Abstract
A printer cover locking mechanism has a reduced number of parts and may be assembled in a small space, by simplification of a print head (thermal head ()) mechanism, a cover lock () mechanism relating to opening and closing of an opening and closing cover (), and a heat dissipation mechanism for a print head (). The cover lock () also serves as a heat dissipation plate. A printer cover locking mechanism includes the opening and closing cover () that opens and closes with respect to a printer housing (). A print head () for printing on print paper (continuous label body ()), a platen roller () for feeding a print paper () by sandwiching the print paper () between the platen roller () and the print head (), and a cover lock () for causing the print head () to contact with and separate from the platen roller () by engaging with and disengaging from the platen roller (), respectively. The print head () is attached on the cover lock (), and the cover lock () is capable of dissipating heat generated from the print head ().
