Next, the operation of the device 1 having the above configuration will be explained.

Of the many folded passbooks P stored in the hopper 20 of the passbook delivery means 2 of this device 1, the lowest passbook P is attached to the claw 27 provided on the feed member 27 of the feed mechanism section 22.
a, and by the feeding operation of this feeding member 27, the paper is sent out from the outlet 23 to the first pair of conveying rollers 26.

Then, the sent out passbooks P are turned over by the turning means 3 by rotation of the first pair of transport rollers 26 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. The cover 10 is conveyed by the third pair of conveying rollers 32 and 34, and the cover 10 is turned over by the operation of the turning mechanism section 36 of the cover/page turning section 31. 34 and 35, it is sent to the position of the character printing head 50, and here, the passbook P
The character printing head 50 operating under the control of the head control unit 133 prints the branch name 206. as shown in FIG. A telephone number 207, bank name 208, etc. are printed.

After printing is completed, the 3rd. The fourth transport roller pair 34° 35 transports the passbook P back to the position of the cover page turning section 31,
Here, the laminate piece 12 is removed by the operation of the turning mechanism section 36.
Turn over only.

The passbook P with the laminated piece 12 turned over is transported back to the page mark detection unit 30 by the third pair of conveyance rollers 34, where the barcode 203 pre-printed on the inner paper 11 is detected by the optical reading unit 33. It is recognized that the page has been read and turned correctly.

After this, paper sheets P are transferred to the third page. Fourth conveying roller pair 34.3
5 to the character printing section 4A, where the character printing head 50 prints the name 204. Guide information 205 and the like are printed.

Furthermore, this passbook P is the third item. Fourth conveying roller pair 34.
35, the laminate piece 12 is transferred back to the position of the cover page turning unit 31, where the laminate piece 12 is turned over again, so that the laminate pieces 1 and 2 overlap with the cover page 10 side.

After this, the passbook P will be transferred to the 4th page. Fifth conveyance roller pair 35.
52, it is transferred to the secondary seal/signature printing department 4B (
.

Here, the operation of the above-mentioned cover/page turning section 36 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7(a) to (h).

For example, in the case of right-turning the cover 10, when the passbook detector 49c detects a closed passbook P, the fourth conveying roller pair 35 stops, and the passbook P also stops accordingly. This state is shown in FIG. 7(a).

Next, the rotation drive pulley 43 is rotated counterclockwise by a pulse motor (not shown), and this rotational force is transmitted to the switching arm 39 via the first degree belt 452 rotation roller 41 degree support shaft 38, This switching arm 39. The turning roller 43 and the push-up swinging lever 48 are moved to the correct turning position shown with rAJ in FIG. At this time, the push-up swing lever 48 is rotated to the left to warp the approximate center of the passbook P upward, and in this state, the pulse motor is stopped.

As a result, the rear part of the cover 10 of the passbook P is turned over by the turning roller 4.
It is pressed to 0 and becomes easy to turn over. This state is shown in Figure 7(b).
Shown below.

When the turning roller 40 is displaced to the normal turning position rAJ as described above, the pulse motor on the rotation driving roller 44 side rotates the rotation driving roller 44 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 6, and the second belt rotates 461 times. roller 42
．． By applying a rotational force in the direction of the arrow to the turning roller 43 via the third belt 47, the cover 10 of the passbook P is turned over. This state is shown in FIG. 7(c).

From this state (when the reroller 40 further rotates in the direction of the arrow), the cover 10 and the inner paper 11 bulge upward, blocking the optical path of the bulge detection section 49.The bulge detection by the bulge detection section 49 causes the pulse motor to be activated. The rotation of the control roller 40 is stopped.This state is
Shown in Figure (d). Next, the pulse motor on the rotation drive pulley 43 side is rotated clockwise to return the switching arm 39 to the neutral position and return the push-up swing lever 48 to the horizontal state. As a result, the rotational force of the turning roller 40 is no longer transmitted to the inner paper 11, and only the cover 10 rises up.

