Description

The present invention relates to an issuance unit that releases stored certificate stamps, and more particularly to an issuance unit that is configured to be able to store certificate stamps that have been released but have not been issued.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, certificate stamps have been used as documents that guarantee payment of money, etc., and an issuing unit such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used as a device for issuing certificate stamps at the counters of financial institutions. The issuing unit described in Patent Document 1 uses a special certificate stamp printed on a roll of paper. When the operator specifies the number of certificate stamps to be released, the issuing unit cuts the rolled certificate stamps to the specified number and releases them.

Certificate stamps are also used in forms other than rolls. As a type of certificate stamp that is not available in dedicated roll certificate stamps, sheet-shaped certificate stamps in which a plurality of certificate stamps are printed, for example, 100 or 50 certificate stamps, are also used. When selling certificate stamps with multiple certificate stamps printed on one sheet, a salesperson cuts the required number of certificate stamps from the sheet and issues them, and the remaining certificate stamps are kept under control and used for the next issue.

FIG. 5 shows an example of paper pieces 1a and 1b issued by the issuing unit 100. A predetermined format such as a certificate stamp, a certificate, etc. is printed on the predetermined forms 1A, 1B to form paper pieces 1a, 1b. FIG. 5 shows a predetermined form 1A including one paper piece 1a. Further, FIG. 6 shows a predetermined form 1B including 100 pieces of paper 1b. A plurality of paper pieces 1b, such as 100 sheets, 50 sheets, etc., are provided in one predetermined form 1B. The size of the predetermined forms 1A and 1B is B5 or larger. The predetermined form 1A includes, for example, a savings passbook having multiple pages.

Here, the difference in whether or not it is necessary to store the paper pieces 1a and the paper pieces 1b in the storage unit 40 after being released will be explained when issuing the paper pieces 1a and 1b. In the case of issuing one sheet of paper piece 1a in one prescribed form 1A and in the case of issuing a plurality of sheets of paper piece 1b in one prescribed form 1B, after the issuance process The necessity of storage in the storage section 40 differs. In the case of the predetermined form 1A having one paper piece 1a, the required number of paper pieces 1a is ejected from the ejection unit 30 and issued. Therefore, in the case of the predetermined form 1A in which one paper piece 1a is provided, there is usually no surplus paper piece 1a to be stored.

On the other hand, in the case of the predetermined form 1B having a plurality of paper pieces 1b, the required number of paper pieces 1b are cut out from the predetermined form 1B ejected from the ejection unit 30 and issued. Since not all of the paper pieces 1b included in the predetermined form 1B are necessarily issued, the remaining paper pieces 1b will remain. This remaining paper piece 1b is stored in the storage section 40. The paper pieces 1b stored in the storage section 40 are used the next time that type of paper piece 1b is issued.

Note that the storage unit 40 may store other paper pieces than the above-mentioned case, that is, the remaining paper pieces 1b. For example, if the paper piece 1a ejected from the ejection unit 30 is not issued for some reason, the paper piece 1a that has not been issued is stored in the storage unit 40. Further, for some reason, none of the paper pieces 1b included in the predetermined form 1B ejected from the ejection section 30 are issued, and the predetermined form 1B that is not cut out at all is stored in the storage section 40 as it is. .

Next, a method of operating the issuing unit 100 will be explained. The issuing unit 100 guides the operator through procedures for various operations such as various settings, discharging and storing paper pieces 1a and 1b. As a result, efficient issuing processing can be performed, and the pieces of paper 1a and 1b, including the remaining pieces of paper 1a and 1b, can be managed reliably. The operating method will be specifically explained below.
