[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a card issuing and collecting apparatus, collection of a collection card using the same card issuing port and transport route as that of a ticket issuing card is performed by issuing a card at a ticket issuing card supply section and a card issuing and drawing-in port. A collection card storage section is provided between the draw-in sections, and a route switching means operated by an electronically controlled solenoid is provided above the collection card storage section.

[0003]

The prior art described above is
A sensor for detecting the withdrawal of the collection card, control means for operating the solenoid in response to a detection signal from the sensor, and a component configuration and mounting work of the solenoid are required, which has a problem that the cost of the apparatus is increased. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has as its object to provide a sending and collecting apparatus such as a card having a sending and collecting mechanism for realizing a great cost reduction, and a card. A ticket collection device is provided.

The foregoing and other novel features of the invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the drawings are merely for explanation and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is directed to a transport system in which a delivery member and a collection member such as a plate member, a card member, a sheet member and a paper member are delivered and collected. Route, provided with the head protruding from the transport route, and is always urged toward the delivery transport side such that the head is pushed down by the delivery transport member by a spring function, a weight function, or the like so that it can fall or sink. And, the transport member progress regulating body provided so as not to fall on the delivery transport side, the delivery transport member which is provided in proximity to the transport route and hits the upper part of the member travel regulating body and tries to pass through the transport member. A transport member advancement control section comprising a transport member holding means for holding the card on the transport route constitutes a delivery and collection mechanism for cards and the like. In the transport member advancement restricting section, the delivered transport member that has been delivered and transported hits the head of the transport member advancement restrictor and pushes down or sunk the transport member advancement restrictor and directly moves on the transport member advancement restrictor. The transport member advance regulating body which is sent forward and sunk down returns its head to a portion which closes the transport route by the urging force, and the collected transport member to be collected and transported hits the transport member advance regulating body. The conveyance member progressing restricting body which does not fall is guided to a collection unit or the like.

The present invention is also directed to a card issuance and recovery port which doubles as a ticket issuance port for a ticket issuance card and a collection and recovery port for a collection card, and a collection card which is transmitted to the card issuance and is inserted into the card issuance and collection port. A card sending-in and pulling-in unit, a ticket issuing card supply unit that supplies a ticket issuing card to the card sending-in / drawing-in unit, and a card sending-in / drawing-in unit provided between the ticket issuing card supply unit and the card sending-in / drawing-in unit. A collection card collection unit that collects collection cards that are drawn in and sent toward the ticket issuing card supply unit side, and a transport route through which the ticket issuing card sent from the ticket issuing card supply unit is transported toward the card sending and receiving unit. The card sending / retracting is always provided on the ticket issuing card supply unit side by a spring function, a weight function, or the like, which is provided with a head protruding from the transport route. When the head is pushed by the ticketing card, the card is biased so that it can fall down or sink down, and the card progress regulating body is provided so that it cannot fall down on the ticketing card supply unit side, and is close to the transport route. Provided,
The card ticketing and collecting unit is configured by a card ticketing control unit including card holding means for holding the ticketing card that hits the upper part of the card progressing member and tries to pass on the transport route. In the card progress regulating unit, the ticket issuing card sent from the ticket issuing card supply unit hits the head of the card progress regulating body and pushes down or sinks the card progress regulating body and proceeds on the card progress regulating body as it is. The card advance restricting body which is conveyed to the card sending and retracting part, and which is sunk down, returns its head to a part which closes the conveying route by the urging force, and is inserted from the card ticket collection port and inserted into the card sending and drawing part. The collection card which is drawn in and conveyed to the collection card collection section is guided by the collection card collection section side by the card progress restriction body which does not fall down even after hitting the card progress restriction body, and is collected by the collection card collection section. . It goes without saying that the shape, material, mounting method, combination with the spring material, and the like of the card progress regulating body have various forms and configurations.
