Then, as shown in FIG. 4, with the rotation of the turning roller, the center portion of the passbook 101 at the top of the passbook in the conveying direction is curved (expanded) so as to have a convex surface, and then the leading end is directed upward from the turning roller. When bouncing, the turning roller stops rotating,
The passbook is conveyed in a predetermined direction (left direction in FIG. 4), and the turning operation is completed by reversing the cover or the inner sheet that has rebounded above the turning roller.

As described above, this passbook page turning apparatus is
The page turning of the passbook can be realized only by providing a turning roller coaxially with the transport roller and rotating it in a predetermined direction at a fixed position, so there is no problem with the mounting space of the transport roller and the turning roller, and the transport path is extended. It has the advantages that the amount can be kept to a minimum and that the turning area can be easily secured.

[0015]

However, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the turning roller TR of the previously proposed page turning device is provided in a groove provided on a part of the outer periphery of the boss bm. The turning member tm is made of a material having a high coefficient of friction such as rubber, and the turning member tm is fixed thereto. The outer peripheral surfaces of the boss portions before and after the turning member tm are formed in a smooth circular arc surface. For this reason, when the stiffness of the cover or the inner paper of the passbook is particularly large, or when the surface of the turning member becomes smooth due to abrasion, as shown in FIG.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), when the leading end of the inner sheet 101 curved by being pushed up by the turning member tm further rotates from a certain angle and separates from the leading end of the inner sheet, the turning end In the case where a person mistakenly jumps down by sliding downward without jumping upward, sliding on the smooth outer peripheral surface of the boss bm and hitting the inner paper remaining on the transport surface of the passbook at right angles. There is. And
When the turning roller is rotated to the predetermined angle, the control unit
Since the passbook is transported in a direction passing between the turning roller TR and the transport surface for the binding of the passbook for reversing the inner paper, the flipped-up inner paper 101 is transported coaxially with the flipping roller TR by the transport roller. There is a risk of causing a problem such as folding in the middle of a page (center folding), or a failure to convey the passbook and jamming.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a passbook page turning apparatus using a turning roller having a turning member fixed to the outer periphery of a boss portion when turning the turning roller. An object of the present invention is to improve the reliability of page turning by preventing the occurrence of center folds and jams due to a mistake in flipping up a cover or a sheet to be turned.

[0017]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a passbook turning roller which is provided at a fixed position on a passbook transport path, is rotated in a predetermined direction, and is stopped at a turning area. In the passbook page turning device that turns the page by inflating the contacting cover or inner paper, and flipping the flipped up cover or inner paper after transporting the passbook in a predetermined direction, The turning roller is fixed to a part of the outer periphery of the boss with a turning member made of a material having a large coefficient of friction projecting radially from the outer peripheral surface of the boss, and the turning member of the outer peripheral surface of the boss is fixed. A locking portion is provided at a position immediately after the turning direction to lock the front end of the front cover or the inner sheet which is being turned by the turning member when the leading end of the cover or the inner sheet comes off the turning member. . According to the above configuration, the front end of the cover or the inner sheet that has come into contact with the turning member is moved in the closing direction by the rotation of the turning roller in the predetermined direction, and the cover or the inner sheet is curved. When the turning member moves upward along the circular orbit and the front end of the cover or the inner sheet falls off the turning member, the front end of the front cover or the inner sheet moves to the locking portion which moves upward along the circular orbit following the turning member. Since the lock is locked, the cover or the inner sheet is reliably flipped up. Therefore, when the passbook is conveyed for reversing the cover or the inner sheet, the flipped-up cover or the inner sheet is reversed to complete the page turning.

The engaging portion may be a concave groove formed so as to open in the axial direction with the outer peripheral surface of the boss, or may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the boss along a straight line parallel to the axis of the boss. The nail may be a linearly projected nail. In any case, the front end of the cover or the inner paper slipped from the turning member is locked by the locking portion.

Further, the passbook page turning apparatus is provided with a turning roller on one shaft, for switching a stop position in the passbook turning region, for switching the rotation direction (forward or reverse) of the shaft, for a cover or a middle sheet. In the case where the page turning direction of the passbook is configured to be changed by switching the transport direction after flipping up, the locking portion of the turning roller is provided immediately after the front or rear with respect to the turning member in the outer circumferential direction of the boss portion. Can be According to the above configuration, even when the turning roller is rotated in any direction, that is, the cover or the inner sheet is reliably turned in either the left or right direction.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an example of the turning roller, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the turning operation corresponding to FIG. 7 when the turning roller is used. The same reference numerals are used for members that are the same as or correspond to the components of the page turning device according to the previous proposal described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

The turning roller TR shown in FIG.
m and a turning member tm. The boss bm
Molded from durable metal or plastic material,
A hole h1 that penetrates the sleeve 9 is provided at the center, a groove g that opens in the radial and axial directions is formed in a part of the outer periphery, and a screw hole h2 that penetrates to the hole h1 is formed at the bottom of the groove. The turning member tm is fixed to the groove g. In order to facilitate replacement when the turning member tm is worn, the turning member tm is formed by bonding a turning rubber r to a steel sheet metal p and setting screws s from a hole provided in the center of the turning rubber and the sheet metal. And the turning member tm is fixed to the boss bm by screwing into the screw hole h2. In order to firmly fix the turning member tm to the boss bm, it is desirable to interpose a spring washer w between the head of the set screw s and the sheet metal p.

In the present invention, the locking portion e is formed immediately after the turning roller tm in the turning direction of the turning member tm of the boss bm. As in the above-described passbook page turning apparatus, when the rotation direction of the turning roller TR provided on one shaft 2a is switched to realize both left and right turning of the passbook, the turning roller is locked. The portions e are provided on both sides before and after the turning member tm along the outer periphery of the boss portion bm as in the example shown in the figure. Further, when the locking portion is formed in the shape of a groove that opens in the radial direction and the axial direction of the boss portion as in the example shown in FIG. However, in place of the groove, the locking portion may be provided with a claw projecting radially from the outer peripheral surface of the boss portion in a dot or line shape along a line parallel to the rotation axis. Of course, in this case, the distance between the tip of the claw and the center of the boss is set smaller than the maximum distance from the center of the boss bm to the surface of the turning rubber r.

With the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the passbook 100 is stopped in the predetermined turning area, and the turning roller T
When R is rotated in a predetermined direction (clockwise in the example of FIG. 2) and the turning member tm moves upward along a circular orbit, the passbook 101 in contact with the turning member returns to the binding direction. It is curved. If the leading end of the inner sheet slides down without jumping upward from the turning member tm, the leading end of the inner sheet is locked by the locking portion e immediately after the turning member tm. By the further rotation, the middle paper that has not jumped up is reliably jumped up. Therefore, there is no occurrence of center folding or jam of the inner sheet during the subsequent conveyance for reversing the inner sheet.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the locking portion is provided immediately after the turning direction of the turning member of the turning roller, the cover or the inner sheet of the passbook has a strong stiffness or the turning member is worn. For this reason, if the leading edge of the cover or the middle sheet that is being turned down slides down from the rotating turning member, it is caught immediately by the locking portion and is reliably flipped up. The pages are reliably turned without breaking or jamming.
