Abstract

To provide a sheet shutter which, when a shutter electrical unit is provided in a support post, prevents the shutter electrical unit from greatly projecting from the support post. The sheet shutter according to the present invention, which includes a sheet case, a support post arranged at each of the left and right end portions of the sheet case, a sheet guide section that is provided at each of left and right inner portions of the support posts to guide the lifting and lowering of the sheet, and a shutter electrical unit is featured in that a storage space which detachably accommodates and supports the shutter electrical unit along the direction of the support post is formed on the left and right outer side of the sheet guide section in the support post.

Claims (16)

1. A sheet shutter comprising:

a sheet case that rotatably and laterally journals therein a sheet drum for winding and unwinding a sheet in a vertical direction;

a support post arranged at each of left and right end portions of the sheet case;

a sheet guide section that is provided at each of left and right inner portions of the support posts to guide the lifting and lowering of the sheet; and

a shutter electrical unit including a control panel for controlling the rotation of the sheet drum;

wherein a storage space which detachably accommodates and supports the shutter electrical unit along the vertical direction is formed on left and right outer sides of the sheet guide section in the support post,

wherein the control panel has an electrical base and a substrate attached to the electrical base,

wherein an upper end side of the electrical base is supported to the support post by a mounting bolt so that a lower end side of the control panel is extracted from the support post by rotating the electrical base using the mounting bolt as a fulcrum, and

wherein electrical components with wirings are arranged on an upper side of the substrate, and setting devices are arranged on the upper side of the substrate.

2. The sheet shutter according to claim 1 , wherein the storage space is formed in a portion near the left and right outer side in the support post so as to occupy a space of a half or more of an inner cross-sectional area of the support post.

3. The sheet shutter according to claim 1 , wherein a vertically directed support post opening section at which the storage space is opened is formed on a front side of the support post.

4. The sheet shutter according to claim 3 , wherein a switch attaching plate that defines a recessed channel in the storage space is detachably attached to a side of an opening edge of the support post opening section.

5. The sheet shutter according to claim 4 , wherein the switch attaching plate is attached to the support post by sandwiching the opening edge of the support post opening section between the switch attaching plate and a switch panel.

6. The sheet shutter according to claim 2 , wherein a vertically directed support post opening section at which the storage space is opened is formed on a front side of the support post.

7. The sheet shutter according to claim 6 , wherein a switch attaching plate that defines a recessed channel in the storage space is detachably attached to a side of an opening edge of the support post opening section.

8. The sheet shutter according to claim 7 , wherein the switch attaching plate is attached to the support post by sandwiching the opening edge of the support post opening section between the switch attaching plate and a switch panel.
