Therefore, when selling the roll paper for printing, it is necessary to tie the roll paper holder together or to purchase the roll paper holder separately. Therefore, there is a problem that not only the manufacturing cost of the roll paper and the roll paper holder but also the selling price thereof increases. Therefore, a roll paper storage box that can be used as a holder for supporting the roll paper during use has been proposed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
The roll paper storage box proposed by No. 957 or No. 5-9958 of Kaikaidaira has the following problems.

In the above-mentioned first conventional example, a long shaft longer than the width of the roll paper is used, and the long shaft always supports the roll paper regardless of whether it is used or transported. Therefore, it is necessary to mold the shaft and the box together with a material and a shape having a strength considerably higher than the minimum strength required for use. As a result, their manufacturing costs and selling prices are high. Furthermore, the long axis of the roll paper penetrates the hollow core, and both ends of the long paper project from both ends of the roll paper. Therefore, it is difficult to wrap the roll paper with a member (for example, a protection sheet) for protecting the roll paper from environmental changes in temperature and humidity. On the other hand, if such packaging is omitted, there is a problem in that the quality of the paper is deteriorated during inventory in a distribution warehouse, a store, or the like, which leads to deterioration in print quality.

The second conventional example requires a shaft having a complicated shape that can be expanded and contracted. Therefore, an elastic member (for example, a spring) is provided in the shaft, and a plurality of cylindrical or cylindrical members having different diameters are required, which not only complicates the manufacturing process and raises the manufacturing cost, but also the sales. The price will also increase.

In the third conventional example, in order to wrap the roll paper with the protective sheet and allow the support shaft member to be housed together in the box body, the first or second conventional example is required. It needs to be much larger than the size of the box. Therefore, the cost for manufacturing the box and the cost for disassembling the support shaft member increase. Also, when used, a fairly large gap is created between the box and the roll paper,
There is a problem that the roll paper and the box are not properly positioned. Further, unless the support shaft member is housed in the box together with the roll paper, there is a large possibility that the support shaft member will be lost when it is not used for printing.

The spindle members of the first, second and third conventional examples are arranged so as to be substantially concentric with the central axis of the roll paper, and the outer peripheral surface of the spindle member and the roll paper. It is considered that the gap between the hollow core and the inner peripheral surface does not hinder the rotation of the roll paper. Such a structure
It must be manufactured with high dimensional accuracy. This is because, for example, when the shaft center of the support shaft member is provided with a slight inclination with respect to the longitudinal surface of the box body (when it is not parallel), the roll paper supported by this support shaft member also has the same inclination. Will be stored in the box. as a result,
If the inner wall of the box or the supporting surface of the support shaft member and the end surface of the roll paper are close to each other, the edge of the roll paper may contact the inner surface of the box and the roll paper may be damaged. Also, the rotation may be defective during printing. In such a case, since the roll paper is not conveyed regularly, a trouble occurs in which a plurality of lines are repeatedly recorded at the same location on the roll paper.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and supports the roll paper support shaft member for printing, in which the positioning of the word processor and the roll paper and the rotation of the roll paper during printing can always be performed smoothly. Provided is a printing roll paper storage box having a support shaft member, a recording device having the storage box as one of the recording material supply means, and an information processing system such as a word processor or a fucksimili device having the recording device as an output means. The purpose is to

[0019] Preferably, the pair of support shaft members have axes at or near a point intersecting with a longitudinal centerline of the storage box on the support member when the roll-shaped paper is suspended in the box body. , One of the support shaft members is opposed to the other support shaft member and is rotated by 180 degrees so that the support shaft members are superposed. This makes it possible to minimize the size when they are overlapped with each other and to minimize the storage space for the support shaft member.

Preferably, the height of the base portion is equal to or larger than the difference between the height of the shaft portion and the height of the base portion. Accordingly, when the support shaft members are opposed to each other and overlapped with each other, the escape of the shaft portion can be formed.

Preferably, at least one marking is provided on the edge of the positioning portion or in the vicinity thereof. This facilitates positioning.

Preferably, a lateral position regulating means for regulating the longitudinal position of the roll-shaped paper inside the storage box is provided. This makes it possible to regulate the left-right deviation of the rolled paper and prevent the sheet member from being separated.

Preferably, the predetermined material comprises a thermoplastic, preferably high impact polystyrene. This facilitates processing.

