現状のファクシミリ装置は、操作パネルの部分も含めて本体外周がプラスチッ クカバーにより被覆されているのが普通である。このカバーは、言う迄もなく、 本体全体を一体物として組み付けるための外壁構造材の役目を果すと同時に、本 体内に実装される部品等を保護する保護材としての役目を担うものであるが、従 来においては、カバーを有色不透明材で形成し、繁雑な内部構造を外部に見せな くするようにするのが技術通念となっている。 In the existing facsimile apparatus, the outer periphery of the main body including the operation panel is usually covered with a plastic cover. Needless to say, this cover serves as an outer wall structural material for assembling the entire main body as an integrated body, and at the same time, as a protective material for protecting the components mounted in the main body. In the past, it has been a common technical idea to form a cover of colored opaque material so that a complicated internal structure is hidden from the outside.

【実施例】【Example】

図1は本考案に係るファクシミリ装置Fの一実施例を示している。ファクシミ リ装置Fには、この場合、A4サイズ原稿の送、受信可能な電話機様の小型機種 が例示されている。 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a facsimile apparatus F according to the present invention. In this case, the fax machine F is exemplified by a small model such as a telephone that can send and receive A4 size originals.

【0007】 図示のファクシミリ装置Fでは、装置本体1を被覆するカバーは、前面上部カ バー1A、パネルカバー1B、本体後部の上面にハンドセット2の置き台を形成 する後部カバー1C、側面上部カバー1D、1D、ボトムカバーが連なる側面下 部カバー1E、1E及び本体前面に開閉自在に取り付けられて送信原稿の挿入ガ イドを兼ねる前面下部カバー1Fとにより構成されている。In the illustrated facsimile apparatus F, the covers that cover the apparatus main body 1 are a front upper cover 1A, a panel cover 1B, a rear cover 1C that forms a stand for the handset 2 on the rear upper surface of the main body, and a side upper cover 1D. 1D, bottom side covers 1E and 1E in which bottom covers are connected, and a front lower cover 1F that is attached to the front surface of the main body so as to be openable and closable and also serves as an insertion guide for a transmission document.

【0008】 ここにおいて、両側の側面上部カバー1Dと側面下部カバー1Eについては、 透明アクリル樹脂等の透明材で形成され、側面カバー1D、1Eの部分を通して 本体1内の部品や機構が外部から観察できるようになっている。Here, the side upper cover 1D and the lower side cover 1E on both sides are formed of a transparent material such as transparent acrylic resin, and the parts and mechanisms inside the main body 1 are observed from the outside through the portions of the side covers 1D and 1E. You can do it.

【0009】 図2は、透明側面カバー1D、1Eを通して観察される本体1内での部品等の 配置例を一部省略乃至簡略化して図示している。即ち、この場合には、本体1内 に収納されるロール紙Rと、該ロール紙Rから繰り出される記録紙Pが前方のプ ラテンローラ3とサーマルヘッド4との間に導通される記録紙繰出経路の様子、 更にその動作機構、例えばプラテンプーリ5、伝動プーリ6、7等が外部から観 察できるようになっており、受信時には、サーマルヘッド4で印字されてから上 記前面上部カバー1Aとパネルカバー1Bとの接合部に開口される排出口8より 図示矢印の如く排出される記録紙Pの紙パス動作が記録紙繰出機構の動作と共に 見えるようになっている。FIG. 2 is a partially omitted or simplified illustration of an arrangement example of parts and the like in the main body 1 observed through the transparent side covers 1D and 1E. That is, in this case, the roll paper R stored in the main body 1 and the recording paper P fed from the roll paper R are electrically connected between the front platen roller 3 and the thermal head 4. The state of the path, and its operating mechanism, such as the platen pulley 5 and the transmission pulleys 6 and 7, can be seen from the outside. When receiving, the thermal head 4 prints and then the front upper cover 1A described above. The paper path operation of the recording paper P ejected as shown by the arrow from the ejection port 8 opened at the joint with the panel cover 1B can be seen together with the operation of the recording paper feeding mechanism.

【0010】 なお、本体内部構造の目視を容易にする目的では、側面カバー1D、1Eの透 明化と併せて、繰出動作機構等の部品を取り付けるサイドフレームやロール紙収 納ボックス(共に図示せず)等の本体内に配置される部材についても透明材で形 成するのがより望ましい。For the purpose of facilitating visual inspection of the internal structure of the main body, the side covers 1D and 1E are made transparent, and a side frame and a roll paper storage box (both shown in the figure) to which parts such as a feeding operation mechanism are attached. It is more preferable that the members placed inside the main body, such as (d), are made of transparent material.

