Cassette shutter

A cassette shutter which is slidably disposed at front and bottom surfaces of a cassette for storing a paper medium therein and opens and closes an entrance formed at the front surface of the cassette the cassette shutter comprising:

• a plurality of pieces coupled to each other in an X-axis direction and a Z-axis direction of a Cartesian coordinate system;
• and
• a first fastening pin configured to pass through and fasten a lower portion of the upper piece of two of the plurality of pieces and an upper portion of the lower piece adjacent to the upper piece such that the plurality of pieces are relatively rotatable,
• wherein:
• the plurality of pieces are formed in the same shape;
• a first fastening pin insertion hole and a second fastening pin insertion hole are formed in an upper portion of each respective piece with a first receiving groove disposed therebetween;
• a third fastening pin insertion hole corresponding to the first receiving groove, a second receiving groove and a third receiving groove corresponding to the first fastening pin insertion hole and the second fastening pin insertion hole are formed in a lower portion of each of each respective piece with the third fastening pin insertion hole disposed therebetween;
• and
• a fastening projection is formed on one side of each respective piece, and a fastening groove corresponding to the fastening projection is formed in the other side of the respective piece so that the fastening projection of one of the plurality of pieces located on the one side is inserted into and coupled to the fastening groove of another of the plurality of pieces located on the other side,
• the upper portions of the uppermost pieces of the plurality of pieces are coupled to an upper plate, in which the plurality of fastening pin insertion holes, which are received in the first receiving grooves, and the plurality of receiving grooves for receiving the first fastening pin insertion holes and the second fastening pin insertion holes are formed, by a second fastening pin, and
• the lower portions of the lowermost pieces of the plurality of pieces are coupled to a lower plate, in which the plurality of fastening pin insertion holes, which are received in the second receiving grooves and the third receiving grooves, and the plurality of receiving grooves for receiving the third fastening pin insertion holes are formed, by a third fastening pin.
