Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a printing paper holding device for a printing device.

As one of the convenient printing devices mainly used for stencil printing, it has a base placed on a horizontal support surface such as a desk top, and a pressure plate pivotally attached to one end of the base. A printing paper is placed on an elastic board placed above the printing paper, and a printing original plate such as a stencil is placed at the corresponding bottom position of the pressing plate, and the pressing plate is pivotally pressed against the base. Accordingly, there is a device configured to print on the printing paper using the printing original plate.

One of this kind of convenient printing apparatus is a plate-making printing apparatus proposed in Utility Application No. 114253/1989 filed by the same applicant as the present applicant.

This prepress printing apparatus not only performs printing in the manner described above, but also has the function of making a stencil, which is the printing original plate.

One problem in handling when printing with this type of lightweight printing device is that, as mentioned above, the printing paper placed on the base or the elastic plate installed on it is After pressing a printing plate such as a stencil and applying ink on the printing paper,
When the press plate is pulled up, the printed paper remains attached to the printing plate due to the viscosity of the ink and is pulled up at the same time, requiring a relatively complicated operation to peel the printed paper from the printing plate. That is to say.

To deal with this problem, adhesive tape is attached to the edge of the elastic plate on which the printing paper is placed, and this tape holds the printing paper adhesively, and when the press plate is pulled up after printing, the adhesive force of the ink is absorbed. Printed paper is held on an elastic board by overcoming this problem.

However, this measure also requires an operation in which the printing paper that is adhesively held on the elastic plate by the adhesive tape must be peeled off, completely eliminating the troublesome handling associated with holding the printing paper during printing. It is not something that will be resolved.

Moreover, the printing paper holding method using adhesive tape is
This method is not effective when a plurality of sheets of printing paper are placed one on top of the other on an elastic plate in advance, and the adhesive tape has the disadvantage that the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape is lost over time.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems regarding holding printing paper in a lightweight printing device, and aims to provide a simple and effective printing paper holding device. In a simple printing device having a structure in which a sagging base and a press plate are pivotally connected to each other at one end edge thereof facing each other, the base and the press plate are pivotally connected. Focusing on the fact that a pivot element extending along the end edge of both pivots is provided as a pivot structure for attaching the hinge, we have effectively utilized the pivot element to provide a simple and preferable operating mode. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing paper holding device having the following features.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view showing one embodiment of the printing paper holding device according to the present invention, installed in a printing device having the basic configuration to which the printing paper holding device is to be applied.

That is, in this case, the printing apparatus to which the printing paper holding device according to the present invention is applied is such that the base 1, the press plate 2, and the base and the press plate are mutually pivotally connected at one end edge thereof facing each other. It has a pivot element 3 extending along the one end edge.

In this case, an elastic plate 4 having a certain thickness is usually provided on the top surface of the base 1 in order to support the printing paper with a certain degree of elasticity in order to improve the printing finish. On the back side of the pressing plate, there is a printing original plate 5 such as a stencil at a position where it overlaps the elastic plate 4 when the pressing plate is pressed onto the base.
is ready to be installed.

One of the preferred stencils to be used as such a printing master plate is the framed stencil proposed in U.S. Pat. It is a heat-sensitive stencil printing base paper.

Such framed heat-sensitive stencil printing base paper is made by pasting a heat-sensitive stencil paper made of a porous support such as Japanese paper and a heat-shrinkable synthetic resin film on one side of an annular frame made of cardboard or the like at its periphery. , has a structure in which an ink-permeable sheet is attached to a part of the periphery of the other side of the frame made of cardboard or the like.

Since such frame-equipped heat-sensitive stencil printing base paper itself has considerable ballistic resistance due to the action of the frame, a pair of angle members 6 attached to the lower surface of the pressing plate 2 are made using this property.
, 6.

The structure of using such a framed heat-sensitive stencil printing base paper and attaching it to the lower surface of the press plate by a pair of angle members as described above was also adopted in the plate-making printing apparatus according to the aforementioned Utility Model Application No. 114253/1983. ing.

As is not clear from the basic configuration of the printing apparatus described above, the printing original plate 5 attached to the lower surface of the pressing plate 2 is placed on the elastic plate 4 provided on the base 1 so as to overlap in almost parallel. In order for the pressure plate 2 to be pivotally pressed about the pivot element 3 against the base 1, the base 1 and the pressure plate 2 must be pressed against the elastic plate 4 at their opposite pivoting edges. They must be pivotably connected to each other at a distance approximately equal to the sum of the thickness and the thickness of the printing plate 5.

Therefore, in printing devices of this type, the base 1 and the pressure plate 2 are usually provided with bearings of the same height, respectively, with lugs 7 and 8, which bear pivot elements in the holes 9 and 10 of the lugs. 3, the joints between them are distantly related.

Also, as is clear from this, a space remains between the inner surface of the pressing plate 2 and the pivot element 3.

