Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a workbench installed next to an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in offices and stores, work benches and desks are often installed close to the main body on the side of the copier, which has the paper ejection section. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the conventional work table for a copying machine installed in this manner. In this conventional example, a four-legged workbench 1 having a paper discharge tray 2 in the middle stage is arranged side by side in close contact with the side portion (left side in this example) of the copying machine 3. Reference numeral 4 is a contact glass on which a document is placed.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another example of a conventional work table for a copying machine. The workbench 5 in FIG. 7 is provided with a discharge tray 6 as a separate body and is arranged between the workbench 5 and the copying machine 3.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, in the case of FIG. 6, since the upper part of the paper discharge tray is covered with the dot plate, it is not possible to easily visually confirm the paper that has come out to the paper discharge tray. Further, in the case of FIG. 7, since the workbench cannot be disposed adjacent to the copying machine, there is a problem that space utilization efficiency is poor.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a workbench for a copying machine in which the workbench can be placed in close contact with the copying machine while facilitating visual confirmation of the discharge tray.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a transparent part on a part of a work plate adjacent to a copying machine and a part of a front side of the worktable arranged adjacent to the copying machine. I try to kick it.

Further, in order to facilitate the radiation of the heat generated from the paper discharge section, the transparent section can be made removable.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above-mentioned means, the transparent portion provided at the position adjacent to the copying machine on the work plate can visually recognize the paper discharge portion located below the transparent portion from above. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the paper discharged from the paper discharge unit, and it is possible to improve the space efficiency and the work efficiency.

Further, by allowing the transparent portion to be freely removed, it is possible to dissipate the heat accumulated in the lower portion, and it is possible to exert a heat dissipation effect.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a workbench for a copying machine according to the present invention.

The workbench 7 shown in FIG. 1 is a part of a top plate 8 as a work plate (a front corner portion near the copying machine 3, for example, about half the depth of the top plate 8 and the width thereof). A transparent portion 9 (for example, transparent glass, transparent plastic, etc.) in which 1/3 of the area is transparent is provided so that the discharge tray 10 arranged in the middle stage of the workbench 7 can be seen from above. It is a thing. Further, the transparent portion 9 can be removed, and the heat generated from the paper discharge portion can be released when the transparent portion 9 is removed.

As described above, by providing the transparent portion 9, the workbench 7 can be arranged in a state of being attached to the side portion of the copying machine 3, and the paper discharge tray 10 can be secured through the transparent portion 9. Can be recognized.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the workbench for a copying machine according to the present invention.

In contrast to the above-described embodiment having a desk shape and having only the discharge tray as an accessory, this embodiment allows not only the discharge tray but also various accessories to be attached to the workbench. It is characterized by a structure that enables multipurpose use.

In the workbench 11 of this embodiment, a skeleton is a two-pillar metal center pole 12, the lower part of which is bent into an L shape, and a recycle box 13 is provided on the upper surface of the horizontal part. A panel 12b is mounted between the center poles 12 and attached. The recycle box 13 has a shape close to a rectangular parallelepiped, and is used for stocking lost or useless paper and making it easy to recycle, but it also has a function to prevent the center pole 12 from swaying. . The inside of the recycle box 13 has a space for storing a cardboard box, and when the stocked paper is filled, the cardboard box can be handed over to a recycler. In addition, there is a horizontally long opening at the top, through which you can throw in waste paper. Furthermore, a shredder for cutting the paper into small pieces can be installed in this opening.

On the upper part of the recycle box 13, a work plate 14 is attached to the center pole 12 in a horizontal position at the same height as the contact glass 4 of the copying machine 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the work plate 14 has transparent portions 14b which are made transparent and are provided at the corners near the copying machine 3, and as shown in FIG. 4, the storage box 15 has the same height as other portions. A notch is provided in the work plate 14 so that The work plate 14 is used for binding or cutting the copied paper, and a large curve is formed on the front surface on the opposite side of the transparent portion 14b, and the width becomes smaller toward the end portion to balance the weight. It can be taken.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, two arms 14a are provided so as to project from the rear portion, and one recess is provided at the lower portion. On the other hand, the pins 12a are erected horizontally in a zigzag manner on the inner facing surface of the center pole 12, and the upper surface of the arm 14a is locked to the pin on the back side so that the concave portion of the arm 14a fits on the front pin. The working plate 14 is held horizontally by the fitting. The height of the work plate 14 can be adjusted in units of the vertical distance between the pins 12a.

Adjacent to the recycle box 13, the above-mentioned storage box 15 with a two-stage front door is arranged, and toner for replenishment or the like is stored inside. The storage box 15 is provided with four casters at the bottom and can be moved freely. The upper surface of the storage box 15 can also be used as a workbench. In particular, while the work plate 14 is heavy, the storage box 15 can bear a considerable weight.

Further, an operation box 16 is attached to the center pole 12 so as to be located above the work plate 14. The operation box 16 is provided with a switch for lighting, a power outlet for supplying power to the conductive stapler and the conductive sharpener, and a printer connector for using the machine as a printer when online with a personal computer. The connectors and outlets are covered to prevent dust and other particles from adhering.

A supply box 17 is attached to the center pole 12 above the operation box 16. The supply box 17 is used to store staples, cellophane tape, clips for bookbinding and design work. On the upper part of the operation box 16, three trays 18 are attached to the center pole 12. The tray 18 is used for temporarily storing and placing copied paper, originals, recording paper sent by facsimile, and the like. Further, on the upper part of the tray 18, a lighting stand 19 is attached to the center pole 12 at a height of about 180 cm from the floor. The lighting stand 19 is used for design work and the like.

As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to efficiently carry out various operations associated with the copying operation. Since the transparent portion 14b is provided as in the above-described embodiment, the state of the paper discharge portion can be confirmed from above, and the work on the work plate 14 is not hindered.

[0022]

【The invention's effect】

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

In the workbench for a copying machine according to the first aspect, since the transparent portion is provided on the front side of the work plate adjacent to the copying machine, the workbench is arranged side by side in the copying machine and the state of the paper discharge portion is maintained. Can be visually confirmed.

Further, in the workbench for the copying machine according to the second aspect, since the transparent portion is removable, it is possible to form a path for dissipating the heat of the paper discharge portion.
