AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional printers face issues with roll media falling and being difficult to recover due to the lack of a suitable mechanism for accommodating cores of different lengths and the inability to easily transfer heavy roll media to a cart.

Method used

A media conveyance device with a winding device that includes a first guide member and support members allowing for cores of different lengths, featuring a storage space open at the lower end to facilitate easy recovery by allowing a cart to be inserted beneath the roll media.

Benefits of technology

Enables the use of cores of varying lengths based on media width and allows easy recovery of roll media by enabling placement on a cart without partitioning the lower end, simplifying the handling and transfer of heavy roll media.

Abstract

To provide a media conveyance device capable of using winding cores of different lengths in accordance with a media width and easily collecting rolled media after winding.SOLUTION: The media conveyance device includes a winding device 60 and a body 11. A pair of first support members 70 L, 70R of the winding device 60 includes an insertion unit 73 through which a first guide member 61 extending along a horizontal plane is inserted and a winding core attaching unit 71 provided below the insertion unit 73, respectively. At least one of the pair of first support members 70 L, 70R slides along the first guide member 61. Below the attaching unit 71, a housing space is provided in which media is housed after being wound onto a winding core. The housing space is open at the lower end so as to reach an installation surface F1 of the body 11 is configured so that a gap is generated between the media and the installation surface F1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
