Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a copying machine equipped with a manual feed table.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Copying machines equipped with a manual feeding table as well as a paper feed cassette are currently on the market. This kind of copying machine is usually configured such that a manual feed table is installed on the side of the main body of the machine, and a paper feed cassette is attached to the lower part of the paper feed cassette. Otherwise, the manual feed table would block the paper feed cassette mounting opening from the machine operator's view, making it very difficult to attach and remove the paper feed cassette.

To overcome these drawbacks, a manual feed table has been made that can be stored in the copier body side with a simple operation, or that can be removed from the copier body, but these do not make up the manual feed table. In addition to the disadvantages of a large number of parts and complexity, there is also the hassle of having to store or remove the manual feed table each time the paper feed cassette is attached or removed.

Purpose The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a copying machine that has a simple configuration and that allows the paper feed cassette to be easily attached and detached even when the manual feed table is installed. The goal is to provide opportunities.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and includes a manual feed table installed above the paper feed cassette with a cassette mounting port in a position where at least the paper feed cassette mounting port can be seen from above. The present invention provides a copying machine characterized by being provided with a confirmation window.

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

Figure 1 shows the entire copying machine that uses a manual feed table. In the figure, 1 is the copying machine body, 2
3 is a paper feed cassette, 3 is a paper feed cassette mounting port, 4 is a manual feed table, and 5 is a manual feed table mounting port.

FIG. 2 shows the entire manual feed table 4, where 6 is a guide plate for guiding the copying machine into the copying machine body 1, 7 is a paper guide that is adjusted appropriately according to the size of the copy paper, and 8 is a guide plate for guiding the copying machine into the copying machine body 1. This is a cassette loading port confirmation window made of a transparent material such as transparent acrylic, and this confirmation window 8 is integrally constructed with the guide plate 6 on the loading side of the manual feed table 4. Mouth 5
It is removable. This manual feed table 4
When using the manual feed table 4, as shown in FIG. Even when the paper feed cassette 2 is left installed in the mounting port 5, the cassette mounting port 3 located below is not obstructed from the operator's view, and therefore the paper feed cassette 2 can be easily attached to and removed from the cassette mounting port 3. be able to.

3 to 5 show other embodiments of the manual feed table for a copying machine according to the present invention. In FIG. 3, both corners of the guide plate 6 on the mounting side are cut out to confirm the cassette mounting opening made of a transparent material. 4th one with window 8
The figure shows two openings formed at each corner of the guide plate 6 on the installation side to form a cassette installation port confirmation window 9, and FIG. 5 shows an opening formed at the end of the guide plate 6 on the installation side. A cassette loading port confirmation window 9 is provided.

Incidentally, in the manual feed table shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the object of the present invention can be achieved even if the guide plate itself is entirely made of a transparent material. Further, even if the manual feed table is integrally constructed with the main body of the copying machine, the manual feed table of the above embodiment can be employed.

Effects As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention has a cassette loading opening confirmation window provided in the manual feed table installed above the paper feeding cassette at a position where at least the loading opening of the paper feeding cassette can be confirmed from above. Because of its features, its structure is simple, and even if the manual feed table remains installed in the copying machine body, the cassette loading port is not obstructed from the operator's view, and the paper feed cassette can be easily attached and detached. Can be done.
