Consequently, the printing means can be arranged naturally in lateral attitude.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an ID booklet creation device.

[Conventional technology]

ID cards have been in use for a long time to prove an individual's identity, but there is no point in proving an individual's identity with a photo or a description of the individual's rights.

Therefore, in order to prevent photos from being replaced and falsification of written information, a numerical lamination method has been adopted. Lamination is a method in which a transparent laminate material is adhered to the photo side or written side of the card.The laminate material firmly adheres to the image, so even if it is removed, the card side may be destroyed. Even if you paste something else on it, it will clearly be known as a forgery.

Heat-fusible adhesives such as hot melt adhesives have been used to bond these laminates.

When laminating a photo after pasting it on a card as described above, since the photo is approximately 100 microns or more thick, there is a step at the edge of the photo, which may cause the lamination to not work properly or cause it to peel off. Become. Therefore, in recent years, it has begun to be put to practical use by directly forming such photographs on laminate materials.

For example, an image is formed by imagewise exposure on a photoreceptor made of a transparent PET base coated with a photosensitive material, and an image-receiving sheet is formed by forming an image-receiving layer on one side of the transparent PET base. There is a method of directly laminating the image transferred onto the card by taking advantage of the thermoplastic nature of the image-receiving surface.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

In view of the prior art, in order to print a booklet with a printing means before laminating the booklet, in order to arrange the printing means in a reasonable manner, the present invention feeds the booklet, stops for a moment, prints, then returns and changes the direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide an ID booklet production device incorporating an effective direction changing device for conveying the ID booklet to a laminating section.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of this is to supply the booklet to the booklet printing means in an ID booklet production device equipped with a printing means for printing at a predetermined position on the ID booklet, and to send the booklet to the next image-receiving material laminating means after printing. The converting device is characterized in that a swinging roller that acts on the ID card portion of the rear half of the booklet, a transport receiver that is rotatable in forward and reverse directions that the swinging roller comes into contact with, is composed of a roller, and a booklet transport guide. This is achieved by an ID booklet creation device that does the following:

〔Example〕

First, the ID booklet will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 1, the ID booklet consists of a booklet section 2 consisting of a plurality of writable pages, and an ID card section 3 on which personal information is written.

The ID car 1 part 3 includes an individual's face photograph 4 and information 5 regarding the individual such as name, date of birth, and address.

The ID booklet outer device 10 is made of, for example, a plastic film sheet that cannot be easily damaged, and one side is the exterior of the booklet section 2 and the other is the exterior of the ID car 1 section 3.

A paper 111 is adhered to the inner surface of the outer device 10 from the ID card part to the booklet part, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 112 is adhered or coated on this paper, and an image receiving material 20 is welded to this. Ru. This image-receiving material 20 has a PVC image recording layer 122 provided on a transparent PET support 121.

Note that the image was recorded as a reverse image so that it would be a normal image with the image receiving material 20 welded to the p v C 112.

The image receiving material 20 is made as follows.

A photo of the applicant's face and text information are recorded on the photosensitive material using exposure means. As this exposure means, a laser printer or the like that makes full use of information processing technology is used.

The recorded image is transferred to the PVC layer of the image-receiving material by bringing the photosensitive material into close contact with the image-receiving material and heat-developing it. Thereafter, the photosensitive material is peeled off and discarded, and the remaining material is used as the image receiving material 20.

The mechanism for welding this image-receiving material to the booklet is that both the booklet and the image-receiving material have a PVC layer on their surfaces.
By heating and pressurizing the two in close contact, this Pv
C melts and welds together. In this way,
Since the image-bearing laminate is welded directly to the booklet, it is impossible to tamper with it by removing it, for example.

Next, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

A large number of ID booklets before being laminated are stored in the hopper 6 of the book supply means (2) with the outer device 10 facing upward. The direction is with ID car 1 part 3 to the right.

The hopper 6 has an opening at the bottom, and a suction feeding means 7 is provided to this opening. 7
descends, pulls out the booklet from the hopper 6, and inserts the right end of the ID car 1 section 3 into a pair of rollers 9 of the booklet conveying means. Then, the booklet is conveyed downward by the rotation of the pair of rollers, and the ID card 1 part 3 is inserted into the printing part of the printer 15 while being held between the pair of rollers 1O, and necessary information is printed by a control (not shown). Ru.

