〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 10 to 15.

FIG. 1 is a rear view of the main parts of an embodiment of the present invention, and in the figure, 27 is a printing unit.

Reference numeral 32 is provided between the statement discharge port of the printing unit 27 and one side of the receipt guide 31, and is used to record the statement 3 that is vertically fed from the statement discharge port.
Take-in rollers 28 and 29 that pinch and feed 0
is the statement slip 30 sent by this intake roller 32.
Place the receipt guide 31 so that the printed side is on the bottom.
This is a guide plate that guides along the upper surface of the banknote in a direction perpendicular to the banknote feeding direction, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 33 denotes a take-in pulley coaxially provided adjacent to one side of the take-in roller 32; 34 extends approximately horizontally from the take-in pulley 33 to the other end of the receipt guide 31; The belt is stretched around the intake pulley 33 and pulleys 35 and 36 so as to form a substantially L-shape that bends downward.

37 is a reversing pulley placed on the receipt guide 31 on the slip reversing end side; 38 and 39 are pulleys placed between the receipt guide 31 and the belt 34; 40 is a pulley placed opposite the take-in pulley 33; Reference numeral 41 denotes an inscribed belt 42 stretched around the reversing pulley 37 and pulleys 38, 39, and 40 so as to be inscribed in the receipt guide 31 and the belt 34;
is a reversing guide plate placed beside the reversing pulley 37 portion of the internal belt 41.

A sliding member 43 is attached to the receipt guide 31 by adhesive or the like, and is made of a slippery material such as synthetic resin.

A pair of sensors 44 are provided near the inverted end of the statement slip on the receipt guide 31, and serve to confirm the receipt of the statement slip 30 and serve as a starting point for the statement slip 30 to stop at a designated position, that is, to control the statement slip 60. It serves as a detection signal output means for detecting and stopping after conveying a specified number of pulses.

The purpose of attaching the sliding member 43 to the receipt guide 31 is first to stabilize the conveyance when the statement slip 30 is conveyed by the clamping force between the internal belt 41 and the receipt guide 31. This is the friction coefficient μ ₁ between the internal belt 41 and the statement slip 30, and the friction coefficient μ ₂ between the receipt guide 31 and the statement slip 30.
This is because the larger the friction coefficient μ ₂ is made, the more stable the statement sheet 30 can be conveyed even with a small driving force.

Second, this is to reduce wear on the internal belt 41. This is because the statement slip 30 can be conveyed even if the clamping force between the inscribed belt 41 and the receipt guide 31 is small, so that when the receipt guide 31 directly contacts the inscribed belt 41 while waiting or taking in the statement slip 30, Internal belt 4 with reduced friction
This is because the wear of No. 1 can be reduced.

Thirdly, since only the part where the sliding member 43 is attached is in a protruding state, the statement slip 30 is curled to create a stiffness of the statement slip 30 in the conveying direction, thereby stabilizing the conveyance. .

The material of the outer surface of the intake roller 32 is urethane rubber or the like.

FIG. 10 is a schematic side view of the clamp section illustrating how the statement slip 30 and banknotes 45 are stacked;
The drawing is a plan view of the receipt guide section, and as shown in FIG. Notches 47, 47a are formed so as to protrude and not obstruct the vertical movement of the upper feed belt, which will be described later, and the side of the pressing part 46a on the side where the statement slip 30 is carried in is cut diagonally. This prevents the statement slip 30 from getting caught on the pressing portion 46a.

Furthermore, a bracket 48 is integrally welded to one side of the receipt guide 31 as shown in FIG. is biased downward. Further, the receipt guide 31 is urged upward by the force of a spring 51, which is a second urging means, and one end of the generally T-shaped push-up lever 50 is locked at the central end.

Here, the bracket 48 by the spring 49
Assuming that P ₁ is the pulling force of the bracket 48 and P ₂ is the force of pushing the bracket 48 up by the spring 51, the clamping force P between the internal belt 41 and the receipt guide 31 has a relationship of P=P ₁ -P ₂ .

Next, to explain the structure of the mechanism that clamps and conveys the statement slip 30 and banknotes 45 located at the upper and lower positions of the receipt guide 31, the push-up lever 50 is
is fixed with a pin 53 to the drive lever link 5.
4 is fixed to the shaft 52, and a pin 56 is attached to the cam 55.

The cam 55 rotates in the direction of arrow c in FIG. 10, and the pin 56 pushes down the drive lever 54 from the solid line in FIG. 10 to the two-dot chain line in FIG.
At this time, since the drive lever 54 and the push-up lever 50 are fixed coaxially, the push-up lever 50
rotates from the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 10 to the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

In this case, banknotes 45 are placed on the lower feed belt 59.
When the banknotes 45 are not stacked, the receipt guide 31 follows the push-up lever 50 and is lowered onto the feed belt 59 by the force of the spring 49, and the banknotes 45 are stacked on the feed belt 59 by the stacking wheel 57. At this time, the receipt guide 31 presses the banknote 45 and moves downward until it stops.

When the cam 55 returns to its original position, the force of the spring 51 overcomes the force of the spring 41, and the lever 50 is pushed up.
This causes the receipt guide 31 to rise.

In this manner, the receipt guide 31 is lowered by the rotational action of the pin 56 of the cam 55 and the force of the spring 49, and raised by the force of the spring 51.

FIG. 12 is a side view of the clamp section showing a state in which the feed belts 58 and 59 are open, and FIG. 13 is a side view of the clamp section showing a state in which the feed belts 58 and 59 are closed.

It is connected to the clamp link 62 by a letter-shaped bracket 67. That is, the clamp link 62 is connected to the support shaft 6.
4, the link 65 follows and the bracket 67 moves up and down. Pulleys 70 and 7 are attached to the shafts 68 and 69 passing through the bracket 67.
1, and the feed belt 58 is stretched around the pulleys 70 and 71.

On the other hand, a cam roller 73 attached to the lower clamp lever A72 is pressed onto the cam 55 by the force of a spring 74. Further, the lower clamp lever A72 is connected to a shaft 76 by a pin 75.
, and further attach the lower clamp lever B to the shaft 76.
77 is fixed, and the lower clamp lever B77 also rotates following the movement of the lower clamp lever A72. When the lower clamp lever B77 rotates, the lower guide arm 78 rotates about the shaft 80 because the post 79 attached to the lower guide arm 78 is inserted into the slotted portion of the lower clamp lever B77. Pulleys 81, 82, 83, and 84 are attached to the lower guide arm 78, and a belt 59 is stretched.

In the above mechanism, when the cam 55 is in the state shown in FIG. When the feed belts 58 and 59 are open, the feed belts 58 and 59 are open.

Furthermore, when the cam 55 is in the state shown in FIG.
That is, when the cam roller 61 is located near the center of rotation of the cam 55 and the cam roller 73 is located far from the center of rotation, the feed belts 58 and 59 are closed and in a clamped state.
