Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document stand on which a handled document is placed in an electronic copying machine or the like.

Modern copying machines and the like are actively trying to downsize their bodies, and as a result, there is usually no place on the machine to place a document before or after copying.

Even if a document could be placed there, there is a great risk of it falling and scattering, which is a problem in use.

Therefore, a special stand or table is usually placed near the machine and the original is placed on it.

However, such stands and tables occupy a considerable amount of space, and the original is placed far away from the copying machine, making it inconvenient for the user to work with.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a document holder that has a simple structure and can be easily attached to and detached from the machine, thereby improving work efficiency. be.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a body of a copying machine, and on the upper surface of this body 1, a document placement section 2 is formed.

The document placement section 2 is configured such that a placement surface 3 can be covered with a cover 4 in an openable and closable manner.

Furthermore, a removable document platform 4 is attached near the side of the document platform 3 .

The document table 4 is detachably latched to the side edge 6 of the upper surface portion 5 of the body 1 .

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the document stand 4 consists of a transparent plate 7 on which the document is placed, and a rod-shaped mounting member 8 that pivotally attaches the plate 7. In this case, a pivot holder 9 is fixed with a screw, and the intermediate portion of the support member 8 is inserted into the holder 9 to be pivotally attached.

The mounting member 8 is formed by bending piano wire, for example, and has locking portions 1 at both ends thereof.
0.10 is configured to elastically lock onto a locked portion of the body 1, for example, the side edge 6 of the upper surface portion 5.

That is, the locking part 10.10 forms a pressing part 12 that contacts the upper surface 11 of the body 1, and a portion 13 on the tip side of the pressing part 12 forms a groove 1 formed on the upper side surface of the body 1.
It is designed to be locked at 4.

Note that the tip side portion 13 is located in the groove portion 1 on the left and right sides of the fuselage 1.
4, but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, it is inserted and locked into the grooves 14 on the front and rear surfaces.

As shown in FIG.
It is locked to the side edge 6 of the upper surface part 5.

Since the plate 7 can be rotated with respect to its mounting member 8, the plate 7 can be opened as shown in FIG.
protrudes largely to the side of the fuselage 1, allowing the upper surface of the fuselage 1 to be substantially expanded.

In addition, in this expanded state, the base end portion of the plate 7 directly hits and is supported by the upper surface 11 of the body 1.

In other words, the upper surface of the plate 7 can be used to place a document to be handled.

Note that since the plate 7 is transparent, when no original is placed on it, or where no original is placed, it is visible, which is convenient for work.

For example, it does not interfere with viewing the status of the paper discharge section, manual paper feed section, etc. provided below the document table 4.

On the other hand, when the document stand 4 is not used, the plate 7 is closed as shown in FIG. 4 so that it does not protrude from the area of the body 1.

Furthermore, if the document stand 4 is not used at all, it may be removed from the machine body 1.

Therefore, when the document placing table 4 is not in use, the document placing table 4 does not get in the way, and the surrounding area can be used widely.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment; for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the mounting member 15 may be formed by bending a band-shaped metal plate.

In addition, in a copying machine in which the document placement section 2 is movable, the document placement table 4 may be attached to the document placement section 2.

As explained above, according to the present invention, even if the top surface of the machine is too small to be effectively used as a document placement table, by using this document placement table, you can place the document nearby and work on it. be able to.

In other words, work efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, since the document stand can be removed from the machine when not in use, it does not get in the way.

Further, the document table of the present invention has a simple structure, can be manufactured at low cost, and is practical because it can be easily attached to and detached from the machine body.
