In FIG. 2, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. According to FIG. 2, the arm 20 has a fixed shaft 24 in addition to the rotary shaft 21. The rotating portion 30 has a rotary shaft hole 31 through which the rotary shaft 21 penetrates in the central portion, and two fixing grooves 32 into which the fixed shaft 24 is fitted and fixed at a target position around the rotary shaft hole 31. The rotary shaft hole 31 has a length substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotary shaft 21, and the rotary shaft 21 can be moved in the front / rear direction (left and right in the drawing) and in the front / bottom direction (up and down in the drawing). Has little play. The fixing groove 32 is the rotary shaft hole 31.
It has a symmetrical shape with respect to the front and back, is almost straight, and has a groove slightly longer than the diameter of the fixed shaft 24.
It has an opening through which the fixed shaft 24 can be pulled out in the bottom direction on the outside centering on 31.

The broken line in FIG. 2 shows one end of the arm 20 and is fixed at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. That is, the fixed shaft 24 is inserted from the opening of the fixing groove 32 on the rear side (right) and is inserted on the front side (left).
It is fitted and fixed in the direction. When the arm 20 is pushed in the direction of arrow A1 on the rear side (right) and then the arm 20 is rotated about the rotary shaft 21 in the direction of arrow A2 on the bottom side (down), the fixed shaft 24 moves to the right fixed groove.

That is, the main body of the present invention can be used in the same form as the conventional one, and it is also possible to use the main body by tilting the main body and storing the recording paper at the bottom.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the recording paper is explained, but the dedicated transmission machine does not need the recording paper. Although it has been described with reference to FIG. 2 that the rotating unit rotates the arm body by 180 degrees, the structure of the rotating unit is not limited to the above description, and therefore the rotation angle is not fixed. For example, the rotation shaft may rotate at a fixed position and the bottom of the arm may stop with the main body as a stop surface, and the stop surface may be a protrusion. The rotation surface of the arm can be freely set on the stop surface formed by the protrusion. The arm is described as L-shaped, and the two left and right arms are fixed to the shaft and the two fulcrums are the fulcrums, but the shape is free and can be straight, curved, flat, or curved. Any one of them may be used as long as the main body has two contact points on the desk surface. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the shape of the main body and the position where the arms are arranged. Further, although the size is described as being small, the size is not limited. The arm may have a detachable structure. The rotating shaft, the fixed shaft, and the disposing shaft are not limited to the structures because they can be formed by protrusions when the arm body is formed by one rigid body at a portion forming a fulcrum.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the facsimile apparatus of the present invention, the rotatable arm is provided in the main body, and the arm forms the supporting leg on the bottom surface of the main body, so that the main body is disposed obliquely, The effect of reducing the occupied area on the desk or floor can be obtained.

In particular, miniaturized facsimile machines are expected to become popular.
