ている。2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a cover is attached to a main body of a printer so as to be openable and closable for exchanging printer paper, removing a jam of the printer, and confirming printing on the printer.
【０００３】従来、プリンタ装置等のケースの本体に取
り付けられるカバーの開閉方式には、大別して、ヒンジ
方式と置き蓋方式がある。Conventionally, there are roughly two types of opening and closing methods of a cover attached to a main body of a case such as a printer device, which are a hinge type and a lid type.

のヒンジ機構によって、カバーが本体に開閉自在に支持
される方式である。The hinge system is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-115
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 483, a hinge composed of a first hinge member having a hinge pin and a second hinge member having a cylindrical body for rotatably receiving the hinge pin is used, and each hinge member is a main body or In this system, the cover is fixed to the wall of the cover, and the cover is supported on the main body by the hinge mechanism so that the cover can be opened and closed.
【０００５】置き蓋方式は、上記ヒンジ機構を用いるこ
となく、ケースの本体上に置き蓋を設置し、操作者が手
で置き蓋を外したり、付けたりする方式である。[0005] The lid system is a system in which the lid is installed on the main body of the case without using the hinge mechanism, and the operator removes or attaches the lid by hand.
【０００６】[0006]
【発明が解決しようとする課題】従来のヒンジ方式で
は、ヒンジを中心にカバーを回動するだけで開閉できる

多く、構造が複雑であり、コスト高になる。また、カバ
ーを開ける場合に、カバーを取り外すことができないの
で、開閉に必要なスペースが大きくなり、狭い空間での
開閉が困難である。In the conventional hinge system, the cover can be opened and closed only by rotating the cover about the hinge, so that the operability is excellent, but the number of parts of the hinge mechanism is large, and the structure is complicated. Yes, the cost is high. In addition, when the cover is opened, the cover cannot be removed, so that the space required for opening and closing is large, and it is difficult to open and close in a narrow space.
【０００７】従来の置き蓋方式では、ヒンジ機構を用い

認等ができないので、操作が面倒である。In the conventional lid system, since no hinge mechanism is used, the structure is simple and the cost can be reduced accordingly. However, for example, when an operator reads a character immediately after printing on a printer device, in this lid type, printing cannot be checked unless the cover of the printer is completely removed, and the operation is troublesome.
