Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Druckvorrichtung, insbesondere Fahrscheindruckvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a printing device, in particular a ticket printing device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Insbesondere befaßt sich die vorliegende Erfindung mit einer Fahrscheindruckvorrichtung, mit der sowohl ein streifenförmiges, vorzugsweise von einer Vorratsrolle zugeführtes Druckgut, als auch ein separat von außen zuführbares, kartenförmiges Druckgut, insbesondere in der Form von Einzelfahrscheinen, bedruckbar ist.In particular, the present invention is concerned with a ticket printing device with which both a strip-shaped printed matter, preferably fed from a supply roll, and a separately printed, card-shaped printed matter, particularly in the form of single tickets, can be printed.

Eine bekannte, handelsübliche Druckvorrichtung (CH-A-626 832) hat ein Druckwerk, eine Vorratsrolle eines streifenförmigen Druckgutes, das durch einen Papierstreifen gebildet wird, sowie eine Transportvorrichtung für den Papierstreifen. Bei einem Bedrucken des Papierstreifens wird dieser durch die Transportvorrichtung gegenüber dem Druckwerk in Vorschubrichtung transportiert. Ebenfalls ist es möglich, mit der bekannten Druckvorrichtung von außen in das Druckwerk eingeführte Einzelfahrausweise zu bedrucken. Bei dieser Betriebsart muß jedoch der Papierstreifen außer Eingriff mit der Transportvorrichtung und dem Druckwerk sein. Wenn nach einem Bedrucken eines Einzelfahrscheines erneut der Papierstreifen bedruckt werden soll, ist es nötig, diesen wiederum in Eingriff mit dem Druckwerk sowie der Transportvorrichtung zu bringen. Wegen dieses Erfordernisses ist es nicht möglich, die bekannte Druckvorrichtung zum wechselweisen Einsatz für das Bedrucken von Einzelfahrscheinen sowie von Papierstreifen einzusetzen.A known, commercially available printing device (CH-A-626 832) has a printing unit, a supply roll of a strip-like one Printed matter, which is formed by a paper strip, and a transport device for the paper strip. When the paper strip is printed, it is transported in the feed direction by the transport device relative to the printing unit. It is also possible to print single tickets that have been introduced into the printing unit from the outside with the known printing device. In this mode, however, the paper strip must be out of engagement with the transport device and the printing unit. If, after printing a single ticket, the paper strip is to be printed again, it is necessary to bring it into engagement with the printing unit and the transport device. Because of this requirement, it is not possible to use the known printing device for alternating use for printing single tickets and paper strips.

Gegenüber diesem Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Druckvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß mit ihr sowohl das streifenförmige Druckgut als auch ein einzeln zuführbares, kartenförmiges Druckgut bedruckbar sind.Compared to this prior art, the object of the present invention is to develop a printing device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be used to print both the strip-shaped printed matter and an individually feedable, card-shaped printed matter.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Druckvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved in a printing device according to the preamble of patent claim 1 by the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Druckvorrichtung kann mittels der erfindungsgemäß ausgestalteten Blockiervorrichtung und Einführöffnung für das kartenförmige Druckgut eine handelsübliche Druckvorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art für das wechselweise Bedrucken sowohl eines streifenförmigen Druckgutes, wie eines Papierstreifens, wie auch eines kartenförmigen Druckgutes, wie beispielsweise eines Einzelfahrscheines, verwendet werden. Beim Bedrucken des streifenförmigen Druckgutes bleibt die Blockiervorrichtung außer Funktion, so daß die Druckvorrichtung in dieser Betriebsart eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik unveränderte Betriebsweise hat.In the printing device according to the invention, by means of the blocking device and insertion opening for the card-shaped printed matter designed according to the invention, a commercially available printing device of the type described at the outset for alternately printing both a strip-shaped printed matter and a paper strip, as well as a card-shaped printed matter, such as a single ticket. When printing on the strip-shaped material to be printed, the blocking device remains inoperative, so that the printing device in this operating mode has an unchanged mode of operation compared to the prior art.

