[0011]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an embodiment of a prepaid card shredder according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the basic configuration of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of the names and functions of respective parts, and further FIG. An enlarged view of the operation panel section is shown in FIG.

(Configuration) In FIGS. 1 to 3, a prepaid card shredder 1 of the present embodiment includes a shredder body 2, a card dispenser 3, and a chip storage frame 4.

The shredder main body 2 has a substantially rectangular box shape and incorporates an electric motor drive mechanism (not shown) of the above-mentioned one-cross press chip cutting cutter for obtaining a required shred size.

If a plurality of prepaid cards are randomly supplied to the shredder main body 2 in a manner similar to that of a conventional paper shredder, it becomes difficult to obtain a required shredded size and a large amount of power is required. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the card dispenser 3 prevents the pre-paid cards from being overlaid by a plurality of cards. (See Fig. 2).

The chip (shredded) storage frame 4 has a door 6a, a chip basket 6 inside, and four caster wheels 7 for transportation at the bottom. The two wheels have stoppers. Reference numeral 8 indicates a pair of handles for transportation and movement, and 9 indicates a power plug.

Each prepaid card to be discarded is inserted into the card cassette case 5 capable of accommodating, for example, about 1000 cards, from the case insertion port 5a of the card dispenser 3 in a state where the prepaid cards are stacked one by one on the front / back / front and back. Then, it is supplied from the bottom of the case 5 to the shredder main body 2 for the lowest sheet.

A power switch 10 and an operating portion 11 are provided on the outer upper surface of the shredder body 2. The operation unit 11 has a display unit 11A and an operation key unit 11B. The display unit 11A has a power ON / OFF display 11a, an overflow display 11b of the tip basket 6, an open / close display 11c of the door 6a, and a standby display 11a. Each of the operation keys 11B is provided with a start / off key 11f / 11g for shredding operation.

(Operating Procedure) Next, an operating procedure in the above embodiment will be described: First, a used prepaid card is inserted into the card cassette case 5 to have a predetermined capacity. At this time, even if the front and back of the stacked cards and the front and back are the same as described above, it does not matter. After turning on the power switch 10, the cassette case 5 is inserted / installed in the case insertion opening 5a of the card dispenser 3, and the shredable display lamp 11e on the display panel 11A of the operation unit 11 on the shredder body 2 is inserted. Check the lighting. Even if the cassette case 5 is attached to the card dispenser 3, the lamp 11e is not turned on when the prepaid card is not inserted.

Next, when the start key 11f on the operation key unit 11B is pressed, the lowest card is supplied from the card dispenser 3 to the shredder main body 2 one by one, and the cutter is rotated to a predetermined card. Shred. When the safety device (overheat prevention device) of the drive motor is activated during this shredding work, the standby display lamp 11d of the display unit 11A displays "Please wait" and the motor automatically stops. When the motor temperature drops to a predetermined temperature value, the indicator lamp 11d is turned off and the motor is automatically restarted to continue the shredding operation.

It should be noted that during this operation, other displays such as the overflow 11b and the door opening / closing confirmation 11c need not be particularly described.

Other Embodiments The detailed configurations of the embodiments of the prepaid card shredder are not necessarily limited to the illustrated examples, and other various modifications according to the object of the present invention. It goes without saying that it does not matter if the implementation mode is adopted.
