Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the area of a desk and to improve operability by forming the shape of the title equipment so that the drawer part of a desk can be substituted for the very shape of the equipment. CONSTITUTION:The external shape of the main body 1 of a facsimile equipment is so formed that the drawer part 7a of the desk 7 can substitute for the shape of the main body 1. An original to be transmitted is inserted in an original insertion inlet 2, operating part 8 is operated, then the facsimile number of the transmission destination is dialed. If the facsimile equipment of the opposite responses, paper is automatically fed then exhausted from an original exhausting outlet 3 after the transmission ends, and the papers are piled in the main body 1. With this constitution, the area of the facsimile equipment for placing papers can be made least, hence the wider part of the area of the top of the desk 7 can be used for working i.e. the operability is improved.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in recent years, as facsimile machines have become smaller and cheaper, in offices, each employee has their own facsimile machine, or a complex type that has functions such as a telephone and a computer. People are starting to have fax machines. At that time, if a facsimile machine larger than the size of B4 or A4 paper is placed on each office desk, the usable space will be reduced by that amount, and wiring will be required.

There was a problem that it could not be said to be appropriate from the point of view of workability and organization.

〔the purpose〕

This invention was made in order to solve these problems, and it is a facsimile machine that requires less space to place a facsimile machine on a desk, can be used effectively, and has good workability. is intended to provide.

In addition to the above object, another object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine which can be guided into a document insertion means when a document is inserted using a handle.

Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned objects of the present invention, another object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile machine whose main body can be guided easily and whose wiring inside the desk can be simplified.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the above object is achieved by forming the external shape into a shape that can be replaced with a drawer part of a desk.

Another aspect of the present invention is that, in the above-mentioned facsimile apparatus, a handle is provided at the front of the main body of the facsimile machine, and a document insertion means is provided at the upper edge of the handle.

Furthermore, still another invention of the present invention is that, in the above-mentioned apparatus, a guide means for guiding the main body of the facsimile machine in a drawer part is provided on the side of the main body of the facsimile machine, and the guide means has an electrical contact for supplying power. It has been established.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, in this invention, the external shape of the main body is formed in a shape that can be replaced with a drawer part of a desk, so that the floor space on the desk is reduced, the desk can be kept tidy, and work efficiency is improved.

In another aspect of the present invention, a handle is provided at the front part of the main body, and the document insertion means is provided at the upper edge of the handle, so that the document is guided into the document insertion means by the handle when the document is inserted. Ru.

Furthermore, in still another aspect of the present invention, a guiding means for guiding the main body of the facsimile apparatus in the drawer part is provided on the side of the facsimile main body, so that the main body can be guided easily.
By providing this guide means with an electrical contact for power supply, the wiring inside the desk is simplified.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A facsimile apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a facsimile device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the facsimile device installed in a drawer of a desk.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the facsimile machine, 2 is a document insertion slot which is document guiding means provided in the front part 1a of the main body of the facsimile machine, and 3 is a document ejector from which the original inserted into the document insertion slot 2 is ejected. The outlet 4 is a handle provided on the front portion 1a of the main body of the facsimile machine in which the document ejection port 3 is provided.

5 is a small drawer of the tray for loading the received recording paper; 7
a is an office desk, etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as a "desk") into which the main body 1 of the facsimile machine equipped with the small drawer 5 is guided and inserted.
) 7, and this drawer 7a is used to draw out the desk 7 of the main body 1 of the facsimile machine (not shown).
The external shape of the main body 1 of the facsimile machine is formed so that it can be replaced with the main body 1 of the facsimile machine.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an operation section of the facsimile machine, 9 a telephone line cord connected to the main body 1 of the facsimile machine, and 10 a main body 1 of the facsimile machine connected to the telephone line cord 9.
This is a cable bundle that connects the control panel and the control section.

The facsimile apparatus of the embodiment is configured as described above, and when attempting to use it as a facsimile, first insert the original to be sent into the original insertion slot 2, and operate the operation section 8 to select the destination. Dial the fax number. When the other party's facsimile responds, paper is automatically fed, and after transmission, the original is ejected from the original ejection port 3.

The originals discharged from the discharge port 3 accumulate in the main body 1 of the facsimile machine.

The drawer can be kept closed except when taking out sent documents or performing maintenance, resulting in a clean appearance and good workability. Also, small drawer 5
The received recording paper is loaded inside.

According to the embodiment, by making the external shape of the main body 1 of the facsimile machine into a shape that can be replaced with the drawer part 7a of the desk 7, most of the mounting area of the facsimile machine can be eliminated, and the desk 7 can be replaced by that much space. It has a large space on top and is useful for organizing your desk, making it easy to work with.

[Other Examples]
