Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the structure of a document stacker in a facsimile machine or similar apparatus.

A conventional document stacker used in a facsimile machine, etc., is a stacker that is fixed to the machine, as shown in Figure 1.
A type consisting of two fixed boxes 10, and a second
As shown in the figure, there is one in which the inner box 2 rotates or slides relative to the fixed outer box 7. The former has the disadvantage that it is difficult to take out the stored document 1, and the latter has the disadvantage that it is easy to take out the document, but while the inner box 2 of the stacker is being pulled out of the device, the document 3 ejected from the device is The problem was that it fell to the back of the box and could not be stored inside the inner box.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to solve the above-mentioned problems by configuring the stacker inner box to rotate and come out of the apparatus, and the paper guide to be lifted up and engaged with the stacker inner box to become a stopper for the inner box. To provide a document stacker which is easy to take out documents and which can also securely accommodate documents discharged while taking out the documents in an inner box.

The gist of the present invention is that the stacker is composed of an outer stacker box, an inner stacker box that rotates about its bottom and can be pulled out of the device, and a paper guide that can rotate about its upper part. When the document comes out of the apparatus, the paper guide is pushed up by the inner box and engages with the inner box at a predetermined position of the inner box to form a stopper, during which time the ejected original is pushed up along the paper guide and It is configured to be housed in the inner box of the stacker.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the embodiment of the present invention when the inner box is stored, and the ejected original 3 is stored in the stacker inner box 2 and the paper guide 5 partially overlapping the inner box. They will be sequentially accommodated in the department. The stacker outer box 7 holds the lower support 4 of the stacker inner box 2 and the upper support 6 of the paper guide 5.
A magnet 8 is fixed to the stacker outer box 7 to attract the inner box 2 so that the inner box 2 does not rotate and fall due to vibrations or the like. In addition, the document presser 9 is attached to the stacker inner box 2 so that the discharged documents 1 are aligned.
is attached to. At the upper edge of the back plate of the inner box 2 and at the lower edge of the paper guide 5, locking portions 2a and 5a bent into hook shapes are formed, respectively.

When taking out the stored originals, as shown in FIG. 4, by pulling out the stacker inner box 2 to the outside of the apparatus, the originals 1 fall outward, making it easier to take them out. At this time, the paper guide 5 is pushed up into the inner box 2, and its locking portion 5a engages with the locking portion 2a of the stacker inner box 2 at a predetermined pull-out position of the inner box 2, thereby functioning as a stopper for the inner box 2. Also, the paper guide 5 at this time is inclined diagonally downward, so the document 3 discharged during this period is accommodated in the stacker inner box 2 along the paper guide 5, and is stored in the stacker inner box 2 as in the conventional case. It does not fall between the back plate and the outer box 7.

As explained above, the present invention is configured such that the inner box of the stacker is rotatable about the bottom and the paper guide is pushed up by the rotation of the inner box and serves as a stopper for the inner box. This has the effect of making it easier to take out the documents and preventing the ejected originals from falling to the back of the stacker box.
