Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention relates to a booklet receiving device for receiving a booklet such as a passbook, which is used in an automatic teller machine, an automatic teller machine, etc.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, in a vertical bankbook used in an automatic teller machine or the like, the binding edge thereof coincides with the direction of insertion into the bankbook insertion slot. Therefore, the customer must open the left and right pages of the passbook horizontally and insert the passbook into the passbook insertion slot.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, such a passbook insertion operation is time-consuming, and the width of the device's insertion path must be set larger than the width of the opened passbook, which increases the size of the device. There is a problem.

This invention is a booklet receiving device that allows booklets to be inserted in a half-open state by applying a simple configuration to the booklet insertion slot, which simplifies the insertion operation and reduces the size of the device by narrowing the width of the conveyance path. The purpose is to provide

<Means for solving the problem> In order to achieve the above object, the booklet receiving device of this invention is provided with a guide roller that presses the top surface of the booklet in the booklet insertion slot so as to be movable up and down. Concave grooves that went around once were formed in several places, and the base end was fixed to the upper wall on the inside of the guide roller, and the tip was extended diagonally upward from the outside of the roller by passing through the groove from the bottom of the roller. Equipped with multiple booklet presser guides.

<Operation> When a booklet is inserted into the booklet insertion slot in a substantially half-open state, the booklet is guided by the booklet holding guide from the edges of the left and right pages, opens horizontally, and reaches the guide roller. The fully opened booklet comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller and is taken into the guide roller.

<Example> The drawing shows a vertical passbook insertion device for an automatic teller machine, which includes an upper wall 2 above a substantially horizontal receiving plate 1. A passbook insertion slot 3 is formed between the receiving plate 1 and the upper wall 2, and a booklet receiving device according to an embodiment of this invention is constructed in this passbook insertion slot 3.

This booklet receiving device has a recess 21 opened on the bankbook passage side in the upper wall 2, and a guide roller 4 is disposed in the recess 21. When the passbook is inserted, the guide roller 4 is entirely raised and retracted into the recess 21 while pressing the top surface of the passbook and rotating. This guide roller 4 has concave grooves 41, 42, 43, and 44 that go around once at several locations on the axis corresponding to both ends of the left and right pages and the center of the left and right pages of the vertical passbook.
are formed, and passbook holding guides 51, 52, 53, and 54 are inserted into each of the grooves 41 to 44, respectively. Each passbook holding guide 51, 52, 53, 54
The two elastic metal wires are inserted into the groove 41,
It is bent into a U-shape to match the width between 42 and 43 and 44, and the middle part is the mounting sides 5, 5, and the inner and outer passbooks are placed on both sides of each mounting side 5. Presser guides 51, 52 and 53, 54 are formed. Each mounting side 5 is attached and fixed to the upper wall 2 inside the guide roller 4, and both bankbook holding guides 51, 52 and 53, 54 pass the tips through the grooves 41, 42, 43, 44 from the bottom of the guide roller 4. It extends obliquely upward on the outside of the guide roller 4, and the outer bankbook holding guides 51, 54 are extended from the inner bankbook holding guides 52, 53.

In the drawing, 6 is a shutter lever that prevents the guide roller 4 from rising and stops the passbook insertion.
It is operated by an electromagnetic solenoid 61.

However, with the passbook approximately half open, the passbook insertion slot 3
When the passbook is inserted into the passbook, the passbook is sequentially guided by the passbook holding guides 51, 54, 52, and 53 from the ends of the left and right pages, opens horizontally, and reaches the guide roller 4. Then, the fully opened bankbook comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 4, is taken inside, and is carried into the conveyance path within the apparatus.

<Effects of the invention> As mentioned above, this invention provides a guide roller that presses the top surface of the booklet in the booklet insertion slot so as to be movable up and down.
Concave grooves are provided at several places on the axis of this guide roller, and the base end is fixed to the upper wall on the inside of the guide roller, and the tip is passed through the groove from the bottom of the roller to the outside of the roller. Since a plurality of upwardly extending booklet holding guides are provided, the vertical booklet is guided by the booklet holding guide and reaches the guide roller, so that it can be inserted in a half-open state, and the booklet insertion operation is further simplified. Moreover, the width of the booklet insertion slot and the passage width of the conveyance path can be reduced, and the device can be made more compact, achieving the effects of achieving the purpose of the invention.
