Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance convenience in containing a positioning member and prevent a continuous recording paper from being damaged in use, by containing the positioning member on the lower side of a recording paper guide. CONSTITUTION:In the condition wherein the recording paper guide 13 is erected, a positioning part 16 of a support membr 10 for the guide is used as a positioning member for the recording paper. The guide 13 is supported by a stepped part 17 of the support member 10, so that it is not turned in the direction of an arrow E by external forces during use thereof. When containing, the positioning part 16 of the support member 10 is disengaged from an angular hole 15 of the guide 13, the support member 10 can be turned in the direction of an arrow D, and is contained into a recessed part 18 provided on the side of an upper casing 11. Accordingly, the recording paper can be prevented from being damaged, and the recorder becomes compact in size when the guide and the support member are contained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a recording apparatus tK having a foldable recording paper guide provided with a member for determining the horizontal position of recording paper.

(Prior art) In conventional printing devices such as typewriters and data output printers, in order to determine the printing position in the left and right direction on the recording paper, a mark is placed on either the left or right edge of the recording paper on the recording paper insertion side of the printing device. The recording paper is provided with a positioning member that is brought into contact with the recording paper to determine the horizontal position of the recording paper.

Figure 84!1 shows an example of a conventional data output printer. The recording paper 2 inserted through the recording paper insertion slot 1 is printed inside the device 4 and is discharged from the recording paper outlet 6. 4 guides the recording paper 2 to insert it into the recording paper insertion slot 1;
5 is a positioning member that contacts the recording paper 2 at one end in the left direction and positions the recording paper 2 in the left-right direction, and is provided integrally with the recording paper guide member 4. There is. The recording paper guide member 4 is designed to be foldable as shown in FIG. 2 in order to improve the storage of the printing device when not in use.
It is rotatably supported relative to the printing device, and when stored, it faces in the entry direction,
When in use, it can be rotated in the anti-A direction. In addition, during use, that is, when the recording paper guide member 4 is in an upright state, in order to prevent the recording paper guide member 4 from rotating in the input direction due to external force, a A paper guide support member is provided.

However, as can be seen from FIG. 2, the positioning member 5 remains as a protrusion on the top surface of the printing device even when the recording paper guide member 4 is placed in the printing device, which is a disadvantage in that it is very inconvenient for storing the printing device. was there.

Next, a case where the printing device [K recording paper is printed using continuous recording paper that has not been cut one by one will be explained with reference to FIG. 6.

In Figure 3, the same numbers as in Figures 1 and 2 indicate the same parts.

K to reliably feed the continuous recording paper 6 a predetermined length.

A tin rocket 7 that rotates in the B direction in synchronization with the recording paper feeding operation of the printing device is added to the printing device, and the perforation 8 bored in the continuous recording paper and the bin 9 integrally formed on the tin rocket 7 are connected. Then, the continuous recording paper 6 is sent in the C direction.

In FIG. 3, the holding of the sprocket 7 and the rotating machine are omitted.

In FIG. 3, in order to print at the same position as described in FIG. 1, the left end of the continuous recording paper 6 must be in contact with the positioning member 5. however,
The horizontal ()lt determination of the continuous recording paper 6 is determined by the fixed position of the first sprocket 7 relative to the printing device because the half orientation 8 and the bin 9 of the sprocket 7 are engaged. Fixed position! 3 The left end of the continuous recording paper 6 is pressed against the positioning member 5 more than necessary due to the fact that it is closer to the left than the designed value or the width dimension of the continuous recording paper 6 is slightly larger, etc. Wrinkles on paper 6,
There were drawbacks such as tearing and poor feeding.

(Objective) T The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional example, and has no protrusion on the upper surface of the recording paper guide member during storage, which is convenient for storage, and also allows continuous recording paper to be raised and folded without damaging it when used. The object of the present invention is to provide a printing device equipped with a paper guide.

(Example) FIGS. 4 to 6 show examples of the present invention, in which the paper guide support member 104 has a shaft portion 12 (FIG. 6) integrally formed with the recording paper guide support member 10. It is held in the upper case 11 so as to be freely tiltable in the D direction and the first warping direction. 1
Reference numeral 3 denotes a recording paper guide member which is held so as to be able to rise and fall about a shaft 14 (FIG. 6), and which is opened and closed in the ascending direction or in the counter-E direction. 15 is a square hole bored in the recording paper guide member 13, and the recording paper guide member 13 is inserted into this square hole 1 when standing up.
5, and its tip is placed above the recording paper guide member 16.
A positioning portion 16 is formed which protrudes to determine the horizontal position of the recording paper. By fitting these two together, the recording paper guide member 16 is held at the starting position. , The operation of the embodiment having the above configuration will be explained.

When the recording paper guide member 13 is in the upright position, that is, in the position shown in FIGS.
is used as a positioning member for the recording paper. At that time, the recording paper guide 13 is attached to the useful part 1 of the recording paper guide support member 10.
Since it is held by 7, it will not rotate in the E direction even if external force is applied during use.Also recorded←
Guide support member 10! Since the end portion 16 is fitted into the square hole 15, rotation in the D direction is restricted.

Next, when using continuous recording paper or storing the recording paper guide member, rotate the recording paper guide member 13 in the counter-E direction to the position shown in Fig. 6, and then the recording paper guide support member 10
The positioning portion 16 is removed from the rectangular hole 15 of the recording paper id 13, and the recording paper id supporting member 10 can be rotated in the D direction and housed in the concave shape 18 of the upper case 11. If the recording paper guide 13 is rotated in the °C direction in this state, the state shown in FIG. It is also convenient for storage.

(Effects) As explained above, the present invention has a simple structure, can prevent damage to recording paper when using continuous recording paper, and is extremely compact when stored, making it extremely easy to use. A recording device that is easy to use can be provided.
