Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate an eliminating operation of jamming, etc., by providing a cover with a guide function for leading a sheet member cut by a cutter to a discharging roller. CONSTITUTION:The sheet member 3 supplied continuously from a winding sheet 9 is led between a platen roller 2 and a thermal head 1 by a guide 10. A picture image is recorded on its one face by the head 1, and the sheet member 3 itself is led to the cutter 4 by a guide 11 and cut into the prescribed length by the fixed blade 4a and moving blade 4b of the cutter 4. Then said sheet is introduced between the discharging roller 7 and a pressure roller 12 by a guide 5 and a plate guide 8b installed on the cover 8, discharged on the cover 8 by the action of the discharging roller 7, arranged while its end edge is abutting on an abutting plate guide 8b, and stacked sequentially on the cover 8.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an image recording device such as a facsimile, a printer, or a copying machine.

<Prior Art> To explain an example of a conventional image recording device of this type for a facsimile, in FIG. The introduced sheet material 4 is a cutter for cutting the sheet material 3, and is composed of a fixed blade 4a and a movable blade 4b.

5 and 6 are the sheet materials 3 cut by the cutter 4, respectively.
This is a guide for guiding the material to the discharge roller 7, especially the guide 6.
is fixedly attached to the main body at a position that does not come into contact with the rotational swing of the movable blade 4b of the canter 4. Reference numeral 8 denotes a cover which serves as a cover for a sheet storage chamber (not shown) for storing rolled up sheets and also serves as a platform on which the sheet materials 3 discharged from the discharge roller 7 are stacked one after another; A bent end portion 8a is provided in an upright manner to align and support the end faces of the sheet materials 3 to be loaded.

However, in the conventional device described above, the guide 6 and the movable blade 4
If a jam (paper jam) occurs between the guide 6 and the sheet material 3, or if small pieces of the sheet material 3 become jammed, the guide 6 must be removed from the main body and disassembled each time. There are disadvantages in that it is troublesome to attach and detach screws, etc., and it is difficult to handle unless you are an experienced person.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> The present invention is a device developed in view of these conventional drawbacks, and in particular has a function of guiding the cut sheet material into a part of the winding sheet storage cover. In this way, the present invention aims to provide an apparatus which completely eliminates the need for a guide fixed to the main body as in the past, and which facilitates operations for clearing jams, etc.

Means for Solving the Problems〉 To specifically explain an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a thermal head, 2 is a platen roller, 3 is a sheet material, 4 is a fixed blade 4a and a movable blade 4b
5 is a guide for guiding the sheet material 3 cut by the cutter 4 to the discharge roller rough; 8 is a cover for the sheet storage chamber;
A backing plate guide 8b that can align the end faces of the cutter 4 and serve as a guide for guiding the sheet material 3 cut by the cutter 4 to the discharge roller 7 is attached to the movable blade 4b of the cutter 4 and the discharge roller 7. They are located adjacent to each other.

Next, 9 is a winding sheet that can supply the sheet material 3, 10 is a sheet guide for guiding the sheet material 3 to the platen roller 2, 11 is a guide for guiding the sheet material 3 to the cutter 4, and 12 is a discharge sheet. A pressing roller 8c provided corresponding to the roller 7 is a support shaft for opening and closing the cover 8, and when supplying the winding sheet 9, the cover 8 is opened and closed using this support shaft as a fulcrum. It is structured in such a way that it can be obtained.

Therefore, the sheet material 3 continuously supplied from the winding sheet 9 is guided between the platen roller 2 and the thermal head 1 by the guide 10, an image is recorded on one side of the sheet material by the head 1, and then the sheet material 3 is guided by the guide 10 between the platen roller 2 and the thermal head 1. 11 to the cutter 4, and after being cut to a predetermined length by the fixed blade 4a and movable blade 4b of the cutter 4, the discharge roller 7 and the pressing roller 1 are cut by the guide 5 and the backing plate guide 8b.
2, and are discharged onto the cover 8 by the action of the discharge roller 7, and are stacked one after another on the cover 8 with their edges abutting against the optical fiber guide 8b.

<Function> As described above, in the device according to the present invention, a backing plate guide 8b is provided at the tip of the cover 8 of the storage chamber in which the winding sheet 9 is stored, and this guide 8b is connected to the movable blade 4b of the cutter 4 and The sheet material 3 cut by the cutter 4 is guided to the ejection roller 7 by the backing plate guide 8b adjacent to the ejection roller 7, so that the sheet material 3 fixed to the main body with screws or the like as in the conventional case can be removed. Ejection roller 7
There is no need for a guide to guide the cutter 4, and even if a jam occurs between the backing plate guide 8b and the cutter 4, or if small pieces of the sheet material become clogged, it can be easily cleared by opening and closing the cover 8. I can do it.

<Embodiment> In the above embodiment, if the caul plate guide 8b is to be brought close to the ejection roller rough and the Nico caul plate guide 8b and the ejection roller 7 are to be prevented from coming into contact with each other when the cover 8 is opened and closed, As shown in Figure 2, a part of these can be cut out and both can be inserted into each other and combined in a continuous manner, or the support shaft 8 of the cover 8 can be
This can be easily implemented by means such as providing G (fulcrum) below. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, an elastic member 13 such as a Mylar sheet is attached to the guide surface of the backing plate guide 8b to make the guide surface longer, to make the guide surface more slippery, or to give the elastic member 13 an inclination. By doing so, it is also possible to reduce the gap with the guide 5.

<Effects of the Invention> Since the device according to the present invention has the structure and operation as described above, it is possible to use the cover of the rolled sheet as a loading platform for the sheet material and also use its tip as a guide. This eliminates the need for a guide fixed to the main body, and when jams occur, these problems can be solved extremely easily by opening and closing the cover, making the overall structure simple and inexpensive. It has the characteristics that it can be mass-produced and that it is easy to clear jams, etc., and can be easily handled even by an amateur.
