Abstract
A sheet post-processing apparatus includes an apparatus body, a body frame, a sheet conveyance passage, an elevating tray, and an elevating unit. The elevating unit has a pair of rails. The body frame has a plurality of vertical frame members extending in the vertical direction and horizontal frame members that extends in a horizontal direction and is joined to the plurality of vertical frame members. The pair of rails are formed integrally with, among the plurality of vertical frame members, a pair of vertical frame members provided corresponding to a second side surface.
Claims6
A sheet post-processing apparatus that receives a sheet discharged from an upstream apparatus and that performs predetermined post-processing on the sheet, the sheet post-processing apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus body;
- a body frame that constitutes a frame of the apparatus body;
- a sheet conveyance passage through which the sheet is conveyed from a carry-in port provided in a first side surface of the apparatus body to a carry-out port provided in a second side surface of the apparatus body opposite from the first side surface;
- an elevating tray configured to ascend and descend along the second side surface and stack the sheet discharged from the carry-out port stacked;
- and
- an elevating unit that makes the elevating tray ascend and descend,
- wherein
- the elevating unit includes a pair of rails that are provided on the body frame and that guide ascent and descent of the elevating tray,
- the body frame includes:
- a plurality of vertical frame members that extends in a vertical direction and
- a plurality of horizontal frame members that extends in a horizontal direction and is joined by welding to the plurality of vertical frame members,
- the pair of rails are formed integrally with among the plurality of vertical frame members, a pair of vertical frame members provided corresponding to the second side surface,
- the horizontal frame members and the vertical frame members are rectangular pipes made of metal and having a rectangular cross-sectional shape on a plane orthogonal to a longitudinal direction and
- the horizontal frame members and the vertical frame members are joined together by welding.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- an apparatus body in a shape of a rectangular parallelepiped;
- a body frame that constitutes a skeleton of the apparatus body;
- an elevating member that is provided on one side surface of the apparatus body and that ascends and descends along the one side surface;
- and
- an elevating unit that makes the elevating member ascend and descend,
- wherein
- the body frame includes
- vertical frame members and horizontal frame members that are hollow and that are joined together by welding,
- the elevating unit includes
- a pair of rails that are formed on the vertical frame members provided on the one side surface and that guide ascent and descent of the elevating member, and
- of the vertical frame members, a pair of vertical frame members disposed corresponding to one side surface of the apparatus body have the pair of rails formed integrally therewith.