Beim Einführen eines kartenförmigen Druckgutes durch die Einführöffnung in der zweiten Betriebsart wird die Blockiervorrichtung für das streifenförmige Gut betätigt. Beim Einführen des kartenförmigen Druckgutes kommt dieses zwischen einem Teil des Druckwerkes und dem streifenförmigen Gut einerseits und einem Teil der Transportvorrichtung und dem streifenförmigen Gut andererseits zu liegen. Beim anschließenden Bedrucken des kartenförmigen Druckgutes durch das Druckwerk wird das kartenförmige Druckgut durch die Transportvorrichtung gefördert, wobei das kartenförmige Druckgut auf dem streifenförmigen Druckgut gleitet. Das kartenförmige Druckgut deckt während des Druckvorganges das streifenförmige Druckgut gegenüber dem druckenden Teil des Druckwerkes ab, so daß lediglich das kartenförmige Druckgut bedruckt wird. Nach dem Entnehmen des kartenförmigen Druckgutes aus der Einführöffnung ist die erfindungsgemäße Druckvorrichtung zum weiteren Bedrucken des streifenförmigen Druckgutes einsetzbar.When inserting a card-shaped printed material through the insertion opening in the second operating mode, the blocking device for the strip-shaped material is actuated. When the card-shaped material to be printed is inserted, it comes to lie between a part of the printing unit and the strip-like material on the one hand and a part of the transport device and the strip-like material on the other hand. During the subsequent printing of the card-shaped printed material by the printing unit, the card-shaped printed material is conveyed through the transport device, the card-shaped printed material sliding on the strip-shaped printed material. The card-shaped printed matter covers the strip-shaped printed matter relative to the printing part of the printing unit during the printing process, so that only the card-shaped printed matter is printed. After the card-shaped printed matter has been removed from the insertion opening, the printing device according to the invention can be used for further printing on the strip-shaped printed matter.

Bei einer Anwendung als Fahrscheindruckvorrichtung arbeitet die erfindungsgemäße Druckvorrichtung mit dem in Anspruch 2 festgelegten Druckgut.When used as a ticket printing device, the printing device according to the invention works with the printed matter defined in claim 2.

Die in den Ansprüchen 3 und 4 angegebenen Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Druckvorrichtung ermöglichen ein besonders einfaches Einführen des kartenförmigen Druckgutes.The developments of the printing device according to the invention specified in claims 3 and 4 enable particularly simple insertion of the card-shaped printed matter.

Die in Anspruch 5 angegebene Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Druckvorrichtung ermöglicht einen besonders einfachen Ersatz einer verbrauchten Vorratsrolle des streifenförmigen Druckgutes durch eine neue Vorratsrolle bei einfacher Einführbarkeit des streifenförmigen Druckgutes durch die Blockvorrichtung, Transportvorrichtung und das Druckwerk.The embodiment of the printing device according to the invention specified in claim 5 enables a particularly simple replacement of a used supply roll of the strip-shaped printed matter by a new supply roll with simple insertion of the strip-shaped printed matter by the block device, transport device and the printing unit.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung ist Gegenstand des Anspruchs 6.A further preferred embodiment is the subject of claim 6.

Nachfolgend wird unter Bezugnahme auf beiliegende Zeichnung eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der erfindunsgemäßen Druckvorrichtung näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:
Die einzige Figur eine Schnittdarstellung durch eine erfindungsgemäße Druckvorrichtung.A preferred embodiment of the printing device according to the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing. It shows:
The only figure is a sectional view through a printing device according to the invention.

Die in der Figur gezeigte Druckvorrichtung, die insbesondere als Fahrscheindruckvorrichtung einsetzbar ist, weist ein Druckwerk 8, 9, 11 auf, das einen Druckkopf 8, Drucknadeln 9, ein vor den Nadeln 9 verlaufendes Farbband 10 und einen Anschlagbalken 11 umfaßt. Der Druckkopf 8 ist auf zwei Gleitschienen 7 geführt. Eine Transportvorrichtung 1, 2 weist eine angetriebene Transportrolle 1 sowie eine nicht angetriebene Transportrolle 2 auf, die an einem Arm 3 angeordnet ist. Der Arm ist an einer Welle 4 am Gehäuse 5 des Druckers gelagert. Der Arm 3 wird von einer (nicht dargestellten) Feder derart beaufschlagt, daß die nicht angetriebene Transportrolle 2 gegen die angetriebene Transportrolle 1 federnd anliegt.The printing device shown in the figure, which can be used in particular as a ticket printing device, has a printing unit 8, 9, 11, which comprises a print head 8, printing needles 9, an ink ribbon 10 running in front of the needles 9 and a stop bar 11. The print head 8 is guided on two slide rails 7. A transport device 1, 2 has a driven transport roller 1 and a non-driven transport roller 2, which is arranged on an arm 3. The arm is mounted on a shaft 4 on the housing 5 of the printer. The arm 3 is acted upon by a spring (not shown) in such a way that the non-driven transport roller 2 rests resiliently against the driven transport roller 1.

