Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a time recorder that can be installed in either vertical or horizontal orientation.

[Prior Art] Conventional time recorders are mainly vertical type in which a card insertion slot is opened on the top surface and a panel board for operation and display is mounted facing upward. Therefore, if the time recorder is installed in a location with height restrictions, such as under a counter or a shelf, the time card cannot be inserted, which places restrictions on the installation. I will receive it. Therefore,
In places with height restrictions, it has been considered to use the vertical time recorder by laying it down.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in conventional time recorders, the time card is always printed on the surface (front side) of the card so that it can be visually checked by the user (printer), and the panel board is also printed on the front side so that the person printing can see it straight. If you turn the recorder sideways so that the card insertion slot faces toward you (front) and the printed side of the inserted time card faces upward, the panel board will The top and bottom are upside down, which hinders operation and confirmation.
Additionally, if the recorder is laid down on its back so that the panel board faces the front side correctly toward the printer, the card insertion slot will now face the opposite side, making it difficult to insert the time card. I have a problem coming up.

In addition, in order to solve the above problems and meet the wide range of needs of purchasers, a time recorder exclusively for horizontal type, in which the time card is inserted from the horizontal direction, has been developed, but two types of recorders, vertical and horizontal, have been developed. The problem is that the number of parts increases, which increases manufacturing costs, and above all, it is impossible to determine whether or not the location where the time recorder is installed is subject to height restrictions unless you visit the site directly. This caused problems such as the delivery date being delayed due to having to take the product back to the factory to change the model, or delivery being unable to be made due to a shortage of models.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to easily change the format of the time recorder on the spot according to the installation location or the purchaser's request, without replacing parts or adding new parts. To enable the display to be changed to either a vertical or horizontal format so that the display can be viewed straight from the front.

[Means for solving problems]

The measures taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

In a time recorder that has a card insertion slot on one end face of the recorder body, which is made entirely in a box shape, and prints work data by inserting a time card through this insertion slot, (1) the other end face of the recorder body and A vertical type with rubber feet for placement attached to each end and a card insertion slot for the recorder body with one end facing upward;
Similarly, it should be configured so that it can be used in any horizontal type with one end facing forward.

(2) The other end surface of the recorder main body connected to the one end surface is formed as an inclined surface that gradually slopes toward the one end surface,
A mounting opening shall be opened on this inclined surface.

(3) Mounting bracket pieces are provided on both the board on which the display device and operating device are attached, and the panel board that covers the top surface of the board with the display device and operating device installed in the respective installation holes. The circuit board and panel board are configured so that they can be mounted using these bracket pieces to the mounting opening of the recorder main body, with their orientations being different by 180 degrees up and down so that the printer can see the display directly. to do.

[Effect]

The above means works as follows.

The element (1) above has rubber feet for placement on the other end and one side, so the recorder can be used either vertically with the card slot facing upwards or horizontally with the card slot facing forward. You can also freely change and use it.

The above element (2) enables the inclined surface with the mounting opening to face the person printing the time, making it easy to see, regardless of whether the recorder body is used vertically or horizontally.

The element (3) above is a display device in which the recorder body is placed in a vertical position with the card insertion slot facing upward, and a board and a panel board are provided on the board for the mounting slot on the inclined surface facing the front. If the operating device is installed in the assembly hole of the panel board so that it can be checked and operated from the front side, and if it is installed with both bracket pieces facing the front side, the time card can be inserted and removed in the vertical direction. While it is possible to provide a vertical time recorder that can be used for By turning the time recorder up and down 180° and reattaching it to the installation opening on the inclined surface using each bracket piece, you can place the vertical time recorder above with the time card in front without changing or adding any parts. This makes it possible to change from a time recorder to a horizontal time recorder that is used by inserting and removing it in the horizontal direction, and furthermore, it also makes it possible to easily switch from the horizontal type to the above-mentioned vertical type.

As described above, the above-mentioned technical problem can be solved by the above-mentioned means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
