Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improved instruction manual card storage box.

Conventionally, copying machines and facsimile machines come with instruction manuals that describe how to use them correctly and how to maintain them. However, an instruction manual in the form of a book is cumbersome to refer to, so recently there has been a demand for formats that allow operators to operate the equipment while easily referring to it. Or, they write down important points and paste them in the empty space on the device.

In the first place, what is pasted on the device requires free space and is visible even when not being normally referenced, so it is rather cumbersome and has the disadvantage of spoiling the appearance. Explanation cards are usually kept in a card box, and when necessary, the card containing the necessary information can be taken out and referenced.However, in a device used by an unspecified number of users, cards can easily be lost. In addition, holding the card in one hand and operating the device with the other hand is inefficient, and placing the card on top of the device requires additional space.
In any case, it was inconvenient to operate the device while referring to it.

In order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional example, the present invention provides a spring member at at least one location inside the card box, and when the card is pulled up, the spring member prevents the card from slipping out. To provide an instruction manual card storage box that is designed to hold an instruction manual card. Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
For example, it is an instruction manual card storage box provided on the back of the display panel 1 of a facsimile transmitter/receiver as shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, 2 is a back cover of the display panel 1, 3 is a card box attached to the back cover 2, and 4 is a card containing instructions for use. The card 4 is provided with a heading part 5 protruding from the upper part in which the title of each card is written, and protruding parts 6 are provided at both ends of the lower part. Inside card box 3, there is a
A spring member 7 as shown in the figure is provided,
A protruding tip 7a of this spring member 7 slightly enters a hole 8 provided in the back cover 2. Protruding tip 7
The lower part of a is a stopper part 7 bent almost horizontally.
b, and a holding portion 7c substantially parallel to the back cover 2 is provided at the bottom thereof.

Next, when using this embodiment,
The description will be given with reference to Figs. 5 to 6. Figs. 5 and 6 are rear views of Figs. 3 and 4.
In the state shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, the operator looks at the title on the index section 5 at the top of the card, selects the required card 4, and picks up the index section 5 to pull it up. When the card 4 is pulled up, as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the protrusions 6 on both ends of the lower part of the card are inserted between the rear cover 2 and the retaining section 7c of the spring member 7, and the card 4 stops when it hits the stopper section 7b. In this state, even if the operator releases his/her hand, the card 4 is held in place, and the operator can read the explanatory text 4a. To return the card 4 to its original position, the operator lightly presses the upper end of the card 4, which releases the pinched protrusions 6, and the card 4 falls by its own weight and is stored in the box.

In this embodiment configured in this way, the card 4
Since the card does not come out due to the stopper part 7b, there is no fear of losing the card, and since the card is held in an easy-to-read position, it is possible to operate the device with both hands while reading the card. Note that the spring member 7 may be constructed integrally with the card box 3.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the card can be held in a position where it is easy to see with the simple operation of pinching the card and pulling it up, so that the user can perform tasks and operations using both hands while reading the explanatory text. be able to. Also, since the card does not come out of the card box, there is no fear of losing the card.
It also won't get dirty or damaged. The operation of restoring the card is also extremely simple. Despite this increase in functionality, the number of component parts is small, and therefore the cost is low, and since it is installed vertically on the back of the main body of the device, it does not take up much space, among other advantages.
