Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to a packaging device for a printer.

Conventional Technical Background and Problems As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional method of packing a printer is to remove the soundproof cover 3 from the opening edge 2 of the housing 1, and then attach side pads on both sides of the housing 1. 4 are fitted, and the housing 1 is housed in the carton 6 together with the side pads 4.Furthermore, the soundproof cover 3 is housed in the carton 6 while being protected by a cushioning material. However, since the carrier provided inside the housing 1 moves due to vibration or shock, and the paper bail roller swings away from the platen, it has the disadvantage that these must be fixed with strings or tape.

The same method is used to pack the casing 7 shown in FIG. A recess 5 having a different shape is formed in the side pad 4.

Purpose of the invention This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned points, and the object is to provide a printer packaging device that can easily fix the movement of the carrier and paper bail roller.

Summary of the idea This idea involves storing the case in a carton while protecting it with side pads, storing the soundproof cover removed from the case while protecting it with a cushioning material, and placing a buffer sheet around the opening edge of the case with the soundproof cover removed. This structure prevents the casing from being distorted by shock and prevents foreign matter from getting in. Furthermore, a part of the buffer sheet fixes the movement of the carrier and paper bail roller, making it easier to perform packaging operations. This is what I did.

Embodiment of the invention An embodiment of the invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 10. The structures in FIGS. 1 and 2 are the same in both the conventional example and the present invention, so they will be explained using the same drawings and the same reference numerals will be used. Two types of housing 1,
7 has the same base area, but the areas and shapes on both sides are different. That is, the height h ₁ of the rear part of the casings 1 and 7 is the same, but the height h ₂ of the front part of the casing 1 is larger.
This is because the upper surface of the housing 1 is relatively flat, whereas the upper surface of the housing 1 has a protrusion at the rear.
A recess 5 formed on the inner surface of the side pad 4
is formed to match the cross-sectional shape of the larger housing 1.

Therefore, a buffer sheet 8 made of corrugated paper is provided. This buffer sheet 8 has a lid part 9 that covers the opening edges 2 of the casings 1 and 7, and a pair of left and right bent pieces 10. There is a platen 1 inside the casings 1 and 7.
1, pinch roller 12, and paper bail roller 1
3 and a print head 14.
A carrier 15 holding the platen is provided movably in parallel with the platen 11. The spacing between the bent pieces 10 corresponds to the width of the carrier 15. Also,
A pressing part 16 made of foam material is fixed to the bending piece 10, and pads 17 made of foam material are selectively fixed to both sides of the lid part 9.

In such a configuration, when packing the casing 1, a buffer sheet 8 without a pad 17 is fitted to the opening edge 2 as shown in FIG. In this state, the recesses 5 of the side pads 4 are fitted to both sides of the casing 1, the casing 1 and the side pads 4 are stored in the carton 6, and the soundproof cover 3 is wrapped in a triangular cylindrical cushioning body 18 made of corrugated paper. Protect and store in carton 6
Close the flap and bind the carton 6 with tape or the like. FIG. 7 shows the completed state of packaging.

When packing a case 7 with a small cross-sectional shape, a buffer sheet 8 with a pad 17 fixed to the opening edge 2 is fitted as shown in FIG. Packing is completed as shown in Figure 8. Pad 17 is attached to case 7 and side pad 4.
It is packed between the recess 5 and the recess 5. That is, although the concave portion 5 is formed to match the cross-sectional shape of the larger casing 1, it is possible to reliably fix the movement of the casing 7, so that not only the carton 6 but also the side pad 4 can be can be used. Further, the inner edges of the bent pieces 10 of the buffer sheet 8 come into contact with both sides of the carrier 15 to prevent the carrier 15 from moving, and the pressing section 16 presses the paper bail roller 13 against the platen 11 to prevent the paper bail roller 13 from moving. prevent. Therefore, carrier 1
There is no need to use tape or strings to fix the paper bail roller 13 or the paper bail roller 13, and the packing work can be simplified. Moreover, the bent piece 10 reinforces the buffer sheet 8. The same applies to the pad 17.
The pressing portion 16 reinforces the bending piece 10. Since the buffer sheet 8 is fitted to the opening edge 2, the casings 1 and 7 will not be distorted even in a drop test.

Effects of the invention Since this invention is constructed as described above, the casing is stored in a carton together with the side pads, but by fitting a buffer sheet to the opening edge of the casing,
This has the effect of preventing distortion of the casing due to shock and preventing foreign matter from entering, and furthermore, the buffer sheet can prevent movement of the carrier and paper bail roller.
