Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an electronic copying machine that has a manual paper feeding mechanism and whose base size in the same direction as the document table moving direction is shorter than the document table.

Conventionally, in general, in an electronic copying machine, the base size in the same direction as the moving direction of the document table has been longer than that of the document table. However, in order to make the electronic copying machine smaller and lighter, it is necessary to reduce the size of the base. Since the length of the document table is inevitably determined by the size of the document, the length of the base (in the same direction as the document table moving direction) has come to be shorter than the document table. Therefore, the edges of the document table protrude horizontally from the edges of the base, and there is a risk of damaging the delicate edges of the document table during transportation or after installation of the electronic copying machine. There is. Therefore, the upper ends of both sides of the base are extended in the direction of movement of the document table, so that the length of the document table in the direction of movement and the length of the base including the extended portions are approximately the same, thereby protecting the document table. .

However, if such an electronic copying machine has a manual paper feed mechanism and a manual paper feed stand is provided on the side of the base, the extending portion may become an obstacle to manual paper feeding when making copies by manual paper feed. Ta.

This invention was devised in view of these difficulties.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic copying machine equipped with an extension that protects a document table and does not interfere with manual feeding operation, and will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a base of the electronic copying machine, and its length in the moving direction of the document table is shorter than that of the document table 2. Original table 2
slides on the base 1 in the direction of the arrow. 3
is an original platen cover that holds down the original placed on the original platen 2, and moves integrally with the original platen 2. Reference numeral 4 designates a handle extending from the upper end of the base 1, and reference numeral 5 designates a movable handle provided at the upper end of the side surface of the base 1, which is provided with the manual paper feed tray 6. The movable handle 5 is foldably attached to the upper end of the base 1, and when manually feeding paper from the manual feed tray 6, the movable handle 5 can be folded along the side of the base 1 as shown in FIG. It is bent so that it does not interfere with manual feed operation. In addition, except for manual feeding operation, the movable grip 5 is moved from the base 1 as shown in FIG.
The document platen 2 is maintained in a state where it extends to the upper end of the document table 2 to protect it. The length of the base 1 including the handle 4 and the extended movable handle 5 is approximately the same as the length of the document table 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes a paper feed cassette. In the case of normal copying, paper is automatically fed from the paper feed cassette 7, and the copied paper is ejected to a paper ejection tray 8 after copying is completed.

As described above, according to the present invention, when manual feeding operation is not performed, the length of the document table in the moving direction and the length of the base including the extended portion are almost the same.
The edges of the document tray can be protected, and when performing manual feeding operations, the movable handle on the extended portion can be bent, so there is no problem when using the manual feeding tray, and manual feeding operations are possible. This can be done extremely easily.

Furthermore, if the extending portion is used as a handle, it is convenient to carry the electronic copying machine.

Although the above description deals with the case where the handle, which is the extended part, is bent, the extended part can be stored inside the base of the electronic copying machine (for example, stored using a plunger etc. in synchronization with the operation of the main switch). Of course, the same effect can be obtained by doing the following.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) It has a manual feed mechanism, a manual feed table is provided on the side of the base, the document table moves and scans, and the base dimension in the same direction as the document table's moving direction is In an electronic copying machine that is shorter than a base, parts of both side surfaces of the base extend in the direction of movement of the document base, and the length of the document base in the direction of movement and the length of the base including the extended portions are the same. ,
1. An electronic copying machine which is substantially the same and is characterized in that an extending portion of a side surface provided with a manual paper feed table is movable and also remains in a fixed state. (2) The electronic copying machine according to claim 1 of the utility model registration claim, wherein at least the extending portion of the side surface provided with the manual paper feed tray is bent. (3) The electronic copying machine according to claim 1 of the utility model registration claim, wherein at least an extended portion of the side surface provided with a manual paper feed tray can be stored in a base. (4) The electronic copying machine according to claim 2 or 3 of the utility model registration claim, in which a handle is formed in the extending portion.
