Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a device for preparing and issuing tickets and in particular transport tickets.
  • the invention relates to a machine which is capable of producing tickets, in particular transport tickets, most often comprising on the one hand printed information, in particular by thermal printing, and preferably on the other hand information recorded on a magnetic strip.
  • Such machines must, in response to information entered by the user concerning for example his destination, class, tariff, prepare a complete ticket and issue it after the payment of the corresponding price, this payment being able to be made by currency or by bank card or other.
  • Such machines are often installed in public places such as railway stations, metro stations, etc. Furthermore, the number of uses of such a machine per day is high and a malfunction is very damaging. It must therefore be robust and reliable.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device for preparing and issuing securities which includes information in magnetic form in which the magnetic recording means are simplified and allow the recording of information requiring only one passage of the title under the writing head.
  • the device for producing and issuing tickets comprising information in magnetic form comprising means for supplying portions of recording medium material having the length of a ticket, means for recording magnetic information on the portion of the recording medium and of the means for issuing the tickets, is characterized in that the means for recording magnetic information comprise: a flywheel mounted pivoting about an axis having a peripheral face; a flexible endless belt for driving the support portions; drive means for causing the displacement of one of the members constituted by the belt and by said flywheel; means for guiding said belt in such a way that the path followed by said belt comprises a part in which it is applied with pressure to a part of the periphery of the peripheral face of the flywheel by which the two members are driven in displacement by mutual friction; means for engaging a first end of a support portion between the part of said belt in contact with the periphery of said flywheel and the peripheral face of said flywheel by which said support portion is driven by the rotation of said flywheel by pinching between the belt and the peripheral face on the part of its peripher
  • the flywheel which is mechanically connected to the drive means.
  • the device for producing and issuing tickets also includes means for testing whether each ticket produced is valid or invalid and means for delivering valid tickets to users at the exit of the device and for retaining the tickets not valid.
  • the delivery means comprise a channel for guiding the processed tickets, a receptacle for valid processed tickets, said receptacle being provided with an external opening to allow users to enter a ticket, a housing communicating with the end of the guide channel.
  • mobile means mounted in said housing, said mobile means comprising a first face and a second face and defining an enclosure for collecting invalid tickets, a passage extending between said first and second faces and capable of containing a ticket, and means for closing the end of said channel and said outlet opening, and means for moving said mobile means between a first position in which one end of said passage is opposite the end of said channel and the other end is not opposite the outlet opening, and the closure means blocks said outlet opening, a second position in which said collection enclosure faces the end of said channel and said closure means obturates said outlet opening , and a third position in which said closure means blocks the end of said channel and the second end of said passage is opposite said outlet opening.
  • the device for producing and issuing tickets comprising means for supplying support material for the production of tickets
  • the supply means comprise a receptacle movable in a direction XX 'relative to to said means for producing securities for receiving n rolls of strips of support material, each roll being able to rotate about an axis YY 'parallel to the direction XX', said rollers being arranged side by side so that their axes of rotation are parallel, an enclosure in which said receptacle is mounted, said enclosure comprising a fixed partition substantially parallel to said direction of movement and provided with an opening capable of allowing passage said strip of support material, said opening opening into a volume of said device containing said means for producing tickets, n non-return devices integral with said receptacle, each non-return device being capable of maintaining the free end of a strip in looking at said opening, said non-return means in the active position authorizing only the unwinding of said roller, and means for relative displacement of said recepta
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a roll of strip of support material for the production of tickets which is protected against fraud attempts which could commit maintenance workers of the device when reloading the device into rolls to be placed in the storage module.
  • This device essentially consists of a lower compartment 10 for storing rolls of strips of paper or the like used to produce the transport tickets, an upper compartment 12 comprising the effective means for preparing the ticket, that is to say that is to say essentially magnetic and thermal information recording means for carrying out the particular ticket requested, and associated with an output module 14 which allows on the one hand to control the output of the ticket produced and to avoid certain acts of vandalism.
  • the title development device also includes an interface panel 16 which allows the user on the one hand to select the particular title or titles he wants to obtain and to pay the amount corresponding to obtaining this title and, on the other hand, the attendant to carry out various maintenance operations.
