Definitions

  • the disclosure generally relates to a paper collector for gathering printed papers of a printer.
  • Conventional printer includes a carrier for receiving printed papers.
  • the carrier is always straight and is horizontal relative to an exit direction of a paper.
  • an output paper is angled relative to the carrier, a front edge of the printed paper may curl when it is pushed against the carrier or against the accumulated papers on the carrier.
  • the curled paper may affect the ability of the carrier to receive further printed papers.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a paper collector in one embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial exploded view of the paper collector of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a partial assembly view of the paper collector of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 is a view of a printer and a paper collector in an original state in one embodiment.
  • FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 4 , but an amount of papers have been printed from the printer.
  • FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 4 , but the paper collector is in the lower state because of a large amount of printed papers.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a paper collector for gathering printed papers of a printer 200 (shown in FIG. 4 ).
  • the paper collector includes a carrier 10 and a stand member 20 attached to the carrier 10 .
  • the stand member 20 includes two parallel stand arms 30 .
  • the carrier 10 defines an upper surface 17 and a lower surface 18 .
  • a pivot tab 12 is located on the lower surface 18 of the carrier 10 .
  • Two slots 15 are defined in the carrier 10 for receiving the two stand arms 30 .
  • the two slots 15 extend to an edge of the carrier 10 .
  • a length of each stand arm 30 is greater than the length of the slot 15 .
  • Each stand arm 30 includes an arm portion 33 and a pivot portion 31 .
  • a deep hollow circular groove (annular groove 312 ) is defined in each pivot portion 31 .
  • the pivot portion 31 can pivot about the pivot tab 12 by means of a shaft 35 .
  • the annular groove 312 can receive an elastic member 50 .
  • the elastic member 50 may be a torsion coil spring.
  • the elastic member 50 and the shaft 35 are mounted to each stand arm 30 .
  • the two stand arms 30 are mounted to the pivot tabs 12 of the carrier 10 .
  • One end of the elastic member 50 abuts the pivot tab 12
  • the other end of the elastic member 50 abuts the stand arm 30 .
  • the stand arms 30 obliquely extend through the slots 15 and are angled upwards from the lower surface of the carrier 10 , due to the elastic member 50 .
  • the paper collector is located on a side of paper output opening 210 of the printer 200 .
  • the printer 200 prints out a plurality of papers 100 from the paper output opening 210 along a direction F.
  • the paper output opening 210 is elevated above the carrier 10 .
  • the carrier 10 is substantially parallel to the paper output direction F.
  • a distal end of the stand arms 30 extend towards the paper output opening 210 of the printer.
  • the stand arms 30 are oblique to the carrier 10 and are also oblique to the paper output direction F of the printer in the non-carrying state.
  • the plurality of papers 100 is printed out from the paper output opening 210 one by one.
  • a paper printed out from the paper output opening 210 naturally falls front end first.
  • the front end of the paper contacts the oblique stand arms 30 at a small angle.
  • the paper avoids being curled or folded by the stand arms 30 .
  • an amount of papers is printed out, and these printed papers accumulate on the stand arms 30 .
  • the stand arms 30 are rotated down relative to the carrier 10 by the accumulating weight of the printed papers, little by little.
  • the front end of the following papers also has a small angle relative to the topmost of the accumulating papers.
  • the stand arms 30 are finally depressed into the slots 15 by the weight of a full stack of accumulated papers.
  • the paper collector includes a rotatable stand plate to support printed papers.
