Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a printing paper feed structure for a laptop type word processor (hereinafter abbreviated as word processor) device and the like, and relates to a printing paper which is inserted from the front part of a display unit.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In laptop-type word processors or small computer devices, a thin display unit such as a liquid crystal display panel is provided behind the keyboard for inputting characters, etc., so that it can be rotated so that it can be folded over the keyboard. Some of them are designed to be used with the parts upright at an appropriate angle. In most of such devices, the printing unit is arranged behind the display unit, and when feeding the printing paper, there is the trouble of having to tilt the display unit forward to feed the printing paper. However, since the display screen faces downward, there is a problem in that it is difficult to see the screen showing the progress of printing (page count, etc.).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a feed port for printing paper in the front part of the display unit so that the display screen can be fed without tilting forward.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention displays a character input by a required key operation on a display unit rotatably provided behind a key operation unit and is provided behind the display unit. In a word processor or the like that prints on print paper fed by the print unit, a paper feed port for inserting print paper for feeding to the print unit is provided at the front of the display unit, and the display unit is provided. It provides a printing paper feed structure for a word processor that is configured by providing a discharge port for discharging printed paper at the rear of the.

[0005]

With the above-described configuration, in the printing paper feeding structure of the word processor according to the present invention, when printing is performed, the display unit of the word processing device or the like is kept upright at an appropriate angle, and The printing paper is fed from the paper feed port provided in the section.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a printing paper feeding structure of a word processor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an outline of an embodiment of a printing paper feeding structure of a word processor according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of an essential part of an embodiment of a printing paper feeding structure of a word processor according to the present invention. .

First, in FIG. 1, 1 is a main body of a word processing device or the like, and 2 is a printing unit. 3 is a keyboard for inputting characters to be printed. Reference numeral 4 denotes a display unit, which is made thin by using, for example, a liquid crystal display plate, and is arranged on the main body unit 1 so as to be rotatable back and forth via a connecting unit 5. Reference numeral 6 is a paper feed port for printing paper. A lid 7 is opened and closed to replace the ink ribbon for the printing unit 2 and the like.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a printing paper, which is inserted from the paper feed port 6 in the direction of arrow a, inserted and attached, and discharged from the discharge port 12 in the direction of arrow b. 13 is a platen roller of the printing unit 2. A print head 14 prints on the print paper 11 fed onto the platen roller 13. Reference numeral 15 is an ink ribbon for printing.

Next, the operation of the print sheet feeding structure of the word processor according to the present invention will be described. The printing paper 11 is inserted from the paper feed port 6 of the word processing device or the like in the direction of arrow A, and printing is started by operating the necessary keys on the keyboard 3 or the like. In response to the key operation, the word processor, etc. reads the data for printing set in the document etc. and drives the paper feed roller and platen roller 13 not shown to move the printing paper 11 onto the platen roller 13. The paper is fed to and the print head 14 is driven to print. The printed paper is discharged from the discharge port 12 in the direction of the arrow B. As a result, the printing paper 11 can be fed to the printing unit 2 while the display unit 4 is upright at an appropriate angle, and the lid 7 is made of a transparent material so that printing can be performed through the lid 7. The movement of the head 14 or the feeding of the printing paper 11 can be seen.

The lid 7 is provided with, for example, a liquid crystal display plate capable of displaying one line, and data such as characters read for printing is generated into a required display signal by a signal processing unit (not shown). Alternatively, it may be displayed on the liquid crystal display panel. In this way, it is possible to see the print before the printed paper 11 is discharged from the discharge port 12.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the printing paper feeding structure of the word processor according to the present invention, the printing paper can be fed while the display part of the laptop type word processor device is upright at an appropriate angle. , It is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of tilting the display unit forward every time printing is performed as in the past, and since the printing unit is upright, the printing progress (how many pages are being printed) can be displayed on the display screen. It's convenient that you can check it and see how the paper is fed through the transparent lid, which can solve the inconvenience of the laptop type. Also, by displaying the characters being printed on the display screen for one line, it is convenient to check the printing before the printing paper is ejected.
