Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A new printing device equipped with a jogger mechanism capable of ejecting paper in at least two directions, which allows the recording paper to be easily taken out in a separated state without increasing the size of the device itself. It is intended to provide a paper ejection tray. [Effects] A surface 4 and an oblique surface 5 perpendicular to the discharge direction are bent at the rear end of the paper discharge tray 3 in which the front of the printing apparatus 1 having a jogger mechanism capable of discharging paper in at least two directions is inclined upward. Along with point A as the boundary,
Since the side wall 10 having an angle larger than the discharging angle of the obliquely discharged paper is provided on the side of the oblique surface 5, the straightly discharged paper and the obliquely discharged paper are not weighted by their own weight. By utilizing the above, there is an effect that they can be sorted and stacked in order on each surface while sliding to the rear end.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a paper receiving tray that allows paper discharged in at least two directions to be placed as it is in a sorted state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, networking has advanced, and one printing device is commonly used by connecting two or more personal computers. In such a case, it is necessary to sort the recording paper on which information from different PCs is printed, and as a means for this purpose, in the printing device such as a printer, the paper ejection tray can be moved in the lateral direction and the placement position can be changed. It has been proposed to sort the recording paper by shaking. However, this type requires a large width in the width direction as the paper receiver is moved in the horizontal direction, and thus requires a large installation space. There was a problem.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to provide a new recording paper that can be easily taken out as it is without separating the apparatus itself and in a separated state. It is to provide a proper paper receiving tray.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, according to the present invention, in a printing apparatus having a jogger mechanism capable of ejecting paper in at least two directions, the paper is ejected straight to the rear end of a paper ejection tray inclined forward. For stacking the discharged sheets and the sheets ejected at an angle, divide and form the surface perpendicular to the ejection direction and the oblique surface at the bending point as a boundary, and also to the side of the oblique surface. The feature is that a side wall with an angle larger than the sheet ejection angle for stacking sheets ejected obliquely is provided.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a printing apparatus using the paper receiving tray of the present invention. The printing apparatus main body 1 is provided with a jogger mechanism capable of discharging the paper by changing the angle of the paper as proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-154155, and discharging paper for each job. It has a structure that can be separated.

The paper discharge tray 3 is inclined upward toward the front, and its rear end wall is composed of a surface 4 and an oblique surface 5 which are perpendicular to the paper discharge direction, and the positions of the discharge rollers 6 and 7 are different from each other. The paper S, which is positioned rearward and is sent straight out from the discharge rollers 6 and 7, drops downward, and at the same time, slides backward on the discharge tray 3 and abuts the right-angled surface 4 to form an orderly stack. On the other hand, the sheets S'sently sent out from the discharge rollers 6 and 7 slide backward on the sheet discharge tray 3 and come into contact with the oblique surface 5 to be stacked obliquely.

As shown in FIG. 2, the position of the bending point A, which forms the boundary between the right-angled surface 4 and the oblique surface 5, is the center of gravity of the sheet S discharged straight and the sheet S ′ discharged obliquely. Assuming that G and G'are respectively, when the respective discharged sheets S and S'are translated rearward along the slope of the discharge tray 3, the respective centers of gravity G and G'are perpendicular to each other. 4 and the oblique surface 5 are set in the middle of these surfaces 4 and 5.

As a result, even when the sheets S ejected straight are moved rearward along the ejection tray 3 and stacked, the sheets S ejected obliquely as well without falling to the side of the oblique surface 5. S'is also stacked in an orderly manner without rotating to the side of the surface 4 at right angles.

On the other hand, the discharge tray 3 is provided with a side wall 10 which is formed on one side of the discharge tray 3 at a right angle to the slanted surface 5 so that the sheet S ′ obliquely discharged by the discharge rollers 6 and 7 can be slanted. When the deflection angle of the side wall 10 is β ° and the deflection angle of the sheet S ′ ejected obliquely is α ° so that it can be stably supported in cooperation with the surface 5 of the sheet 5, as shown in FIG. It is set so that °> α °.

With this structure, the diagonally discharged sheet S ′ hits the sheet receiving surface 10 on the left side wall by (β−α) ° while moving backward along the inclined surface of the sheet discharge tray 3. Then, the side wall 10 and the inclined surface 5 are stacked to form an orderly stack. Further, a front end of the paper discharge tray 3 has a notched line edge 12 which is partially cut out obliquely, so that a part of the front end of the paper S discharged straight out is projected. There is. Further, the obliquely discharged paper S ′ is configured to project from the front side edge 11 of the paper discharge tray 3 continuing to the side wall 10.

Note that reference numeral 9 in the drawing denotes the other side wall that gives the side edge of the sheet S that has been discharged straight.

When two or more personal computers are connected to the printing apparatus 1 configured as described above and the paper S is discharged straight and obliquely for each personal computer, each paper S, S ′ becomes a bending point A. The right-angled surface 4 and the oblique surface 5 are properly sorted, and the sorted sheets S and S'are separated by grasping the part protruding from the discharge tray 3. Can be taken out without.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a right-angled surface 54 is provided on the rear end wall of the paper discharge tray 33 for receiving the paper discharged straight, and diagonal surfaces 55 and 56 are provided on both sides thereof, and further, on both sides thereof. The slanted side walls 57 and 58 are provided so that the sheets discharged diagonally to the left and right are stacked.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the rear end of the discharge tray that is tilted obliquely upward and has the jogger mechanism that can discharge the paper in at least two directions is provided with a surface that is perpendicular to the paper discharge direction. Since the surface of the paper is provided, paper that is ejected straight and paper that is ejected diagonally can be used by using the self-weight of the paper without providing a boundary in the paper ejection receiver or providing moving parts. It can be sorted and stacked on each side while sliding to the rear end.