Next, in the method of manufacturing the above-mentioned support shaft member, the support shaft member of the roll-shaped paper according to the present invention is a sheet material made of a predetermined material in order to easily and economically manufacture the support shaft member. It is characterized by including a step of forming the support shaft member by vacuum forming.

Preferably, the predetermined material comprises a thermoplastic, preferably high impact polystyrene, for ease of processing.

The roll-shaped paper storage box according to the present invention does not require a long shaft that penetrates the roll-shaped paper, and in order to make the storage space of the support shaft member small, the support shaft member is used. It is characterized in that it has a box body to be housed and a lid section which covers the opening of the box body so as to be openable and closable.

Preferably, the pair of support shaft members are detachably housed in both ends of the box body. As a result, the support shaft member can store the rolled paper in such a manner as to sandwich the rolled paper.

Preferably, the pair of support shaft members are removably housed in one end portion of the box body in a stacked state. As a result, the storage space can be further saved.

Preferably, the locating portion is formed of an edge portion of the positioning portion, and is arranged at the predetermined position by abutting the edge portion on at least three side surfaces of the box body. As a result, the size of the support shaft member can be made smaller than the size of the end surface of the box body, and the support shaft member can be made even more compact.

In the second roll-shaped paper storage box according to the present invention, the support shaft member is integrated with the box body. That is, a box body having a roll-shaped paper including a hollow cylindrical core portion and a sheet member wound around the core portion, and both end portions formed with a shaft portion for rotatably suspending the roll-shaped paper. And a lid portion that covers the opening of the box body so as to be openable and closable, so that the user does not need to align the support shaft.

As a result, the roll-shaped paper is not unevenly arranged in the box body, so that the size of the box body itself can be reduced.

Preferably, a base is provided in which at least a part of the end of the box is raised, and at least the shaft is on the base. Therefore, it is possible to suspend the roll-shaped paper by the shaft portion and regulate the left-right deviation of the roll-shaped paper by the end surface of the base portion.

Preferably, there are provided left and right position restricting means for determining the positions of both ends of the roll-shaped paper in the box. This makes it possible to regulate the left-right deviation of the rolled paper and prevent the sheet member from being separated.

Preferably, the outer peripheral surface of the roll-shaped paper is placed in a state of being separated from each side surface of the box body when the roll-shaped paper is suspended. As a result, the roll-shaped paper is smoothly rotated.

A method of accommodating a roll-shaped paper and a support shaft member according to the present invention is a storage method for accommodating the above-described novel support shaft member and roll-shaped paper in a storage box. For effective use, the roll-shaped paper and the pair of support shaft members are housed in a box body independently of each other.

Preferably, in order to facilitate packaging, the roll-shaped paper is provided separately from the pair of support shaft members.
Wrap it alone.

Preferably, in order to minimize the space for accommodating the support shaft member, the pair of support shaft members are opposed to each other, and one support shaft member is rotated 180 degrees about the center point or the vicinity thereof. By doing so, the step of superposing, the step of abutting one surface of the pair of superposed support shaft members on one end side in the box body, and the step of adjoining the pair of support shaft members abutting the one end And a step of placing one end surface of the roll-shaped paper and the support shaft member so as to face each other in the void.

Preferably, at the time of printing, the shaft portion of the support shaft member is fitted into the core portion of the roll-shaped paper, and the longitudinal position of the roll-shaped paper is determined by the base of the support shaft member. By accommodating the roll-shaped paper in the box body in a regulated manner, the roll-shaped paper is positioned in the box body in the longitudinal direction. This prevents the roll-shaped paper from rattling to the left and right beyond the set range and prevents the sheet material from being separated.

In the recording apparatus according to the present invention, the above-mentioned novel roll-shaped paper storage box is used as one of the recording paper supply means, and the recording means for recording the input image information by ejecting ink droplets onto the sheet member. It is characterized by having. Therefore, it is possible to easily supply the recording paper and reduce the space required for supplying the recording paper. Further, since the sheet member is stored in the storage box, there is no fear of soiling the sheet member when not in use.

