Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a facsimile device having a telephone function as well as a hand scanner as a document reading unit.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As shown in FIG. 5, the external appearance of a conventional facsimile apparatus is such that a hand scanner 2 is detachably provided on an upper portion of a facsimile apparatus main body 1, and a handset 3 is further provided on one side of the main body 1. .. If the hand scanner 2 and the handset 3 are provided in the facsimile apparatus main body 2 in separate housings in this manner, two spaces for the hand scanner 2 and the handset 3 are required, and the facsimile is required. It had the drawback of becoming a bottleneck in downsizing the entire device.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional facsimile machine, since the hand scanner and the handset exist independently in different housings, a space for arranging the handscanner and the handset is required in the main body of the facsimile machine. However, there is a drawback that it becomes a bottleneck in downsizing the entire facsimile machine.

Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus in which a hand scanner and a handset are housed in a single housing and the size of the apparatus can be easily reduced. There is.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a facsimile apparatus having a hand scanner for reading an original and converting it into image data and a telephone function, a hand scanner for transmitting the hand scanner, a receiver for collecting the voice and converting the voice into a voice signal. It has a configuration in which and are housed in a single housing.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, a reading unit for reading an original and converting it into image data, a transmitter for transmitting voice, and a receiver for collecting voice and converting it into a voice signal are integrally housed in a single housing in the facsimile apparatus of the present invention. Therefore, the casing functions as an image reading unit by moving the reading unit in close contact with the document and also as a normal handset.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing the external appearance of an embodiment of the facsimile device of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a facsimile apparatus main body, 4 is a detachable upper portion of the facsimile apparatus main body 1, a handset having a hand-held scanner function with a built-in contact sensor, and 7 is a cordless handset having the handset 4 connected to the body 1. It is a card.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing details of the handset 4 shown in FIG. The back part of the handset 4 has a lid 41. When the lid 41 is opened, the contact sensor 5 and the roller 6 for moving the contact sensor 5 along a document (not shown) are arranged as shown in the figure. Installed, it constitutes the reading unit of the hand scanner function. Further, in the figure, reference numeral 42 denotes a receiver section, which has a built-in microphone for reception in this portion, and 43 denotes a transmitter section, which has a speaker for transmission in this portion, which constitute a telephone function.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the facsimile machine shown in FIG. The handset 4 is detachably attached to the upper portion of the facsimile device main body 1, and the contact sensor 5 and the roller 6 are provided inside the lid 41. Further, a drive circuit board 8 for driving the contact sensor 5 is built in the housing of the handset 4. Although not shown here, a microphone and a speaker for a telephone function are also built in the housing of the handset 4. Inside the casing of the one-way facsimile machine main body 1, an operation panel board 9, a control board 10 on which various circuits and parts for controlling the apparatus are mounted, a power supply unit for supplying power to the facsimile machine body 1 and the handset 4. 11 are provided. Further, 12 is a roll-shaped thermosensitive recording paper, 13 is a conveying roller for conveying the thermosensitive recording paper 12, 14 is a thermosensitive head for printing data on the recording paper 12, and these are also arranged in the main body 1. Has been done.

Next, a method of using this embodiment will be described. When using the telephone function, the handset 4 is taken and the part of the transmitter 42 is put on the mouth and the part of the receiver 43 is put on the ear. On the other hand, when the manuscript or the like is desired to be read, the transmitter / receiver 4 is removed and the lid 41 at the back portion thereof is opened to expose the contact sensor unit 5 and the roller 6. After that, the contact sensor unit 5 is brought into contact with the document 15 shown in FIG. 4, and the handset 4 is moved in the direction of arrow A, so that the image and characters on the document 3 are converted into image data by the contact sensor 5. Can be converted. The image data thus obtained is transmitted to the facsimile apparatus main body 1 through the code 7, subjected to various kinds of image processing, and then transmitted or displayed.

According to this embodiment, the hand scanner function is provided in the housing of the handset 4, and the image reading function and the handset function, which are separate bodies, are provided together in one housing. It is only necessary to provide a space for mounting the handset 4 in the main body 1 of the apparatus, and it is possible to easily reduce the size of the entire facsimile apparatus. In the above embodiment, when the handset 4 is used as a hand scanner, the original 14 is read with the lid 41 still attached as shown in FIG. 4, but the lid 41 is completely removed. You can also do it.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, the hand scanner and the handset can be housed in one housing, and the size of the apparatus can be easily reduced.
