  In the present invention, when the cut portion is cut, an opening is formed there, while the cut portion is attached to the opening, the engaging portion of the cut portion is engaged with the opening, and the cut portion is It is held in the opening.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
A financial institution or the like is provided with a processing system for printing on the passbooks to be processed, and a guide device for appropriately guiding the passbooks is installed on the front side of the printing device. A guide device and a lower guide device are included. Hereinafter, although individually explained in detail, it is needless to say that the idea itself of the present invention is not limited to such an object and can be applied to various molded products not mentioned.
(1) Upper guide device The upper guide device has a box-shaped case 11 and a flat rectangular plate 13 attached to the upper surface of the case, as shown in FIG. It arrange | positions so that a bottom part outer surface may become a guide surface (in FIG. 1, it is a bottom part outer surface and it is an upper surface in FIG. 2) which guides bankbooks.

  The case 11 is formed by injection molding a predetermined resin material. Inside, a reinforcing rib 15 and a boss portion 17 for mounting a rectangular plate (having a pilot hole or a screw hole if necessary) are provided. Is provided. 1 is provided with an elongated cutout 19 surrounded by four L-shaped slots for mounting an image sensor (not shown). The cut-out part 19 is integrally formed (injection molding) with the case body via a small connecting piece part 21 at the center of the four side parts.

  The rectangular plate 13 is formed of a metal plate material that can relatively easily obtain the flatness essential for maintaining the detection accuracy by an image sensor (not shown). The rectangular plate 13 corresponds to two different mounting positions of a sensor head (not shown) of an image sensor (not shown) so as to correspond to the opening 23 and the mounting holes 25 '(25'a, Two types (13a, 13b) having different positions of 25'b) are prepared. Since these openings 23 are arranged side by side, the two bosses for mounting the rectangular plate near the openings to be provided in the case 11 are obstructed when one of them is used. A case structure that exists alternatively is required.

  In the present embodiment, the boss insertion holes 25 (25a, 25b) (corresponding to the mounting holes 25 '(25'a, 25'b)) are provided in the case 11 so that the boss position can be changed easily and inexpensively. A plurality of (two in the illustrated example) are provided, and the boss itself can be cut off by using the cutout portion 19 (which can be finally removed due to the presence of the image sensor). Form (injection molding). The boss 27 has a pair of (detentive) protrusions 29 extending in the opposite direction of 180 degrees on one end side in the longitudinal direction, as shown in FIG. In order to facilitate attachment to the case 11, a truncated cone is chamfered, and a pilot hole or a screw hole (not shown) is provided on the other end surface as necessary. The two insertion holes 25 provided in the case 11 have a round through-hole portion into which the cylindrical portion of the cut boss 27 can be fitted, and a groove portion into which a pair of projecting portions 29 of the boss 27 connected thereto can be fitted. The boss 27 is selectively attached to the insertion hole 25 (FIG. 3).

  In the upper guide device having the above-described configuration, a plurality of types of cases can be easily obtained by changing the boss, so there is no need to dedicate the case, no boss molding die is required, and case injection A single molding die is basically sufficient, which is preferable in terms of manufacturing cost, and easy and quick when replacing the rectangular plate due to changes in the specifications of the processing system (when changing the mounting position of the image sensor) It is very preferable. In addition, in the solution where only the boss is separately molded with another mold, an increase in manufacturing cost (mold cost, molding cost, etc.) is unavoidable. A solution that molds different cases with the same mold each time requires complicated work and increases manufacturing costs, or a solution that manufactures and stores various cases with different boss positions requires a large inventory of unused cases. It will be held and not economical.

  Here, FIG. 4 shows an example of a more specific and practical case. In the same figure, each of A, B, C, and G is a cut-out portion formed so as to be cut off, and is configured so that a portion corresponding to a required position of the opening for the sensor head can be removed. , E is a boss that can be cut off, and is configured to be cut off and mounted in the insertion hole F when changing from its position to another position (position of the fitting hole F). This makes it possible to change the case structure very easily and quickly, such as “XX specification” when part A is removed and “XX specification” when part B is removed. Reduction, common case, etc. can be achieved.

(2) Lower Guide Device As shown in FIG. 5, the lower guide device has a case 41 similar to the box-shaped case of the upper guide device, and the bottom outer surface (upper surface in FIG. 5) of the case 41 is upward. It is arranged to face the guide surface (rectangular plate 13) of the above-mentioned upper guide device so that it becomes a guide surface that actually guides the passbooks, and the passbooks are arranged on the upper guide device (guide of the upper guide device). Surface) and the lower guiding device (guide surface thereof).

  The case 41 is made of an injection molded product of a predetermined resin material, and a bottom portion (upper surface portion in FIG. 5) has a plurality of I / O devices (not shown) for electrical access to passbooks. Corresponding numbers and shapes of openings are required, and if their positions change, the positions of the openings need to be changed accordingly. Therefore, in consideration of the change of the opening position, it may be possible to form a case in which all openings are provided at possible positions. However, it is extremely easy to cause a banknote jam or the like. Unnecessarily, a case structure in which only one opening exists for one I / O device and no other extra opening exists or is closed is required.

  In the present embodiment, the case 41 has a position corresponding to a position where each I / O device is located relatively frequently so that the opening position can be changed inexpensively and easily when the position of the I / O device is changed. The opening is provided in a definite manner, and the case can be cut off at other positions where the case can be changed. A cutout is provided. Specifically, at the injection molding stage, an elongated opening 43 on the upper left hand side in FIG. 5, a slightly larger square opening 45 in the lower side in the figure (not scheduled to be repositioned), Two small square openings 47 on both sides are formed, and on the right side of the elongated opening 43 on the upper side of the figure, three elongated cutout portions 51 that are expected to be cut in the future are provided, and two smaller opening parts are provided. On both sides of the square opening 47, two square cut portions 53 that are expected to be cut in the same manner are provided.

  For example, when a necessary one of the three elongated cutouts 51 is cut out to change the opening position and an opening is formed at that position, the existing elongated opening 43 needs to be blocked. Then, the cut-out portion 51 that has been cut out is attached and closed. The same processing is performed when changing the opening position related to the square cutout 53 on the lower left hand side or the lower right hand side.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, each of the cut-out portions 51 and 53 includes projecting portions 51a and 53a projecting on both sides, and when these are mounted on the existing openings 43 and 47, those projecting portions 51 and 53 are projected. The portions 51a and 53a are configured to be fitted into the corresponding grooves 43a and 47a of the openings 43 and 47, and in order to maintain or secure such a fitting relationship, the grooves 43a and 47a As shown in FIG. 6, a pin 47b (43b is not shown) is erected, and a hole (not shown) into which the pin (43b, 47b) can be fitted is formed in the protruding portions 51a and 53a. However, the pin and the hole can have the opposite positional relationship.

  In the lower guide device having the above-described configuration, a single mold is sufficient for forming the case, as in the case of the upper guide device, which is preferable in terms of manufacturing cost, and adapting to the cutting and opening of the cut portion. The opening position can be changed easily, so the case is not dedicated, and it can be easily and quickly handled when replacing the case due to changes in the specifications of the processing system (when changing the mounting position of each I / O device) Can be very preferable.

  In the present embodiment, the usability, work efficiency and efficiency of the guide device can be dramatically improved by the individual action or synergistic action of the lower guide device and the upper guide device described above.

  As described above, according to the present invention, there is a molded product formed in a box-shaped case that can be cut off and can be attached to the opening after being cut off. Can provide reasonable and economical equipment.
