The lowermost passbook P among a large number of folded passbooks P accommodated in the hopper 20 of the passbook sending means 2 of the device 1 is engaged with a claw 27 a provided on a feed member 27 of the feed mechanism unit 22. At the same time, the sheet is sent out from the outlet 23 to the first conveying roller pair 26 by the feeding operation of the feeding member 27.

Then, the sent passbooks P are turned by the turning means 3 by the rotation of the first conveying roller pair 26 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the cover 10 is further conveyed by the second and third pairs of conveying rollers 32 and 34 through the position of the page mark detecting unit 30 and the cover 10 is turned by the operation of the turning mechanism 36 of the page turning unit 31. . Further, the passbooks P are the third and fourth transport roller pairs.
It is fed to the position of the character print head 50 by the transport operation of 34, 35, and here, the head control unit
The second by the character print head 50 operating under the control of 133
Branch name 206, telephone number 207, bank name 208 as shown in FIG.
Etc. are printed.

After the printing is completed, the third and fourth transport roller pairs 34 and 35 reversely transport the passbooks P to the position of the page turning unit 31, where only the laminate pieces 12 are turned by the operation of the turning mechanism 36.

The passbooks P on which the laminated pieces 12 are turned are reversely transported to the page mark detection unit 30 by the third transport roller pair 34, where the barcode 203 preprinted on the inner paper 11 by the optical reading unit 33 is displayed. The page is read to recognize that the page is correctly turned.

Thereafter, the paper sheet P is transported again to the character printing section 4A by the third and fourth transport roller pairs 34 and 35, where the name 204, the guide information 205, etc. Is printed.

Further, the passbooks P are the third and fourth transport roller pairs 34 and 35.
As a result, the sheet is reversely transported to the position of the page turning section 31, where the laminated piece 12 is turned again, and the laminated piece 12 is in a state of overlapping with the cover 10 side.

Thereafter, the passbooks P are transferred to the fourth and fifth transport roller pairs 35 and 52.
Is transferred to the secondary seal / signature printing unit 4B.

Here, the operation of the above-described page turning unit 31 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (h).

For example, the case of turning the cover 10 forward will be described. When the passbook detector 49c detects a passbook P in a closed state, the fourth transport roller pair 35 is controlled under the control of the mechanism control unit 132.
Stops, and the passbooks P also stop. This state is shown in FIG.

Next, the rotation drive pulley 43 is rotated counterclockwise by a pulse motor (not shown), and the rotation force is applied to the switching arm 39 via the first belt 45, the rotation pulley 41, and the support shaft 38.
The switching arm 39, the turning roller 40 and the push-up swing lever 48 are displaced to the normal turning position indicated by "A" in FIG. At this time, the center of the passbook P is warped upward by rotating the push-up swing lever 48 to the left side, and the pulse motor is stopped in this state. As a result, the rear portion of the cover 10 of the passbooks P is pressed against the turning roller 40 to be easily turned. This state is shown in FIG. 7 (b).

At the stage where the turning roller 40 is displaced to the normal turning position "A" as described above, the rotary drive pulley 44 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. The turning operation of the cover 10 of the passbook P is started by applying a turning force in the direction of the arrow to the turning roller 40 through the rotation pulley 42 and the third belt 47. This state is shown in FIG. 7 (c).

When the turning roller 40 further rotates in the direction of the arrow from this state, the cover 10 and the middle sheet 11 bulge so as to rise, and the optical path of the bulge detector 49 is blocked. When the bulge is detected by the bulge detection unit 49, the pulse motor is controlled to stop the rotation of the turning roller 40. This state is shown in FIG. 7 (d).

Next, the pulse motor on the side of the rotary drive pulley 43 is rotated clockwise to return the switching arm 39 to the neutral position, and the push-up swing lever 48 is returned to the horizontal state. As a result, the rotational force of the turning roller 40 is not transmitted to the inner sheet 11,
Only the cover 10 will climb.

