Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a ticket piece storage bag used in a ticket issuing device that issues ticket pieces such as coupon tickets.

When purchasing multiple tickets or multiple tickets using a ticket issuing device, the tickets are generally discharged one by one into a tray, so it takes a long time to discharge the tickets.
Furthermore, since a plurality of tickets are disposed of in a disorganized manner on the receiving tray, the purchaser has to take time to collect the tickets, which hinders the improvement of the operating efficiency of the ticket issuing device. Moreover, if the released tickets are not arranged and scattered, it is inconvenient for the purchaser to handle and store them, and there is also the problem that the tickets are easily scattered.

In order to solve these problems, a ticket issuing device has been proposed in which a plurality of ticket pieces are stored in a storage bag by a storage device and released. However, since conventional storage bags only serve to form a bag, when inserting the ticket pieces one by one, they tend to get jammed, and the ticket pieces are not properly aligned and stored. .

In view of the above-mentioned points, the object of this invention is to provide a ticket storage bag in which a predetermined number of ticket fragments are correctly aligned and reliably stored in a ticket issuing device.

In summary, this invention includes a storage bag part that stores the ticket piece with the upper end of the ticket piece exposed, and the back side of the storage bag part extends from the front surface by a length that covers at least the upper end part of the ticket piece. Moreover, it is characterized by having an opening formed on its surface.

According to this invention, it is easy to use the opening formed in the storage bag as the introduction port for the ticket feed roller for inserting the ticket, thereby ensuring that the ticket is inserted all the way to the bottom of the storage bag. This makes it possible to obtain a ticket storage bag in which a predetermined number of ticket chips are properly aligned and reliably stored without clogging. In addition, the presence or absence of the stored ticket pieces and the printed contents can be checked through the opening, and the back side, which is longer than the front side, can be used as a lid to prevent the stored ticket pieces from flying out, making it highly practical.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the ticket storage bag according to this embodiment. FIG. 1A is an external perspective view of the ticket storage bag when no ticket is stored, and FIG. It is an external perspective view showing a ticket piece storage bag. This ticket storage bag is, for example, a vertically long storage bag used for storing a coupon ticket. As shown in FIG. 1A, the front surface 1 and the back surface 2 form a rectangular storage bag portion 4 for storing a ticket 7. Storage bag part 4 is ticket 7
The opening 3 is deep enough to expose the upper end of the surface 1, and an opening 3 is formed approximately in the center of the surface 1. At a ticket storage position of the storage device, which will be described later, a ticket feed roller 8 of the storage device is arranged to face this opening 3. As shown in FIG. 1B, the back surface 2 of the storage bag portion 4 is longer than the front surface 1 by a length sufficient to cover the upper end of the stored ticket 7. In other words, Figure B
As shown in 2a, by bending the portion longer than the surface 1 in the direction of the arrow E, the stored ticket 7 can be prevented from flying out, which is useful for storing the coupon ticket. This is convenient because the purchaser can check the presence or absence of the stored tickets and the information content through the opening 3, and can take out the tickets one by one by pressing the surface of the ticket with his or her fingertips through the opening 3. Also,
A notch 5 is formed in the vicinity of the ticket insertion slot on the surface 1, and by bending the notch portion 6 outward, the stored ticket 7 can be smoothly taken out. This ticket storage bag is made of paper or the like, but may also be made of anti-magnetic material to protect the tickets.

Next, FIG. 2 shows an example of a storage device included in a ticket issuing device using the ticket storage bag according to this embodiment.

