Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily separate the accommodated position of an original which has ended transmission and that of a recording paper which has ended reception by shifting their accommodated position within such a range that the both overlap each other. CONSTITUTION:The width of an original 1 to be transmitted and that of recording paper 6 are determined by a segment 2a for a main readout scan and a segment 7a for a main recording scan. Those widths overlap each other in the flow direction of an original after transmission and recording paper 8 after reception, and their center points of the widths are shifted in the flow direction. The original 1 inserted as shown by an arrow A is ejected to a storage position 4 as shown by an arrow C1. The recording paper 6 advances as shown by an arrow B and is ejected to a position 4 as shown by an arrow C2. Then, an operator easily separates originals 5 and recording paper 8, taken out from the position 4, by gripping and pulling the both where they do not overlap each other.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a facsimile machine in which a transmitted original document and a received recording sheet are stacked and stored in the same place.

A conventional facsimile machine of this type has a copying structure as shown in the perspective view of FIG. According to this example, a transmission original 1 set on the top surface of the apparatus is inserted into the apparatus in the direction of arrow A, and is read at the position of the line segment 2a where the original reading main scan is performed by the original reader 2. The scanned original is sent in the direction of arrow C, and after being ejected through the ejection port 6,
The document is stored in the storage location 4 as the transmitted original document 5. On the other hand,
The reception recording paper wound on roll 6 is moved by arrow B when recording.
Unraveled in the direction of.

The recording is performed at the position of the line segment 7a where the recording main scan by the recording gutter 7 is performed. The recorded received recording paper is discharged through the discharge port 6 in the direction of arrow C.

It is stored in the storage location 4 as a reception completion record sheet 8. In this way, the transmitted originals 5 and the received recording sheets 8 are alternately stacked one by one in the storage space 4.

However, in the conventional facsimile machine as described above, the center point of the line segment 2a formed by the reading main scan and the center point of the line segment 7a formed by the recording main scan are Because they are almost coincident in the direction of flow.

As shown in FIG. 1, the transmitted original document 5 and the received completed recording paper 8 are stored almost completely overlapping each other, and the operator does not have to sort them to separate the transmitted original document 5 and the received completed recording paper 8. Of course the above troubles.

The disadvantage is that it wastes time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine that can easily separate the two by shifting the storage position of the transmitted original document and the received recording paper within the range where the two overlap. be.

The present invention provides for a facsimile machine that stacks and outputs transmitted original documents and received recording sheets in the same storage location, in which a line segment formed by the reading main scan of the transmission and a line segment formed by the recording main scan of the reception. The respective widths of the transmitted original document and the received recording paper partially overlap each other in the direction of flow of the transmitted original document and the received recorded recording paper, and the center points of the respective widths are shifted from each other in the flow direction. It is characterized by being configured.

Next, an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of an embodiment of the present invention. As seen in this figure, the difference from the conventional example shown in Figure 1 is that the respective widths of the transmitted original and the received recording paper are determined by the line segment 2a formed by the reading main scan and the line segment 7a formed by the recording main scan. However, the transmitted original document and the received recording paper partially overlap each other in the direction of flow.

In addition, the central points of each width are offset from each other in the flow direction. With this, arrow A
The transmission document 1 inserted in the direction is discharged to the storage space 4 as shown by the arrow C1. On the other hand, the received recording paper wound around the roll 6 is unwound and advances in the direction shown by the arrow B, and is discharged to the storage location 4 as shown by the arrow C2. According to such a configuration, the center point of the width of the transmitted document determined by the line segment 2a formed by the reading main scan and the line segment 7a formed by the recording main scan
Since the center point of the width of the received recording paper determined by is shifted from each other in the direction of flow of the two sheets of paper, the ejected sent-completed original 5 and received-completed recorded paper 8 are partially overlapped with each other. It will be stored.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the separation operation of the transmitted original document and the received recording paper obtained by the apparatus of FIG. 2. As seen in this figure, the transmitted original document 5 and the received completed recording paper 8 taken out from the storage space 4 are grasped by the operator's hands at their non-overlapping parts and pulled in the direction of the arrow. As shown in the figure, it can be easily separated.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the transmission-completed original and the reception-completed recording paper can be obtained in a state where they partially overlap in the ejected storage location. The advantage is that it not only makes it easier to separate paper from recording paper, but also saves an hour of wasted time.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a facsimile machine that stacks and outputs the transmitted original document and the received recording paper in the same storage location, it is determined by the line segment made by the sending/reading main scan and the line segment made by the receiving recording main scan. The widths of the transmitted original and the received recording paper partially overlap each other in the direction of flow of the transmitted original and the received recorded paper, and the center points of the respective widths are shifted from each other in the flow direction.