The present invention utilizes this space, the inner surfaces of the pressing plates facing each other across the space, and the pivot element to provide a printing paper holding device 11 that is incorporated into this type of printing apparatus.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the printing paper holding device 11 according to the present invention taken out, and FIG.
FIG.

The printing paper holding device 11 has a U-shaped frame element 12 which is bent along substantially one plane (the plane of the figure in the case of FIG. 2). A plate-shaped spring element 13 is fixed to the leg at one end 13a, and its free end 13b is directed away from the plane from the fixed end toward the base of the leg. It is installed so that it extends to the

The frame element 12 with the spring element 13 that can be bent is inserted between the press plate 2 and the pivot element 3 with the spring element 13 on the side of the press plate 2, as shown in FIG. It is stably held in the attached state as shown in FIG. 1 by using spring force.

In this connection, as shown in FIG. 3, a stopper element 14 may be provided at the leg end of the frame element 12 on the side opposite to the side on which the spring element 13 is attached. When this is done, the leg end of the frame element can be inserted into the space between the pressing plate 2 and the pivot element 3 until the stopper element comes into contact with the pivot element 3.

However, such a stopper element 14 is not necessarily required, and even if such a stopper element is not provided, a stable mounting state as shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained by appropriately inserting the leg end of the frame element into the space. .

After the frame element 12 has been installed in the printing device in the state shown in FIG. It will be stretched.

As shown in FIG.
Preferably, a pair of membranes are formed along the direction a.

Alternatively, in other embodiments, the securing element 15' may be strung between the legs 12a using a suitable latching element such as a hook 16'.

Such cable elements 15' are also generally preferably coated in pairs.

It is usually sufficient to provide only one of these vertical and horizontal direction elements 15.15, but in some cases both may be provided at the same time.
' do not necessarily have to be provided as a pair, and may be used in various combinations, for example, by adding one cable element 15' to a pair of cable elements 15.

When using a pair of cable elements 15, it is preferable that the width between the cable elements 15 is stretched somewhat narrower than the width of the printing paper placed on the elastic plate 4, so that the cable elements 15 It is preferable that when pressed onto the printing paper, it engages with both side edges of the printing paper and presses the printing paper onto the pressing plate 4 with its both side edges.

In this case, the spacing between the legs 12a of the frame element should be designed to be somewhat smaller or larger than the widest dimension of the printing paper on which it is intended to be printed; By appropriately stretching the cable elements 15 for printing paper of various widths narrower than that, it is possible to effectively hold down the printing paper of each width at the side edges that do not interfere with printing.

When the width between the legs 123 is designed to be somewhat smaller than the width of the planned maximum size printing paper, the cable element 15 is removed only when printing the maximum size paper, and the leg 12 a
It is sufficient to press the printing paper directly with the .

Rubber, metal, synthetic resin and natural cord-like elements are used as the cable elements.

After the printing paper holding device 11 is attached to the printing apparatus in the manner shown in FIG. When the plate 2 is pivoted and pressed toward the base 1, the printing paper holding device 11 pivots together with the pressure plate 2 at the beginning of the pivoting of the pressure plate 2, and is directed toward the printing paper placed on the elastic plate 4. Get closer.

When the pressing plate 2 further approaches the base 1, the printing paper holding device 11 eventually engages with the printing paper placed on the elastic plate 4, and further rotation is prevented.

When the press plate 2 is pivoted further toward the base 1,
The frame element 12 of the printing paper holding device 11 is held in its position, but its spring element 13 is deflected, allowing the pressure plate 2 to be pivoted further towards the printing paper and at the same time the deflection of the spring element 13 The printing paper holding device 11 has an elastic plate 4
It is pressed firmly against the printing paper placed on top.

When the printing original plate 5 is pressed against the printing paper placed on the elastic plate 4 and the predetermined printing is performed, the pressing plate 2 is pulled upward, and at the moment when the printing original plate 5 is separated from the printing paper. The printing paper holding device 11 is pressed against the printing paper most strongly by the spring force of the spring element 13 which is deflected to the maximum, and presses the printing paper onto the elastic plate 4 with the strongest holding force.

This holding force overcomes the adhesive force of the printing ink and holds the printing paper on the elastic plate 4, preventing it from being pulled upward together with the original printing plate.

When the press plate 2 is further pulled upward, the printing paper holding device 11 is also pulled upward accordingly, and the paper printed on the elastic plate 4 is separated from the printing paper while leaving it thereon.

Thus, according to the present invention, when the printing original plate is separated from the printing paper, the edge of the printing paper is pressed down with the strongest pressing force when the printing original plate is separated from the printing paper, and the printing original plate is sufficiently separated from the printing paper. It will now be appreciated that a printing paper holding device is provided which operates in a preferred manner to automatically release the printing paper holding.

Although the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications to such embodiments may be made within the scope of the present invention.
