Claims

[Scope of claims for utility model registration] (1) When the upper body is opened to the lower body,
In a support mechanism for a mail boxer attached to a side surface on a downstream side in a paper ejection direction of a clam shell type image forming apparatus in which an upper end portion of the upper main body on a downstream side in a paper ejection direction protrudes and moves in a paper ejection direction, the entire mail boxer has a mail boxer function; an upper split portion having a center of gravity in the pin portion;
The image forming apparatus is divided into a lower part attached to the lower part of the side plate on the downstream side in the paper ejection direction and functions as a pedestal, and the upper part is placed on the lower part so as to be slidable in the paper ejection direction. The lower part on the upstream side in the paper ejection direction of the upper split part and the upper part on the downstream side in the paper ejection direction of the lower split part on both sides parallel to the paper direction, or the upper part on the upstream side in the paper delivery direction of the lower split part on both sides and the above. First and second engaging members are respectively protruded from the lower part of the upper split part on the downstream side in the paper ejection direction, and the upper part of the lower part on the upstream side in the paper ejection direction of the lower part on both sides and the paper ejection direction of the upper part. lower downstream,
or a first member that is slidably engaged with the first and second engaging members at a lower part of the upper split part on the upstream side in the paper ejecting direction and an upper part of the lower split part on the downstream side in the paper ejecting direction on both the side surfaces; A support mechanism for a mail boxer, characterized in that a second guide support opening is formed in the sliding direction. (2) The support mechanism for a mail boxer according to claim (1), wherein the end of the first guide support opening formed at the upper part of the upstream side of the lower division in the paper ejection direction is upwardly concave. (3) The mail boxer support mechanism according to claim (1), wherein the end of the first guide support opening formed at the lower part of the upstream side in the paper ejection direction of the upper split portion is concave downward. (4) The support mechanism for a mail boxer according to claim (1), wherein the end portion of the second guide support opening formed at the lower part of the upper split portion on the downstream side in the paper discharge direction has an upwardly concave shape. (5) The support mechanism for a mail boxer according to claim (1), wherein the end of the second guide support opening formed at the upper part of the downstream side of the lower division in the paper ejection direction is concave downward.
