JPH0682237B2 - Image processing device with handle - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus such as a copying machine, a printer, and a facsimile machine, and more particularly to a portable type image processing apparatus that can be carried by holding a handle. It is a thing.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of image processing apparatus, for example, a copying machine, there are some cases in which a handle is carried around. However, these handles are attached to a side surface different from the tray 3, such as a handle A shown in FIG. 6, or a narrow handle B is attached above the tray 3.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in these methods, the tray 3 is used when the apparatus main body is transported.
On the other hand, it is impossible to prevent an unexpected force applied from the side or the front, and since the tray is generally thin and not strong, there is a risk of damage during transportation. Further, when the handle and the tray are on the same side, the handle B must be near the edge of the side of the device due to the space limitation.
The main body of the apparatus that is carried while holding the handle B was in a standing posture, and the stability was poor and it was difficult to hold.

[Structure for Solving Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the gist thereof is as follows. That is, in an image processing apparatus having a carrying handle, a tray provided in the vicinity of the sheet carrying-in port or the sheet discharging port of the apparatus body is provided on the same side surface as the handle for carrying the apparatus body, and the tray is the above-mentioned. The image processing device with a handle is provided within a range of the handle in the width direction.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The tray 3 for supporting the sheet at the first position when the sheet P is inserted into the sheet carrying-in port 2 of the image forming apparatus body 1 is folded upward when the apparatus body is not used, such as when carrying the apparatus body. It is attached so that two positions can be selected. Further, feet of a handle 4 for carrying the apparatus body 1 are rotatably attached to both sides of the sheet carrying-in port 2 so as not to hinder the extension of the tray 3 when the apparatus is used, and a stopper is attached to the apparatus body 1. It is configured to be fixed with.
At this time, the handle 4 does not extend beyond the width of the apparatus body 1 in the height direction.

In FIG. 2, the sheet P is fed from above the tray 3 to the main body 1 of the apparatus.
The image is formed on the surface of the sheet, and then discharged from the discharge port 12 onto the tray 10. Tray 10 is 2 here
It can be folded in stages, and the foot 11 has a handle 4
This is to protect the folded tray 10 and to stabilize the apparatus main body 1 when standing up with the side up. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the tray 3 is folded up, the handle 4 is raised, and the apparatus main body 1 is erected for carrying.

The tray 3 is provided within the range of the handle 4 in the width direction, and conversely, the handle 4 protects the tray 3 by straddling the folded tray 3.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The handle 4 provided in a slide type is provided when the device body 1 is installed and used.
It is stored in the device as shown by the solid line, and when it is transported, it is pulled out and used as shown by the broken line. At this time, the tray 3 is folded upward as in the first embodiment of FIG. 3 and is housed between the slide portions on both sides of the handle 4.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. The handle 4 is raised and the apparatus main body 1 is stood up and is in a posture for carrying, and the handle 4 is also in the form of storing the tray 3 between the leg portions 4a on both sides thereof. The tray 3 of this embodiment can be folded in half at the position of the fulcrum 3a and has the same structure as the tray 10 of FIG.

In each of the above embodiments, the combination of the tray for the sheet carry-in port and the handle has been described, but even if these forms are applied to the tray for the sheet carry-out port, they can be applied as they are.

Further, in each embodiment, an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine or a printer has been described as an example, but the same configuration can be applied to an image reading apparatus such as a facsimile machine for carrying in and out of a sheet, and thus is widely applicable to the present invention. It is used in an image processing apparatus.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, by using the configuration of the present invention, the tray can be protected by the handle when the apparatus main body is transported, and the tray can be prevented from being damaged by an external force. Further, since the handle can be comfortably provided at a position including the center of the side surface of the device body without interfering with the tray, the device can be transported in a well-balanced state.
