DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for winding a zigzag folded continuous sheet into a roll and subdividing it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of portable electronic devices such as POS devices, demand for roll-shaped continuous slips is increasing. However, a roll of continuous paper has a cylindrical outer shape, so that when storing it, wasteful space is required between adjacent roll-shaped continuous papers. there were.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, zigzag folded continuous paper which has a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape and can be stored relatively efficiently is rolled up as needed and divided into small portions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a small take-up device capable of performing the following.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a small winding device capable of winding a continuous sheet into a roll and dividing it into small pieces without using a paper tube serving as a core of the roll.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An apparatus for winding a zigzag folded continuous sheet into a roll and dividing the zigzag continuous sheet into a flat continuous sheet is provided. At least one sword bar, and a brake roll for applying tension necessary for winding the continuous paper squeezed by the sword bar;
And a winding shaft for winding the continuous paper into a roll.

[0006] The zigzag folded continuous paper is squeezed into a generally flat continuous paper form by a squeeze bar, tensioned for winding is applied by a brake roll, and then wound up in a roll form on a winding shaft. And divided into small pieces. For this reason, continuous paper can be stored without wasting space, and if necessary, roll-shaped continuous paper for use in portable small electronic application equipment such as POS equipment. It is possible to do.

The apparatus for winding a zigzag folded continuous sheet into a roll and dividing the sheet into rolls according to the present invention also includes a fixing groove extending in the axial direction on a peripheral surface of a winding shaft, and a detachable groove in the fixing groove. A fixed wedge to be inserted can also be provided. The leading end of the continuous paper to be divided is arranged on a fixed shaft, a fixed wedge is mounted on the fixed groove from above, and the winding shaft is rotated, whereby the continuous paper is wound on the winding shaft.
When the winding is completed, the fixed wedge is removed along with the rolled continuous paper in the axial direction of the winding shaft, and then removed from the rolled continuous paper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, a small winding device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises at least one sheet for zigzag-folding continuous paper P into a generally flat continuous paper. In the illustrated case, three) squeeze bar 1, a brake roll 2 for applying tension necessary for winding the continuous paper P squeezed by the squeeze bar 1 into a roll, and winding the continuous paper P into a roll And a winding shaft 3 for taking.

The squeeze bar 1 is composed of a pair of rods 1a, 1a which are arranged with a positional relationship mutually separated and sandwiched therebetween. As shown, the zigzag folded continuous sheet P is drawn into a generally flat continuous sheet state by winding the pair of rods 1a, 1a in an S-shape and moving.

The brake roll 2 is a driven roll whose rotation is appropriately braked by a suitable brake means (not shown), and is a pressing rubber provided so as to abut on the periphery thereof through the continuous paper P. The vehicle 2a is provided. The brake roll 2 winds the continuous paper P, which is moved through between the presser rubber wheels 2a, on the continuous paper P in a roll shape by appropriately braking the free winding of the continuous paper P on the winding shaft 3. Add the necessary tension to

When using a paper tube serving as a core of the roll, the winding shaft 3 is provided with a conventional means for detachably fixing a paper tube (not shown) on the outer peripheral surface of the winding shaft, for example, mounted. And an elastic member (not shown) disposed in the axial direction of the winding shaft 3 so as to elastically engage with the inner surface of the paper tube. on the other hand,
When a paper tube serving as a core of the roll is not used, as shown in FIG. 2, the winding shaft 3 has a fixed groove 3a extending in the axial direction on its peripheral surface.
The fixing wedge 4 is detachably inserted into the fixing groove 3a. The fixed wedge 4 is formed so as to be elastically fixed by interposing a continuous sheet between the fixed wedge 4 and the inner surface of the fixed groove 3a, and is slid in the fixed groove 3a in the axial direction of the winding shaft 3 by being slid. It is formed so that it can be detached from the fixing groove 3a.

After the zigzag folded continuous paper prepared in advance passes between the rods 1a, 1a of the squeeze bar 1 and the brake roll 2 and the pressing rubber wheel 2a, the leading end thereof is fixed to the winding shaft 1. You. When the paper tube is used, the paper tube is mounted on the take-up shaft, and the leading end of the continuous paper is fixed on the take-up shaft. On the other hand, when the paper tube is not used, the paper tube is fixed on the fixing groove 3a. This is performed by pushing the continuous paper that is positioned into the fixing groove 3a by the fixing wedge 4, and elastically fixing the continuous paper between the fixing wedge 4 and the fixing groove 3a.

When the apparatus thus prepared starts to operate, the zigzag folded continuous paper is fed to the squeezing bar 1.
The continuous paper is generally flat by squeezing, and then the tension required for winding is applied by the brake roll 2 and then wound around the winding shaft 3 to form a roll-shaped continuous paper. Here, preferably,
In order to always create a continuous roll of paper of a fixed length, register marks used for zigzag folding continuous paper are read, and when a certain number is reached, a sensor 5 used to stop operation is used as a brake roll. The sensor 5 is provided between the take-up shaft 3 and the take-up shaft 3 so that the continuous form P wound by the take-up shaft 3 is provided with markings indicating the start and / or end of winding of one roll-shaped continuous form. A marking roll 6 activated by a signal from

The continuous paper wound in a roll shape is taken out of the winding shaft 3 together with the paper tube when a paper tube is used, and is taken out together with the fixed wedge 4 when the paper tube is not used. After that, the fixed wedges are removed, and they are divided and used or stored as rolled continuous paper for use in portable small electronic application equipment such as POS equipment.

[0015]

According to the present invention, the continuous paper is usually stored in the form of a zigzag-folded continuous paper, and if necessary, can be wound up in a roll shape and used in small portions. The storage space can be prevented from becoming unnecessarily large. Further, since the continuous paper can be wound into a roll and divided into small portions without using a paper tube serving as a core of the roll, the storage space for the continuous paper in a portable small electronic application device such as a POS device. And a longer roll of continuous paper can be used.
