Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a support structure in a small image processing apparatus such as a small copying machine such as a desktop type or a personal type.

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as image processing apparatuses such as copying machines, there are known ones that move a document table to perform exposure scanning of a document, and ones that fix a document table and move an optical system to perform exposure scanning of a document. . In an image processing apparatus having such a reciprocating moving part, since the moving part is considerably heavy,
The inertial force at the time of starting and stopping the movement of the moving part, and further at the time of reversing may be a cause of vibration. Therefore, in a conventional copying machine or the like, for example, four leg portions having elasticity such as synthetic rubber are attached to the lower surface of the copying machine body to absorb the vibration of the copying machine body and propagate the vibration to other parts. It is known to prevent this.

The reason why the synthetic rubber or the like is used for the support legs is that the synthetic rubber exerts a vibration absorbing function for the above, and the support legs are formed of, for example, a roller or a synthetic resin having good slidability. This is because the inconvenience that the main body of the image processing apparatus moves due to the vibration occurs.

When the main body of an image processing apparatus such as a copying machine is large, there is no problem in forming all four legs as described above with synthetic rubber or providing casters, but it has been developed in recent years. In a small image processing device such as a personal copy that is placed on a desk or the like,
The vibration absorbing property and the movement preventing property described above conflict with each other,
There is a problem in constructing all the four legs with elastic members such as synthetic rubber.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

That is, with the above personal copy, when not in use, it is placed in a corner of the desk so that it does not get in the way, while when in use, there is a desire to pull it near by hand and operate it easily. Need to be able to move to. However, the above 4
If you try to support it with individual synthetic rubber legs,
Although there is no concern that the installation position will shift due to vibration, in order to move the machine, you cannot slide it on the desk, you have to lift and move all four legs, which makes the operation easier. It was bad.

Here, it is conceivable that all four legs are made of a material such as synthetic resin, which has good slipperiness. In this case, although the transportability is improved, the installation position is deviated by the vibration of the machine and becomes unstable. There was a problem that one could not stand and the other could not.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems caused by the conflicting causes all at once by skillfully improving the legs.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the main means adopted by the present invention is to support a small image processing apparatus main body having a reciprocating moving part on the installation surface by a plurality of legs provided on the lower surface thereof. In the structure, at least two or more legs of the plurality of legs are made of a rubber member, and two or more legs made of the rubber member are provided directly below the driving force transmitting unit to the moving unit. It is arranged in the vicinity along the moving direction of the moving portion, and the other leg of the plurality of leg portions is provided on the side opposite to the two or more leg portions made of the rubber member and the device body or its cover. The supporting structure of the small-sized image processing apparatus according to the point that it is integrally formed of a material having better slidability than the rubber member with respect to the installation surface.

[Action]

Since a part of the plurality of legs is made of a rubber member, and the rubber member is provided in the vicinity of immediately below the driving force transmitting portion to the moving portion along the moving direction of the moving portion, Vibration of the moving section is absorbed by this rubber member, and the installation state of the image processing apparatus main body is stabilized.

Further, the remaining legs are formed integrally with the main body of the apparatus or its cover by a material such as a metal or a synthetic resin having a good sliding control with respect to the installation surface, so that they are slippery and made of the above rubber member. By lifting only the legs so that the image processing device body can be easily moved on the desk, it is possible to solve the problems due to conflicting causes such as stability of installation state and portability all at once. .

In addition, the following embodiments are merely examples embodying the present invention,
It does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention can be applied to the case where the number of legs is other than four.

In this embodiment, two of the four legs 1
As shown in FIG. 2 (c), a and 1b are constructed by mounting a rubber member 4 on a mounting portion 3 formed on the bottom portion 2 of the copying machine main body. In addition, the remaining legs 1c and 1d are
As shown in FIG. 2 (b), it is formed integrally with the main body of the copying machine or the cover, and is made of metal or synthetic resin having better sliding properties than the rubber member with respect to the installation surface.

FIG. 3 shows a small copying machine 5 having such legs 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d. In this case, the document table 6 is shown by a broken line on the left side in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (c). It is of a type that moves from the position to the position indicated by the one-dot chain line on the right side. Therefore, this is an example in which the document table 6 constitutes a moving unit.

The document table 6 is supported by a slide rail mechanism 7 on the upper surface of the small copying machine 5 so as to be reciprocally movable, and its driving force is provided by a rack 8 mounted on the bottom surface of the document table 6 and a pinion 9 meshing with the rack 8 for the small copying machine 5.
