Charges and the like are calculated by an internal control device, and the sales data is printed out on a receipt and released to the discharge port 15.

The above-described separation device for a plurality of spelled sheets with crimps is configured inside the discharge port 15. In FIG. 1, a printer 16 composed of a dot printer is provided inside the discharge port 15, and a guide plate 19 is provided opposite to a head 17 of the printer 16 with a paper 18 being conveyed therebetween on a surface facing the head 17. The tip of the guide plate 19 is formed to be bent downward.

As shown in FIG. 2, the above-mentioned paper 18 is stapled three times (3
The sheet 18 is a continuous sheet that is folded in a zigzag manner (not shown), and the sheet 18 is provided with continuous holes 20 for conveyance at predetermined intervals on both sides thereof. This sprocket is engaged with the sprocket 21 shown in FIG.
It is transported by the rotation control of 21.

A crimp 22 is formed on one side of the sheet 18 at a predetermined interval, that is, a plurality of cuts are made between the transport holes 20 of the sheet 18, and cut pieces formed by the cuts are formed.
When the intrusion 23 enters the cutout hole of the lower sheet, resistance is applied in the separation direction of the sheet 18, and crimping is performed so that the three-sheet sheet 18 is not separated.

In FIG. 1, a separating plate 24 slightly wider than the width of the paper 18 is disposed on the inclined front end side of the guide plate 19 described above.

As shown in FIG. 2, the separation plate 24 has connecting pieces 25, 25 connected to left and right positions on the lower surface on the base end side thereof, and shafts 26,. It is pivotally attached to a member 27 forming the lower edge of the discharge port 15 so that the tip side moves down by its own weight.

Further, the leading end side of the separation plate 24 is formed in a letter shape in a plan view, and in particular, the edge of the sheet 18 on the side corresponding to the crimp 22 has a length located outside the above-described conveyance locus position of the crimp 22. And the edge is an inclined edge 28 having a receding angle α.
Is formed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the inclined edge 28 forms a receding angle β also in the thickness direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, ribs 29 are continuously provided at appropriate intervals on the upper surface of the separation plate 24, and the ribs 29 are attached to the upper surface of the separation plate 24 by moisture or the like. Is preventing that.