  • the device comprises a set of electrical and electronic circuits 18 which allows the management of the whole of the ticketing device. They make it possible to control and command the operation of different parts of the device in response to the actuation of the interface means 16, either that they are actuated by a user to obtain the issue of one or more tickets, or that they are actuated by the maintenance attendant of the machine.
  • FIG. 1 also schematically shows the electrical connections which exist between the different parts of the device and which will be explained later.
  • the compartment 10 makes it possible to store four support rollers referenced R1, R2, R3 and R4 in FIG. 2, each roller being able to consist of a type of support of realization of different title or these rollers being able to correspond only to two different types of support, a first roller of a first support type being used when the second roller of the same support type is used up.
  • the support strip comprises a magnetic strip arranged on a first face and a heat-printable surface arranged on the second face.
  • Each roller R1 is placed inside a tray B1, B2, B3, B4, these trays themselves forming part of a carriage 20 which is suspended, for example by rods 22, 24 secured to the upper partition 26 of the lower compartment. It is understood that thus the carriage 20 can be moved globally inside the compartment 10 in the direction of the arrows F1 or F2, that is to say in a direction which is parallel to the axis XX 'of the different rollers R.
  • Each bin B has a movable partition comprising a portion in the form of a cylindrical surface portion 28, an internal end 30 of which is preferably provided with a locking member 32 on the carriage 20.
  • the cylindrical partition portion 28 on the front face of the title delivery device is extended by a substantially planar part 34, the part 34 ending in a securing end 36.
  • the assembly of the partition 28, 34 is pivotally mounted about an axis 37 relative to the movable carriage 20.
  • the support rollers R rest freely on the bottom of the cylindrical portion 28 of the partition.
  • Each tray B is completed by two lateral partitions 38 and 40 fixed. It is understood that thus each roller R rests freely on the bottom of a tray B. Thus by pulling on the free end E of the paper strip, the roller is caused to rotate and the strip is unwound.
  • Motor means not shown in the figures allow, as already indicated, the overall movement of the assembly of the carriage 20 in the directions F1 and F2. As will be explained later, these movements are intended to allow each of the trays and therefore each of the rollers R opposite a fixed opening 42 formed in the upper partition 26 of the compartment 10 which allows the introduction of the end E of the paper strip inside the compartment 12 for printing the titles.
  • These displacement means may consist in providing that the rods 22 and 24 are threaded and that the carriage 20 is suspended by threaded rings cooperating with the rods. Motor means allow the rods to rotate.
  • e is called the width of each tray B in the direction of movement and therefore e the width of the opening 42 in this same direction
  • the distance of movement L1 to the right of the opening 42 is equal to at least 3 times the distance e
  • the length of displacement L2 on the other side of the opening 42 is equal to at least 4 times e.
  • Maintaining in the closed position of the different tanks is achieved in part by a vertical plate 44 secured to the frame of the device.
  • the closing ends 36 of the movable walls of the various tanks are engaged behind the plate 44 thus ensuring their immobilization.
  • the plate 44 is provided with a notch 46 which corresponds to the position of the opening 42.
  • the fixed lock 32 is arranged in relation to the notch 46, that is to say that it acts on the end 30 of the tank which is opposite the opening 42. This lock 32 is electrically controlled by the control circuit 18.
  • the compartment containing the carriage 20 has a substantially horizontal upper wall 50 which has a folded portion 52 projecting above the partition 50, that is to say inside the printing compartment 12. This folded portion 52 extends in the direction of movement of the carriage.
  • the folded portion 52 is intended to receive the end E of each strip of support paper.
  • the opening 42 which has already been discussed is formed in the folded portion 52. It is understood that thus the end E of the reel of the paper roll R disposed in the tray B opposite of the opening 42 has two faces which are free and located inside the upper compartment 12 of the ticket delivery device.
  • the means of production of the ticket to grasp the end of the title support strip and to extract the desired length therefrom in order to print it.
  • a roller is provided, mounted in the carriage 20 and opposite each tray.
  • non-return valve 54 which cooperates with guide plates 56 and 58 of the paper strip.
