Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a paper ejection device that accumulates and stores copy paper ejected from a copying machine.The purpose of this invention is to store it at the bottom of the main body when not in use, and to store it horizontally when in use. The pull-out copying machine body has been made smaller to prevent the tray from falling or being removed and being lost, and the copying machine can be placed not only at the edge of the table but also in the center, and the copy paper is The purpose is to allow the paper to move smoothly on a horizontal tray so that the paper is completely ejected from the paper ejection roller.

Conventionally, copying machines have been equipped with paper output trays that are removably attached, but these have the disadvantage that they may fall and be damaged when attached or detached, or may be lost.

Also, when attaching the paper output tray to the copying machine, the tip was slanted downward, so the copying machine was placed on the end of the tray,
Since the paper ejection tray must be located on the side of the mounting table, the copying machine cannot be placed in the center of the mounting table, resulting in restrictions in terms of installation.

Furthermore, if the tray is held horizontally, for example in a wet-type copying machine, there is a drawback that the copy paper cannot be ejected smoothly because the copy paper is wet and the contact area is large.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional method by attaching the output tray to the bottom of the copying machine so that it can slide horizontally, and by providing the output tray with protruding ribs that can be raised and lowered along the longitudinal direction. It is.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention shown in the accompanying drawings will be described in detail.

1 is the copying machine main body, and the copy paper ejection port 1a is located at the bottom of the negative side.
A paper discharge tray 2 is arranged below.

The paper ejection tray 2 is constructed by bending wire as shown in FIG.
The bases of both side parts 2a are bent laterally to form a locking part 20', and the longitudinal part of the U-shaped part 2c is provided with an inclined surface 3b that extends downward from the middle to the tip. A C ring 3a is fitted to the lower part of the protruding rib 3 made of synthetic resin.

The inner diameter of the C-ring 3a is somewhat smaller than the outer diameter of the U-shaped portion 2c and is elastically fitted, so that the protruding rib 3 can be held in a vertical position or rotated at any angle. It has become.

Guide members 4 having guide grooves 4a are fixed to the bottom 1b of the copying machine main body 1 with screws 5 at predetermined intervals, and the paper output tray 2
Insert both sides 2a of the paper into the guide groove 4a, and then
Both side portions 2a of the guide groove 1a can be slid back and forth along the guide groove 1a, and the locking portion 2C/ is configured to lock onto the base of the guide groove 4a when pulled out the most.

1c is a leg of the copying machine main body 1, and 5 is a mounting table for the copying machine main body 1.

When in use, insert the paper output tray 2 into the copying machine body 1 as shown in Figure 1.
horizontally from the bottom 1b, and the locking portion 2C' is locked in the guide groove 4a.

Next, the protruding rib 3 is raised vertically.

The copy paper 6 discharged from the discharge port 1a comes into contact with the upper surface of the protruding rib 3 as shown in FIG. 5, curves in the width direction, and moves on the horizontal paper discharge tray 2, so that there is little contact resistance and the copy paper 6 is smoothly moved. will be transferred to.

When not in use, when the protruding rib 3 is laid down horizontally and the entire paper ejection tray 2 is pushed toward the copying machine main body 1, the both sides 2a of the paper ejection tray 2 slide along the guides i4a, and the paper ejection tray 2 is stored in the gap between the bottom plate 1b of the copying machine main body 1 and the mounting table 5.

Note that the above is one embodiment, and a rotatable protruding rib may be provided on the plate-shaped tray.

According to the present invention, the paper output tray is not attached to or detached from the copying machine body;
Since it is designed to slide horizontally and be stored or pulled out from the bottom of the bottom plate of the copying machine, the output tray will not fall and be damaged or lost, and the copying machine will be placed in the center of the loading table. Moreover, the copy paper can be smoothly discharged onto the paper discharge tray, and the copying machine main body can be downsized.
