Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a recording paper stocker, and more particularly to a recording paper stocker suitable for a recording apparatus using roll paper without an automatic cutter unit.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, a simplified facsimile machine for personal use has been provided at a low price. The recording device that constitutes the plotter section of this facsimile uses roll paper as recording paper, leaves the recorded roll paper to spontaneously drop from the discharge port of the device body, and cuts it by the operator when necessary. And so on. Therefore, the recording paper stocker that stocks recording paper has not been considered.
Also, the automatic cutter unit was not considered.

As a related technique, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-203656 can be cited.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the above-mentioned conventional technique, since the recorded roll paper (recording paper) is naturally dropped and left, there is a problem that the recording paper is damaged or soiled. In addition, since the recording paper was cut by hand when it was cut, it was difficult to cut the recording paper while keeping the recorded portion accurately. Further, since the recorded roll paper is left to naturally drop from the discharge port, if the number of received sheets increases, a long paper is output from the facsimile apparatus, and the operator has trouble with the processing. In addition, such a manual cutter type facsimile apparatus is often used for personal use, and considering that there are space restrictions in the installation environment, leaving a long paper sheet becomes even more problematic.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve such problems of the related art, to prevent the recording paper from becoming dirty with a simple structure, and to accurately cut the recording paper in conjunction with the attachment / detachment operation. It is to provide a removable recording paper stocker.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the recording paper stocker of the present invention is a means for accommodating recorded roll paper (1 in FIG. 1).
0), a means for attaching / detaching the storage means to / from the recording apparatus main body (6, 7 in FIG. 1), a means for cutting roll paper (9 in FIG. 1), and an operation button for attachment / detachment (in FIG. 1). And 8), and is characterized in that the cutting means cuts the roll paper in conjunction with the operation of detaching the button from the recording apparatus main body by the operation of the button.

[Action]

In the present invention, since the roll paper (recording paper) can be cut by the cutting means (cutter) at the same time when the recording paper stocker is attached / detached, accurate cutting can be performed.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional structural view of a recording paper stocker showing an embodiment of the present invention. This shows a state in which it is attached to the main body of the recording apparatus with a detachable structure.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a roll paper for recording, 2 is a platen roller that pushes out the roll paper 1, 3 is a recording thermal head, 4 is a recording apparatus main body cover, 5 is a stocker main body 12 is attached to the recording apparatus main body cover 4. For mounting, 6 is a movable claw for mounting, 7 is a fixed claw for mounting,
8 is a detachable operation button, 9 is a cutter blade for cutting the recorded roll paper (recording paper) 1, 10 is a recording paper storage unit for storing recording paper, 11 is paper in the recording paper storage unit 10,
Pass, 12 is the stocker body. The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

Information is recorded on the roll paper 1 by the thermal head 3, and the recorded roll paper 1 is the platen roller 2
Is sent to the stocker body 12. The paper that has entered the recording paper storage unit 10 is stocked along the circular cross section as in the paper path 11. This state is maintained even after the recording operation is completed. As a result, the paper that has entered the recording paper storage unit 10 is protected by the stocker main body 12, so that it is possible to prevent scattering, damage, and stain of the recorded paper.

Next, the cutting of the recording paper and the attachment / detachment from the stocker body 12 by the operator will be described.

First, when the operator presses the operation button 8, the cutter blade 9 fixed to the operation button 8 cuts the paper, and at the same time, the claw 6 is also lowered and disengaged from the hole 5. Therefore, the stocker main body 12 can be removed from the recording apparatus main body cover 4 while holding the cut paper in the recording paper storage unit 10. Here, since the cutting of the paper is performed by the cutter blade 9, it is extremely easily and surely performed as compared with the conventional manual cutting.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the recording paper cut from one open side surface of the stocker body 12 can be easily taken out from the storage section 10. Further, the empty stocker body 12 is attached to the recording apparatus body cover 4 by repeating the above operation.

As described above, in this embodiment, the recording paper stocker having a simple structure is detachably attached to the recording apparatus, so that a problem such as stain on the recording paper does not occur.

Further, although the recording paper accommodating portion has a circular cross-section structure in the present embodiment, the shape may be changed and applied to a wall-mounted type facsimile apparatus.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, with a simple configuration,
The recording paper can be prevented from becoming dirty, the recording paper can be accurately cut in conjunction with the attachment / detachment operation, and a recording paper stocker that can be detachably attached to the recording apparatus main body can be realized.
