Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to individual packaging of image forming sheets used in an image forming apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an image forming apparatus is equipped with a sheet storage means for automatically feeding an image forming sheet.
The number of sheets that can be stored in this sheet storage means is generally about 250 sheets. Further, the image forming paper is usually packed with cellophane paper or the like in units of 100 to 500 for reasons of use, storage, transportation, etc., and sealed by gluing or the like.

Therefore, when the image forming sheets are stored in the sheet storing means, if the number of packages is small, a plurality of wrapping sheets are torn, and the number of storable image forming sheets is set and set in the sheet storing means. If the number of stored sheets is larger than the number of sheets stored in the sheet storage means, only the number of stored sheets is taken out and set in the sheet storage means. At this time, the remaining image forming paper is stored separately for future use.

[0004]

However, as described above, when the image forming paper is set in the paper storing means, the glued wrapping paper is torn, taken out once from the wrapping paper, and set in a necessary number. However, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to set the paper, and the remaining paper must be stored separately.

In view of such problems of the conventional packaging of the image forming paper, the present invention eliminates the need to take out the image forming paper from the wrapping paper, and thus can be set with one touch in the paper storing means. It is another object of the present invention to provide individual packaging of image forming paper without leaving excess paper.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an individual packaging of image forming paper, which comprises image forming paper and packaging means for packaging the image forming paper, wherein the packaging means is box-shaped and has a predetermined shape. Part of the upper and lower surfaces that are continuous with the side surface and that surface,
An image forming operation in which an upper surface is cut away so that a corner is left and a separable lid is attached to cover the cut out portion, and an image forming sheet having a storage capacity equal to or less than a storage capacity of a sheet storage unit of the image forming apparatus is stored. It is a piece of paper.

[0007]

In the present invention, by closing the lid, one side surface of the packaging means and a part of the upper and lower surfaces continuous with the surface are cut off. Then, the image forming paper is placed in the paper storage means and set as it is with the remaining wrapping paper. Alternatively, the sheets may be set in the sheet storage means and then sealed.
By exposing a part of the paper in this way, the paper feed roller can feed paper.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wrapping paper 26 which is a packaging means according to the present invention.

That is, in FIG. 1A, a rectangular cover sheet A is divided into two lines 101, 102 on three sides 103, 104, 105.
It is bent so as to constitute. In the same figure (b), a part of one side surface of the box-shaped main body paper B is removed, and further, a part of the upper surface 106 is cut into a rectangle leaving the corners 111 and 112, and the bottom surface 107 is similarly cut. FIG. 3C is an assembly of the cover paper A and the main body paper B of FIGS. 1A and 1B, and the cover paper A of FIG. To form. The lid A is configured such that the adhesive surface along the side thereof can be easily opened with the sealing tape 41 or the like.

Next, when the wrapping paper 26 containing the image forming paper 11 is used, the sealing tape 41 is pulled to remove the lid A, and the paper is placed on the paper storage means 10 as it is (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 3, when the main body paper B is set as it is in the image forming apparatus 90, the paper feed roller 121 comes into contact with the image forming paper 11 that is cut off and exposed on the upper surface 106 and is ready for use. Further, the portions 111 and 112 of the surface left in the cutout portion of the upper surface 106 have a function of separating claws for feeding the image forming sheets 11 one by one. The lever 122 is for pushing up the sheet 11 from below and bringing it into contact with the sheet feeding roller 121.

In the above embodiment, the side surface and the upper surface 106
3 part of the bottom surface 107 was cut off,
As shown in FIG. 3, a part of the side surface and the upper surface may be cut off, a cover A that can be easily removed may be attached, and the cover A may be removed by a sealing tape after the cover A is placed on the sheet storage means 10. At this time, perforations are provided on the bottom surface of the wrapping paper B so that a part of the bottom surface of the wrapping paper B remaining on the paper 11 side can be broken by the pushing force of the lever 122.
The bottom surface thereof is pushed up by the lever 122 to break a part of the bottom surface provided with the perforations, and further pushed up by the lever 122 to bring the paper 11 into contact with the paper feed roller 121.

The material of the wrapping paper in the above embodiment is not limited in flexibility and frictional force.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention comprises an image forming paper and a packaging means for packaging the image forming paper, and the packaging means is box-shaped and has one predetermined side surface. Section and a part of the upper and lower surfaces continuous with the surface are cut so that the corners of the upper surface are left, and a separable lid is attached to cover the cut portion, and the sheet storage of the image forming apparatus is performed. Since the image forming paper having a storage capacity equal to or smaller than the storage capacity of the means is stored, it is not necessary to take out the image forming paper from the wrapping paper. Therefore, it can be set in the paper storing means with one touch, and no extra image forming paper remains. It has the advantage.

Also, the corners of the upper surface are convenient because they serve as separating claws.

Further, since the image forming paper is covered by the box-shaped wrapping paper except the part necessary for paper feeding, the paper is not scattered even if the wrapping paper is turned upside down. It also has sex.

It is also convenient because it is excellent in preventing moisture absorption.