 This state is shown in FIG.

Next, the turning roller 40 is rotated counterclockwise by a pulse motor, and the swelling cover 10 is completely turned up.

 This state is shown in FIG. 7 (f).

Next, while the turning roller 40 is being rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the second and third pairs of conveying rollers 32 and 34 are moved in FIG.
By rotating in the direction of the arrow shown in (h), the entire passbook P is transported to the left in FIG. As a result, the cover 10 changes from a turned-up state to a completely opened state.

In the above, the turning operation of the cover 10 has been described as the normal turning operation. However, the operation of turning the thin paper of the middle sheet 11 is the same operation mechanically. In this case, is shallower rotated by the rotation angle theta ₁ of the switching arm 39 shown in FIG. 7 (b) controlling the number of pulses the pulse motor. By doing so, the pushing-up amount of the push-up swing lever 48 coaxially attached to the switching arm 39 is reduced, so that the amount of warpage of the passbooks P is similarly reduced, and the passbooks P are turned with respect to the inner sheet 11. Since the pressing force of the roller 40 is reduced, the frictional force for turning is small, and the roller 40 can be turned up lightly.

The same is true for the reverse turning operation, and the switching arm
39 turning of pivoted in the right-hand rotation angle theta ₂ side of FIG. 6,
If the turning roller 40 is also rotated clockwise, it can be easily achieved.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the turning roller 40
The drive source of the switching arm 39 is a pulse motor, the rotation of the turning roller 40 is stopped after swelling is detected, and the turning roller 40 is rotated again after the pulse motor is securely returned to the neutral position. In addition, switching arm 39
Is controlled by a pulse motor using a thick cover (high rigidity) and a thin middle paper (low rigidity), so that a reliable turning operation irrespective of the rigidity of the passbook P can be performed.

 Next, the operation of the sub-seal / signature printing unit 4B will be described.

Facing spread passbooks P sent from the character printing unit 4A
Is the eighth in the transport operation of the sixth and seventh transport roller pairs 55 and 56.
As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 9 (a), the front end of the cover 10 is transported to the passbook stop detecting section 64, and stopped at this position by the detecting operation of the passbook stop detecting section 64.

In this position, the turning roller of the lamination turning section 59
66 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 9 (a) to flip up the laminate piece 12.

From this state, the seventh conveying roller pair 56 is driven to rotate in the direction of the arrow shown in FIGS. 8, 9 (a) and 9 (b) to reversely transport the passbooks P. Thereby, the laminated piece 12 is automatically guided to the opening of the chucking claw 75.

Next, the chucking claw 75 is driven to rotate, and the laminated piece is
Rotating the platen roller 57 while clamping the tip of the plate 12 with the outer peripheral surface of the platen roller 57,
Is moved to a position corresponding to the print start position of the thermal head 68. At this time, the turning roller 66 is retracted below the platen roller 57 by the rotation of the arm 65. This state is shown in FIG. 9 (c).

Next, the thermal head 68 is lowered by the operation of the thermal head mechanism section 60, and the yellow (Y) color is printed first while the ribbon 61 and the laminated piece 12 are pressed against the platen roller 57. This state is shown in FIGS. 9 (d) and 9 (f).

When the printing of the yellow (Y) color is completed, the thermal head 68 once rises, and at this time, the platen roller 57 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction so that the printing start position of the laminated piece 12 reaches the position shown in FIG. Return. This state is shown in FIG. 9 (e).

When the printing of the yellow (Y) color is completed and the thermal head 68 rises, the ribbon feed unit 62 feeds the ribbon 61 in a magenta (M) color. When this operation is completed, the thermal head 68 descends again and prints the yellow (Y) color printed on the laminate piece 12 with the magenta (M) color superimposed thereon. The printing of the cyan (C) color is performed in exactly the same manner as described above.

