is small, so there is no problem. Further, when the dust cover 22 is closed, there is no member protruding upward from the apparatus, so that a small space is not required. When received in this state, the recording paper 19 recorded by the receiver 20 is sent out from the recording paper discharge port 15 located behind the dustproof cover 22.

Next, when transmitting a single-sheet original, the original 17 is inserted through the gap 24 at the rear end with the dustproof cover 22 closed and inserted into the original insertion port 12. This enables transmission without opening the dustproof cover 22. When transmitting a plurality of documents, the dustproof cover 22 is opened to the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line 22 '. As a result, the dustproof cover 22 is in a state of standing diagonally behind the document table 14, so that the dustproof cover 22 is used as a document table,
A plurality of documents are set on the document table 14 and the dustproof cover 22 behind it. Thus, a plurality of documents can be automatically fed and transmitted.

The dustproof cover 22 is opened at the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line 22 'even when the frequency of reception is high, even though the dust is not transmitted. Then, the recording paper 19 discharged from the recording paper discharge port 15 is deposited on the dustproof cover 22. Therefore, the dustproof cover 22 can be used as a recording paper tray. When the dust-proof cover 22 is used as a recording paper tray in this way, the received recording paper can be easily taken out.

FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the information communication apparatus having the above-mentioned structure is used as a wall-mounted type. The information communication apparatus is attached to the wall 26 by an appropriate means so that the document discharge port may face downward. ing. In this state, if the dust cover 22 is to be opened, the dust cover 22 must be opened upward, and even if the dust cover 22 is opened upward, it cannot be kept open because it is closed immediately by its own weight. Since the document 17 can be inserted through the gap 24 even when the document 22 is closed, the document 17 can be transmitted without any trouble. For this reason,
Can be used as a wall-mounted type without any problems.

[0013]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, an openable / closable dust-proof cover mounted so as to cover the document insertion port and the document table on the upper surface of the apparatus main body is protected from dust when the cover is closed. By arranging so that there is a gap for inserting the document between the rear edge of the cover and the document table,
Even when the dustproof cover is in the closed position, you can insert a document by using the gap for document insertion between the document table and send it, which simplifies the operation and also enables you to use it as a wall-mounted type. Has the effect.
