Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a facsimile discharge recording paper stacker that can store discharged recording papers of a facsimile machine in an orderly manner.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a technology in this field, there is a configuration example shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2. In the figure, 1 is a facsimile device, 2 is an ejected recording paper, 3 is a stacker that stores the ejected recording paper 2, 4 is a guide that guides the ejected recording paper 2 from the facsimile machine 1 into the stacker 3, and 5 is a consumables storage unit. , 6 is a telephone stand. In the stacker configured in this way, the ejected recording paper 2 ejected from the facsimile 1
was introduced into the stacker 3 by a guide 4 connected to the upper part of the stacker 3, and fell into the stacker 3 to be stored therein.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the stacker having the above configuration, the condition in which the ejected recording paper 2 falls from the inlet 3a along the guide 4 is due to the physical conditions and environmental conditions between the recording paper 2 and the guide 4. In other words, due to the condition in which the recording paper falls due to the ejection condition from the facsimile machine 1 and the difference in the coefficient of friction between the recording paper and the guide 4 due to the humidity of the recording paper, the storage state becomes messy, and it is difficult to organize the recording paper when collecting it. There were problems such as the amount of time and effort required.

It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the problems associated with the prior art and to provide a stacker that can sort discharged recording sheets according to their sizes and stack them in an orderly manner.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object will be explained using FIG. 1 corresponding to the embodiment. A facsimile discharge recording paper stacker 13 includes a guide 14 for guiding recording paper 12 discharged from a facsimile device 11 and a telephone stand 16, the guide 1
A stepped pedestal 17 is provided that descends in accordance with the falling trajectory direction of the ejected recording paper 12 introduced through the guide 14, and one end 18 is provided above the entrance 13a of the guide 14.
A tape 18 for controlling the recording paper posture is provided with a tape 18 attached to the tape 18 and a free end 18b extending above the pedestal 17.

(Function) According to the present invention, since the ejected recording paper stacker for facsimile is configured as described above, the posture of the ejected recording paper 12 falling from the guide is regulated by the tape 18 whose one end is supported at the guide entrance 13a. The recording paper is stored in an orderly manner upwards on the step-like or Z-shaped pedestal 17 to prevent it from buckling, and recording paper longer than this is prevented from bending down from the longer part between the guide entrance 13a and the upper end 17a of the pedestal. ,
The parts placed on the pedestal also fall down and are neatly stacked on the bottom of the pedestal.

Therefore, the above-mentioned problems can be eliminated.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which the recording paper 12 ejected from the facsimile 11 is guided through the guide 1 connected to the upper opening 13a of the stacker 13.
Fall along 4. There is a Z inside Statuka 13.
A letter-shaped (or step-shaped) pedestal 17 and an opening 1
A tape 18 for controlling the posture of the recording paper 12 is provided, one end of which is attached to the upper part of the recording paper 3a, and the free end of which is extended onto the pedestal 17.

The Z-shaped pedestal 17 is located on the opposite side of the upper opening 13a, and is arranged in a position such that the recording paper 12 falling through the guide 14 is received by the mountain side 17b of the Z-shaped pedestal 17, and the upper opening 13a is opposite to the upper opening 13a. A space 13b is provided between the portion 13a and the upper end portion 17a of the pedestal so that B4 size paper can fall into the lower recording paper storage portion 19 while being bent in a U-shape. Note that 15 is a consumables storage section, and 16 is a telephone stand.

The ability to store the discharged recording sheets 12 in an orderly manner will be described in detail below.

Figure 3 shows how A4 size recording paper is stored. The recording paper 12 that has fallen along the guide 14 jumps out of the guide 14 and falls onto a pedestal 17 that is approximately Z-shaped. At this time, the tape 18 plays the role of friction control and works to moderately hold down the recording paper 12 so that the recording paper 12, which has been flying vigorously, does not bend. Further, the rear end of the stored recording paper hangs downward due to gravity, and becomes a guide surface for the next recording paper to fall. Therefore, the leading edge of the recording paper that falls next is neatly stored on the pedestal without hitting the trailing edge of the recording paper that fell first.

By repeating the above operations, as shown in Figure 3,
A4 size recording paper is neatly stored on the pedestal 17 of the stacker 13.

Further, FIG. 4 illustrates stacking of B4 size recording paper. Unlike A4 size,
The recording paper controlled by the tape 18 is bent to the extent that it is longer than the A4 size, like the recording paper 21, and after that, it goes through the process of being in a posture like the recording paper 22, the recording paper 23, and so on.
The sheets are neatly stacked in a recording paper storage section 19 provided on the lower bottom surface of the pedestal 17 of the stacker 13.

That is, A4 size recording paper and B4 size recording paper are stored separately on the pedestal 17 and on the recording paper storage section 19 provided on the bottom surface of the lower part of the pedestal 17, respectively.

(Effects of the invention) As explained in detail above, according to the invention, since the recording paper posture control member is provided inside the stacker, the recording paper that jumps into the stacker is controlled and its posture is always regulated so that it does not bend. can be prevented. In addition, since the step-like or Z-shaped pedestal is provided below the recording paper attitude control member, the recording paper can be stored neatly on the pedestal by the attitude control member, and longer recording paper can be stored in an orderly manner. The long part first falls into a space without a pedestal, and then the part on the pedestal also falls, allowing it to be stored in an orderly manner on the bottom surface below the pedestal.