As shown in the figure, the ticket storage bags are taken out one by one from a ticket storage bag magazine (not shown) in the direction of arrow B by a feeding device (not shown),
Further, move the stopper 1 along the storage positioning guide 15.
7. The position where the ticket is placed on the stopper 17 becomes the ticket storage position. The storage positioning guide 15 consists of a vertical part that holds the storage bag part 4 vertically, and an inclined part that is obliquely inclined with respect to the vertical part and holds the upper end of the back surface 2 together with the holding guide 14. In this way, the upper end of the back surface 2 is held open and the insertion angle of the ticket into the storage bag portion 4 is large, so even if the ticket is deformed or curled, it can be inserted. Errors in ticket insertion are prevented. An insertion guide 12 for inserting a ticket is provided obliquely in a substantially half-angle direction of this ticket insertion angle. Therefore, the ticket 13 conveyed along the insertion guide 12 is
The first ticket contacts the back surface 2, and the second ticket contacts the upper end of the stored ticket 11, and is smoothly inserted.
The ticket storage bag placed on the stopper 17 is held between the ticket feed roller 8 and the tension roller 22, which are arranged to face each other. The tension roller 22 is rotatably held at one end of a lever 24 that rotates around a fulcrum 25, and a spring 23 is attached to the other end of the lever 24. This spring 2
3 and the lever 24, the tension roller 22 is biased against the ticket feed roller 8 so as to press the ticket storage bag from the back surface 2. Further, the tension roller 22 rotates with the movement of the ticket storage bag when the ticket storage bag is fed along the storage positioning guide 15, and allows the ticket storage bag to smoothly reach the stopper 17. The ticket feed roller 8 is disposed opposite to the opening 4 and rotates in the direction of arrow C by receiving a driving force from the insertion rotation roller 20 via a transmission belt 28. Insertion rotating roller 20
is driven by a motor (not shown) or the like. As mentioned above, since the ticket storage bag is pressed from the back side 2 by the tension roller 22, the ticket feeding roller 8
A part of it enters the inside through the opening 3. Therefore, the ticket 11 inserted into the storage bag portion 4 is held between the ticket feed roller 8 and the tension roller 22, and is smoothly fed into the storage bag portion 4 by the rotation of the ticket feed roller 8. reach the bottom of in this way,
The ticket storage bag according to this embodiment has a shape in which the ticket feeding roller 8 disposed opposite to the opening 3 is introduced through the opening 3, so that the ticket can be transferred to the storage bag portion 4.
The tickets are inserted securely to the bottom, and the tickets are properly aligned and stored in the storage bag part 4.

The stopper 17 is moved by the suction of the solenoid 21, and opens a passage to the ticket discharging roller section 16. That is, the ticket storage bag containing the ticket ticket falls naturally when the stopper 17 is opened, and is sent to the ticket discharging roller section 16 by the rotation of the ticket feed roller 8. Then, the ticket discharging roller section 16 discharges the ticket stored in the ticket storage bag into a tray (not shown).

The insertion guide 12 includes an insertion drive roller 20.
and opposing rollers 27 are arranged opposite to each other and form part of the ticket conveyance means. After predetermined information is printed on the ticket by a ticket issuing unit (not shown) and written by an encoding mechanism in response to a purchaser's request, the ticket is conveyed one by one in the direction of arrow A by a conveyor belt 9. be done. A flapper 10 whose direction is switched by a solenoid 19 is provided on the discharge side of the conveyor belt 9 . When discharging a single ticket, discharging a plurality of tickets, or returning the ticket, that is, when not storing the ticket in the ticket storage bag according to this embodiment, the flapper 10 is switched to the path to the ticket discharging or returning roller section 18. For multiple ticket storage, Fratupa 10
is switched to the passage to the insertion guide 12. The ticket discharging or returning roller section 18 is further guided to a ticket discharging path and a ticket returning path by switching a flapper (not shown).

As mentioned above, if the ticket storage bag of this embodiment is used, a plurality of ticket fragments such as coupon tickets can be stored reliably and in alignment without causing insertion errors or jamming of the ticket fragments. There is no downtime of the ticket issuing device due to troubleshooting when an insertion error occurs, and the operating efficiency of the ticket issuing device is greatly improved. In addition, the opening that allows the introduction of the ticket feed roller that feeds the ticket is convenient for checking the presence or absence of the stored ticket and its contents. The extended part becomes the lid of the storage bag, which is suitable for the purchaser's storage. Moreover, the storage bag can be formed into a compact size and is easy to handle for the purchaser.
