リンタの紙送り装置を提供するものである。That is, 1 in the figure is a feed roller that applies a transfer force to the recording paper, and is rotationally driven by a drive mechanism (not shown).
A tension roller 2 that elastically presses the recording paper against the feed roller 1 is rotatably supported by a lower guide plate 3. An upper guide plate 4 is installed on top of the lower guide plate 3 with a predetermined gap therebetween, and the inner surfaces of the lower and upper guide plates 3 and 4 each have a plurality of grooves along the longitudinal direction. Ribs 5 and 6 are formed to face each other. The recording paper □ is given a transfer force by the feed roller 1 and the tension roller 2, and passes through the gap between the rib 5 of the lower guide plate 3 and the rib 6 of the upper guide plate 4, and is then transferred to the print drum 8, the print hammer 9, etc. The paper is guided and sent to the printing section where printing is performed. Therefore, the gap between the ribs 5 and 6 is set to be equal to the thickness of the recording paper □ in order to prevent the recording paper 7 from bending in the longitudinal direction due to feeding and to prevent the recording paper 7 from vibrating due to the printing hammer 9 during the printing operation. It is necessary to set it to a certain degree. However, since the recording paper 7 is extremely thin, the ribs on both the guide plates 3 and 4 are
, 6 is very difficult to adjust to an appropriate small gap. Therefore, the recording paper 7 is not stably held within the guide plates 3 and 4, and as the recording paper 1 moves, paper jams may occur, or the recording paper 1 may be bent, resulting in printing misalignment. The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and is a printer paper that can stably press recording paper against a guide plate with a simple structure and operation, and can therefore smoothly transfer the recording paper and improve printing quality. It provides a feeding device.

例のみに限定されるものではない。Therefore, the recording paper 29 is attached to the elastic presser plate 26 and the lower guide plate 11.
The paper is guided between the intermediate part and the delivery end, and is delivered to a location corresponding to the printing drum 24. in this case,
Both ends of the recording paper 29 are held by the holding pieces 28, 2 of the elastic holding plate 26.
8 elastically presses against the upper surface of the lower guide plate 11, while the central portion is lifted by ribs 18, 18. Therefore, the recording paper 29 is held under pressure by the lower guide plate 11 and is given tension in the width direction. Therefore, the recording paper 29 can be moved while being elastically held in the entire transport direction by the elastic presser plate 26 and the lower guide plate 11, and the recording paper 29 does not bend in the transport direction, reducing paper jams and reducing paper jams during printing operations. Even when the printing hammer 25 presses the printing drum 24, the recording paper 29 does not vibrate and remains stationary, so that clear printing can be performed. Furthermore, since the recording paper 29 is deflected in the width direction and tension is applied, deflection in the transport direction can be suppressed even more reliably, and vibrations during printing operations can be prevented. Moreover, since the recording paper 29 is pressed from above by the elastic presser plate 26, there is no need to provide a space near the feed roller 23 to release the recording paper 29 in the transport direction as in the conventional case, and unnecessary space can be removed. Therefore, it is possible to stably hold the recording paper 29 for printing and transfer it effectively and smoothly with the least amount of movement, and it is possible to perform good printing and improve print quality. Furthermore, the lower guide plate 11
It has a simple structure by providing a pair of ribs 18, 18 on the holder and an elastic presser plate 26 in correspondence with the ribs 18, 18.The elastic presser plate 26 automatically presses the recording paper 29 due to its elasticity, so it is not like the conventional method. There is also no need for the troublesome work of adjusting the gap between the upper and lower guide plates 19 and 11. In the embodiment described above, a pair of ribs 18, 18 are provided at the center of the upper surface of the lower guide plate 11, and only the both sides of the recording paper 29 located outside the ribs 18, 18 are held by the elastic press plate 26. Although this embodiment is configured to press against the lower guide plate 11, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

構造および作業を簡素化できる。That is, the number and shape of ribs provided on the lower guide plate 11 can be set arbitrarily. Further, a sheet made of synthetic resin or the like may be provided on the upper surface of the lower guide plate 11 to improve the sliding of the recording paper 29, and in this case, it is optional whether the ribs are provided on the lower guide plate 11 or on the sheet. . on the other hand,
The elastic presser plate may be configured to cover the entire surface of the lower guide plate 11 except for the portion corresponding to the tension roller 15, or may be made of metal, glass fiber, or the like. Of course, the mounting structure may also be adhesive instead of locking and fixed, and the mounting position may also be closer to the printing section than the feed roller 23. Furthermore, an elastic presser plate may be adhered to the lower guide plate 11 to elastically press and hold the recording paper 29 against the upper guide plate 19. Furthermore, the paper feeding device of the present invention can be widely applied to devices having a recording function, including recording desk calculators. As described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented with various modifications without changing the gist thereof. As explained above, the paper feeding device of the present invention is provided with a rib extending along the direction of movement of the recording paper at the center of the recording paper guide surface of the guide plate, and an elastic presser plate is used to move the recording paper outward from the rib. Since both protruding ends are pressed against the recording paper guide surface of the guide plate, it is possible to apply tension to the recording paper along with deflection in the width direction, thereby stably holding the recording paper and smoothing it. The printing quality can be improved, and the structure and work can be simplified.