Eine Rollenhalterung 13 ist an einem gegenüber dem Gehäuse 5 verschwenkbaren Deckel 16 angeordnet und trägt mittels eines Papierrollenträgers 22 eine Vorratsrolle 6 eines Papierstreifens 21. Der Papierstreifen 21 erstreckt sich von der Vorratsrolle 6 über eine Andruckwelle 15 und die nicht angetriebene Transportrolle 2 sowie den Anschlagbalken 11 bis zu einem in einem Deckel 19 des Gehäuses 5 angeordneten Schlitz 18 zum Herausführen des Papierstreifens.A roll holder 13 is arranged on a cover 16 which is pivotable relative to the housing 5 and carries a supply roll 6 by means of a paper roll holder 22 of a paper strip 21. The paper strip 21 extends from the supply roll 6 via a pressure shaft 15 and the non-driven transport roller 2 and the stop bar 11 to a slot 18 arranged in a cover 19 of the housing 5 for guiding out the paper strip.

Der Deckel 19 weist neben dem Schlitz 18 eine Einführöffnung 17 für ein kartenförmiges Druckgut 20 auf. Die Einführöffnung 17 ist derart angeordnet, daß das kartenförmige Druckgut 20, das insbesondere durch Einzelfahrscheine oder Einzelfahrkarten gebildet wird, sowohl zwischen den Nadeln 9 des Druckkopfes 8 und dem Anschlagbalken 11 wie auch zwischen der angetriebenen Transportrolle 1 und der nicht angetriebenen Transportrolle 2 der Transportvorrichtung 1, 2 einführbar ist. Die Einführung des kartenförmigen Druckgutes wird durch einen Anschlagwinkel 12 begrenzt.In addition to the slot 18, the cover 19 has an insertion opening 17 for a card-shaped printed material 20. The insertion opening 17 is arranged in such a way that the card-shaped printed material 20, which is formed in particular by single tickets or single tickets, both between the needles 9 of the print head 8 and the stop bar 11 and between the driven transport roller 1 and the non-driven transport roller 2 of the transport device 1 , 2 is insertable. The introduction of the card-shaped printed matter is limited by a stop bracket 12.

Eine Blockiervorrichtung für das streifenförmige Druckgut 21 wird durch die Andruckwelle 15 an der Rollenhalterung 13 und durch eine verschwenkbare, elektrisch betätigbare Kurbelwelle 14 gebildet.A blocking device for the strip-shaped printing material 21 is formed by the pressure shaft 15 on the roller holder 13 and by a pivotable, electrically actuable crankshaft 14.

Die erfindungsgemäße Druckvorrichtung arbeitet folgendermaßen:
Zum Bedrucken des streifenförmigen Druckgutes 21 liegt die nicht angetriebene Transportrolle 2 unter der Wirkung des federnd vorgespannten Hebels 3 am streifenförmigen Druckgut 21 an, das durch die angetriebene Transportrolle 1 gefördert wird. Hierbei ist die Blockiervorrichtung 14, 15 nicht aktiviert. Während des Transportes des streifenförmigen Druckgutes wird dieses vom Druckwerk 8, 9, 11 bedruckt und aus dem Schlitz 18 herausgeführt.The printing device according to the invention works as follows:
For printing on the strip-shaped printed material 21, the non-driven transport roller 2 lies against the strip-shaped printed material 21, which is conveyed by the driven transport roller 1, under the action of the spring-loaded lever 3. Here, the blocking device 14, 15 is not activated. During the transport of the strip-like printed matter, it is printed by the printing unit 8, 9, 11 and guided out of the slot 18.

Zum Bedrucken eines kartenförmigen Druckgutes 20 wird dieses durch die Einführöffnung 17 eingeschoben. Die Betriebsart des Bedruckens wird von der Druckvorrichtung entweder durch Erfassen des Einführens des kartenförmigen Druckgutes automatisch eingenommen oder durch Betätigen einer (nicht dargestellten) Betriebsartvorwahltaste erfaßt. Zunächst wird durch automatische elektrische Anlenkung der Welle 4 der bewegliche Arm 3 aus seiner Grundstellung in eine betätigte, in der Figur im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkte Stellung gebracht, wodurch zwischen dem Farbband 10 und dem Anschlagbalken 11 einerseits sowie zwischen der angetriebenen Transportrolle 1 und der nicht angetriebenen Transportrolle 2 andererseits eine Öffnung entsteht. Das kartenförmige Druckgut 20 wird bis gegen den Anschlag 12 in das Druckwerk eingeschoben, woraufhin der bewegliche Arm 3 seine Grundstellung einnimmt. In dieser Grundstellung befinden sich also sowohl das streifenförmige Druckgut 21 wie auch das kartenförmige Druckgut 20 zwischen den Transportrollen 1, 2.To print a card-shaped printed matter 20, it is inserted through the insertion opening 17. The operating mode of the printing is either automatically assumed by the printing device by detecting the insertion of the card-shaped printed matter or by pressing a mode selection key (not shown). First, by means of automatic electrical articulation of the shaft 4, the movable arm 3 is brought out of its basic position into an actuated position pivoted clockwise in the figure, as a result of which between the ink ribbon 10 and the stop bar 11 on the one hand and between the driven transport roller 1 and the non-driven transport roller 2 on the other hand, an opening is created. The card-shaped printed material 20 is pushed into the printing unit up to the stop 12, whereupon the movable arm 3 assumes its basic position. In this basic position, both the strip-shaped printed material 21 and the card-shaped printed material 20 are located between the transport rollers 1, 2.

