DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention relates to a bankbook as a recording medium and a transaction medium, such as an automatic teller machine, which is used for a bank account. The present invention relates to a passbook cover closing device that is built in a passbook processor that prints predetermined items.

(B) Conventional technology In the passbook processing machine described above, when it is necessary to perform printing processing on each of the inner sheet and the cover of the passbook, conventionally, the passbook is sent to the printing section with the passbook open, and either the inner sheet or the cover First, after printing, the opened passbook is evacuated from the original passage to another passage, and then returned so that the passbook opened to the original passage is turned upside down, and sent again to the printing section. A method of printing on the other side is adopted.

In other words, according to the conventional method, the passbook is processed in an open state, and the face to be printed is turned upside down to correspond to the printing section. There is a problem that a complicated flapper mechanism for completely switching the passbook moving path in three directions for the upside down process and a long reversing path for turning upside down with the passbook open are required.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In view of the above points, the present invention makes it possible to automatically make the cover correspond to the printing unit by closing the passbook once opened after printing on the inner sheet, so that the top and bottom of the passbook It is intended to provide a passbook cover closing device that does not need to be turned over.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, a passbook draw-in portion is communicated with a passbook transport passage from the front side of a passbook conveyed by opening a middle sheet in the passage, and the passbook sandwiching the communication portion is provided. A passbook cover in which first and second pairs of conveying rollers are separately arranged on both sides of a conveying path, a flapper for opening and closing an entrance of a passbook retrieving unit is provided, and a third pair of conveying rollers is disposed in the passbook retrieving unit. In the closing device, the first and second transport rollers are rotationally driven in opposite directions in response to the binding of the passbook conveyed through the passbook transport path reaching the entrance of the passbook retraction unit, thereby binding the passbook. The present invention is characterized in that the passbook cover closing device is provided with a control means for performing a control for executing a control for closing the cover of the passbook by conveying the passbook from the eye portion to the passbook retrieving section.

(E) Function According to the present invention, the passbook which has been subjected to the printing process on the inner sheet in the printing unit is sent to the passbook transport device in a state where the passbook is kept open, and the passbook binding portion comes to the entrance of the passbook retraction unit. By rotating the first and second transport roller pairs in opposite directions, the passbook enters the passbook draw-in section from its binding portion, and is further retracted by the third transport roller pair. The passbook is closed. Then, by driving the third pair of conveying rollers in the reverse direction, the closed passbook is sent out to the passbook conveying path, whereby the cover is automatically made to correspond to the printing section, and the printing process can be performed on the cover.

(F) Effects of the Invention Therefore, compared with the conventional mechanism for turning the bankbook upside down with the bankbook open, a shorter bankbook draw-in section and three transport roller pairs,
With a simple and compact mechanism composed of one flapper, it is possible to perform printing processing on both the inner sheet and the cover of the passbook.

Further, compared to the case where the page turning device turns over each of the inner sheets and closes the passbook cover, a plurality of the inner sheets are stapled all at once, thereby simplifying the processing and shortening the processing time.

(G) Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the passbook closing mechanism shown in FIG.
Is connected to a printing unit (not shown), and a passbook draw-in unit 2 is communicated from the lower part in the middle thereof. Reference numerals 3, 4, 5, and 6 denote guide plates that regulate the passbook transport passage 1 and the passbook retraction unit 2.

First and second pairs of rollers 7, 8 for pinching and transporting the passbook A to be sent through the passage 1 are arranged on the left and right sides of the communication section between the passbook transport path 1 and the passbook retracting section 2. A third transport roller pair 9 is disposed at the inner side.

Each of the transport roller pairs 7, 8, 9 can be driven forward and reverse, and at the same time, each is independently driven.

 A flapper 11 is provided at the entrance 10 of the passbook entry unit 2.

If this flapper 11 has a printing section on the left side of the figure,
It rotates vertically with the opposite position as a fulcrum 12, and normally closes the entrance 10 to cut off communication between the passbook transport passage 1 and the passbook draw-in section 2. Note that the printing direction for the passbook A is from the top in this embodiment.

The passbook transport path 1 is provided with a sensor S1 for detecting that the passbook A has reached the passbook closing mechanism.
Is provided with a sensor S2 for detecting the passbook A drawn into the section.

FIG. 2 shows a control circuit of the passbook closing mechanism.
Based on the input from each of the sensors S1 and S2 described above, the flapper drive circuit 15, the roller pair drive circuit 16, and the print unit 17 are drive-controlled in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 14, and
The required data is stored in the RAM 18.

The operation of the passbook closing mechanism having the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the operation explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 3A to 3C and the flowchart of FIG.

In the printing unit 17, first, the passbook A, which has been subjected to the printing process on the inner sheet, is fed to the right in the passbook transport path 1 while being opened (step n1). At this time, the flapper 11 is located at the entrance 10
Is in the closed position. Further, it is assumed that the opened passbook A is conveyed with the front cover facing down and the middle paper facing up.

When the passbook binding a of the passbook A which is fed rightward reaches the entrance 10 of the passbook draw-in unit 2 as shown in FIG. 3A, the sensor S1 detects this and detects the first and second pairs of transport rollers 7,8. Is stopped, and the passbook A is positioned (step n2).

Next, the flapper 11 rotates downward to allow the passbook transport path 1 and the passbook retraction unit 2 to communicate with each other (step n3).

The first transport roller pair 7 pulls the bankbook A rightward, the second transport roller pair 8 reverses the bankbook A leftward, and the third transport roller pair 9 pulls the bankbook A. (Step n4).

Therefore, the passbook A receives the forces in the different feed directions of the first and second transport roller pairs 7, 8 from both sides, and enters the passbook retraction unit 2 from the binding a side as shown in FIG. Transport roller 9
3 and completely retracted into the interior and closed as shown in FIG.

When the bankbook A is completely closed and pulled in, it is detected by the sensor S2.
Is detected, and the rotation of each transport roller pair 7, 8, 9 is stopped (step n5).

Next, the flapper 11 is pivoted upward as shown in FIG. 3C to communicate the entrance 10 of the passbook retraction unit 2 with the portion of the passbook transport path 1 especially on the printing unit side (step n6).

Then, the first transport roller pair 7 is rotated in a direction of feeding the book A to the left, and the third transport roller 9 is rotated in a direction of feeding the book A back to the book transport path 1 (step
n7).

As a result, the passbook A is closed and the passbook transport path 1 is closed.
Then, the sheet is sent to the left toward the printing unit, and when closed, the cover that appears on the upper surface is subjected to printing processing.

As described above, when the passbook A is closed from the open state, the passbook A is sent back to the printing unit 17, and the cover is positioned corresponding to the printing unit. As a result, printing processing can be performed on the cover. It can be manufactured with a simple structure using the small passbook draw-in section 2 in which the closing mechanism only needs to pull in the closed passbook A, the first to third transport roller pairs 7, 8, 9 and one flapper 11.
