Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic device having a printing function for issuing checks and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, along with the increase in the use of checks, the demand for check issuing machines for depositing and withdrawing money and deposit management associated with the issuance of checks is also increasing. In particular, there is an increasing demand for electronic devices such as check issuing devices with a printing function that directly prints a check.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the top side of a conventional check issuing machine, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the bottom side thereof. Hereinafter, a conventional check issuing machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. 1
Is a main body case, and an input unit 2 such as a keyboard for inputting data and operating instructions, and an input unit 2 on its upper surface.
A display unit 3 is provided for displaying data input from the device, data stored in storage means (not shown), and the like. An upper cover 4 is provided on one side of the body case 1 so as to be openable and closable. A lower cover 5 is attached to the lower surface of the main body case 1 by a hinge 6 so as to be openable and closable, and a check guide 7 is provided on the inner surface thereof. A printing unit 8 for printing data by a shuttle head (not shown) is provided on the bottom surface of the main body case 1, and a printed check is ejected between the main body case 1 and the lower cover 5. A paper slot 9 is formed.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, since the paper discharge port 9 is exposed to the outside, dust enters the inside of the printing unit 8 through the paper discharge port 9 and is defective in printing, especially when carrying. However, there is a problem that the print quality is likely to be deteriorated.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic device having a printing function in which dust does not enter from the paper feed port or the paper ejection port 9 and print defects do not occur.

[0006]

To this end, according to the present invention, there is provided an electronic device comprising a main body case and an upper case which is arranged on the upper surface of the main body case so as to be capable of undulating by being rotated around the base end side. The device is configured to have an input section and a display section on the upper surface of the upper case, and a paper feed opening is opened on the standing front end surface of the upper case, and a paper discharge opening is opened on the rear end surface on the base end side. In a state in which the upper case is laid down on the main body case and stored, a protrusion that closes the paper feed port is provided on the upper surface of the main body case, and a shutter is provided at the paper discharge port.

[0007]

With the above construction, when the upper case is laid down on the main body case and stored, the paper feed port or the paper discharge port is closed by the protrusion of the main body case, so that dust may enter and defective printing may occur. Can be resolved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a check issuing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing a state in which a check is installed. Reference numeral 10 denotes a main body case, and an upper case 11 is arranged on the upper surface of the main body case so as to be able to rise and fall. Means described below are arranged on the upper surface of the upper case 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes an input unit, which is provided with a data key for inputting data such as payment amount, an input mode key for registering in a recipient list, an input mode key for registering check data, and a recipient list number. It is composed of a key group such as an input mode key for inputting and a print execution key for printing data of the input check. Reference numeral 13 is a display unit such as an LCD display for displaying recipient data, list data, and the like.

An enlarged portion 14 having a substantially cylindrical cross section is provided at a lower portion of the base end portion of the upper case 11, and a printing portion 28 is accommodated inside the enlarged portion 14. This printing unit 28
Is a shuttle head printer (not shown), which includes a paper feeding mechanism, a print ribbon, and the like. This huge part 1
Reference numeral 4 denotes a pop-up mechanism rotatably coupled to the rear end of the main body case 10 by a hinge, and the upper case 11 pivots around the enlarged portion 14 to rise and fall. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the upper case 11 is laid down on the main body case 10, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show a state in which the upper case 11 is popped up into an inclined posture and a check 18 is attached. Reference numeral 16 is a contrast adjustment knob for adjusting the brightness of the display unit 13.

A check 1 is provided on the front end surface of the upper case 11 on the standing side.
A paper feed port 19 for inserting 8 is opened, and a paper discharge port 20 is opened on the rear end surface on the base end side. It is provided. In the figure, the arrow A indicates the direction in which the check 18 is fed.

A protrusion 15 is provided on the upper surface of the tip of the main body case 10.
Are projected, and the projection 15 serves as a drive battery storage section. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the state where the upper case 11 is popped up and tilted to print on the check 18, the paper feed port 1 on the front end face on the upright side is raised.
9 is exposed to the outside so that a check 18 can be inserted, but when the upper case 11 is laid down on the main body case 10 and stored when not in use as shown in FIG. It is closed to prevent external dust from entering the inside of the upper case 11 through the paper feed port 19.

4 and 5 are side views of FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a claw 21 is provided on the lower surface of the tip of the upper case 11, and the upper case 11 is attached to the main case 10 by a latch 22 provided on the main case 10.

Pop up as shown in. The enlarged portion 14 is pressed against the check 18 by the spring 24. Further, a shutter 25 that can be opened and closed is provided in the paper discharge port 20 so as to be rotatable around a rotation shaft 26 at the upper end. Normally, the closed state is maintained by the light spring force of the spring member 27, but when the sheet is discharged, it is pushed by the check 18 and opens counterclockwise as shown in FIG.

The operation of this electronic device will be described below. The input data input by the input unit 12 is displayed on the display unit 13. After confirming the contents of the displayed data on the display unit 13, the data input person releases the latch 22 and opens the display unit 1.
Pop up 3. Next, insert the check 18 into the paper feed slot 1.
Insert from 9. When the check 18 comes to a predetermined position by its own weight, the print execution key of the input unit 12 is pressed to print on the check 18 by the print unit 28 incorporated in the enlarging unit 14, as shown by arrow A. Printed check 1
8 is sent out from the paper discharge port 20.

[0014]

According to the electronic device of the present invention, the upper case is laid down on the main body case when not in use, so that the paper feed port opened at the front end face of the upper case is located at the protrusion of the main body case. Since it is closed, dust from the outside does not enter the inside from the paper feed port to cause printing defects and deterioration in printing quality, and it is extremely useful especially for portable electronic devices with a printing function.
