Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ticket dispensing apparatus, each of which is constituted by a detached section of a continuous strip of paper. More specifically, the apparatus of the invention is associated with a printing machine of these tickets which forms the receipt or the written record of a transaction such as a payment by means of a credit card. And more specifically, a particular application of this device lies in its association with a thermal printer.
  • the blades may be linear or serrated wire.
  • the invention relates to a ticket dispenser device from a continuous paper web, each formed by an end section of this band that can be grasped by a recipient of the ticket and pulled by pulling on it. end, comprising a pinching mechanism of the paper along a substantially transverse line of the strip and, downstream of this mechanism, a cutting blade also substantially transverse to the strip on the cutting edge of which, during the aforesaid pulling , the band is supported.
  • the continuous or serrated cutting edge of the blade is formed by a segment of a line intersecting the plane of the paper strip in contact with the blade before cutting containing the pinch line AS IN THE DOCUMENT US-A-4,579,267 , and whose projection in this plane converges towards the pinch line from the contact of the paper on the blade.
  • the pinch line is the line of contact of the print head with the capstan drive the paper under it. It is not uncommon for the force exerted by the head on the capstan is insufficient to ensure proper pinching of the paper that can slip during cutting.
  • the retention of the paper is also effected by the friction of the part thereof which is wrapped around the capstan, the latter being made of a material on which the paper "hangs” if only to be driven by the capstan .
  • the tensile force at least before the beginning of the cut is thus exerted disadvantageously on the capstan which cash forces spurts adversely affecting, in the long run, its proper operation.
  • the blade is secured to a support pivotally mounted about a fixed axis substantially parallel to a transverse line of the paper strip, located under the cutting edge and recessed of the latter, the support having, upstream of the cutting blade, a jaw-shaped portion which projects towards the strip against a fixed stop when the end of the strip undergoes the aforesaid traction.
  • This jaw and this abutment form an additional pinching mechanism that comes either to prevent slippage of the paper during cutting, or at least partly to relieve the capstan of the tensile force resulting from the receipt of the ticket by the recipient.
  • FIG. 1 To the figure 1 there is shown a paper strip 1 which passes over a roller 2. At a generatrix 3 of this roll, this paper strip can be pinched (arrow P). Beyond the roll, in the direction of passage D of the strip, it passes over a cutting blade 4 which extends substantially transversely to the strip. This cutting blade has a cutting or cutting edge 5 (the wire of the blade), here represented without serration.
  • the wire 5 of the blade is formed by a straight section which is secant of the plane tangent to the roll 2 containing the paper web and passing through the pinch line 3.
  • the edge of the blade 5 is in contact with the edge 1a of the paper web while it is located well below its edge 1 b (distance x).
  • the point of contact 6 of the strip with the blade is a point of initiation of the cut when the band is folded vertically and it is subjected to traction T.
  • the cutting blade is inclined towards the nip 3 so that its portion located under the edge 1 b of the strip 1 is more close to this pinch line so that the point of intersection of the wire 5 and the edge 1b is at the same distance from the line 3 as the point 6.
  • the convergence angle A is of course a few degrees (exaggerated on the representation of the figure 1 ).
  • the roller 2 constitutes the capstan of a thermal printer whose printing head is represented at 8 with a line of heating points 9, resiliently biased against the capstan 2 by an elastic member 10.
  • the paper strip 1 at the end of the The thermal printer is conducted in a chute 11 at the end of which it can be grasped by the user.
  • the cutting device according to the invention is located at the entrance of the chute 11, so as to protrude into the path of the paper so that the latter has a direct contact with the cutting blade when pulling on the strip of paper.
  • the cutting blade 4 is carried by (or in one piece with) a support 12 which is pivotally mounted about an axis 13 which is substantially parallel to a transverse line of the paper strip set back from the cutting edge. 5 of the blade so that traction on the paper transmitted to the blade and the support creates a pivoting torque of the latter around the axis 13.
  • This support has an upper surface 14 forming a paper guide at the entrance to the blade. chute 11, this surface 14 being limited downstream by the cutting blade 4 (or a cutting edge of the support itself) and upstream by a portion 15 facing a stop 16 which forms the inlet of the chute 11.
  • the relative position of the wire 5 of the blade 4 and the axis 13 is such that when pulling on the paper strip 1, outside the chute 11, the support 12 can swing in the direction clockwise inside the trough 11 to the contact of the portion 15 with the stop 16.
  • An elastic return member 17 acts on the support 12 to move the jaw 15 away from the stop 16 when the pulling effort has stopped.
  • FIG 3 there is shown an alternative embodiment of the ticket dispenser according to the invention in which some of the elements already described bears the same references.
  • the adhesion of the paper strip to the capstan 2 of the thermal printer is assumed to be sufficient to withstand the tension exerted on this band during the delivery of the ticket.
  • the cutting blade 4 is here fixed relative to the frame members which define the chute 11 and is located at the entrance thereof protruding in the path of the paper. It is in the form of a thin blade attached to a portion of the frame of the apparatus defining the chute inlet.
  • the guide surface of the paper between the output of the thermal printer and the inlet of the chute 11 is formed, at least in part, by the upper face of a flap 18 located upstream of the 4 blade and pivotally mounted by its end remote from the blade 4 about an axis 19 substantially parallel to a transverse line of the paper web while its free end 18 is adjacent to the blade 4 forms a sliding surface for the strip of paper situated at a level higher than that of the cutting edge so that, in the absence of traction on the strip of paper, after cutting, the front edge of this strip can progress in the chute 11 under the effect of the drive by the capstan 2 without abutting against the blade 4.
  • this sliding surface formed by the flap 18 can retract to least at the cutting edge of the blade 4, against an elastic return member 20 so that the paper web can come into contact with the cutting edge of the blade 4.
  • flap 18 it is possible to provide an elastically resilient wall of the spring leaf type, which therefore has a self-return effect, fitted at one end to the frame on the side of the capstan while its free end is adjacent to the blade 4 and tends to straighten in the chute to rest resting against fixed stops flanking the paper ribbon in the vicinity of the blade 4 and now this free edge at a level slightly greater than that of the wire of the blade.
  • the apparatus according to the invention can be opening, that is to say that, the paper strip coming from a roll placed in a reserve of the apparatus, it can be convenient to introduce the roll having separated the capstan from the thermal print head.
  • the capstan, the chute and the cutting blade are carried by a hinged lid to a frame bearing as to it the printing head 8, the hinge of the cover being for example made around an axis 21 (see figure 2 ) located with respect to the line of heating points 9 of the printer 8 so that this printer forms with the capstan a device known per se resilient locking of the cover on the frame of the device.
