Abstract
A medium transport device 1 including a device main body 12 having a transport path T for transporting a medium P, an outer door 30, an inner door 40 disposed with respect to the device main body 12 to the inside of the outer door 30, an outer hinge 31 that openably and closably attaches the outer door 30 to the device main body 12, and an inner hinge 41 that openably and closably attaches the inner door 40 to the device main body 12, wherein a pivot axis 15 of the outer hinge 31 and a pivot axis 5 of the inner hinge 41 both extend in a first direction and the outer hinge 31 and the inner hinge 41 overlap when viewed from a direction intersecting an outer door surface 30B of the outer door 30 in a closed state.
Claims14
A medium transport device comprising:
- a device main body having a transport path for transporting a medium;
- an outer door;
- an inner door disposed with respect to the device main body to the inside of the outer door;
- an outer hinge that openably and closably attaches the outer door to the device main body;
- and
- an inner hinge that openably and closably attaches the inner door to the device main body,
- wherein a pivot axis of the outer hinge and a pivot axis of the inner hinge both extend in a first direction and the outer hinge and the inner hinge overlap when viewed from a direction intersecting an outer door surface of the outer door in a closed state,
- the device main body has a fixing surface which is fixed to the inner hinge, and
- the fixing surface is arranged so as to be inclined at an acute angle with respect to the outer door surface of the outer door in the closed state.
A medium transport device comprising:
- a device main body having a transport path for transporting a medium;
- an outer door;
- an inner door disposed with respect to the device main body to the inside of the outer door;
- an outer hinge that openably and closably attaches the outer door to the device main body;
- and
- an inner hinge that openably and closably attaches the inner door to the device main body,
- wherein a pivot axis of the outer hinge and a pivot axis of the inner hinge both extend in a first direction and the outer hinge and the inner hinge overlap when viewed from a direction intersecting an outer door surface of the outer door in a closed state, and
- wherein the inner door has an attachment surface for the inner hinge, the attachment surface, while the inner door is in a closed state, intersects the outer door surface of the outer door in the closed state and the inner hinge is disposed so that, when viewed from a direction facing the attachment surface for the inner hinge, the inner hinge does not protrude from the attachment surface for the inner hinge.
