Abstract
In the apparatus described in the present invention, a control circuit substrate is arranged on the bottom portion of the apparatus body, a bottom cover capable of opening and closing the bottom portion of the apparatus serves as a support member, input/output terminals for lines to be connected to the control circuit substrate are positioned at the side of the apparatus body, and retaining frames for the input/output terminals are integrally formed with the bottom cover so as to constitute a part of the side wall of the apparatus body.
Claims6
A circuit substrate holding apparatus for a facsimile comprising:
- an apparatus body having an upper portion, a bottom portion and a side portion formed with a notch portion;
- a control circuit substrate arranged on said bottom portion of said apparatus body;
- a bottom cover capable of opening and closing the bottom portion of said apparatus body, said bottom portion fixing said control circuit substrate and said bottom cover serving as a support member for said control circuit substrate;
- input/output terminals for lines to be connected to said control circuit substrate, said input/output terminals being fixed to said control circuit substrate and located at said notch portion of said side portion of said apparatus body;
- and
- retaining frames for said input/output terminals, said retaining frames being fixed to said control circuit substrate and shaped to correspond to the notch portions of the said portion of said apparatus body and being opened and closed unitedly with said control circuit substrate together with said input/output terminals.
A circuit substrate holding apparatus for a facsimile comprising:
- an apparatus body having a body frame as a framework structure, wherein the body frame has an aperture;
- a recording section provided at one end and in an upper portion of said apparatus body, said recording section having a recording roll paper receiving section, said aperture being defined in the body frame at said recording section,
- wherein said recording roll paper receiving section is capable of receiving recording roll paper of different widths depending on partition plates, and wherein said aperture is capable of fitting the partition plates;
- a reading section provided at the other end of said apparatus body;
- a control circuit substrate arranged in a bottom portion of said apparatus body, said control circuit substrate being separated from the upper portion containing the recording section and the reading section by said body frame, wherein the recording section and the control circuit substrate communicate through said aperture;
- a bottom cover capable of opening and closing the bottom portion of said apparatus body, said bottom cover fixing said control circuit substrate and serving as a supporting member for said control circuit substrate and extending up to said recording roll paper receiving section, said bottom cover being opened and closed together with said control circuit substrate;
- and
- a foreign matter prevention section which is formed by said bottom cover and said recording roll paper receiving section, said prevention section preventing foreign matter from entering through the aperture into the control circuit substrate.
A circuit substrate holding apparatus for a facsimile comprising:
- an apparatus body including bottom cover capable of opening and closing a bottom portion of said apparatus body and a body frame serving as a framework of said apparatus body and having an aperture, said body frame dividing inside of said apparatus body into a plurality of chambers;
- a substrate receiving chamber which is one of said plurality of chambers and formed between said body frame and said bottom cover, said substrate receiving chamber being communicated with another chamber of said apparatus body through the aperture;
- a control circuit substrate disposed in the substrate receiving chamber at the bottom portion of said apparatus body, said control circuit substrate being fixed to said bottom cover and supported by said bottom cover and opened and closed unitedly with said bottom cover;
- a circuit substrate unit provided in said apparatus body;
- a first connector connected to said circuit substrate unit, said first connector being attached to said circuit substrate unit and being so positioned as to confront the aperture of said body frame when said circuit substrate unit is loaded into said apparatus body;
- and
- a second connector connected to said control circuit substrate, said second connector being linked with said first connector through the aperture of said body frame.
