  • the paper abutting scale 3 represented by Figs. 7 and 9, there are a pair of convexes 20 (a guide portion) on the paper putting stand 2, and the paper abutting scale 3 is provided with cut-out portions 3c (see Fig. 10) for being coupled with the convex 20.
  • the length of the push-contacting plate 15 is changed to reach to the surface of the paper putting stand 2 (see Fig. 11), a leveled portion 13a is formed on the end of the sliding stand 13 so as to keep the position of the driven pushing plate 14 stabilized.
  • the gaps S between the outside of the convex 20 and extension 3e of the separated from the main body 21 having cut-out 3c are formed on outer sides of the pair of convexes 20 and between two convexes 20 a square cylindrical main body 21 as a main body of the paper abutting scale 3, is provided an spacers 22 are fixed with screws 23 with loose holes displaceably on the main body 21 respectively.
  • the screws 23 are fixed on the upper surface the main body 21 through the loose screw holes 3d.
  • the constitution of this embodiment comprises a rotary knob 24 is provided on the upper surface of the paper abutting scale 3, the operation of which can fix the paper abutting scale 3 to the convex 20 on the paper putting stand 2.
  • the knob 24 is mounted on merely on one end side of the paper abutting scale 3.
  • both walls to clamp the convex 20 are formed with the walls of the push-contacting plate 15 and the spacer 22. Since, only by putting the paper abutting scale 3 on the paper putting stand 2 by coupling the cut out portion 3f with the convex 20, the paper abutting scale is not clamped on the convex 20. Eventually on both sides of the convex 20 the gaps S are generated. So that, as shown in Fig.
  • a cam 26 fixed on the shaft 25 of the knob 24 is divided into 4 sectors (each 90 degree) and three sectors of the four have a cam radius H, which are defined as non-functional and the remaining one sector has radius H+d, which is functional as a cam to push the push-contacting plate 15. Accordingly, when the paper abutting scale 3 is not fastened to the convex 20, the cam 26 contacts to the push-contacting plate 15 and a basic plate 27 with the radius H.
  • the cam 26 is adapted to contact to the push-contacting plate 15 by the distance of H+d. Then, as shown in Figs. 15 - 17, the push-contacting plate 15 pushed by the cam 26 is adapted to clamp the convex 20.
  • FIG. 18 - 20 shows a pair of convexes.
  • a pair of convexes are provided on the paper putting stand 2.
  • the outer shape of the main body 21 of the paper abutting scale 3 is made approximately square cylinder and the upper plate of that cylinder is extended from both ends so as to cover the convexes 20.
  • a pushing button 28 is vertically projected from the upper plate while being guided vertically along a guide groove 29 (see Fig.
  • a pair of contacting plates 30 are inserted slidably to be able to be pushed against the walls of convexes. Further, the lowest end of the push down button 8 and rear ends of the contacting plates are connected each other with arms 31.
  • a guide pin 32 which connects the push down button 28 and two arms 31 is located above the pin 33 provided on the rear end of the contacting plate 30. Accordingly, when the push down button 28 is pushed down, since the contacting plate 30 has resiliency at the intermediate portion, due to the resiliency, at the time of the arms 31 being horizontally linear like the contacting plate 30 at maximum pressure is pushed against the wall, and even if the guide pin 32 is passed over the pin 33, the contacting plate 30 is pushed against the wall sufficiently due to the resiliency.
  • the contacting plate 30 consists, as shown in 19 (a), of a push-contacting portion 34 pushing against the wall of the convex 20, a spring part 35 to absorb an excessive pushing force, a sliding part 36 which enables the contacting plate 30 to be displaced toward the convex 20 and the connecting part 37 which connects the arm 31.
  • the button 28 is not free to return back to up-position. Then for releasing the pushed status, just pulling operation of the button 28 is needed.
  • a slant portion 38 is provided on the push-contacting portion 34 of the contacting plate 30, at the proximal end of the convex 20 a lateral groove 39 is formed to receive the push-contacting portion 34 and make the slant portion 38 of the push-contacting portion 34 contact against a ceiling portion 40.
  • the length of the arm 31 may be elongated according to the distance to be displaced.
  • the contacting plate 30 when pushing the button 28, as shown in Fig. 22, the contacting plate 30 invades in the lateral groove 39 to increase the friction between them, so that the positioning and fixing are secured.
  • This paper abutting scale 3 is characterized in that the constitutions of the arm 31 and the contacting plate 30 which constitutes a pushing member 41 are provided in a unit, which is made of the resin.
  • the guide pin 32 on the lowest end of the button 28 is penetrated with the bearing 43 of an arm portion 42 of the pushing member 41, and since the pair of pushing members 41 are provided right and left, the shape of the bearing 43 is formed in a symmetry as shown in Fig. 24.
  • the arm portion 42 and the contacting plate portion 44 are connected through a hinge portion 45 and the contacting plate portion 44 is provided with a spring portion 44a and a push portion 44b.
  • Fig. 23 (a) and Fig. 23 (b) are first explained and as its variation example Fig. 23 (c) and Fig. 23 (d) are next explained.
  • the push portion 44b indicated in Fig. 23 (a) comprises a vertical surface 44c and a slant surface 44d which contact with the ceiling 40 of the lateral groove 39 of the convex 20.
  • the pushing plate 14 is, as shown in Fig. 26, provided with an aperture 14a near to the distal end in such a manner as it is positioned perpendicular to the pushing direction, so that the connection portions 14b of the pushing plate 14 have resiliency. Thereby, the pushing plate 14 pushes the convex resiliently. In addition, the distal end portion of the pushing plate 14 is cut thin. According to the above constitution, when the lever 17 is laid down, as shown in Fig.
  • the push-contacting plate 15 is pushed by the pushing plate 14, and since the main body 21 is hooked by the other convex 20, the spacer 22 is protruded from the main body 21 by the gap S to contact to the convex 20, thereby, the convex 20 is clamped with the push-contacting plate 15 and the spacer 22 to fix the paper abutting scale 3 on the convex 20. Then, an excessive pushing stroke of the pushing plate 14 is absorbed by the resiliency of the connection portions 14b of the pushing plate 14.
  • Fig. 27 what is different from Fig. 25 resides in that on the wall of the spacer 22 an extruded portion 22 a having a slant is provided and the lateral groove 39 having a slant ceiling is provided at the proximal end of the convex 20 which is opposing to the spacer 22. Thereby, when the lever 17 is laid down, the extruded portion 22a of the spacer 22 is cut in the groove 39 of the convex 20 to secure the fixing of the paper abutting scale.
  • Fig. 28 What is different in Fig. 28 resides in that on the wall of the spacer 22 a rubber sheet 47 is attached. Accordingly, an excessive force at the time of clamping is absorbed by the rubber sheet 4, so that the pushing plate 14 can be used without the aperture 14a.
  • the paper abutting scale can be fixed by a simple and one-touch operation (a lever, knob or button) of the lock mechanism due to friction at two desired portions of the guide portion, so that, a paper cutting operation can be carried out in a short time.
  • the guide portions are formed with the pair of grooves or convexes, the braking or fixing of the paper abutting can be carried out by a simple operation.