An information processing system according to the present invention uses the above-mentioned novel recording device as an output means. Therefore,
The space required for supplying the recording paper can be reduced. Also, since the sheet member is stored in the storage box,
No need to worry about soiling the sheet material when not in use

[0045]

The roll-shaped paper including the hollow cylindrical core and the recording paper wound around the core is suspended from both ends of the roll-shaped paper by the shafts of the pair of support shaft members. At this time, the extension line of the rotation axis of the roll paper intersects with the center of both end surfaces of the box body or the vicinity thereof. Therefore, the roll-shaped paper, which is rotated by pulling one end of the roll-shaped paper, rotates about the center line passing through the longitudinal direction of the box body or its vicinity as if it were the rotation axis.

The outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion contacts the inner surface of the core portion to suspend the roll-shaped paper. At that time, the roll-shaped paper is rotated during the rotation of the roll-shaped paper or the rotation of the roll-shaped paper due to the provision of the base portion or the left-right position regulating means, or preferably the tapered shaft portion. It is placed at a predetermined position along the axial direction of the strip paper.

When the roll-shaped paper and the support shaft member are separately housed in the box, the roll-shaped paper can be easily packaged. Therefore, it is possible to wrap only roll-shaped paper with a protective sheet at the time of sale or transportation,
Further, both the support shaft member and the box body can be made with the minimum strength required for printing, not the strength required for sale or transportation. Further, since the support shaft members can be overlapped with each other by forming the shaft escape portion into which the shaft portion is inserted, the storage space in the box body can be minimized. In such a superposed state, the strength is increased as compared with the case of a single item, so that it is preferable at the time of sale or transportation.

Since the long shaft that penetrates the core of the roll-shaped paper is not required, the material cost can be kept low. When not used for printing at the time of sale or transportation, etc., the shaft parts of the pair of support shaft members are combined with the shaft escape parts of the other shaft member and housed in a box together with the roll-shaped paper. In this case, the shaft of the support shaft member is inserted into the hollow core of the roll-shaped paper, and the base of the support shaft member stores the roll-shaped paper in the box so as to regulate the width direction of the roll-shaped paper. Accurate positioning of the roll paper in the width direction. Further, the roll-shaped paper and the support shaft member can be efficiently stored in the box body both when in use and when not in use, and the possibility of losing the support shaft member when not in use can be reduced.

Since the support shaft member is a molded product obtained by vacuum forming using a sheet material made of thermoplastic resin, preferably high impact polystyrene, it has high rigidity and strength, has a smooth surface, and has dimensions. High stability, low warpage, and high heat resistance and chemical resistance. Further, since such a molded product is thin and rigid and can be easily obtained in large numbers, it can be produced at low cost.

Further, when the support shaft member and the box body are integrated, the roll-shaped paper storage box is shipped with the roll-shaped paper set on the production site. Therefore, it becomes unnecessary for the consumer to set the roll-shaped paper or the support shaft member in the box body. In such a case, by providing the base member or the left and right position regulating means on the support shaft member, the positional deviation of the roll-shaped paper in the box body is minimized,
Prevents the recording paper from becoming dull during the transportation process from product shipment to the hand of the consumer, or during use.

The recording apparatus preferably uses the electrothermal converting element as an energy means for ejecting ink. Therefore, the recording means using the electrothermal conversion element as the energy generating means can generate bubbles in the ink of the liquid path in a one-to-one correspondence with the driving electric pulse signal, and also can immediately and appropriately grow and grow the bubbles. Since contraction can be performed, particularly highly responsive ink droplet ejection can be achieved. Further, the recording means can be easily made compact, and the advantages of IC technology and microfabrication technology, which have been remarkably improved in technology and reliability in the recent semiconductor field, can be fully utilized, and high-density mounting is easy. This is advantageous because the manufacturing cost is low.

Abut. As a result, the printing roll paper is suspended by the shaft portion, and the printing roll paper is in a state of being pivotally supported almost in the center of the box body 1 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, when one end of the roll paper 2 is pulled into the set word processor 4, the roll paper 2 can be rotated in the box 1 without being subjected to an undue load, so that the printing position accuracy can be kept good. Specifically, the deviation between the rotation axis RC of the roll paper 2 and the center EC of the end face of the box body is within 0 to 3 mm. With such a structure, the box size can be made as small as possible.

On the other hand, at the time of sale / distribution, the roll paper 2 wrapped in the protective sheet is stored close to one side in the box body 1, and the shaft portion 3 of the one support shaft member 3 is stored in the remaining space.
