Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a band-shaped register roll sheet that is incorporated into a register device and used, and in particular, in addition to the original receipt function, it also has an advertising function and a voucher function. This invention relates to a star roll sheet equipped with various functions such as a lottery drawing function, and a method for manufacturing the same.

[Conventional technology]

As this type of register roll sheet, for example, No. 9
As shown in the figure, it is composed of an appropriate core material (a) and a long strip of paper (b) wound around this core material (a), and is incorporated into a register device and used for purchase details, etc. Plain register roll paper (c) is known.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, this register roll paper (C) is composed of a plain band-shaped paper (b), so it only has the function of a receipt, and has a problem in that its scope of application is narrow.

The present invention has been made by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a register roll sheet with various functions such as advertising function, exchange ticket, comb pull function, etc. in addition to the original receipt function. and its manufacturing method.

[Failure to solve the problem]

That is, the invention according to claim 1 is based on a belt-shaped register roll sheet that is removably incorporated into a register device, and at least one surface of this register roll sheet is provided with characters, figures,
It is characterized in that image information such as symbols is formed in advance.

In the invention according to claim 1, the image information formed in advance may be, for example, katakana, kanji,
Character information such as numbers, geometric figure information, trade names, emblems,
Symbol information such as a bar code, or a combination of these information is arbitrary.

That is, in order to provide this register roll sheet with an advertising function, it is sufficient to appropriately form advertising information such as product name, company name, etc. on at least one side of the sheet at appropriate intervals, and also to provide exchange coupons, etc. to this register roll sheet. In order to provide a function such as a lottery drawing function, consecutive numbers may be attached at appropriate intervals or winning symbols may be formed. In addition, considering the receipt function of the register roll sheet, usually
Of course, the image information may be formed on the back side of the sheet, or may be formed on the front side or both the front and back sides of the register roll sheet depending on the use.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 relates to a method suitable for manufacturing the register roll sheet according to claim 1.

In other words, printing on long roll-shaped sheets is usually done using a rotary printing press, but when printing the above-mentioned register roll sheet using this rotary printing press, the intervals between each piece of image information are widened ( For example, as the diameter of the printing plate becomes larger (for example, several tens of meters), there is a disadvantage that a printing plate with a larger diameter is required, and there are also disadvantages of being subject to various restrictions when assigning consecutive numbers.

The invention according to claim 2 has been completed from this point of view, and is based on the method for manufacturing a register roll sheet according to claim 1, and includes the following: A plateless printer that operates based on output signals from the printer prints image information such as characters, figures, symbols, etc., and this printed strip sheet is tightly wound by a notebook winder. This method is characterized in that the band-shaped notebook is cut into small widths as appropriate.

In the invention according to claim 2, the plateless printer may be a dot printer that operates based on an output signal from a computer, such as a dot printer that uses heat-sensitive or pressure-sensitive ribbon, an ink sheet printer that uses liquid ink, or an electronic photosensitive printer. A laser printer or the like that uses the body can be applied. In addition, when inputting image information such as figures and symbols, use an image scanner or commercially available software's graphic image software.
It is possible to apply data etc. Further, the reason why the printed notebook band is tightly wound is that if it is wound loosely, the cutting accuracy will deteriorate when the notebook band is appropriately cut into small widths in the next step.

Further, the invention according to claim 3 provides that when a register roll sheet is manufactured based on the invention according to claim 2, if strong tension is applied to the belt-shaped sheet passing through the casual clothing printer, both sides of the belt-shaped notebook will be damaged. This problem was solved by preventing the generation of the strong tension, since the provided sprocket holes would be damaged, making normal sheet conveyance and printer operation difficult.

In other words, the invention according to claim 3 is based on the method for manufacturing a register roll sheet according to claim 2, and provides the following steps: Sensors are arranged, and these optical sensors measure the degree of deflection of the strip-shaped sheet supplied from the roll-shaped sheet feeder to the casual clothing printer, and the deflection of the strip-shaped sheet discharged from the casual clothing printer to the sheet winding machine. At the same time, the drive timings of the roll sheet feeder and the sheet winder, which are driven intermittently, are controlled based on the detection signals to maintain the degree of deflection of the belt-shaped sheet at a substantially constant level. The feature is that strong tension is not applied to the seat.

In the invention according to claim 3, the optical sensor disposed between the roll-shaped notebook supply machine and the plateless printer is composed of a light emitting device and a light receiver, and the optical sensor is arranged between a roll-shaped sheet supply machine and a plateless printer. If the degree of deflection of the sheet is large, the deflection of the strip-shaped sheet blocks the light incident on the light receiver, and this OFF signal is input to the drive system of the rolled sheet feeder to feed the strip-shaped sheet. On the other hand, as the conveyance of the belt-shaped sheet in the casual clothes printer progresses and the degree of deflection of the belt-shaped sheet decreases, the light is no longer obstructed by the bending part of the belt-shaped sheet, and the light incident on the light receiver becomes O.
The N state is reached, and the roll sheet feeder is controlled to be driven intermittently based on this ON signal to feed a fixed amount of strip sheets.

In addition, the optical sensor placed between the casual clothing printer and the sheet winding machine that is driven intermittently is also composed of a light emitter and a light receiver. The light incident on the light receiver is turned on without being blocked by the bending part of the sheet, and this ON signal is input to the drive system of the sheet winding machine to stop the winding of the sheet winder. As the ejection of the strip sheet from the printing plate 1 continues and the degree of deflection of the strip sheet increases, it is blocked by the bending part of the strip notebook and the light incident on the receiver becomes OFF, and the sheet winding is started based on this leaf F signal. The take-up machine is controlled by an appropriate control means so as to be driven intermittently to wind up a fixed amount of the belt-shaped sheet.

Since the belt-shaped notebook is always held in a bent state by these control mechanisms, strong tension is not applied to the belt-shaped sheet passing through the casual clothes printer.

[Effect]

According to the invention according to claim 1, image information such as characters, figures, symbols, etc. are formed in advance on at least one side of the register roll sheet at appropriate intervals, so that the register roll sheet has the function of not only the original receipt function but also the original receipt function. On the other hand, according to the invention according to claim 2, it is possible to provide various functions such as an advertising function, and on the other hand, according to the invention according to claim 2, one side of a wide strip or sheet fed from a rolled sheet feeding machine is fed based on an output signal from a computer. Since image information such as letters, figures, and symbols are printed by a casual printer that operates on the machine, it is possible to form image information at arbitrary intervals, and it is also possible to easily form image information with consecutive numbers. .

Further, according to the invention according to claim 3, optical sensors are arranged between the rolled sheet supply machine and the plateless printer, and between the casual clothes printer and the notebook winding machine, and the optical sensors are used to roll the roll. The roll-shaped sheet is intermittently driven while detecting the degree of deflection of the belt-shaped sheet supplied from the rough-clothes printer to the rough-clothes printer and the deflection of the belt-like sheet discharged from the rough-clothes printer to the sheet winder. The driving timing of the feeding machine and the notebook winding machine is controlled based on the above detection signal to maintain the degree of deflection of the belt-shaped sheet at a substantially constant level so that strong tension is not applied to the belt-shaped sheet passing through the side plate printer. , The sootholes provided on both sides of the belt-shaped sheet may be damaged (this will allow the belt-shaped sheet to be transported normally and the printer to be operated.
