Description

The present invention relates to a receiving tray for receiving a received image used in a facsimile machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of receiving tray is generally made in accordance with the installation of a facsimile device. That is, the receiving tray used for horizontal placement is a horizontal placement type, and the receiving tray used for vertical placement is a vertical placement type, which is a single-function type.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The receiving tray according to the above-mentioned conventional technology is determined depending on the device such as horizontal placement or vertical placement, and since it is not considered to be changed depending on the arrangement space of the customer or the usage, it is a device that is very difficult for the customer to use. Was there.

An object of the present invention is to provide a receiving tray that can be used horizontally or vertically and can be selected by a customer depending on the installation space, installation location, usage, etc.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is that one side (front side or concave side) of one main receiving tray can be used horizontally and the other side (back side or convex side) can be used vertically. This is achieved by forming the reception tray into a dogleg shape and providing ribs for preventing the lateral displacement of the reception image on both sides.

[Action]

It is convenient to use the concave side of the V-shaped main receiving tray as a horizontal placement type and the convex side as a vertical placement type, and change the mounting method accordingly to satisfy the functions of both types. be able to.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of a receiving tray and its mounting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the receiving tray 7 is composed of a main receiving tray 8 and a sub receiving tray 9. The main receiving tray 8 is generally made of a plastic mold and has a substantially V shape. The internal angle of the dogleg is 130 ° ± 20 °, which is good for both horizontal and vertical use.

The main receiving tray 8 is detachably attached to a receiving tray attaching tool 51 provided in the recording paper discharge port 6 of the facsimile apparatus 1 including the receiving unit 3, the operation unit 4, and the like. That is, both ends of the receiving tray 51 are substantially L-shaped and mounting ports 52, 52 'are formed, and the main receiving tray 8 is also provided with convex portions 53, 53' to be fitted therein. The receiving tray can be attached to the facsimile apparatus 1 by engaging the two with each other.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an essential part when the receiving tray of the present invention is placed horizontally, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an essential part when the receiving tray of the present invention is placed vertically.

Both sizes of the front side 10 and the back side 11 of the main receiving tray 8
Ribs 12, 12 'to prevent lateral deviation of the received image on a position slightly wider than the receiving paper (not shown in the drawing) on both sides of
Are provided, and the protrusions 52, 53 'for mounting are formed outside the ribs 12, 12'. A plurality of reception image cling prevention ribs 13 and 13 'are provided between the reception image lateral displacement prevention ribs 12 and 12 and between the reception images 12' and 12 '.

In the inbox of the present invention, the front side 10 of the main inbox is
It can be used horizontally by mounting with the top face up, and can be used vertically by mounting it with the back face 11 facing up.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numerals 54 and 55 are stopper portions when the main receiving tray is mounted on the receiving tray mounting member 51, and the position thereof is the main receiving tray having a substantially dogleg shape. Whether the side 10 or the back side 11 is mounted on the upper side, the horizontal and vertical degrees of the main receiving tray 8 are determined to be appropriate angles. Reference numeral 56 is a rib for the paper guide provided on the receiving tray mounting member 51, which is a rib for preventing sticking.
It is formed to be slightly higher than 13,13 '.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a main part of the receiving tray of the present invention, and illustrates a situation in which the sub receiving tray 9 is attached to the main receiving tray 8 in a horizontal use state.

In the case of this embodiment, the sub reception tray 9 is made of a steel wire having a spring property, and the U-shaped tip portion 18 is bent at an angle substantially the same as the internal angle of the main reception tray having a substantially V shape. is doing. The rear end portion 19 is bent and the front end portion 15 is formed in a key shape so as to be attached to the attachment hole 14 of the main receiving tray 8 as described later. The rear end
19 is bent so as to have bent portions 20 and 20 'because this folded portion serves as a receiving paper receiving portion when used in vertical writing.

Mounting holes 14 and 14 'for mounting the sub reception tray are formed near the tip of the main reception tray. This mounting hole 14
Has a hole 16 and a hole 17 which are longer than the entire length of the tip portion 15 of the sub reception tray 9 and have a key shape as shown in the drawing.

The width of the bent portions 20 and 20 'of the sub receiving tray is made slightly wider than the width of the mounting holes 14 and 14' of the main receiving tray 8, and due to the springiness of the sub receiving tray 9, the mounting holes 14 and 1 '
It is designed to be held in 4 '. FIG. 5 shows the sub-inbox 9 when used in the horizontal use state shown in FIG.
FIG. 7 is an attachment explanatory view showing a state of engagement between a front end portion 15 and an attachment hole 14 of the main reception tray 8. Tip 15 is mounting hole 14
Fit as shown by the arrow.

6 and 7 are perspective views showing a method of mounting the sub-reception tray 9 when the reception tray of the present invention is used vertically as shown in FIG.

When the receiving tray is used vertically, the main receiving tray 8 is mounted with the back side 11 facing upward and the sub receiving tray 9 is mounted in the opposite direction to that shown in FIG. By doing so, the curved portion of the front end portion 18 of the sub-reception tray 9 becomes parallel to the curved portion of the main reception tray having a substantially dogleg shape, and effectively guides the receiving paper. Further, the bent portions 20, 20 'of the rear end portion 19 serve as receiving paper receivers.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show the case where the receiving tray of the present invention is mounted on the main body in a horizontal position and a vertical position.

As shown in FIG. 8, when used horizontally, the receiving unit 3
The received image (not shown) coming out from the outlet section 6 of the above is smoothly accumulated along the paper guide rib 56 on the receiving tray attachment 51 and the rib 13 on the front surface side 10 of the main receiving tray 8. . In this case, the sub reception tray 9 can be detached and used depending on the length of the received image. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when used vertically, the received image is deposited on the received image receiving portions 20, 20 'along the rib 13' on the rear surface side 11 of the main receiving tray 8. Although the weight 21 is shown in FIG. 9, this is to prevent the received image from scattering by giving an appropriate frictional force to the received image.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, one receiving tray can be used for both horizontal placement and hanging type (vertical placement), so it can be used according to the usage situation such as usage space, number of received images, etc. Since it is effective and has a simple structure, it is possible to provide a reception tray which is inexpensive and has good operability and which has a large practical effect. Furthermore, the receiving tray is divided into a main receiving tray and a sub receiving tray, and the sub receiving tray can be used horizontally or vertically. Yes, the practical effect is doubled.
