Abstract

A printer includes a holder configured to house rolled recording paper, a cover that is attached to the holder to be openable and closable relative to the holder, and a contact part that is attached to the cover and configured to contact the recording paper. The contact part is configured such that the contact part substantially point-contacts the recording paper, and positions on the contact part contacting the recording paper change as the recording paper is unrolled.

Claims (14)

1. A printer, comprising:

a holder configured to house rolled recording paper;

a cover that is attached to the holder to be openable and closable relative to the holder; and

a contact part that is attached to the cover and configured to contact the recording paper at multiple positions on the recording paper that are arranged in a width direction of the recording paper such that the positions on the recording paper contacting the contact part change and move in the width direction of the recording paper as the recording paper is unrolled and a diameter of the recording paper changes, the width direction being orthogonal to the diameter of the recording paper.

2. The printer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact part includes a wire.

3. The printer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contact part is formed of a metal plate.

4. A printer, comprising:

a cover that is attached to the holder to be openable and closable relative to the holder; and

a contact part that is attached to the cover and configured to contact the recording paper at multiple positions on the recording paper that are arranged in a width direction of the recording paper, wherein

the contact part includes at least one angled portion;

the angled portion includes a protruding peak portion that is located in a middle of the angled portion, and inclined portions that extend from the peak portion and are located lateral to the peak portion, the inclined portions extending diagonally with respect to a width direction of the recording paper; and

the contact part is configured such that the positions on the recording paper contacting the contact part change as the recording paper is unrolled and a diameter of the recording paper changes.

5. The printer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the inclined portions of the angled portion contact the recording paper.