  • the non-return roller 54 has, as it is understood, the function of preventing the fall of the end of the paper strip E while allowing the paper strip to exit from the lower compartment under the effect of a pull.
  • the non-return roller 54 is for example constituted by a cylinder, each end 54a of which is engaged between two guide plates 55 and 57 which widen upwards. An upward pull on the end of the support strip releases the roller 54.
  • a movable contact for example a spring 59 or any other means, for example optical, makes it possible to detect the end of the strip in the tank corresponding to the level of the non-return roller. This information is transmitted to the control circuits 18 of the device.
  • the distance between the detector 59 and the axis of the non-return roller is at least equal to the standard length of a ticket.
  • the support strip is engaged between the roller 54 and the upper end of the guide plate 56 of the strip.
  • the module 12 for printing or recording the device for producing and issuing tickets, in particular transport tickets.
  • a first assembly 60 for driving the end of the paper strip out of the storage area and for cutting the strip in order to isolate it.
  • a magnetic recording part 62 consisting essentially of means for driving the cut title and magnetic printing for recording information and finally a part 64 for graphic printing of the title.
  • the means for extracting the strip from the storage compartment 10 consist essentially of a drive roller 66 mounted opposite a pressure roller 68 which can assume a released position as shown in FIG. 7 or an active position as will be explained later.
  • the rollers 66 and 68 are arranged on either side of the opening 42 formed in the folded portion 52 of the storage housing 10. Thus, the rollers 66 and 68 can act on both sides of the end E of the strip of paper when the corresponding tray has been brought opposite the opening 42.
  • the ticket cutting device consists essentially of a movable blade 69 and a fixed blade 71. These two blades are arranged above the rollers 66 and 68. As best shown in FIG.
  • the drive roller 66 is coupled to a motor member 70 which is controlled by all of the control circuits 18 of the ticket delivery device.
  • the roller 66 is controlled in such a way that its rotation causes the end of the paper strip to move upwards when the roller 68 is in the active position.
  • the movement of the pressure roller 68 as well as the movement of the movable blade 69 are controlled by the same motor member 72 visible in Figure 6.
  • This drives a cam 74 on which is fixed a lever 76 cooperating with the control end 78 of the blade 69.
  • the roller 68 is mounted at a first end of a lever arm 80 articulated around an axis 82 secured to the frame.
  • the second end 84 of the lever 80 cooperates with the cam 74. It is understood that the rotation of the cam 74 in the direction S1 causes the blade 69 to move into its position shown in FIG. 7, that is to say in its active position, and that, on the other hand, the cam causes the spacing of the pressure roller 68 due to the reverser constituted by the lever 80.
  • FIG. 8 shows the roller 68 and the blade 69 in their two extreme positions I and II. More precisely, when it is rotated in the direction S1 which causes the active movement of the movable blade 69, the cam 74 acts on the lever 80 to cause the separation of the roller 68 only when the blade is close to its end of race, that is to say when the cutting has already taken place. Thus, the support strip is pinched between the rollers 66 and 68 during the entire cutting phase.
  • This lifting is made possible due to the non-rigid connection between the control end of the blade 69 and the lever 76.
  • the advantage of this lifting is as follows.
  • the end E of each of the strips is held in the folded zone 52 of the partition 50 by the non-return roller 54.
  • the free edge of this end has been defined by the cut made by the movable blade 69.
  • the blade 69 is held in its raised position (above the cutting plane). This prevents the free edges of the ends of the strips from striking the blade 69, which could occur if it was not in the raised position.
  • Above the cutting area are provided two plates 88 and 90 which define a vertical bottleneck for the passage of the previously cut title.
  • the magnetic recording assembly 62 This essentially comprises a flywheel 92 mounted pivoting about a horizontal axis 94 integral with the frame of the compartment 12. This flywheel therefore comprises a cylindrical side wall 94.
  • the assembly 62 also includes an endless belt 96, the path of which is defined by rollers 98, 100, 102 and 104 mounted idly on horizontal axes integral with the frame. These rollers are arranged in such a way that, over a portion of its path, the belt is applied with pressure against a part corresponding substantially to 180 ° to the peripheral face 94 of the flywheel.
