Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to recycle a packaging material of a recording cartridge by providing the packing material of the recording cartridge with a member for connecting a printing recording device with the installation site. SOLUTION: Adhesive double coated tape is kept stuck on a packaging material of a recording cartridge. The user cuts out a fixing member from the packaging material of the recording cartridge in a desired size. One double adhesive tape of the cut-out fixing member is stuck to the printing recording device, and the other one to the installation plane of the printing recording device, such as a desk. Accordingly, the packaging material of a recording cartridge, which has been disposed of, can be reused as a fixing member as a countermeasure for an earthquake.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaging material for a recording cartridge used in a printing / recording apparatus and a printing / recording apparatus using the packaging material.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a recording cartridge packaging material used in a print recording apparatus has been used exclusively for physical distribution and sales, and after the content recording cartridge is taken out from this packaging material, it is simply discarded. There was no use to.

On the other hand, the print recording apparatus itself does not have a means for fixing it at its installation location.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following drawbacks. That is, the packaging material for the recording cartridge was discarded after the recording cartridge for the contents was taken out.

On the other hand, since the print recording apparatus does not have a fixing means, there is a problem that it may be moved or dropped from the installation place when an earthquake occurs. Also, in order to fix this, the user
There was also a problem in that a fixture for the purpose of slicing the object to be fixed and the desk etc. had to be prepared separately.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a first object thereof is to reuse a packaging material for a recording cartridge which has been conventionally discarded.

Further, a second object of the present invention is to provide a user with a means for fixing the print recording apparatus to the installation place, in the print recording apparatus itself.

[0008]

In order to achieve each of the above objects, a first aspect of the present invention relates to a packaging material for a print recording cartridge, for example, a print recording apparatus such as a double-sided adhesive tape is installed at a location. It is characterized in that a member for connection is provided.

The second invention of the present application is characterized in that a means for fixing the print recording apparatus to the installation location is provided as a measure against earthquakes and the like.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the invention as described above, the packaging material of the print recording cartridge is cut into a shape that serves as a fixing member for the print recording apparatus, and the connecting member such as a double-sided adhesive tape is used. As a result, it can be reused as a fixed member for earthquake countermeasures.

Further, according to the second aspect of the invention, by connecting the fixing member according to the first aspect of the invention to a structure portion for connecting a fixing member such as a hook to the print recording apparatus, a print recording is performed. The device can be easily fixed to a desired installation place.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
A detailed description is given based on several examples:

[0013]

【Example】

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a schematic external perspective view showing the features of the first embodiment according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a print recording device, 2 is a fixing member, and 3 is a double-sided adhesive tape. The double-sided tape 3 as a connecting member is attached to the back surface of the fixing member 2 and can be attached to the print recording device 1 and the installation surface (such as a desk) of the print recording device 1.

FIG. 2 is a schematic external perspective view of the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge.

The fixing member 2 in FIG. 1 is cut out from the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge in FIG. The double-sided adhesive tape 3 is attached to the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge. In FIG. 2, a total of four double-sided adhesive tapes 3 are attached, but it is sufficient that the size of the adhesive tape 3 is a certain size or more. The user cuts out the fixing member 2 from the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge to a desired free size. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, one of the print recording devices 1 provided with the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is attached to the other surface of the print recording device 1 (for example, a desk).

(Second Embodiment) FIG. 3 is a schematic external perspective view (corresponding to FIG. 2) of the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge of the second embodiment. 6 is a perforation. A feature is that the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge is provided with perforations 6 so that the fixing member 2 can be easily cut from the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge. In FIG. 3, four double-sided tapes 3 are attached, but as with the first embodiment, any number of double-sided tapes 3 may be used as long as they are two or more.

(Third Embodiment) In the first and second embodiments, the double-sided tape 3 was previously attached to the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge, but in the third embodiment, Although illustration is omitted, the double-sided adhesive tape 3 as a connecting member is not attached, and an adhesive cloth or an articulator tape (registered trademark: “magic tape” that is substantially the same as the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is attached. ") And the like are supplied to the user at the same time as the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge. The user attaches the "magic tape" (registered trademark) or the like to both the object to be fixed and the fixing member 3. This allows the user to freely select the position of the connecting member according to the installation situation.

(Fourth Embodiment) FIG. 4 is an explanatory view (a) of the fourth embodiment. In the first and second embodiments,
The fixing member 2 has a form in which a pair of double-sided adhesive tapes 3 are pasted, but in the fourth embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 3 is pasted on one end side, but on the other side. Is not attached, and has a structure in which the tip 2b is inserted into the clearance 2a provided in the fixing member 2 to form a ring shape. Reference numeral 5 is a hook member provided on each side surface of the print recording apparatus 1.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the fourth embodiment (b).
An example of the shape of the fixing member 2 cut out from the packaging material 4 of the recording cartridge is shown. FIG. 6 shows its form after assembly. In the explanatory view (c) of the fourth embodiment, since the double-sided tape 3 is provided on one end of the fixing member 2,
The side is attached to a desk or the like, and the other side is passed through a hook member 5 provided on the side surface of the device 1 as shown in FIG. 4, and then fixed.

Further, as in the third embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tape 3 may not be provided in advance, and the "magic tape" (registered trademark) or the like may be attached to the user.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to reuse the packaging material of the recording cartridge, which has been discarded in the past, and it is possible to provide the user of the printing / recording apparatus with a fixing means such as an earthquake countermeasure.
