Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to an improvement of a form printing device, and in particular, it makes it easier to recognize the printed position on a form even when the device is used in a dark environment. It is.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, in this type of device, a guide rib was provided on the outer side of the case, a groove was provided on the form holder to serve as a guide, and a hand illumination lamp was provided inside.

However, the groove in the holder is hidden when the form is inserted, and the sides of the case are dark, making it difficult to see exactly where the printing is.

Purpose of the invention The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and makes it possible to easily determine the printing position when using a form printing device in a darkened place such as a snack bar or restaurant.

Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an illumination lamp inside the device and a rib between the illumination lamp and the printing position to block part of the light and draw the boundary line between bright and dark above the printing position. It was designed so that it would appear in

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. 1 is the base of the form printing device, 2 is the printer section, 3 is the print head of the printer section 2,
4 is an ink ribbon cartridge, and 5 is an ink ribbon. Reference numerals 6 and 7 are covers that particularly cover the printer section 2, printing head 3, ink ribbon cartridge 4, ink ribbon 5, etc. As shown in FIG. It is shown with a dashed line. 8 is a receiving plate for receiving the form 9, 10 and 11 are two grooves provided in the receiving plate 8, and the space between them is the printing position. Numeral 12 is a protrusion formed on the side surface of the cover, which serves as a guide for the printing position, especially when the surroundings are bright. 13 is a photoelectric sensor for determining the presence or absence of the form 9, and 14 is a print start button. Reference numeral 15 denotes an illumination lamp provided in the space between the cover 6 and the printer section 2 to illuminate the vicinity of the hand or the printing position, and is fixed to the printer section 2 with a mounting bracket 16.

17 is a vertical rib formed integrally with the cover 6 in the cover 6 between the illumination lamp 15 and the protrusion 12, and partially blocks the light beam of the illumination lamp 15 so that a border line between light and dark appears at the printing position. It is something.
Here, the position of the vertical rib 17 and the height of its hem are determined relative to the illumination lamp 15 so that the light beam 18 projects a bright and dark boundary line 19 onto the print position on the form 9, as shown in FIG. It is determined by the relationship.

With the above configuration, even if the surroundings are dark, the operator can insert the form 9 in the direction of the arrow, align the print position with the boundary line 19, and press the print start button 14 to print at the correct position. This is something that can be done.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, light is partially blocked by the illumination lamp provided in the device and the rib provided between the illumination lamp and the printing position, thereby creating a border between bright and dark on the printing position. Since lines can be displayed, the operator can print in the correct position even in dark places such as snacks and restaurants. Further, since the present invention has a structure in which a protrusion is formed on the side surface of the cover and a groove is provided on the receiving plate, it has the effect that it is possible to obtain a guide to the printing position even when the surroundings are particularly bright.