【0011】 側面カバー1D、1Eを透明材で形成することに伴うメリットとして、次の諸 点が挙げられる。 第1に、カバー1D、1Eを透明化することにより外観が奇抜なものとなり、 これに動作時の動的面白さが加わることにより、装置外観の斬新化が図れる。 第2に、記録紙Pの紙パスや印字動作の様子が目視できるため、初心者にとっ てもファクシミリ装置の原理が容易に理解でき、延いては従前の単なるマニュア ル指導に比べて操作、機能の早期習得が可能となる。 第3に、カバーを開けずに記録紙残量や記録紙ジャムの発生状況等が目視でき るので、記録紙交換やジャム解除等のメンテナンスの便にも好都合となる。The following points can be cited as advantages of forming the side covers 1D and 1E with a transparent material. First, by making the covers 1D and 1E transparent, the appearance becomes strange, and by adding dynamic fun during operation, the appearance of the device can be renovated. Secondly, since the paper path of the recording paper P and the state of the printing operation can be visually observed, even a beginner can easily understand the principle of the facsimile machine, and in comparison, the operation and the function as compared with the conventional manual instruction. It is possible to learn early. Thirdly, the remaining amount of recording paper and the occurrence status of recording paper jam can be visually checked without opening the cover, which is convenient for maintenance such as replacement of recording paper and clearance of jam.

【0012】 ところで、上記の実施例では、主に記録紙繰出経路やその動作機構を観察する 目的で側面カバー1D、1Eのみを透明化する場合を例示したが、送信原稿の挿 入、読取、排出経路やその動作機構を外部から観察する目的では、側面カバー1 D、1Eに代え或いは側面カバー1D、1Eと共に、前面カバー1A、1Fにつ いても透明化することができる。こうすれば、送信原稿の紙パス経路や読取系を 見ることも可能になる。In the above embodiment, the side covers 1D and 1E are made transparent for the purpose of mainly observing the recording paper feeding path and its operating mechanism. For the purpose of observing the discharge path and its operation mechanism from the outside, the front covers 1A and 1F can be made transparent instead of the side covers 1D and 1E or together with the side covers 1D and 1E. In this way, it is possible to see the paper path path and reading system of the transmitted original.

【0013】 さらに、ハンドセットカバーを含めて本体カバー全体を透明化することも勿論 可能であり、こうすることにより、本体1内での部品実装状態や動作機構の動き 等が最大限に目視できる。もっとも、パネルカバー1B等の内面側に電子部品と 配線類が複雑に配置される部位については、美観上、透明化しない方が好ましい かもしれない。Furthermore, it is of course possible to make the entire body cover including the handset cover transparent, and by doing so, the component mounting state in the body 1 and the movement of the operating mechanism can be visually observed to the maximum extent. However, it may be aesthetically preferable not to make the parts such as the panel cover 1B on which the electronic parts and wirings are complicatedly arranged, transparent.

【0014】 本考案が適用されるファクシミリ装置Fの機種や形式については、勿論、例示 のものに限定されない。そして、透明材で形成するカバーの部分等については、 当該ファクシミリ装置の内部構造等を勘案し、できるだけ動きが見え、かつ、美 観上見苦しくならないように配慮して選定される。The model and type of the facsimile device F to which the present invention is applied are, of course, not limited to the examples. The cover and other parts made of transparent material are selected in consideration of the internal structure of the facsimile machine so that the movement can be seen as much as possible and the appearance is not unsightly.

【考案の効果】[Effect of the device]

以上の通り、本考案のファクシミリ装置では、本体カバーの一部又は全部を透 明材で形成したことにより、透明カバーを通して本体内の部品や紙パス経路が外 部から観察できる。従って、内部構造とその動的挙動が観察できることにより外 観の斬新化が図れ、また記録紙や送信原稿の紙パスや印字、読取動作が目視でき るため、ファクシミリ装置の原理が容易に理解でき、操作、機能の早期習得が可 能となり、更にカバーを開けずに記録紙残量や記録紙或いは送信原稿のジャム発 生状況等が見えるので、メンテナンスの上でも好都合になる等の改善効果が得ら れるものとなる。 As described above, in the facsimile device of the present invention, part or all of the main body cover is formed of the transparent material, so that the parts inside the main body and the paper path path can be observed from the outside through the transparent cover. Therefore, by observing the internal structure and its dynamic behavior, the appearance can be renewed, and the paper path, printing, and reading operation of the recording paper and the transmission original can be visually observed, so that the principle of the facsimile machine can be easily understood. , The operation and functions can be learned early, and the remaining amount of recording paper and the occurrence of jams on recording paper or sent documents can be seen without opening the cover, which is advantageous for maintenance. It will be obtained.
