1. A printer comprising:
a housing having an accommodating portion that accommodates recording paper and opens in a direction crossing the direction of gravity;
a printer cover coupled to the housing in an openable and closable manner, and closing the accommodating portion;
a control unit provided on the printer cover and having an operation circuit board;
an operation lever provided in the housing at a position above the control unit in the direction of gravity and opening the printer cover; and
a discharge path provided on the printer cover outside the control unit and leading liquid having entered through between the operation lever and the control unit toward an area below the control unit in the direction of gravity,
wherein the discharge path including an upstream side end disposed on the printer cover below the operation lever in the direction of gravity.
2. A printer according to claim 1, wherein
the operation lever includes a projection portion, and
the projection portion includes a tip disposed at a position corresponding to the discharge path above the discharge path in the direction of gravity when the printer cover is in a closed state.
3. A printer according to claim 1, wherein
the housing includes an extended portion extended toward the inside thereof and provided between the operation lever and the discharge path,
the extended portion covers the operation circuit board as viewed from above in the direction of gravity, and
the extended portion includes a tip disposed at a position corresponding to the discharge path.
4. A printer according to claim 1, wherein
the housing has a partitioning wall raised toward above in the direction of gravity outside in the width direction of the recording paper accommodated in the accommodating portion, and
the discharge path includes a downstream side end disposed on a side opposite to the recording paper with the partitioning wall interposed between the downstream side end and the recording paper.
5. A printer according to claim 1, further comprising:
a first reservoir provided outside in the width direction of the recording paper.
6. A printer according to claim 5, further comprising:
a second reservoir provided inside the housing with respect to the first reservoir and communicating with the first reservoir,
wherein the second reservoir has a discharge hole provided in the bottom thereof.
7. A printer according to claim 1, wherein
the discharge path is formed integrally with a protection cover provided in an exterior of the control unit and covering the operation circuit board.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An oven for heating blanks on the run, especially preforms or intermediate containers, made of a thermoplastic, this oven comprising conveying means suitable for supporting and moving the blanks one after another while making each of them rotate about its own axis, and heating means placed laterally to the conveying means so as to heat the bodies of said moving blanks, wherein the conveying means are arranged so as to have at least two conveying branches lying substantially parallel to each and having opposite conveying directions, said two branches being traveled one after each other by the blanks, the heating means being placed between said two parallel conveying branches which extend near each other, wherein said heating means includes only one single line of heating infrared lamps, which extends between and substantially parallel to said two conveying branches, so that said infrared lamps heat, bilaterally and simultaneously, the blanks running in the opposite conveying directions along the two conveying branches respectively.
2. The oven as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two conveying branches are joined, at one of their ends, by a loop conveying section that is located outside the zone where the heating infrared lamps act.
3. The oven as claimed in claim 1, wherein it includes two pairs of parallel conveying branches with heating infrared lamp placed between the two branches of each pair respectively, the four conveying branches being connected together via loop conveying sections located outside the zones where the heating infrared lamps act.
4. The oven as claimed in claim 3, wherein the four conveying branches are mutually parallel.
5. The oven as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the conveying branches are substantially rectilinear.
6. The oven as claimed in claim 1, wherein reflectors are placed alongside each conveying branch on the opposite side from that occupied by the heating infrared lamps.
