Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a printer cabinet particularly suitable for a printer-integrated electronic device such as a laptop personal computer or a word processor, and more specifically to a printer cabinet having a storage section for a power cord. Is.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Many electronic devices such as laptop word processors have an internal power source such as a battery inside, and many power cords such as AC cords can be removed to enhance portability. . Therefore, when storing or carrying the equipment, the cord was wrapped around the equipment body or removed from the equipment and stored separately.

FIG. 8 is an external view of such a conventional printer cabinet, FIG. 8 (A) is a plan view, and FIG. 8 (B) is a right side view. In the figure, (104) is a printer unit, (105) is a printing paper insertion port, and (106) is a printing paper ejection port.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if the power cord was removed from the main unit of the device and stored in a different location, the power cord might be lost or accidentally left unattended when using the device, resulting in poor usability. .

The printer cabinet of the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a printer cabinet in which a power cord can be stored in the cabinet.

[0006]

A printer cabinet according to the present invention includes a printer having an insertion port or an ejection port for printing paper, a printer cover for covering the insertion port and the ejection port, and the insertion port or the ejection port. It is characterized in that it comprises a recess provided in the periphery, the opening of the recess is covered by the printer cover, and the power cord is housed in the recess.

[0007]

[Action]

 Since the power cord is stored in the recesses provided around the printer's insertion port and discharge port, the cord can be stored inside the cabinet. Further, since the recess is covered with the printer cover like the insertion port and the ejection port, it is possible to prompt the user to use the power cord when using the printer which requires a lot of power.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the case where the printer cabinet of the present invention is adopted in a laptop word processor will be described as an example.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a word processor adopting a printer cabinet of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a plan view and FIG. 1B is a right side view.

In the figure, (1) is a word processor main body cabinet, (2) is a liquid crystal display section, (3) is a keyboard section, (4) is a printer section, (5) is an insertion port for printing paper, and (6) ) Is an outlet for printing paper, (7) is a paper cover, (8) is a paper feed knob, (9) is a paper holding knob, (10) is a printer cover, (11) is a printing paper insertion opening (5). Is a power cord storage portion (recessed portion) provided adjacent to and parallel to the rear of

FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the printer unit (4), and (12) and (12) are hinges for attaching the printer cover (10).

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line XX, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line YY. In the figure, (13) is a floppy disk drive, and (14) is various printed circuit boards such as a power supply board. In this embodiment, the cabinet (1) is not enlarged. In order to provide the power cord storage section (11), the components such as the disk drive (13) and the circuit board (14) are arranged in the depth direction in a stacking method, that is, the circuit board (14) and the like are arranged in a printer ( 4) Make it as deep as possible so that it is as deep as possible.

FIG. 5 is a ZZ diagram showing a state in which the power cord (15) is stored in the storage portion (11). The shape of the storage section (11) can store small accessories other than the power cord, and can also store ink ribbons, rulers, writing instruments, floppy diskettes, and the like. Further, since the opening of the storage section (11) is provided on the upper surface of the cabinet (1), it can be stored and taken out easily.

In this embodiment, the storage section (11) is arranged at the rear center of the printer section (4), but this position may be arranged at the left and right ends or the front section.

As described above, according to the printer cabinet of the present embodiment, the power cord (15) is stored in the storage portion (11) provided behind the insertion port (5) of the printer (4). Since the code (15) can be stored in the word processor main body cabinet (1), and further the storage section (11) is covered with the printer cover (10) that covers the insertion opening (5) and the discharge opening (6), It is not necessary to provide a separate lid for the storage section (11), and it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of parts. Further, since the printer cover (10) is always opened when the printer is used, it is possible to prompt the user to use the power cord, especially at the time of printing requiring a large amount of power. Therefore, the user can easily drive the printer by receiving the external power supply using the power cord at the time of printing, and the printing may be disabled due to the battery exhaustion. Can be prevented.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are cross-sectional views of a main part showing another embodiment. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the power storage part (16) is provided on the back surface of the cabinet (1), and FIG. This is an example in which the part (17) is provided on the bottom surface of the cabinet (1), and the openings of the storage parts (16) and (17) are closed by the lids (18) and (19).

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the printer cabinet of the present invention, it is possible to provide the printer cabinet in which the power cord can be stored in the cabinet.