This state is shown in FIG. 7(e).

Next, the turning roller 40 is rotated counterclockwise by a pulse motor, and the bulging cover sheet is completely turned over by 1°.

This state is shown in FIG. 7(f).

Next, while rotating the turning roller 40 counterclockwise, the second turning roller 40 is rotated counterclockwise. The third conveyor roller pair 32.34 is shown in Fig. 7(g).
, and rotate it in the direction of the arrow shown in (h) to transfer the entire passbook P to the left in the figure.

As a result, the cover 10 changes from a flipped up state to a completely open state.

Above, although the normal turning operation and the turning over of the cover 1o have been described, when turning over the thin paper of the inner paper 11, the operation is mechanically exactly the same. In this case, the rotation angle θ1 of the switching arm 39 shown in FIG. 7(b) is caused to rotate shallowly by controlling the number of pulses of the Hals motor. In this way, the push-up swing lever 48 attached to the same axis of the switching arm 39
Since the amount of push-up is smaller, the amount of warping of the passbook P is also smaller, and the pressure of the turning roller 40 against the inner paper 11 of the passbook P is reduced, so the friction force for turning the paper is less, and it is lighter. You can flip it up.

Also, in the case of reverse turning operation, it is exactly the same, and the switching arm 3
This can be easily achieved by rotating the rotation angle 9 to the right side of FIG. 6 at a rotation angle of 6θ2 and also rotating the turning roller 40 clockwise.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, the turning roller 40
The driving source of the switching arm 39 is a pulse motor, and after the bulge is detected, the rotation of the turning roller 40 is stopped, and the turning roller 40 is rerotated after being surely returned to the neutral position by the pulse motor. In addition, since the rotation angle of the switching arm 39 is controlled by a pulse motor to vary between thick cover (high rigidity) and thin inner paper (low rigidity), reliable turning operation is possible regardless of the rigidity of the passbook P. It can be carried out.

Next, the operation of the secondary seal/signature printing section 4B will be explained.

Passbook P in double-page spread sent from character printing department 4A
The 6th. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9(a), the leading edge of the cover 10 is transported until it reaches the passbook stop detection unit 64 by the transport operation of the seventh pair of transport rollers 55 and 56.
It stops at this position by the detection operation of step 4.

In this position, the turning roller 66 of the laminate piece turning section 59 is rotationally driven in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 9(a).
Turn up the laminate piece 12.

From this state, the seventh conveying roller pair 56 is removed as shown in FIG.

Rotationally driven in the direction of the arrow shown in FIGS. 9(a) and (b),
Reverse transfer of passbooks P. As a result, the laminate piece 12
is automatically guided to the opening of the chucking claw 75.

Next, the chucking claw 75 is rotated to rotate the platen roller 57 while clamping the tip of the laminate piece 12 between the outer circumferential surface of the platen roller 57, so that the printing start position of the laminate piece 12 is aligned with the thermal head. 68 to a position corresponding to the head surface. At this time, the turning roller 66 is retracted to below the platen roller 57 due to the rotation of the arm 65. This state is shown in FIG. 9(c).

Next, the thermal head 68 is lowered by the operation of the thermal head mechanism section 60, and the ribbon 61 and the laminate piece 12 are
While pressing the platen roller 57, first apply yellow (Y).
) Print colors. This state is shown in Figure 9 (d) and (f).
Shown below.

When printing of yellow (Y) color is completed, the thermal head 68 rises once, and at this time, the platen roller 57 is driven in the reverse direction so that the printing start position of the laminate piece 12 reaches the position shown in FIG. 9(c) mentioned above. return. This state is shown in FIG. 9(e).

When the yellow (Y) color printing is completed and the thermal head 68 is raised, the ribbon feed section 62 feeds the ribbon 61 to the magenta (M) color. When this operation is finished,
The thermal head 68 descends again and prints the magenta (M) color over the yellow (Y) color printed on the laminate piece 12. Printing of cyan (C) color is also performed in exactly the same manner as described above.

