Abstract
A printer includes a motor including a rotating shaft; a pinion gear that is fixed to the rotating shaft and rotates integrally with the rotating shaft; a reduction gear that transmits a rotation of the pinion gear at a reduced speed; a drive gear that receives the rotating shaft in a state in which a rotation of the rotating shaft is not directly transmitted to the drive gear, the drive gear rotating on the rotating shaft with the rotations of the pinion gear and the reduction gear; a drive rotary blade that is integral with the drive gear and rotates coaxially with the drive gear; a driven rotary blade that rotates by partially contacting the drive rotary blade; and a slitter portion that cuts a paper that passes between the drive rotary blade and the driven rotary blade in a transport direction orthogonal to the rotating shaft.
Claims9
A printer comprising:
- a motor comprising a rotating shaft;
- a pinion gear that is fixed to the rotating shaft and configured to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft;
- a reduction gear that is configured to transmit a rotation of the pinion gear at a reduced speed;
- a drive gear that receives the rotating shaft in a state in which a rotation of the rotating shaft is not directly transmitted to the drive gear, the drive gear being configured to rotate on the rotating shaft in conjunction with the rotation of the pinion gear and a rotation of the reduction gear;
- a drive rotary blade that is integral with the drive gear and configured to rotate coaxially with the drive gear;
- a driven rotary blade that is configured to rotate by partially contacting the drive rotary blade;
- and
- a slitter portion that is configured to cut a paper that passes between the drive rotary blade and the driven rotary blade in a transport direction orthogonal to the rotating shaft.