  • a magnetic writing head 110 Opposite the portion of the periphery G corresponding to the contact between the belt and the flywheel is mounted a magnetic writing head 110 and preferably a magnetic reading head 112.
  • the writing head 110 is mounted on the end of an elastic arm 114 whose end 114a is fixed.
  • the mounting is such that the distance f between the active face of the print head in its rest position and the periphery of the flywheel is less than the thickness of the ticket but that this distance f is not zero. It is understood that, during the passage of the ticket between the print head 110 and the periphery of the flywheel, the ticket causes a limited bending of the arm 114, which ensures contact between the magnetic track of the ticket and the writing head during the whole passage of the title in front of this head.
  • the read head 112 is mounted in the same way at the end of the elastic arm 116 for exactly the same reasons.
  • the flywheel 94 has a very significant weight compared to that of the title.
  • the title is very effectively pinched between the steering wheel and the belt. The effort resulting from the lifting of the reading head 112 by the front edge of the title does not cause any disturbance of the speed of rotation of the steering wheel and therefore of the speed of movement of the title in front of the magnetic writing head 110.
  • the detectors 120 are arranged in such a way that when they detect the arrival of the free edge of the strip, the distance between this detection point and the movable blade 69 is equal to the length of a ticket. This detection causes the stop of the drive roller 66 and the control of the movement of the movable blade 69 to cut the ticket. More specifically, the detection signal is applied to the control circuits 18 of the ticket delivery device. These circuits use software which makes it possible to introduce an adjustable time delay between the moment of detection and the moment of the command to stop the drive roller 66. The position of the detectors 120 takes account of this time delay.
  • the attendant can modify this time delay to adapt it to the effective characteristics of the device so that the length of the ticket is correct.
  • the detectors 120 are also used to control the magnetic writing head when they detect the rear edge of the ticket.
  • the detection signal is transmitted to the control circuits 18 of the device which introduce an adjustable delay between detection and control of the magnetic writing head.
  • the time delay is fixed during the initial start-up of the device. Adaptable timers allow you to get rid of delicate mechanical adjustments.
  • the thermal head 126 is disposed at the outlet of the chute formed by the plates 106 and 108.
  • the active end 126a of the thermal head is mounted on the module frame via a spring leaf 128 as shown in FIG. 10.
  • the thermal head 126 which is either at direct thermal printing, or possibly thermal transfer printing, cooperates with a pressure roller 128 disposed opposite the active part of the thermal head.
  • the roller 128 is preferably made using an elastomeric material.
  • a reduced spacing f ' is maintained between the thermal head 126 and the periphery of the printing roller 130.
  • This spacing f' is less than the thickness of the ticket to be printed.
  • optical detectors 134 are preferably provided in zone D corresponding to the end of the drive of the ticket by the cooperation of the flywheel and of the belt 96.
  • the control circuit 18 of the device When the detectors 134 detect the exit edge of the ticket , the control circuit 18 of the device then causes the activation of the thermal printing head 126.
  • an adaptable time delay is introduced by the control circuits 18 of the device .
  • the distance between the movable knife 69 and the point A in FIG. 5 and the distance between the point B in FIG. 5 and the thermal printing roller are close to the standard length of a title.
  • FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment of the drive of the various mobile members of the printing module.
  • a motor 140 controls the driving of the flywheel 94 by means of a belt 142. This same motor controls the driving of the printing roller 130 by means of a gear train 144, 146 and 148.
  • the various members of the recording module are mounted on two vertical plates parallel to each other and parallel to the plane of FIGS. 5 to 9.
  • the recording module 12 it should be noted that it is normally locked on the module 10 for storing the rolls R, by means not shown in the figures. Unlocking the recording module 12 is only possible if beforehand the carriage 20 has been put in the position in which no tray B is opposite the opening 42. Compared to FIG. 2, this position is that in which the carriage 20 is fully pushed in the direction F1. Thus, when the recording module 12 is removed, no end of the support strip appears in the opening 42 which is then accessible to the attendant.
