Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] A roll-shaped recording paper 5 that is sandwiched between the thermal head 1 and the platen roller 2 and sent in the longitudinal direction together with the print recording, and from the upper surface of the roll-shaped recording paper 5 by the operation of the solenoid 4 when necessary. A cutting blade 3 protruding to cut the roll-shaped recording paper 5 into a required width in the width direction thereof. The cutting blade 3 is provided on the rear side of the thermal head 1 with respect to the feeding direction of the roll-shaped recording paper 5. Moreover, it is movable to any position in the width direction. When the recording width is narrower than the recording paper width, the cutting blade 3 cuts the recording paper width at the cut surface 3a or 3b. [Effect] When recording is performed narrower than the loaded recording paper width, the recording paper can be automatically cut to fit the recording width.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

  The present invention relates to a cutter used in a facsimile machine or the like, and particularly to a width of loaded recording paper. If the recording width is narrow, the recording width adjustment cutter cuts the recording paper according to the recording width. Regarding

[0002]

[Prior art]

  Conventionally, this type of cutter does not cut according to the recording width. With a device loaded with recording paper, if the recording width is narrow, it will protrude from the file. To prevent this, cut the margins of the recording paper with a knife or scissors to save the file. I was supposed to do it.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  As mentioned above, there is no conventional cutter that cuts according to the recording width, For example, when A4 recording is performed with a device loaded with B4 recording paper, the margin end is There were drawbacks such as having to manually cut and then file.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  The recording width alignment cutter of the present invention is sandwiched between the print head and platen roller for printing. A roll-shaped recording paper sent in the longitudinal direction of the recording paper together with the recording, and the roll if necessary. Cut from the upper surface of the roll-shaped recording paper to cut the roll-shaped recording paper to the required width. It has a cutting edge.

[0005]

【Example】

  Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0006]   FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1 (a) is a plan view and FIG. 1 (b) is a side view. is there.

[0007]   In the present embodiment, the thermal head 1 and the platen roller 2 are sandwiched between the print head and the print head, and The roll-shaped recording paper 5 sent in the longitudinal direction of the The roll-shaped recording paper 5 is protruded from the upper surface of the roll-shaped recording paper 5 to a required width in the width direction. A cutting blade 3 for cutting, and the cutting blade 3 faces the feeding direction of the roll-shaped recording paper 5. Is provided on the rear side of the thermal head 1 and can be freely moved to any position in the width direction. ing.

[0008]   The operation of this embodiment will be described. Roll recording paper 5 Although it is sandwiched between the pad 1 and the platen roller 2 and is sent in the direction of arrow A, printing is recorded. At this time, if the recording width is narrower than the recording paper width, the solenoid 4 operates and the cutting blade 3 is lifted in the direction of the arrow B to be projected on the upper surface of the roll-shaped recording paper 5. Platen ro As the roll-shaped recording paper 5 moves in the direction of arrow A by the rotation of the roller 2, The cutting blade 3 cuts the width of the recording paper.

[0009]   The cutting blade 3 can be moved to any position in the recording paper width direction (arrow C direction). For example, if the roll recording paper 5 is B4 size and the recording width is A4 recording, the cut surface Cut at 3a, and when the recording width is B5 recording, cut at the cutting surface 3b. It can be moved to the required position. Also, the cutting blade 3 is a roll It is provided on the rear side of the thermal head 1 with respect to the feeding direction of the recording paper (direction of arrow A). Therefore, the non-cut portion indicated by the dimension L is left at the tip of the cut portion. As a result, the subsequent transportation path It is possible to prevent jamming of the leading edge of the recording paper inside. This uncut section is It can be easily separated just before the file.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

  As described above, according to the present invention, by adding the recording width cutting function, When recording is made narrower than the specified recording paper width, the recording paper is automatically adjusted to the recording width. There is an effect that can be cut.
