Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to a received document enclosing device for keeping a received facsimile document confidential.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Devices for enclosing documents sent by facsimile so that they can be treated as confidential documents have been known for some time.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-67072 discloses that by reading an identification pattern displayed at the beginning of a received document, a confidential document is distinguished from other documents, the conveyance path is switched, and the document is placed in a prepared envelope. The items that are automatically accommodated are listed here.

On the other hand, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 58-142664 discloses a document in which confidential documents are stacked and pasted together so that the correspondence can be enclosed so that it does not come out.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional enclosing device described above, in which a confidential document is accommodated in an envelope, it is necessary to automatically open the opening of the envelope and insert the received paper. However, it requires a very complicated mechanism and has the drawback of easily causing troubles such as failure to insert the envelope into the envelope. Furthermore, since the received paper ejected from the receiver is inserted into the envelope without changing its size, a very large envelope is required and the apparatus itself becomes large.

On the other hand, in cases where the documents ejected from the receiver are stacked together and pasted together, this type of receiving paper is generally thin, so there is an inconvenience that it can be seen from the back side, and there is also the problem that the receiving paper is If they are laminated as is, they have the disadvantage that the finish is messy.

This invention solves the drawbacks of such conventional devices, and
The receiving paper is rolled up into a cylinder and sealed. Further, a second aspect of the present invention provides a device suitable for such winding.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first invention of this application provides a method for winding a receiving paper on which received contents are recorded into a cylinder shape so that the recording surface is on the inside. It is characterized by comprising a winding means and a sealing means for sealing the open end of the receiving paper in the winding state.

Further, in the second invention, two pins are attached to a shaft driven by a drive means such as a drive motor, and two pins are attached to sandwich the paper and wind the paper as the shaft rotates. In addition, the above-mentioned pin is screwed to the pedestal side via a screw portion that moves the pin in a direction to retreat from the paper.

Function: The received paper on which the received contents are recorded by the facsimile receiver is wound up into a cylinder shape by the winding means with the recorded side facing inside, so if the open end of the received paper is sealed with the sealing means, the recorded information will be removed. The surface cannot be seen from the outside,
Further, since the pin for winding up the paper is retracted by the action of the threaded portion of the shaft, it is automatically removed from the pin after winding is completed.

Embodiment In FIG. 1, (1) is a box formed in a box shape, and one end of the top surface of the box (1) is raised upward, and the top surface other than this raised portion (2) is A shelf section (4) on which a facsimile receiver (3) is placed.

A receiving paper intake opening (5) is formed in the raised portion (2), facing the ejection portion of the receiving sheet (3) placed on the shelf portion (4). A delivery belt (8) wound between a pair of rollers (6) and (7) is arranged inside the intake port (5). Additionally, an upper portion of the end of the delivery belt (8) on the side of the intake port (5) is provided with a device for determining whether or not the received paper ejected from the receiver (3) is a confidential document (secret document). Identification sensor (9) for
) are placed. On the other hand, in the lower part of the belt (8) opposite to this identification sensor (9), a document end sensor (10) is arranged for detecting the end of the received document. The roller (7) on the opposite side of the intake port (5)
A guide roller (11) is arranged at the upper part, and a receiving paper (12) is held between the roller (7) and the guide roller (11) and the receiving paper (12) is sent out. That's what I do. Further, a pair of upper and lower received paper ejection rollers (13) (13) are arranged in front of the guide roller (11) and the sending roller (7). A switching game (14) is provided between the received paper discharge roller (13) and the guide roller (11) to switch depending on whether the received paper is a confidential document or a general document. That is, when the received paper sent out by the sending belt (8) is a confidential document, this gate (14) is switched and the received paper (
12) vertically downward, while if the document is a general document, it is left as it is by the ejection roller (13) (
13), the material is discharged horizontally.

The confidential receiving paper (12) sent vertically downward by the switching gate (14) passes between a pair of guide plates (15) and descends.

