Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of a crack and a claw damage and restrain a device from becoming large and simplify a structure by providing a linking member which pushes up a pushing-up member by the operation of a release lever. CONSTITUTION:When a release lever 22 is operated, a projecting portion 221 strikingly comes into contact with the lower surface of a linking member 20, and then, moves slidingly to a base end portion. When the lever 22 is further pushed down, the projecting portion 221 reaches a small projecting portion 203. When the lever 22 is further pushed down, the projecting portion gets over the small projecting portion and enters into a hole 204 for the prevention of moving slidingly, and a right end taking-up portion rises up, and recording paper falls into the state of being easily taken up. When the lever 22 is further pushed down strongly, the regulation release of a lock plate 16 is done. In the case of a pushing-up member 18 being lowered, the pushing member 18 is lifted up a little, and the release lever 22 is returned a little upward. Afterward, the state of being got on a tray 10 is maintained due to the self-weight of the pushing-up member 18.

On the other hand, the present invention relates to a printing apparatus that is held in a closed state by a locking means and whose main body case is opened with respect to a recording paper transport section by operating a release lever.

従来■肢術 かかる印刷装置の排紙部は、従来、印刷装置本体ケース
上に一体的に設けて小型化を図っている。Conventionally, the paper ejection section of such a printing device has conventionally been provided integrally on the main body case of the printing device in order to reduce the size.

ことが提案されている（実公昭６１−６２０２号、特開
昭５８−２５６６６号等）。By the way, in order to solve the difficulty of picking up the paper caused by the flat upper surface of the paper ejecting section, it is necessary to insert your finger into a part of the upper surface of the printer main body case 130 around the paper ejecting section 132, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 11, a paper ejection tray 111 may be provided separately on the printer main body case 131, and a notch 112 for inserting a finger may be formed on the peripheral side of the paper ejection tray 111. I'm doing it. Furthermore, it has been proposed to provide a push-up member in the paper discharge section for pushing up the peripheral portion of the paper on the pick-up side (see Utility Model Publication No. 61-6202, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-25666, etc.).

問題があった。However, when forming grooves, it is difficult to make the grooves long enough and deep enough to fit a finger due to space and shape constraints. As a result, when picking up a small amount of paper, the paper ends up with bend marks, wrinkles, and other flaws, and when women pick up the paper, they damage their fingernails. Furthermore, if space constraints are not taken into consideration, there is a problem in that the tray portion around the groove becomes thicker and the printing apparatus becomes larger.

また、別体のトレイを設けた場合には、トレイが印刷装
置本体ケース上に突出して大型化するという難点がある
。Further, when a separate tray is provided, there is a problem that the tray protrudes above the main body case of the printing apparatus, resulting in an increase in size.

The purpose is to provide printing devices.

In the printing apparatus, the printer main body case is held in the closed state by the locking means against the recording paper conveyance section by operating the release lever, and the printer main body case is opened relative to the recording paper conveyance section. The device is characterized in that it includes a lifting member and an interlocking member that pushes up the pressing member by operating the release lever.

である。The interlocking members 20, 20 are each rotatably supported at their proximal ends by a horizontal shaft 202 supported by the main body case 30 at an appropriate distance apart. The release lever 22 and the release piece 42 are rotatably supported by a horizontal shaft 23 provided in the same manner at an appropriate distance apart, and the base end of the release lever 22 is connected to the main body case 30.
It protrudes from the outside and can be pressed downward (in the direction of the arrow). This release lever 22 is tension-biased in the opposite direction to the pressing operation by a tension coil spring 25 which is locked at both ends between the release lever 22 and the horizontal shaft 202 . This biasing force is made smaller than the weight of the push-up member 10 and adjusted to a size that does not allow the push-up member 10 to float on its own.

Reach 03. Then, a greater reaction force is transmitted to the hand than before. This allows the operator to further release the release lever 22.
When you press down, the protrusions 221 and 421 move to the small protrusion 203.
．． 203 and enters the anti-slip holes 204, 204. When picking up the recording paper, by pressing down to this point, the right end picking up section rises, and the recording paper can be easily picked up. In addition, if it is necessary to open the main body case 30 due to a paper jam, etc., the release lever 22 is
Press down firmly. Then, the protrusions 221, 421 climb over the small protrusions 203, 203 and enter the anti-slip holes 204, 2.
04, the spring pin 19 locks into the lock plate 16.
．． After contacting the convex portions of the 16 bearing portions 16b, 16b, the distal end portion 16a is forced to come out from the locking hole 31a against the biasing force applied thereto. In other words, release lever 2
The lock plate 16.16 is released from the restriction by the operation 2. As a result, the operation of the release lever 22 is completed, and the push-up member 1o holds the recording paper on the paper discharge section 32 at a constant height.
1. Pick up the right end part and raise it easily.

１１６，１１６の規制解除を行なうようにしてもよい。In the above embodiment, the lock plate is released from the lock plate using a spring pin driven into the shaft and a bearing part of the lock plate. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. A part of the peripheral surface of both ends of the lock plate 116 is cut out so as to have a parallel part, and a lock plate 116 is inserted into the cutout part 231.231.
116, the release lever 25 is rotatable with respect to the shaft 23, and the spring pin 26 driven into the shaft 23 and the projection 2 of the release lever are provided.
The lock plates 116, 116 may be released from the lock plate 116 by rotating the shaft 23 when the lock plates 51 come into contact with each other.

紙を取上げることができる。Further, in the present invention, in place of the push-up member 18, a push-up member 38 having a grid-like framework as shown in FIG. 9 may be used. In this case, the recording paper can be easily picked up by inserting a finger through the grid.

また指挿入用の凹部が不要となる。Further, there is no need for a recess for inserting a finger.

It can also be implemented by bonding the interlocking piece of the body, that is, without using the interlocking member, and in which the push-up member is pushed up only by the integrated release lever.

構造の簡素化を図り得る優れた効果を奏する。As detailed above (In the product of the present invention, when the release lever is released, the interlocking member moves in conjunction with this and pushes up the push-up member. This makes it possible to easily pick up the recording paper, which prevents the occurrence of scratches and damage to the claws that occur when taking out the paper, and when the release operation is completed, the main body case can be lifted up as before. Since only the push-up member and the interlocking member that move up and down are additionally required, there is an excellent effect of suppressing the enlargement of the printing device and simplifying the structure.
