Abstract

A printing device includes: a case having a roll paper housing unit in which a roll paper is housed; a cover coupled to the case and opening and closing the roll paper housing unit; a battery housing unit formed in the case; a battery housed in the battery housing unit; and a belt clip attached to the case, the belt clip including a power receiving module that receives a power transmission signal from outside by contactless power feeding and feeds power to the battery.

Claims (21)

1 . A printing device comprising:

a case having a roll paper housing unit in which a roll paper is housed;

a cover coupled to the case and opening and closing the roll paper housing unit;

a battery housing unit formed in the case;

a battery housed in the battery housing unit, the battery being attachable to and removable from the battery housing unit in an insertion-extraction direction;

a belt clip coupled to the case at a first part of a case second surface different from a case first surface where the cover is arranged in relation to the case, the belt clip including a power receiving module that receives a power transmission signal from outside by contactless power feeding and feeds power to the battery; and

a controller to which a power from the battery is output and which outputs a signal,

the roll paper housing unit being arranged between the belt clip and the cover when viewed from the insertion-extraction direction,

the battery housing unit being a recessed space that is defined by a second part of the case second surface that is different from the first part of the case second surface, the second part of the case second surface being recessed relative to the first part of the case second surface in an insertion direction in which the battery is attached to the battery housing unit,

the belt clip, the battery, and the controller being arranged such that

a first coupling position of the belt clip to the first part of the case second surface does not overlap the battery and the controller when viewed from the insertion-extraction direction, and

the battery overlaps the controller when viewed from the insertion-extraction direction.

2 . The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the belt clip is attachable and removable.

3 . The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the belt clip is provided with a positioning member that is connectable to a first magnet of a power transmission coil that generates a magnetic field based on the power transmission signal.

4 . The printing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the belt clip is provided with a protection cover.

5 . The printing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the power receiving module is attached to an outside of the belt clip, and

the protection cover is a transparent cover that covers the power receiving module.