Nunmehr wird die Kurbelwelle 14 über einen Elektromagneten (nicht dargestellt) elektrisch gegen die Andruckwelle 15 verschwenkt, so daß das streifenförmige Druckgut 21 zwischen diesen Teilen eingeklemmt wird.Now the crankshaft 14 is pivoted electrically against the pressure shaft 15 via an electromagnet (not shown), so that the strip-shaped printing material 21 is clamped between these parts.

Beim anschließenden Betätigen der Transportvorrichtung 1, 2 schiebt die angetriebene Transportrolle 1 das kartenförmige Druckgut 20 gleitend über das streifenförmige Druckgut 21 in Richtung zur Einführöffnung 17, während das kartenförmige Druckgut 20 vom Druckwerk 8, 9, 11 bedruckt wird.When the transport device 1, 2 is subsequently actuated, the driven transport roller 1 slides the card-shaped printed material 20 over the strip-shaped printed material 21 in the direction of the insertion opening 17, while the card-shaped printed material 20 is printed by the printing unit 8, 9, 11.

Wenn die Vorratsrolle 6 des streifenförmigen Druckgutes 21 aufgebracht ist und ersetzt werden muß, wird der schwenkbare Deckel 16 geöffnet. Hierbei schwenkt zusammen mit dem schwenkbaren Deckel 16 die Rollenhalterung 13 und damit die Andruckwelle 15 in eine von der Kurbelwelle 14 beabstandete Lage. In dieser Lage ist die durch die Transportrollen 1, 2 festgelegte Einzugsöffnung des Druckwerkes frei zugänglich, so daß ein Neueinlegen des streifenförmigen Druckgutes 21 kein Problem bereitet. Bei dem darauffolgenden Schließen des schwenkbaren Deckels 16 des Gehäuses 5 wird das streifenförmige Druckgut 21 automatisch in die gewünschte Lage zwischen der Andruckwelle 15 und der Kurbelwelle 14 gebracht.When the supply roll 6 of the strip-shaped material to be printed 21 is applied and has to be replaced, the pivotable cover 16 is opened. Here pivots together with the pivotable cover 16, the roller holder 13 and thus the pressure shaft 15 in a position spaced from the crankshaft 14. In this position, the feed opening of the printing unit, which is defined by the transport rollers 1, 2, is freely accessible, so that a new insertion of the strip-shaped printed matter 21 is not a problem. When the pivotable cover 16 of the housing 5 is subsequently closed, the strip-shaped printed material 21 is automatically brought into the desired position between the pressure shaft 15 and the crankshaft 14.

Obwohl die erfindungsgemäße Druckvorrichtung unter Bezugnahme auf eine Fahrscheindruckvorrichtung erläutert worden ist, ist sie überall dort einsetzbar, wo neben einem streifenförmigen Druckgut ein kartenförmiges, also in separate Teile untergliedertes Druckgut zu bedrucken ist.Although the printing device according to the invention has been explained with reference to a ticket printing device, it can be used wherever, in addition to a strip-shaped printed matter, a card-shaped printed matter, that is to say divided into separate parts, is to be printed.

Anstelle des beschriebenen Nadeldruckwerkes kann auch jegliches andere Druckwerk eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere ist der Einsatz eines Typenraddruckers, eines Tintenstrahldruckers, eines Laserdruckers oder eines anderen, für den jeweils gewünschten Zweck geeigneten Druckers möglich.Instead of the needle printing unit described, any other printing unit can also be used. In particular, the use of a type wheel printer, an inkjet printer, a laser printer or another printer suitable for the desired purpose is possible.

Die Transportvorrichtung kann anstelle eines einzigen angetriebenen Transportrades auch mehrere Transporträder oder Transportbänder umfassen.Instead of a single driven transport wheel, the transport device can also comprise a plurality of transport wheels or conveyor belts.

Als Blockiervorrichtung kommt jeglich Vorrichtung in Betracht, mit der eine Festlegung des streifenförmigen Druckgutes gegen die Transportwirkung der Transportvorrichtung möglich ist.Any device with which it is possible to fix the strip-shaped printed matter against the transport effect of the transport device is possible as a blocking device.
