Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled device which can smoothly and stably feed and reject transmitting originals, by installing the feeding section and reading section of the original in line and inclining the face on which those sections are installed against the bottom face of the device. CONSTITUTION:Originals to be transmitted 13 placed on the upper part of an inclined face 10a are fed one by one by a roller pair 11. When an original reaches a reading section located at the central part of the inclined face 10a, a fluorescent lamp 15 irradiates the original 13 through a window 18, and the reflected light from the original is introduced into a reading element 17 through a lens 16. Since the transmitting original 13 linearly passes on the inclined face 10a, the feeding, running and rejection of the transmitting original can be performed stably.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile device such as a transmitting/receiving type facsimile device or a sending only type facsimile device.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional facsimile transmitter includes a pair of rollers 2 and 3 for sending and feeding the original 4, and a pair of rollers 2 and 3 for sending and feeding the original 4.
A reading device comprising a pair of paper guide plates 8 for regulating the paper feeding direction, a reading window 8a provided on one side of the pair of paper guide plates 8, a fluorescent pair 5, a lens 6, and a line sensor 7, It was wrapped in an outer box 1, and only the document table 9 extended outward from the outer box 1. The transmission document 4 is fed from a document table 9, passes through a pair of rollers 2, a pair of paper guide plates 8, a pair of rollers 3, and is discharged from a paper discharge port 1a provided in the outer box 1.

However, in such a facsimile transmitter, the traveling path of the transmitted document 4 is curved in a substantially S-shape, and if the strength of the transmitted document is stronger than the feeding force of the document feeding mechanism, the paper feed may be delayed. There were drawbacks such as defects and poor ejection.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can stably transport a transmitted document.

A detailed explanation will be given below based on an actual example.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of an axial transmitter showing two embodiments of the present invention. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 is the outer box of the facsimile transmitter, and the upper surface thereof has an inclined surface 10a at an angle of 16 degrees or more with respect to the floor. Then, the slope 10a is moved so that the original to be transmitted 13 is run almost linearly on the slope 10a.
A pair of rollers 11 and 12 is provided in the middle of 0a. Reference numeral 14 denotes a guide plate that guides the movement of the transmission document 13. 16 is a fluorescent lamp; 16 is a lens; and 17 is a reading element. 18 is a reading window provided in the slope 10a of the outer box 10.

A cap 19 is detachable from the outer box 1o, and protects the roller pair 11, 12 and the guide plate 14, and maintains the external appearance.

The operation of the facsimile transmitter having the above configuration will be explained below.

First, place the transmission document 13 with the document image side down on the slope 10a.
be loaded on top of the The roller pair 11 rotates in opposite directions, and 1
Feed originals to be sent sheet by sheet. The transmission original 13 is guided and fed by the guide plate 14 and the slope 10a, and when the leading edge of the transmission original 13 reaches the window 18, reading of the document image side of the transmission original 13 is started. That is, the fluorescent lamp 16 illuminates the transmitted document 13 through the window 18, and the reflected light is collected by the lens 16 and converted into an electric signal by the reading element 17, thereby performing reading scanning. be exposed. This electric signal is processed by a circuit (not shown) and transmitted to the receiving side.

In this way, reading and scanning are performed sequentially, and the transmitted original 13
The roller pair 12 rotates until the rear end leaves the row 2 pair 12, and the transmission document 13 is ejected. When the rear end of the transmission document 13 separates from the roller pair 12, the slope 10
It slides down the a and is definitely ejected. If the angle is less than 15 degrees, the original may not be ejected due to the effects of friction, static electricity, etc. Therefore, it is desirable that the oblique angle be 15 degrees or more.

In this way, by adding a slope to the top of the facsimile transmitter,
Since the upper part of this slope is used as a document table, and the original to be sent travels linearly on this slope, feeding, running, and ejection of the original to be sent are stabilized.

Further, since there is no need to separately cover the document table as in the conventional case, it is economical, and the space required by the document table is not required, so that the space can be used efficiently.

Furthermore, since the entrance and exit of the transmission source 13 are straight and short, the leading edge of the transmission document 13 is immediately
' Since it comes out from the exit, it can give the operator of this facsimile transmitter a sense of security. Further, since the reading window 18 is provided directly on the outer box 10, the guide plate provided with the reading window as in the conventional case is not required, and the facsimile transmitter can be made smaller and lighter.

Although the above description describes one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment; for example, it goes without saying that the cap 19 may be constructed integrally with the outer box 1o. be.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, there is provided a slope attached to the upper surface of an outer box of a facsimile machine, a document feeding mechanism that linearly runs the transmission document on the slope, and Since it is provided with a window for reading the original and a reading mechanism for reading the transmitted original through this window, the traveling of the transmitted original can be stabilized. Further, it is also possible to reduce the size and weight.
