[Structure] On the upper surface 1a, the side surface 1b, etc. of the apparatus main body 1, a holding tool composed of a clip 6 and a hook for detachably holding a manuscript or memo P1, an attached or related document P2, or a writing tool is provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 In a facsimile machine installed in a limited space such as a table, it is often convenient to be able to send and receive originals and memos sent to the top or side of the main body of the machine. For example, it is common to temporarily place the transmission document on the main body of the device when it is necessary to temporarily leave the installation site for some reason after bringing the transmission document to the installation site of the facsimile machine. .. Also, in offices and the like, it is common practice to attach a memo attached to the main body, which contains a message message about an unreceived manuscript. However, in the current facsimile machine, since the main body of the apparatus does not have an appropriate means for holding the originals and memos, the originals temporarily placed on the main body often fall and scatter around. There is.

In addition, around the main body of the device, attached documents (instruction manual, warranty, etc.) of the device, related documents (one-touch, speed dial list, etc.) or writing instruments (pen, memo paper, etc.) should be provided. Although it is convenient to do so, the current facsimile machines do not have suitable attachment means, so they have to be stored and housed in another place, so that supplementary documents and related documents can be stored when necessary. Is missing or causes the inconvenience of having to go and pick up the writing instruments in a remote location.

The present invention focuses on these problems in the present situation, and proposes a facsimile apparatus in which the main body of the apparatus is provided with a function of holding an original document, attached documents and the like.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In a facsimile apparatus based on the present invention, as a means for solving the above problems, the apparatus body is provided with a holding tool such as a clip or a hook for detachably holding an original or memo, attached or related documents, or a writing tool. There is.

[0006]

[Action]

 If the main body of the device is provided with a holding tool, the holding tool allows the originals and memos to be held irremovably on the top and side surfaces of the main body when necessary. It is possible to keep the attached or related documents and writing utensils around the main body of the device by hanging it in the holding device.

【Example】

 1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a popular type facsimile apparatus F.

The facsimile apparatus F includes an apparatus main body 1 and a handset 2 mounted on a bracket attached to one side of the main body 1, and the upper surface 1 a of the apparatus main body 1 faces from the front side to the back side. An operation panel 3, a document mount 4 for setting a transmission document, and a mount cover 5 which is openable and closable before and after forming an extension guide of the document mount 4 in an open state (two-dot chain line in the figure).

In this facsimile apparatus F, a manuscript, attached documents, etc. are attached to the upper surface 1a of the apparatus main body 1, specifically, the outer surface of the mount cover 5 and the side surface 1b opposite to the handset 2 as the main body cover. Each clip 6 is provided as a holding tool for holding it so that it can be inserted and removed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the clip 6 rotatably rotatably supports a clip body 6a of a wire bent in a gate shape by holders 6b and 6b fixed to the body cover at both ends thereof. A winding spring 6c for urging the clip body 6a downward is wound around the shafts at both ends, and is movably mounted on the body cover as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG.

FIG. 1 also shows the clip usage state of the facsimile apparatus F in which the clip 6 is provided on the upper surface 1a and the side surface 1b of the main body. That is, when it is desired to temporarily put the above-mentioned originals or memos P1 on the main body 1 by inserting them into the clip 6 provided on the upper surface 1a of the main body, they are held stably without fear of falling off. Can be done. Also, the attached or related documents P2, etc. can be kept in the vicinity of the main body 1 by sandwiching them in the clip 6 provided on the side surface 1b of the main body, and immediately used when necessary. be able to.

In addition, if necessary, the clip 6 can be provided on the front surface 1c of the apparatus body 1 as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. Further, in the case of the illustrated example, the clip 6 provided on the upper surface 1a of the main body can be provided on the inner surface of the mount cover 5 which can be freely opened and closed. It should be noted that the form and mounting structure of the clip 6 are not limited.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the holder provided in the main body 1 of the apparatus, in which the hook 8 sucked by the suction cup 7 is provided on the side surface 1b of the main body. In this case, the hook 8 is suitable for hanging and attaching a writing implement P3 such as a memo paper or a pen as shown in the illustrated example. Of course, the attached or related documents P2 and the like may be hung.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, since the holders such as clips and hooks are provided on the outer periphery of the main body of the apparatus, the following conveniences can be achieved.

When temporarily placing originals or memos on the upper surface or side surface of the main body of the apparatus, it is possible to stably hold the originals and memos, and the originals are naturally dropped or blown by wind. There is no need to worry about falling off and scattering.

It is possible to keep them attached to the peripheral side of the main body of the equipment by holding the equipment attached or related documents and writing instruments with a holder provided on the side surface of the main body of the equipment, etc. Thus, it is possible to promptly and accurately deal with, for example, a case where it is desired to confirm an operation method, a case where it is necessary to take a memo at the time of sending and receiving, or a request for various maintenance.
