Recording medium processing apparatus

摘要

A head performs recording or reading information with respect to a sheet-shaped recording medium. A pair of rollers sandwich therebetween and transport the recording medium in a transport path of the recording medium passing through the head. A cantilevered frame extends while being cantilevered in a direction traversing the transport path. One end of an opening and closing unit is rotatably supported by the cantilevered frame. The opening and closing unit is revolvable around the one end to move between a closed position where the opening and closing unit covers at least a transport portion by the pair of rollers in the transport path and an open position where the transport position is exposed to the outside.

1. A recording medium processing apparatus, comprising:
a first head that performs recording or reading information with respect to a sheet-shaped recording medium; a second head that performs recording or reading information with respect to the sheet-shaped recording medium, said second head being mounted onto an opening and closing unit; a pair of rollers that sandwiches therebetween the recording medium and transports the recording medium in a transport path of the recording medium passing at least one of the first head and the second head; and a cantilevered frame that includes an extending portion which extends in a direction traversing the transport path and a support portion which supports the extending portion; wherein one end of the opening and closing unit and the other end of which are rotatably supported by the cantilevered frame so that the opening and closing unit is revolvable around the extending portion between a closed position where the opening and closing unit covers at least a transport portion by the pair of rollers in the transport path and an open position where the transport portion is exposed to the outside, wherein the cantilevered frame is an upper edge portion of a front frame which constitutes a front surface portion of the recording medium processing apparatus, formed with an insertion port of the recording medium into the transport path, and wherein the opening and closing unit moves around a rotation center line extending along the upper edge portion between the open position where the opening and closing unit is raised upward relative to the transport path and the closed position where the opening and closing unit is lowered along the transport path.
