た。Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-125359 focuses on this point by the applicant of the present invention. In the printer disclosed herein, the recording paper is slidably contacted with the edge of the paper discharge port, and the print head of the outer case is used. Although the sound insulation effect is achieved by closing the inner space near the recording paper, the opening is simply closed with paper, so further improvement is expected in order to expect more effective sound insulation. There was some room left.

Bを形成している。On the other hand, in the paper discharge path extending from the platen roller 21 to the paper discharge port 12, the recording paper S from the peripheral surface of the platen roller 21 is guided to the edge guide 13 and has an inverted L-shaped cross section. The guide plate 14 has a recording / writing unit 23.
Is provided so as to cover the upper part of the recording sheet S, and the end portion on the discharge side forms a guide edge 15 that is in sliding contact with the recording sheet S, and a guide surrounded by the guide edge 15 and the recording sheet S. The inside of the plate 14 forms a first buffer space B on the discharge side.

へ排出される。A continuous paper S is added to the printer constructed as described above.
When the continuous paper S is fed in, the continuous paper S comes into contact with the guide corner 7 formed at the boundary between the front plate 5 and the sound insulating plate 6, and then the edge guide 2
The push tractor 2 comes into contact with the guiding rib 10 on the lower surface.
0, from which it makes a half turn along the peripheral surface of the platen roller 21, passes through the pair of paper discharge rollers 25, and contacts the guide edge 15 of the guide plate 14, and further,
The sheet is guided by the edge guide 13 and slidably contacts the lower surface slidable contact portion 16 of the outer case 1, contacts the opening edge 17, and is discharged to the outside of the case 1.

周波数を下げる。For this reason, the hitting sound of high frequency generated in the recording / writing section 23 goes around the peripheral surface of the platen roller 21, and one of them tries to leak to the sheet feeding port 3 through the sheet feeding path. The vibration waves are first narrowed down at a narrow path between the inner end 8 of the sound insulation plate 6 and the continuous paper S, and the sound insulation plate 6 and the continuous paper S are narrowed down.
It enters into the wide buffer space A on the paper feed side, surrounded by, while diffusing, and in this process, the pressure is greatly reduced and the frequency is reduced, and from there, through the bottleneck of the guide corner 7 to the outside of the outer case 1. It diffuses and leaks, and further reduces the pressure and frequency in the process.

The pressure is lowered in the process of being narrowed down and then passed, and then passes from the second paper discharge side buffer space C to the inner surface sliding contact portion 16 of the outer case 1, and further from the second buffer space C through the opening end edge 17. The pressure and the volume level are lowered due to the narrowing and diffusion action between them, and the liquid leaks from the opening with the volume level lowered.

As a result of conducting an experiment under the same conditions using the above-mentioned device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 9, it was revealed that the device according to the present invention can further reduce noise by about 1 db. This means that a high-frequency sound is guided through a bottleneck into a wide space in which one wall surface is made of the recording paper S, whereby a buffer effect or a labyrinth effect is exerted, and a vibration absorbing effect by the recording paper S is exerted. It is thought to be due to the result of working.
