Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a portable data terminal such as a data entry system, and is capable of printing as needed.

Configuration of conventional examples and their problems In recent years, the use of terminals for data entry systems has become popular, especially for business, home, and commercial use, such as terminals for replenishment orders in supermarkets, terminals for consignment sales orders, etc. It is becoming widely used for both personal and personal use.

Conventionally, with this type of terminal, it was not possible to leave a record of the data being sent, and when data was to be left, for example, as shown in Figure 1, a printer 1 was connected to the terminal 3 with a cable 2 and printed out, making it difficult to carry. It was something missing.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, there is also a portable data terminal 4 in which a removable compact printer section 5 is coupled to provide portability. However, such removable devices have the problem that the connection is insufficient, and the device may come off when being carried and be dropped and destroyed.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a portable data terminal in which the terminal body and the printer can be completely combined.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention achieves the above object by fixing and connecting the terminal body and the printer using a locking screw and a fixing nut.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 3, 6 is the main body of the terminal, 7 is a detachable printer section, 8 is a guide plate that serves as a guide when connecting, 9 is a locking screw for fixing, and in Fig. 4, 10 is on the side of the terminal main body 6. A fixing nut that fastens the attached fixing lock screw is shown.

In the above configuration, the terminal main body 6 and the printer unit 7 are connected by a locking screw 9 and a fixing nut 1 attached to a guide plate 8 that serves as a guide during coupling.
They are connected and fixed by 0.

The lock screw 9 is provided with play for tightening necessary for fixing.

That is, immediately after the terminal main body 6 and the printer unit 7 are connected, the lock screw 9 falls down by its own weight as shown in FIG. 4, and even if it is attempted to be raised, it hits the fixing nut 10 and cannot be raised. At this time, it protrudes from the bottom of the terminal body and the bottom of the printer section 7. If it is placed on a desk or the like in this state, it will become unstable and it will be extremely difficult to operate the device. Now, tighten the lock screw 9 with the fixing nut 10.
Since the head of the lock screw 9 enters the inside of the device from the bottom surface as shown in FIG. 5, a stable state can be obtained even when the device is placed on a desk or the like.

Effects of the invention As described above, this invention is achieved by attaching the locking screw to the guide plate provided on the printer with the head facing downward, and completely tightening the locking screw to the fixing nut provided on the bottom of the terminal body. For the first time, the head of the locking screw was configured to go inside the bottom of the printer or terminal, and if the locking screw was not completely tightened, the printer or terminal would become extremely unstable when placed on a desk. , and become virtually unusable.
This allows you to easily determine whether the lock screws have been completely tightened or not, and prevents problems such as accidentally lifting one and dropping the other from a desk, etc. can.