In this way, the information of the sub-seal E and the sign S of three colors is printed on the laminated piece 12. In this case, by appropriate print control of three colors, for example, the secondary
Can be black.

When the printing operation as described above is completed, the platen roller 57 is rotated in the reverse direction, the chucking pawl 57 is opened, and the passbooks P are shaken by the transfer operation of the sixth and seventh transfer roller pairs 55 and 56. It is sent to the distribution gate 76 and is sent out to the bonding means 5 by the distribution operation of the distribution gate 76.

Next, the operation of the bonding means 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
(B), description will be made also with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

The passbooks P in which the cover 10 and the laminated piece 12 conveyed through the distribution gate 76 are in a shell-open state are first detected by the laminate detecting unit 80, and thereby the eighth and ninth
The pair of transport rollers 81 and 82 rotate in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Further, the heat roller 84 is
As shown in FIG. 10 (b), the lamination piece 12 is rotated synchronously so that the edge portion 84a coincides with the binding portion of the passbook P, and the pressure of the pressure roller 85 and the heat generated on the surface of the heat roller 84 cause the lamination piece 12 to be bound. The laminated portions are laminated on the cover 10 sequentially from the joining portion toward the end. At this time, the embossed character 87 provided on the heat roller 84 rolls into contact with the laminated piece 12, and as a result, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 12 (b), Is formed.

By the above operation, the laminated piece 12 can be superposed and adhered to the cover 10 without wrinkles or bubbles, and the displacement L between the end of the laminated piece 12 and the end of the cover 10 is inconspicuous ( (For example, 0.3 mm or less).

In this manner, the passbooks P in which the laminate pieces 12 are laminated on the cover 10 are attached to the tenth transport roller pair 94 of the detection unit 91.
Thus, the printing information of the inner sheet 11, the laminated piece 12, and the cover 10 is read by the reading optical system 95, and the normal or abnormal printing state is detected.

Further, the passbooks P are taken into the folding section 92 by the eleventh transport roller pair 100, and are turned by folding rollers 103a and 103b and pressing rollers 105a and 105b as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b). While being folded by the moving operation and the rotating operation, it reaches the pressure rollers 107a and 107b, where it is folded in a state where the binding portion is completely at the top, and the sorting gate 112 of the sorting and stacking section 93.
Sent to

When the detecting unit 91 determines that the passbooks P are normal, based on the signal from the detecting unit 91, the sorting gate 112
The bankbook P is rotated to the solid line position shown in FIG. 14, whereby the bankbooks P at this time are sent to the normal bankbook stacking unit 116a.

Feed plate 115 interlocked with the division gate 112 at this stage is driven in the direction of arrow X _1, the lever 119a, 119 hold the passbook P
While contacting b, it is pushed into the end holding plate 117a side.

When the passbooks P exceed the rotation area of the press levers 119a and 119b, the press levers 119a and 119b return to the initial positions, whereby the passbooks P that have been pressed once return to the sorting gate 115 side by mistake. Is prevented.

Thereafter, the feed plate 115 is driven to return to the initial position shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the detecting section 91 determines that the bankbooks P are abnormal, the sorting gate is determined based on the signal from the detecting section 91.
Reference numeral 112 rotates to the dashed line position shown in FIG. 14, and the passbooks P at this time are distributed to the abnormal passbooks accumulation unit 116b.

Thereafter, the feed plate 115 is driven in the X ₂ direction contrary to the case described above, performs the pushing operation of the passbook at this time.

By the above operation, the normal passbooks P and the abnormal passbooks P are stored in the storage box 110 in a state of being clearly separated, so that the handling at the time of issuing the passbook becomes easy.

The present invention can be variously modified in addition to the embodiments described above.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention described in detail above, the cover, the inner paper, and the transparent member can be reliably turned one page at a time despite the different rigidities, so that It is possible to provide a passbook issuing device capable of appropriately performing an issuing process.
