Lower frame structure of copying machine

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To constitute lightweight structure with mechanical strength, and to facilitate its assembling operation by composing the lower frame of a bottom plate member which has a couple of side plate parts formed by raising a plate material partially and an intermediate member which has a reception part on the top surface. CONSTITUTION:The lower frame 19 consists of the bottom plate member 9 and intermediate member 10. The bottom plate member 9 has the couple of side plate parts 12 formed by raising the center parts of the plate material 11. The intermediate member 10, on the other hand, is molded out of reinforced plastic in a box shape and the reception part 18 for respective members is provided onto the top surface. When the lower frame 19 is assembled, the intermediate member 10 is placed between the side plate parts 12 of the bottom plate member 9 and only fixed with screws in screw holes 17. The weight is reduced by the extent of raising and the intermediate member 10 operates as a reinforcing material for the bottom plate part 9, so the mechanical strength is obtained and the assembling operation is extremely easy.