At this time, the booklet portion 2 of the booklet faces the swinging roller 11. When printing is finished, the booklet is returned upwards, or in synchronization with this, the swinging roller 11 moves to the left as shown by the dotted line, pushing the booklet section 2 to the left, and the receiver moves between the roller 12 and the swinging roller. At 11, the booklet part 2 is held.

Then, when the booklet attempts to move backward and rise further, the booklet portion 2 moves further to the left, but at this time, the roller 12 of the receiver is also driven counterclockwise to convey the booklet portion 2 further to the left. By this operation, the booklet ID car 1 part 3 is pulled up and returned to the branching path 16, but at this time the booklet is flat as a whole and is along the slope of the conveyance guide 17, so next, the agitation is carried out by the rollers. When the clockwise movement of 12 starts, the ID card section moves straight to the right,
It enters between rollers 13 and 14. The paper is then conveyed to the right by the clockwise rotation of the roller 13. Note that the roller 14 is spring-biased or pressed by its own weight in the direction of the roller 13 from above, and is driven by the rotation of the roller 13.

On the other hand, the image-receiving material 20, which has already completed image transfer and photosensitive material stripping, is fed from the lower entrance 18 and carried in by a pair of entrance rollers 19, but if jam information is received at this time, the transport path switching means 2OA interrupts the conveyance path and retracts the image-receiving material 20 into the tray 21 on the left. Since the evacuated image-receiving materials 20 carry valuable images, they are stored in a separate storage means in the order in which they were evacuated, and when fed again, the ID booklet is synchronized with the booklet based on the recorded data. can be completed.

Next, when there is no jam information, the image-receiving material 20 is conveyed upward and then enters the cutter part 22, where a sensor detects a positioning mark recorded on the image-receiving material 20 and stops it. Ru. When the positioning is correct, the male blade 23 of the cutter part 22 rises and engages with the female blade 24 to punch out a size that fits the ID car 1 part 3.

The cutter portion 22 is configured such that a male blade 23 and a female blade 24 are guided by a guide post fixed to a stand and are properly engaged with each other, and a spring 25 is provided between them, and a spring 25 is provided between them. The male blade 23 is rotated by the abutting eccentric cam 26.
The structure is such that it rises and falls.

When the eccentricity of the eccentric cam is at its minimum, the male blade 23 is lowered, and the image receiving material 2 is placed between the male blade 23 and the female blade 24.
It forms a space into which 0 is transported. When the eccentric cam 26 rotates and its eccentricity reaches its maximum, the male blade 23 engages with the female blade 24, and the image receiving material 20 is punched out.

In this state, the upper surface of the male blade 23 and the upper surface of the female blade 24 are configured to be approximately on the same plane, and the conveying means built into the male blade 23 operates to convey the punched image receiving material 20 to the upper right. , and sent to the alignment section 27.

On the other hand, the punched dregs of the image receiving material 20 are removed by the eccentric cam 2.
When the male blade 23 rotates further and descends, it is carried out to the right, stored in the waste receptacle 28, and discarded.

As described above, the image-receiving material 20 is fed in an appropriate size, and the booklet is also fed as described above and is synchronously controlled by a control section (not shown) so that they face each other at the alignment section 27.

In this positioning section 27, the tip of the ID card 1 part 3 of the booklet is positioned in a position that slightly protrudes from the tip of the image receiving material 20, is pressed by a pair of rollers 29, temporarily adhered, and then moved to the right. It is sent to the laminating section 30.

The laminating section 30 is constituted by a heating means and a pressing means, and the PVC is heated by the temperature-controlled heating means until the PVC is welded to each other and is pressed together, thereby completing the lamination as a unit.

However, since the extent of stretching of the image-receiving material 20 and the ID card 1 part 3 of the booklet is different, when the finished product is cooled to room temperature, an upwardly convex curl occurs, which is inconvenient for use. A section 31 is provided.

This curl correction section 31 employs a method in which the gap between the pair of upper and lower holding means 32 is formed in a downwardly convex shape, and is forcibly cooled from above by a fan 33. Since the holding means 32 can be opened in the direction of the arrow about the hinge 34,
When the cooling has been carried out for a specified period of time, the holding means 32 opens downward and the booklet falls onto the tray 35.

〔Effect of the invention〕

With this structure, the printing means can be placed horizontally and naturally at the position of the printer 15 in FIG. 3 into which the ID card 1 3 of the booklet is inserted.
