Abstract
The present invention relates to a portable printer suitable for hand-carrying and transporting, and provides a portable printer which is easily carried and transported and provides less possibility of damage to the printing mechanism, and comprises a plurality of casings 1, 2, a printing mechanism 10 housed in the casing 1, 2 for performing a printing of a paper 100, and connecting means 3 for connecting the plurality of casings 1, 2 by mating wider surfaces 1a and 2a among outer surfaces of the casings 1, 2 when a printing of the paper 100 by the printing mechanism 10 is performed, and when a printing is not performed, the relative positional relationship of the plurality of casings 1, 2 can be varied to form an essentially flat configuration overall. With this construction, when a printing of the paper 100 is performed by the printing mechanism 10, the plurality of casings 1 and 2 are connected by mating the wider surfaces 1a and 2a of the outer surfaces of the casings 1 and 2 by the connecting means, and when a printing is not performed, the relative positional relationship of the plurality of casings 1, 2 is changed so that the plurality of casings 1, 2 form an essentially flat configuration overall. In either case, the printing mechanism 10 is housed within the casing and is not externally exposed.