At the exit portion of the above-mentioned vertical guide brake (15) (15), a pair of reversing rollers (16) (16) are arranged diagonally in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the receiving paper (12) fed downward through the vertical guide plates (15) (15) is fed forward by these reversing rollers (16) (16). ) is equipped with a pair of diagonally inclined plates (17) (1
A stock guide (18) made of
It is fed upward along its stock guide (18). The receiving paper (12) that has been completely sent out by the reversing roller (16) (16) is then placed in the ejection game (19) located below the stock guide (18).
It stops with its bottom end on top. When a series of documents consisting of one or more received sheets (12) has been deposited in this manner, they are then wound into a cylinder by the winding mechanism (20). Note that the end of a series of documents is determined by the document end detection sensor (lO).
The determination is made by measuring the time interval from when it is detected that the trailing edge of one document has passed until the next document is captured. For example, if the time interval is longer than a predetermined time, it is determined that the reception of a series of documents has ended.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the winding mechanism (20) is constructed by attaching discs (22) (22) to the ends of mutually opposing support shafts (21) (21), and The pins (23) consist of a pair of pins (23) arranged on the plate (22) (22) at intervals corresponding to the winding diameter of the receiving paper (12).
The lower end of the receiving paper (12) is inserted between the pins (23), and when the spindle (21) is rotated in this state, it is caught between the pins (23) (23). The receiving paper (12) is rolled up into a cylinder. In these figures, (24) is a driven gear attached to the above-mentioned support shaft (21), and (25) is in mesh with these driven gears (24), and is connected to the shaft (27) of the motor (26). a drive gear attached to each shaft (21);
(21) is rotationally driven by a motor (26). In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the support shaft (21) (2
1) is screwed into the female screw (29) of the frame (31) attached to the wall (28) via the male screw (30) on the side of the wall (28) into which this shaft (2I) is inserted. When the spindle (21) rotates for winding, the action of these male screws (30) and female screws (29) causes the
Support shaft (21), i.e. the aforementioned pin (23) (23)
is gradually receding.

Next, the winding operation by this winding mechanism (20) will be explained in order. As mentioned above, all of the received documents (12) (12)... are moved to the stock guide (
When the receiving paper (12) is deposited on the motor (18), the lower end of the receiving paper (12) is inserted between the pins (23) (23) as shown in FIG. 26) is activated to rotate its pin (23) (23), the receiving paper (12) is wound up into a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. When the rear end portion of the receiving paper 12) comes slightly above the pins (23) (23), that is, the winding detection sensor (38) disposed on the stock guide (18) side detects that the rear end When it is detected that the pin has passed, after a certain period of time, the label device (32) placed on the side of the pin (23) as shown in FIG.
Then, the bell paper (33) is attached to the received paper (12) which has been wound up. At this time, the received paper (12) that has been wound up is timed so that the rear end, that is, the open end, is just at the position where the label paper (33) is to be pasted. The edges will be sealed by label paper (33).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a position sensor (34) such as a limit switch is provided behind the one support shaft (21) to detect the position of the support shaft (21).
When this support shaft (21) hits the position sensor (34), the drive of the motor (26) is stopped. At this time, the receiving paper (12) is already wound up and the label paper (33)
), and the pin (23) is sealed by the action of the male screw (30) and female screw (29) of the spindle (21).
(23) is the received paper (12
) and the ejection game) (19). Then, the ejection gate (19) is rotated downward as shown in Fig. 4 by the solenoid (35) that drives the ejection gate (19), and the receiving paper (12) wound into a cylinder is moved downward. It will fall and be ejected. As shown in Fig. 8, the reception paper (12) wound up in this way has the addressee @ (36) written at the top of the first sheet exposed to the outside, and the other external parts are exposed. A background pattern (37) is recorded on the exposed part, making it impossible to see through the inside.

Further, even on the first received paper, it is possible to write the transmission contents on the part that is not exposed to the outside.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, unlike the case where the receiving paper is inserted into the envelope or sealed as it is, the entire envelope is rolled up into a cylindrical shape and sealed. This has the advantage that the receiving paper itself can be made smaller, and the entire device can also be made smaller. Moreover, it does not cause problems such as omissions when inserted into an envelope, and when it is in a cylindrical state, only the first sheet of paper located on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body cannot be seen through. It is sufficient to include a background pattern, etc., and there is no need to include a background pattern on both the first and last sheet.

Furthermore, in this invention, the winding pin is automatically retracted from the paper when winding of the paper is completed, so the operation is quick and no special driving means is required to remove the pin. , the device itself can be made smaller, and other effects can be obtained.
