Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a low-cost and high-reliable page turn-over device, by a method wherein a smoothly projected part is provided on a first guide correspondingly to an intermediate part of a page, which is to be turned over in booklets reaching a predetermined position. CONSTITUTION:A top end 1a of a page to be turned over in a passbook set on a page turn-over position is pressed down to a first guide 13 by a pressure roller 24. A part from a center 1b to a rear end 1c is set near to a second guide 12 by a projected part 20 formed on the first guide 13. A page turn-over roller 9 in contact with the passbook increases in height by being driven counterclockwise to press the rear end 1c of the passbook against the first guide 13. At this time, since the center 1b of the passbook remains as it is by the projected part 20 on the first guide 13, the passbook is warped in the shape of a bow to have an attitude for an easy passbook page turn-over. In this state, the page turn-over roller 9 is further rotated to turn over the page.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a page changing device for booklets, and more particularly to a page changing device for booklets, which is suitable for use in bankbook printers, etc., which are terminal devices for financial institutions.

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional device of this type, for example,
A device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 6173 is known.

When turning a page, this device uses a drive source to bend the push rod into an arched shape in order to make it easier to turn over the intermediate pages.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above conventional technology has the problem of high cost due to the large number of parts and the need for a drive source, as well as the problem of failures occurring when it malfunctions or does not work. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems in conventional page changing devices and to provide an inexpensive and highly reliable page changing device.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above-mentioned object of the present invention is a page changing device having a conveyance means for conveying booklets in a predetermined direction along a first guide, and a page change roller for changing pages of booklets that have reached a predetermined position. , on the first guide corresponding to the middle part of the page to be changed in the booklet that has reached the predetermined position,
This is achieved by a page changing device characterized by having a smoothly formed convex portion.

[Effect]

In the page change device according to the present invention, when changing one page, the area near the binding part of the booklet is pressed against the first guide by the conveyance roller, and the area near the rear end of the booklet is pressed against the first guide by the page change roller. Between the conveyance roller and the page change roller, the middle part of the page of the booklet to be changed is pushed up by the convex part provided on the first guide and warped in an arched manner, and is separated from the remaining pages. It becomes easy to leave.

By rotating the page change roller in this state, it becomes possible to reliably turn one page.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of a passbook printer that is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a bankbook, 2 is an inserter for inserting the bankbook 1, 3 is a pair of conveying rollers, 4 is a magnetic head for reading and writing information recorded on a magnetic stripe 30 provided on the bankbook 1, 5 is a print head which together with the carrier 6, platen 7, and print ribbon mechanism 8 forms a printing section; 9 is a passbook guide 12 and 13. sensor 2
A page changing roller, which together with No. 1 constitutes a bankbook page changing mechanism section, is shown.

The passbook 1 to be printed inserted from the inserter 2 is sucked into the apparatus by a pair of conveying rollers 3.

In order to read the information recorded on the magnetic stripe 30 provided on the cover of the passbook 1, the passbook 1 is stopped so that the magnetic stripe 30 comes to the position of the magnetic head 4. Here, after the information is read, the bankbook 1 performs necessary printing based on the information.
It is fed into the printing section.

If the required printing spans a large number of lines and needs to be printed on the next page beyond the original page, or if it is necessary to print on another page of the passbook 1, the passbook 1 is sent to the bankbook page changing mechanism section behind the printing section. The page of the bankbook 1 stopped at a predetermined position is changed by the page change roller 9 driven by the motor 22.

This situation will be explained in detail based on FIGS. 1(a) and (b). Note that the page changing roller 9 is a roller coated with relatively soft sponge-like rubber that has a small pressure change when deformed. Here, it is important that the material of the rubber itself has high frictional resistance and high wear resistance. Further, the page change roller 9 is configured such that the height (h) on the side of the page change rubber part in the state shown in FIG. 1(a) is higher than the height (S) on the opposite side. .

As described above, page changing is performed by driving the page changing roller 9 in response to a command sent from the control circuit 19 to the motor 22. That is, the leading edge 1 of the page to be changed in the passbook 1 set in the position shown in FIG. 1(a).
a is a pressure roller 24 that is part of the conveyance roller pair 3;
is pressed toward the first guide 13 side, and the portion from the center portion 1b to the rear end portion 1c is pushed toward the second guide 12 side by the convex portion 20 provided on the first guide 13. Become.

FIG. 1(b) shows the state of the bankbook 1 at the time of page change.

From the state shown in FIG. 1(a), by driving the page change roller 9 counterclockwise by the motor 22, the height of the page change roller 9 in contact with the bankbook 1 increases from the above S to h. Then, press the rear end 1c of the bankbook 1 against the first guide 13. At this time, the central part 1b of the passbook 1 remains in the position shown in FIG. is on the upper side, and the rear end 1c is on the lower side, which makes it easy to change the pages of the page I11. In this state, the page change roller 9 is further rotated to perform page change.

Thereafter, the page changing operation is completed while the bankbook 1 is ejected with all the pages of the bankbook 1 turned over.

Note that since the convex portion 20 on the first guide 13 is a continuous smooth surface on the first guide 13, the passbook 1 may collide with or get caught on this convex portion 20, causing an obstacle. There isn't.

After the above-described page changing operation is completed, the bankbook 1 is sent back to the printing section again, and desired printing is performed on a new page. Of course, the page code printed on the bankbook 1 is read and confirmed by the sensor 15 in order to check whether the page change has been properly performed before printing.

After printing is completed, the recorded information on the magnetic stripe is updated by the magnetic head 4 as necessary, and is ejected to the inserter 2 and handed over to the operator.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, the page changing mechanism for booklets can be realized with an extremely simple structure, and can be made inexpensive and highly reliable.

FIGS. 3(a) to 3(c) show detailed configuration examples of the convex portion 20 on the first guide 13 described above. FIG. 3(a) shows the most common continuous convex portion, and FIG. 3(b) shows a continuous convex portion 20a only on the main part on the first guide 13.
(c) is the convex portion 20 shown in (b).
A is divided into multiple pieces.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, there is provided a conveying means for conveying the booklets in a predetermined direction along the first guide, and a page change roller for changing the pages of the booklets that have reached a predetermined position. In the page changing device having a page changing device, a smoothly formed convex portion is provided on the first guide corresponding to the middle part of the page to be changed in the booklet that has reached the predetermined position, so it is inexpensive and reliable. This has the remarkable effect of realizing a page changing device with high performance.
