Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The power of the word processor is opened and closed by inserting and removing the floppy disk into and from the floppy disk device. [Structure] A power switch 6 which is operated by the operation of an L-shaped lever 3 of a floppy disk device 1 is provided in the floppy disk device. When the floppy disk is inserted into the floppy disk device, the L-shaped lever of the floppy disk device is actuated to push the knob 5 of the power switch to turn on the power switch.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word processor (hereinafter referred to as a word processor) and the like, and to a device for opening and closing a power supply of a word processor by inserting and removing a floppy disk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the power switch of office equipment should be placed at a position where the operator can easily operate it. However,
Since the power supply unit of laptop type word processors and personal computers is at the rear of the equipment, the power switch must be placed around it. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to turn on the power of the device. It is a general usage of word processors and the like to remove the floppy disk from the floppy disk device when the use of the device is finished and to insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk device again when the device is used. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a device in which the power source of the device is opened and closed by inserting and removing the floppy disk into and from the floppy disk device.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and the power supply of a word processor is opened and closed by inserting and removing the floppy disk into and from the floppy disk device.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, in a floppy disk device mounted on a word processor or the like, an L-shaped lever of the floppy disk device for pushing out a floppy disk inserted in the floppy disk device is provided. The present invention provides a floppy disk device with a power switch, characterized in that a power switch of a word processor that operates in conjunction with each other is provided in the floppy disk device.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the L of the floppy disk device is
The floppy disk drive is equipped with a power switch that operates in conjunction with the operation of the L-shaped lever. When the floppy disk device is inserted into the floppy disk device, the L-shaped lever of the floppy disk device is activated to push the knob of the power switch to turn on the power switch. Press the eject button of the floppy disk device and remove the floppy disk from the floppy disk device. At this time, the L-shaped lever of the floppy disk device pushes the floppy disk outward and returns to the neutral position, and at the same time, the knob of the power switch is released to turn off the power switch.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of a floppy disk device with a power switch of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view including a partial sectional view of the floppy disk device with a power switch of the present invention. In the figure, (a) is a view in which the floppy disk is not included in the floppy disk device, and (b) is a view in which the floppy disk is included in the floppy disk device.
A floppy disk device 1 is mounted on a word processor or the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes an eject button, which is pressed when the floppy disk is taken out from the floppy disk device. Reference numeral 3 is an L-shaped lever. When the eject button 2 is pressed, the L-shaped lever is activated to push the floppy disk out of the floppy disk device. 6 is a power switch, and 5 is a knob, and when the knob is pushed, the power switch is turned on, and when the knob is released, the power switch is turned off. Power switch 6
Although not shown, the word processor is connected to the power source section of the word processor, and the word processor is operated and stopped by opening and closing the power switch 6. In FIG. 1A, since the floppy disk is not in the floppy disk device 1, the L-shaped lever 3 is in the neutral position, the knob 5 of the power switch 6 is open, and the power switch 6 is off. In FIG. 1 (b),
The floppy disk is in a state of being inserted into the floppy disk device 1. The L-shaped lever 3 is moved to a steady state and the knob 5 of the power switch 6 is pushed. The power switch 6 is turned on and the word processor is activated. In this state,
When the eject button 2 is pressed, the L-shaped lever 3 is pulled by the spring 4, so that it returns to the neutral position and pushes the floppy disk out of the floppy disk device 1. In FIG. 2, (a) is a diagram in which the floppy disk 7 is not included in the floppy disk device 1, and (b) is a diagram in which the floppy disk 7 is included in the floppy disk device 1. When the floppy disk 7 is not in the floppy disk device 1, the knob 5 of the power switch 6 is open and the switch is off. When the floppy disk 7 is inserted into the floppy disk device 1, the knob 5 of the power switch 6 is pushed downward by the floppy disk 7, the power switch 6 is turned on, and the word processor operates. When the eject button 2 is pressed in this state, the floppy 7 is pushed out of the floppy disk device 1 and the power switch 6 is turned off.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, the power supply of the word processor can be opened and closed by simply inserting and removing the floppy disk from the floppy disk device, so that it is not necessary to operate the power switch.