  • This assembly is essentially constituted in a known manner by a bowl 160 which opens to the outside of the device through an opening 162 allowing the user to enter the (or) title (s) developed (s).

  • the rotation of the cylinder portion 168 can be carried out by a motor 170 connected to the axis 172 of the cylindrical part 168 by toothed wheels 174.
  • a portion of wall corresponding to a cylindrical sector 176 leaves only a reduced opening 178 between the bowl itself 160 and the housing 180 in which the part 168 is mounted.
  • the part 168 firstly defines a receptacle 182 for invalid tickets, this receptacle comprising a bottom 182a and a second open end 182b.
  • the part 168 also defines a passage 184 which extends from one face to the other of the cylindrical part.
  • this part has a solid shutter portion 186.
  • the part 168 occupies the position shown in FIG. 12a, that is to say that the passage 184 is in the extension of the channel 164, the second end of the channel is closed by the wall 176 and the opening 178 is closed by the part 186 of this part. In this position, the valid processed tickets can accumulate inside the passage 184.
  • the control circuits 18 of the device activate the motor 170 to bring the part 168 into the position shown in FIG.
  • the control circuits 18 of the device control the motor 170 to bring the part 166 to the position shown in FIG. 12c.
  • the open end 182b of the receptacle for the invalid ticket 182 is brought opposite the channel 164. The invalid ticket is thus collected in the receptacle 182 where it is definitively blocked until the next maintenance operation.
  • the diameter D of the cylindrical piece 166 is slightly greater than the length of a ticket and that the width of the passage 184 is determined to allow the maximum number of tickets that can be ordered simultaneously to be received simultaneously.
  • the organization aims to avoid as much as possible that a maintenance person can steal part of 'a roller or a roller.
  • the carriage comprises four rollers, two rollers belonging to a first type and the other two rollers belonging to a second type.
  • the principle of reloading is that a roll can only be changed when it is completely finished. This result is obtained on the one hand by the presence of latches 32 which do not allow the opening of a container by pivoting of the wall 28, 34 unless the control circuits 18 have detected that the roller is finished and have unlocked the lock 32.
  • the control circuit of the device causes the activation of the means of displacement of the carriage 20 in order to bring it initially in a position such that the started roller corresponding to the desired title is opposite the slot of the opening 42.
  • the control circuit controls the activation of the motor 71, which causes the drive of the roller 66, the counter roller 68 also being in the active position and the blade 69 in the retracted position.
  • the roller 66 causes the extraction of the end of the strip which is engaged between the guide plates 88 and 90 until the detector 120 detects the front end of the strip.
  • this detection controls the stopping of the motor 71 and the activation of the motor 72 in order to initially control the movement of the blade 69 in order to obtain the cutting of the ticket and, at the end of phase, the spacing of the counter-roller 68.
  • the front edge of the ticket thus cut is pinched in the zone A between the belt 96 and the periphery 94 of the flywheel 92.
  • This causes the movement of the cut ticket until its rear edge is detected by the detectors 120, which then activates the activation of the magnetic writing head 110.
  • the title continuing its rotation on the steering wheel 92 passes in front of the reading head 112 which verifies that the magnetic information has been correctly registered.
  • the distance between the detector 120 and the writing head is such that it makes it possible to verify that the length of the title is correct.
  • partially random magnetic information can be recorded on the magnetic strip and read by the read head 112 to ensure that no fraudulent sampling has been carried out on the tape. If the title length is incorrect or if the magnetic information is incorrect, an error signal is transmitted to the control circuit 18 of the device, which will cause the invalid title to be picked up.
  • the ticket is gradually released from the steering wheel 92 and when the detectors 134 detect the rear edge of the ticket, the thermal print head 126 is controlled to print the information corresponding to the selected ticket.

If the title is valid, it is retained in passage 184 until all the titles ordered have been prepared and temporarily stored in passage 184. When all of the titles have been brought in passage 184 and that the user has paid the amount corresponding to the desired title, the control circuits 18 cause the activation of the motor 170 to bring the rotary part 166 into the position shown in FIG. 12b, the titles then falling into the bowl 160.
