[Structure] A hole for a power switch provided in a side wall portion of a base cover 2 of a printer main body, guide ribs provided on both sides of a back surface of the power switch hole 6, and detachably provided on the guide rib. In the printer switch fixing device including the plate member for mounting the power switch, the concave and convex portions are provided on both side end portions of the plate member 3, and the guide rib is provided at a predetermined position on the rear end portion in the insertion direction of the plate member. And an embossed portion 4 that abuts on the side.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a printer switch fixing device, and more particularly to a printer switch fixing device suitable for fixing a power switch.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional power switch fixing structure of a printer has a structure in which a sheet metal 53 having a power switch is inserted into a groove of an L-shaped rib 7 provided on a base cover 52 from above. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 56 indicates a square hole for a power switch.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this conventional power switch fixing structure, since the flat metal plate 53 is simply inserted into the pair of L-shaped ribs 57 of the base cover 52, the metal plate 53 is easy to come off and rattles easily. Therefore, when the user operates the switch. There was an inconvenience that it gave a sense of anxiety and gave a cheap image.

[0004]

[The purpose of the device]

 The present invention improves the disadvantages of the conventional example, and in particular, effectively prevents rattling of the plate member for fixing the switch, and thereby improves the operability of the switch portion by a printer switch fixing device. The purpose is to provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, a power switch hole is provided on the side wall of the base cover of the printer body, guide ribs are provided on both sides of the back side of the power switch hole, and the guide rib is detachably mounted. In the printer switch fixing device including the plate member for mounting the power switch, an uneven portion is provided at both end portions of the plate member, and a guide rib is provided at a predetermined position at the rear end portion in the insertion direction of the plate member. The embossed portion that comes into contact with the side is provided. In this way, the above-mentioned purpose is achieved.

[0006]

[Action]

 A plurality of embossments are provided in the groove formed by the L-shaped ribs, and a plate member having saw teeth on the side surface is press-fitted to make the fitting of the L-shaped rib and the plate member tight, thereby making it easy. The structure allows for secure fixing without rattling.

[0007]

[Example of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 indicates a printer body. A hole 6 for a power switch is provided in a side wall portion of the base cover 2 of the printer body 10. A pair of guide ribs 7 are provided on both sides of the back surface of the power switch hole 6. A plate member 3 for attaching a power switch, which is detachably attached, is attached to the guide rib 7. . Reference numeral 1 indicates an upper cover in the printer body 10.

Sawtooth-shaped uneven portions 5 are provided at both end portions of the plate member 3. Further, embosses 4 and 4 are provided at the upper end portion of the plate member 3 in FIG.

This will be described in more detail. In FIG. 1, two L-shaped ribs 7 are provided on the front wall of the base cover 2 to form a groove for fixing the plate member 3. The plate member 3 is provided with saw teeth 5 on its side surface and is press-fitted into the L-shaped rib 7.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. The plate member 3 is inserted into the L-shaped rib 7 of the base cover 2 from above. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view after the plate member 3 is inserted. When the plate member 3 is inserted into the L-shaped rib 7 of the base cover 2, the embossing 4 on the upper surface of the plate member 3 fits into the upper portion of the groove formed by the base cover 2 and the L-shaped rib 7.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the side surface of the plate member is provided with the saw teeth and the embossing is provided at the rear end of the insertion side so that when the rib is inserted into the L-shaped rib of the base cover, the embossment and the saw tooth are press-fitted. Thus, it is possible to provide a practical printer switch fixing device which has not been hitherto practical, in which the rattling is prevented and the switch is firmly fixed so that the operability of the switch portion can be improved.
