[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device for issuing a fixed-size ticket such as a ticket, a commuter pass, etc., and more particularly to a mechanism for feeding out a fixed-size ticket, which is built in the ticket issuing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a mechanism for feeding out fixed-size paper in a conventional ticket issuing apparatus. Reference numeral 1 denotes a fixed-size ticket paper (hereinafter, referred to as card paper) such as a ticket, a commuter pass, etc., 2 denotes a pressing plate for pressing the card paper 1 against the card paper 1 in order to push the card paper 1 to a feeding portion described later, and 3 denotes a pressing plate 2. A supporting shaft, 4 a thrust bearing, 5 a guide shaft for vertically moving the pressing plate 2 with respect to the card paper 1, 6 a tension spring, 7 a sheet guide surface for guiding the movement of the card paper 1 to the feeding portion, 8 is a tension spring 6
The guide roller 9 is a detachable card paper cassette incorporating these components.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a picker unit which moves in the direction of arrow A by a driving source (not shown) and feeds out the card paper 1 one by one. Reference numeral 11 denotes a support roller.
And a gate block which forms a gap through which one card paper 1 can pass (hereinafter, referred to as a gate), 13 is a support black for guiding the card paper 1 to the gate, and 14 is a clamped and conveyed card paper 1 fed out. Clamp roller, 1
5 is a feed roller, 16 is a running line of the card paper 1,
17 is a pressure roller.

[0004] The above-mentioned feeding unit is a picker unit 1.
0, a support roller 11, a gate block 12, a support block 13, a clamp roller 14, and a feed roller 15.

With the above configuration, the card paper 1 pressed against the picker unit 10 and the support roller 11 by the pressing plate 2 is fed out one by one by the operation of the picker unit 10.

FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of the picker section 10. As shown in FIG. The picker unit 10 includes a picker knife 18 that feeds out only one card paper 1 and a picker holder 19 that supports the picker knife 18.
And a stud 20 at the center of rotation, the direction of which can be finely adjusted so that the picker holder 19 is in close contact with the card paper 1. The card paper 1 has a thickness of about 0.2 mm, and the picker knife 18 is caught by this thickness, so that only one card paper 1 is fed from the picker holder 19.

[0007]

However, in the device of the above-mentioned mechanism, the card paper 1 itself is curled or the card paper 1 is put into the card paper cassette 9 in a large number, so that the sheet guide 7 and the card paper 1 Friction and picker part 1
By the friction between the picker knife 18 of 0 and the card paper 1,
The pressing force of the pressing plate 2 is weakened, and a gap is easily generated between the card paper 1 and the picker holder 19. Therefore,
Since the picker knife 18 is fed out in a very small thickness range of about 0.2 mm, the picker knife 18 is not stuck on the card paper 1 (hereinafter, referred to as an empty swing), and the picker knife 18 is poorly fed or stuck. However, there is a problem in that the hooking is so shallow that it comes off the picker knife 18 during feeding and causes a jam.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems and to provide an apparatus capable of feeding out the card paper 1 stably without affecting the state of the card paper 1.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, the pressing plate comprises a first pressing plate for pressing the rear end of the standard-sized paper sheet, and a pressing plate for pressing the leading end of the standard-sized paper sheet. And the second pressing plate is provided on the slide member,
Shafts rotatably supporting the pressing plate and the second pressing plate, and the other end of the first pressing plate and the other end of the second pressing plate respectively attached to both shafts. And a biasing member that biases the side.

[0010]

According to the above construction, even if the fixed form paper sheet is curved, both ends of the fixed form paper sheet are supported by the picker portion and the support by urging the rotatable pressing plate divided into two by the urging member. Adhere to roller. Therefore, stable feeding can be performed without being affected by the state of the fixed-size note paper.

[0011]

FIG. 1 is a drawing of a feeding mechanism of a ticket issuing apparatus as an example of the present invention, and FIGS. 2A to 2C are external views of main parts of the feeding mechanism. The drawing is shown.

Reference numeral 1 denotes card paper; 2a, a pressing plate for pressing the upper end of the card paper 1; 2b, a pressing plate for pressing the lower end of the card paper 1; 3a, a shaft that rotatably supports the pressing plate 2a; 3b, a pressing plate 2b. Shaft for rotatably supporting
Is a guide shaft for moving the pressing plates 2a and 2b perpendicular to the surface of the card paper 1, 5 is a thrust bearing as a slide member movable along the guide shaft 4, and 6 is a pressing force against the pressing plates 2a and 2b. A tension spring 7 for placing the card paper 1 and guiding the movement of the card paper 1 to the feeding portion; 8
Are guide rollers of the tension spring 6, 21a, 21
b denotes a torsion spring for applying a pressing force to the upper end of the pressing plate 2a and the lower end of the pressing plate 2b. Note that reference numerals 9 to 20 are the same as those in the above-described related art.

The card paper 1 pressed against the support roller 11 and the picker unit 10 by the pressing plate 2a and the pressing plate 2b is fed out one by one by the picker unit 10. At this time, the pressing force of the pressing plates 2a, 2b is moved to the end by the torsion springs 21a, 21b, so that the pressing plates 2a, 2b rotate around the shafts 3a, 3b. Therefore, regardless of the state of the card paper 1, the card paper 1 can be brought into close contact with the picker unit 10 and the support roller 11.

That is, the tension spring 6 normally applies a pressing force evenly to the two pressing plates 2a, 2b. For example, when the moving amount of the card paper 1 on the pressing plate 2b side is small, the pressing force is reduced. Since the pressure is concentrated on the plate 2b, the pressing plate 2a is pressed by the torsion spring 21a. When the amount of movement of the card paper 1 is the same at the upper end and the lower end, the pressing forces applied to the pressing plates 2a and 2b are balanced.

[0015]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the pressing plate for pressing the fixed form paper is divided into two, and the other end of each of the divided pressing plates opposing both ends of the fixed form paper. By urging the portion toward the fixed-size note paper side, there is an effect that stable feeding of the card paper can be performed without being affected by the curl of the fixed-size note paper and the influence between the fixed-size note paper and the sheet guide.
