Printer stand

A stand for supporting a computer printer or the like, comprising a base unit defining a first support surface dimensioned to receive a printer or the like thereupon and inclined relative to horizontal, and a lip member along at least a portion of the forward or lower marginal edge of said first support surface and extending upwardly therefrom, said lip member being engagable on one side thereof with said printer whereby to prevent said printer from sliding off said first support surface, said base unit having a first cavity subjacent said first support surface dimensioned to receive at least partially a supply of continuous-web folded paper for said printer, said base unit having as rear opening, communicating with said first cavity, a separate bailer unit positioned rearwardly of said base unit, said bailer unit defining a second support surface dimensioned to fit telescopically through said rear opening of said base unit and into said first cavity, and to receive refolded paper thereupon ejected by said printer, said bailer unit further defining a second cavity subjacent said second support surface and having a front opening for communicating with said rear opening in said base unit and being dimensioned to receive partially the supply of continuous-web paper for said printer to permit said first and second cavities to communicate and to permit said paper to be positioned wholly within the combination of said first and second cavities, a cross member for said bailer unit extending across the inside of the first cavity of said base unit and having an edge spaced inwardly from said rear opening at a position above the paper near the front edges thereof disposed within said first cavity for guiding said continuous-web paper upwardly and rearwardly out of said first cavity and to the printer.
