DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wristband automatic payment machine, and more particularly, to maintenance of various components from both a front door side and a rear door side, as well as when inputting a password of a credit card or a debit card. The present invention relates to a wristband automatic payment machine capable of ensuring sufficient security.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a conventional automatic wristband adjusting machine, an apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei. FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a facility usage fee payment system to which a conventional wristband automatic payment machine is applied, FIG. 10 is a plan view showing a conventional wristband payment apparatus, and FIG. It is a sectional side view which shows a part typically.

[0003] As shown in FIG. 9, a user 201 of a facility 206 first purchases an admission card 203 at an admission card vending machine 202, and a wristband lending gate 204.
Is lent a wristband 205. As shown in FIG. 10, the wristband 205 has a bar code 205a.
And a key for opening and closing the lending locker.

The user 2 who has finished using the utilization facilities 206
01 indicates that the wrist band 205 is to be
8 to settle the account, obtain exit card 209A, and return card 211A at exit gate 210A.
Get. Wristband lending gate 204, equipment used 2
06, the wristband settlement machine 208 is integratedly managed by the workstation 207, and analyzes and stores the usage status of the user 201 and the like.

Next, the configuration of the wristband settlement machine 208 used in the above system will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the front door wristband slot 20
9 is loaded by the wristband loading mechanism 210 and the wristband 205
The bar code information can be read by 11. And
The wristband 205 is put on hold in the temporary holding unit 212 and is returned to the wristband exit 213 when it is returned, and is sorted to the collection box 214 when it is collected.

In order to perform the above-described settlement procedure, the wristband settlement machine 208 includes, for example, a coin hopper that stores change coins and pays out the coins when necessary, a bill identification device for identifying paid bills, and a receipt after settlement. , And an exit card issuing unit that issues an exit card after settlement, and these are fixed to a shelf plate or the like in the housing.

Therefore, when performing maintenance work on these devices and the wristband capturing mechanism 210, in order not to hinder the use of the user 201,
Outside the business hours of the utilization facility 206, the front door of the housing was opened.
