Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the structure of a card insertion slot formed in a vending machine, a card-type telephone, or the like.

[Conventional technology]

The insertion slot for cards, etc. is required to have a so-called gauge function that allows only cards of a predetermined size to be inserted, and a function to prevent mischief caused by cigarettes or the like.

In order to meet this demand, a protective panel made of a non-flammable material such as a metal plate is attached to the front surface of the resin-molded insertion port guide.

However, as shown in Figures 3a and 3b, the conventional card insertion slot has a metal block.
An insertion hole 31 for inserting a card is provided through the protective panel 30 by applying predetermined chamfering and edging, and this protective panel 30 is attached to the front surface of the resin-molded insertion port guide 1 with screws 40 or the like. It was hot.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, conventional card insertion slots require time to process and are expensive to manufacture since the protective panel is formed by processing a metal block.

In addition, because it required advanced processing technology, the defect rate was high and there were problems in terms of manufacturing.

Furthermore, since the protective panel is screwed to the front of the insertion slot guide, loosening the screws can easily cause the protective panel to float and create a gap on the back of the panel, making it difficult to insert coins through the gap and pry the panel. There was a problem that accidents often occurred due to mischief.

Furthermore, it requires mounting parts such as screws, which increases the number of parts and requires a large number of assembly steps.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed with the above points in mind.It reduces costs by reducing the number of parts in the insertion slot, and shortens manufacturing time by using a simple processing method with fewer assembly steps. The purpose is to ensure the installation of the protective panel.

[Means for solving problems]

Next, means for achieving the above object will be explained with reference to drawings corresponding to embodiments.

That is, the present invention includes an insertion port guide in which a slit-shaped insertion port is formed to guide the entrance of cards, etc., and has a gauge function and guides the cards, etc. to a conveyance path, penetrating in the front and back direction;
A structure of an insertion slot for a card, etc., comprising: a protective panel having a slit-shaped insertion slot in the middle that is attached to the front surface of the insertion slot guide and communicates with the insertion slot of the insertion slot guide in the front-rear direction; is divided into a first insertion port guide 10 and a second insertion port guide 20 using the insertion port portion as a dividing line, and a slit-shaped insertion port passes through the protective panel 30 at an intermediate portion. The entire outer periphery of the protective panel 30 is formed of a single hard, non-burnable thin metal plate formed by the This is a structure of an insertion slot for a card, etc., which is inserted into clamping grooves 14, 24 formed continuously on the entire inner circumferential surface of the protruding parts 12, 22 at the front of the card, and is clamped and fixed.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1a to 1c show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1a is an exploded perspective view showing the overall structure of the card insertion port, FIG. 1b is an assembled perspective view thereof, and FIG. 1c is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1b.

In Figures 1a to 1c, the insertion slot guide 1 that serves as a card entrance guide consists of a first insertion slot guide 10 and a second insertion slot guide 20, which are made of molded material. It is made from synthetic resin such as plastic due to its ease of use and cost.

Concave-shaped cutouts 11 and 21 are provided on the surfaces 10a and 20a corresponding to the joint portions of the first and second insertion slot guides 10 and 20 to form guide paths to the card insertion slot and the conveyance path. The protrusions 12 and 22 on the sides are provided with openings 13 and 23 for clamping and fixing the protective panel 30, and clamping grooves 14 and 24 formed at the peripheral edges of the openings.

The cutouts 11 and 21 are designed according to the size of the card to be inserted, and the corner 11 of the cutout
a, 21a are chamfered to facilitate card insertion.

Furthermore, as shown in the sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG.
4, 24 are formed.

In addition, the protective panel 30 is made of a hard, non-burnable metal thin plate to prevent mischief caused by burning a cigarette, etc., and its shape is such that it has an insertion hole that matches the size of the card to be inserted into the single plate. 31.

The peripheral portion of this insertion hole 31 is bent inward and protrudes in a rectangular shape.

Additionally, the peripheral part of the insertion slot is bent, making it easier to insert the card.

The protective panel 30 configured in this manner is held and fitted into the holding grooves 14 and 24 provided in the first and second insertion port guides 10 and 20, and
Dividing surfaces 10a and 2 of the first and second insertion port guides
When set to 0a, it is completely fixed.

Next, the second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 2a and 2.
This will be explained with reference to FIG. b.

FIG. 2a is a perspective view showing the entire structure of the coin insertion slot, and FIG. 2b is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 2a.

As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the first embodiment has a structure of a card insertion slot, whereas the second embodiment has a structure of a card insertion slot.
The embodiment has the structure of a coin insertion slot.

For this reason, in the second embodiment, the protrusions 12, 22 and the openings 13, 23 are made circular, and the opening 1
A bowl-shaped protective panel 30 is sandwiched between 3 and 23.

This makes it easier to guide the coin into the insertion slot when inserting the coin.

As shown in the first and second embodiments, the present invention only requires that the protective panel be clamped and fixed to the insertion port guide, and is limited to the shape of the insertion port guide or the shape of the protection panel. isn't it.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, according to the structure of the card insertion slot according to the present invention, the insertion slot guide having a gauge function is divided into the first insertion slot guide 10 by using the insertion slot portion as a dividing line. and second insertion port guide 20
The entire outer periphery of the protective panel 30 made of a thin metal plate is inserted into the clamping grooves 14 and 24 continuously formed on the entire inner peripheral surface of the front part of the insertion opening, and is clamped and fixed. This has the advantage that the panel 30 can be securely attached and cannot be easily removed by tampering.

Further, the insertion port portion of the insertion port guide having a gauge function is connected to the first insertion port guide 10 and the second insertion port portion.
Since the groove is formed in the divided surface of the insertion port guide 20 and is fitted together, finishing of the insertion port part becomes easy and the accuracy of the gauge function can be improved.