In this way, information on the sub-seal E and the signature S made of three colors is printed on the laminate piece 12. In this case, by appropriately controlling three colors of printing, for example, the sub-seal E can be made red and the signature S black.

When the printing operation as described above is completed, the platen roller 57 is reversed, the chucking claw 57 is released, and the sixth. The conveyance operation of the seventh pair of conveyance rollers 55.degree.

Next, the action of the adhesive means 5 is shown in FIG. 10(a).
(b), FIG. 1-1, and FIG. 12 are also referred to for explanation.

For the above-mentioned sorting, first, the passbooks P with the cover 10 and the laminated piece 12 in an open state are transported through the gate 76.
It is detected by the laminate detection section 80, and thereby the 8th. The ninth conveying roller pair 81, 82 rotates in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Furthermore, the heat roller 84 rotates synchronously so that the edge portion 84a matches the binding part of the passbook P as shown in FIG. 1-0(b), and the pressure from the pressure roller 85 and the surface of the heat roller 84 are Due to heat generation, the laminate piece 12
are laminated onto the cover 10 sequentially from the stitched portion toward the end. At this time, the embossed characters 87 provided on the heat roller 84 roll into contact with the laminate piece 12, and as a result, as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 12(a) and 12(b), concave embossed letters JTOKYOJ are formed on the laminate piece 12.

By the above operation, the laminate piece 12 can be polymerized and adhered to the cover 10 without wrinkles or bubbles, and the deviation L between the end of the laminate piece 1.2 and the end of the cover 10 is not noticeable. (for example, 0.3 mm or less).

In this way, the passbook P with the laminated piece 12 laminated on the cover 10 is read by the tenth pair of transport rollers 94 of the detection unit 91 and read by the optical system 95 into the inner paper 11. Print information on the laminate piece 12 and the cover 10 = 31 - is read to detect whether the printing condition is normal or abnormal.

Furthermore, the passbook P is taken into the folding section 92 by the eleventh conveyance roller pair 100, and the passbook P is taken into the folding section 92 as shown in FIGS. 13(a) and (b).
Folding rollers 103a, 103b and pressing roller 105a as shown in FIG.

While being folded by the rotating and rotational movements of 105b, the paper reaches pressure rollers 107a and 107b, where it is completely folded with the stitched portion facing forward and sent to the sorting gate 112 of the sorting and accumulating section 93.

The classification gate 112 detects passbooks P for which the detection unit 91 is normal.
When it is determined that this is the case, the passbook P is rotated to the solid line position shown in FIG. 14 based on the signal from the detection section 91, and the passbook P at this time is sent to the normal passbook accumulation section 116a.

At this stage, the feed plate 11 interlocks with the sorting gate 112.
5 is driven in the direction of arrow X1, holding down the passbook P and lever 1
19a, 119b while pressing the end presser plate 117a.
Push it to the side.

When the passbook P exceeds the rotation range of the presser levers 119a and 119b, the presser levers 1.19a.

119b returns to the initial position, thereby preventing the passbook P once pushed in from accidentally returning to the sorting gate 11.5 side.

Thereafter, the feed plate 115 is driven back to the initial position shown in FIG. 14.

On the other hand, when the detecting section 91 determines that the passbook P is abnormal, the sorting gate 112 rotates to the position shown by the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 14 based on the signal from the detecting section 91, and P is distributed to the abnormal bankbook accumulation section 116b.

Thereafter, the feed plate 115 is driven in the X2 direction, contrary to the case described above, and performs the pushing operation of the bankbook at this time.

Through the above operations, normal passbooks P and abnormal passbooks P
Since these are stored in the storage box 110 in a clearly separated state, handling at the time of issuing a passbook is facilitated.

The present invention can be modified in various ways in addition to the embodiments described above.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention described in detail above, due to the above-described configuration, the laminate piece can be subjected to multicolor printing by the multicolor printing section without causing positional shift, and high quality multicolor printing can be performed. It is possible to provide a passbook issuing device that can automatically and efficiently issue passbooks with color printing state information attached.
