2. Description of the Related Art A device is used to sort the paper into the required number of sheets by dropping a tape cut to a predetermined length and inserting it between the sheets that are stacked up after being discharged from a printing machine. A sorting device is known that is provided with a conveying means for conveying the tape to the body, and a cutting means having a movable blade and a fixed blade for cutting the tape sent out for a predetermined length by the conveying means, and a sorting device for that purpose is known. Specific structural types include (1) one with a large opening so that the tape falls smoothly onto the printing paper after cutting the tape, and (2) a tape slide installed in the opening. (3) A method in which an elastic member is provided in the opening and the restoring force of the member causes the tape to fall from the sorting device onto the printing paper (Utility Model Application No. 1-166668).

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Among the above-mentioned products, the problem with the method (1) is that the tape gets caught between the printing paper and the cover of the sorting device, and the problem with the method (2) is that the tape gets caught between the printing paper and the cover of the sorting device. In addition to not being able to solve the problem, the height of the sorting device must be ensured in order to drop the tape, which imposes restrictions on its installation position, complicates the structure of the cover, and There are problems such as the overall size, and in the case of item (3), the elastic member may break, the tape may become unstable when ejected or dropped due to variations in its installation location or parts, and the elasticity of the tape may become unstable. The problem is that it is affected by

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional sorting apparatus as described above, to provide a sorting apparatus which can stably and smoothly drop cut tapes, and which has a compact structure. be.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides the above-mentioned conventional sorting device with:
The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a delivery means for sending out the tape cut by the fixed blade and the movable blade, and this delivery means is interlocked with the movable blade and is installed above the blade surface of the fixed blade. Further, the feeding means is formed as a part of the moving blade, and a blade portion is provided above the moving blade on the opposite side of the tape passing opening, and furthermore, tape guides are provided on both sides of the conveying section of the tape conveying means. , the upper surface of the delivery means is located below the lower surface of the tape guide adjacent thereto.

[0006]

[Operation] In this invention as described above, the tape transported between the fixed blade and the movable blade by the transport means is
As in the conventional case, the movable blade stops after passing a predetermined length between them, and when the movable blade moves and cuts it with the cutting means and returns to its original position, the blade surface of the fixed blade A delivery means installed below moves up together with the movable blade to push the cut end of the tape upward and send it out of the container.

[0007]

[Embodiment] In the embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings, 1 is a container body, 2 is a cover, and a tape 3 is wound around a support member 12 provided in the container body 1. The cover 2 is guided by guides 13 and 14 and sandwiched between a conveyance roller 4 and an auxiliary roller 5 arranged between them.
is transported outside the container body 1 through the opening 15 of the container body 1. The conveyance roller 4 has a V-shaped groove on its circumference, and the auxiliary roller 5 has a protrusion on its circumference that fits into the V-shaped groove. This shape forms creases in the tape 3 being conveyed.

A fixed blade 6 having a surface a distance a below the back surface of the tape guide 14 is installed below the tape 3 between the tape guide 14 and the cover 2, as shown in FIG. A movable blade 7 whose opposite side is in sliding contact with one side is rotatably provided on a support shaft 16 provided on the vessel body 1, and this fixed blade 6 is open at the portion through which the tape 3 passes, as shown in FIG. The blade part 8 is on the top part, and the delivery part 9 is on the bottom part.
are provided respectively, and are biased so that the opening side tends to rise by a spring 10 stretched between the container body 1 and the upper surface thereof abuts against the stopper 11 in the raised position, at which time the delivery portion 9 The top surface is positioned b below the top surface of the fixed blade 6 and c below the back surface of the tape guide 14.
It is positioned only downward.

In the above-mentioned device, the tape 3 is transported by a transport roller 4 and an auxiliary roller 5 which are rotated by driving a drive motor (not shown) for a predetermined period of time, and the leading end of the tape 3 is placed above the tape guide 14 and the fixed blade 6. After passing through the opening of the movable blade 7 and being sent out from the opening 15 of the cover 2 to the outside of the container body 1, the conveyance roller 4 stops, and the movable blade 7 resists the biasing force of the spring 10 by an actuating device (not shown). and rotates, lowering the blade part 8 and cutting the tape 3,
Thereafter, it returns to its original position by the urging force of the spring 10. 4 and 5 show the state at this time, and FIG. 4 shows the state at the time of cutting. When the movable blade 7 returns to its original position after cutting, the cutting part, that is, the rear end of the cutting tape piece 3' reaches the delivery part 9 of the movable blade 7.
It is pushed up and sent out of the container body 1.

Effects of the Invention The present invention is as described above, and includes a feeding means for feeding out a predetermined length of tape by a tape conveying means and cut by a cutting means having a movable blade and a fixed blade. The blade is linked to the movable blade and is installed above the blade surface of the fixed blade, so when the movable blade returns to its original position after cutting the tape, it pushes the cut end upwards, causing the tape to be cut and removed. The tape delivered outside the body can be dropped stably and smoothly, and has a compact structure that does not require a large installation space.
