[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the conventional passbook loading mechanism, since the passbook is forgotten and stored in the passbook loading unit in the spread state, it is necessary to secure at least the space for the passbook loading unit in the passbook loading unit. Although it is not used frequently, it occupies a large space, which hinders downsizing of the passbook handling device.

The present invention provides a passbook loading mechanism for loading a passbook that has been forgotten to be closed, and aims at downsizing a passbook handling apparatus.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the passbook loading unit of the present invention has a holding unit for holding the leading end of the carried passbook and an abutting unit for abutting the passbook surface on the leading end side. It is equipped with a passbook closing means that rotates the passbook surface in the direction to close the stitch with the conveyance force of the passbook centering on the rotation fulcrum provided on the opposite side of the passbook receiving box with the extension part of the is there.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the passbook closing means of the passbook loading mechanism configured as described above, when the holding part holds the leading end of the passbook, the holding part starts to rotate by the conveying force through the passbook and the contact part contacts the passbook surface held. Contact. The passbook closing means also rotates the held passbook surface while rotating by the carrying force, centering around the stitch, and takes it into the passbook receiving box.

Therefore, since the passbook that has been forgotten is taken into the passbook loading box in a closed state, the passbook loading box has a size for loading the closed passbook, and the passbook handling apparatus can be downsized.

[0010]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The elements common to the drawings are given the same reference numerals.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a main part of the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. A passbook loading unit 20 is provided at the end of the transport path 1. The passbook loading unit 20 includes a passbook closing unit 21 provided on the upper side and a passbook loading box 22 placed on the lower side with the extension of the transport path 1 interposed therebetween. The passbook closing means 21 is composed of a main body member 23 having a substantially f-shaped cross section which extends in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction A, and ear members 24 and 25 which are erected at both ends in the extending direction. The main body member 23 includes a first plate 26 along the extension of the transport path 1 and a second plate 27 that intersects with the extension of the transport path 1 and forms an acute angle with the first plate 26. The opening 28 is provided toward the end of the transport path 1. That is, the ear members 24 and 25 are erected on the outer surface of the first plate 26 and rotatably provided on the shaft 29 pivotally supported by the side frame (not shown). The other end of a tension coil spring 30 having one end hooked on the device side (not shown) is hooked on the ear members 24, 25, and the tip 31 of the first plate 26 is fixed between the side frames. It is in contact with the stopper 32 of No. 1. A second stopper 33 is provided between the side plates to contact the outer surface of the second plate 27 when the passbook closing means 21 is rotated against the tensile force of the tension coil spring 30. The leading end of the first plate 26 is bent in a dogleg shape so that the passbook 6 can be easily introduced, and the bent portion serves as an abutting portion 34 that abuts the page surface of the passbook 6 that is closed. Further, the first plate 26 and the second plate 27 constitute a holding portion 35 which holds the page side closed. The cross-section L-shaped member 36 that is fixed between the side frames and constitutes the passbook receiving box 22 has a bottom surface 37 inclined in the extension direction of the transport path 1 and away from the extension portion. The width dimension up to 38 is almost equal to the short dimension of the closed passbook 6.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a passbook import operation. The passbook will be defined before the explanation of the operation. The closed page side on the front end portion 41 side that is transported around the stitch 40 is referred to as a passbook surface 42, and the page side including the rear end portion 43 is referred to as a passbook surface 44. Further, in the description of FIG. 3, those unnecessary for the description are omitted. The passbook 6 is transported in the direction of arrow A along the transport path 1 by the transport rollers 8 which rotate in the directions of arrows B and C, respectively, as shown in FIG. When the leading end portion 41 of the page-side passbook surface 42 to be closed collides with the second plate 27 of the passbook closing means 21 as shown in (b), the passbook closing means 21 passes through the passbook 6 and conveys force. The rotation starts in the direction of arrow E. The leading end portion 41 of the passbook surface 42 is held by the holding portion 35, and the contact portion 34 contacts the passbook surface 42. The passbook surface 42 is warped by the contact portion 34 and the holding portion 35 as the passbook closing means 21 rotates. When the passbook 6 is further conveyed and the stitch 40 of the passbook 6 falls from the conveying path 1 to the bottom surface 37 of the passbook take-in box 22 as shown in (c), the passbook surface 42 is centered on the held tip portion 41. It rotates in the direction of arrow E, which is the direction that is rapidly closed. Then, the passbook closing means 21 stops by contacting the outer surface of the second plate 27 with the second stopper 33. The passbook 6 is further conveyed, and the stitch 40 moves along the bottom surface 37. During this time, the passbook fetching means 21 remains in contact with the second stopper 33 because the passbook surfaces 42 and 43 are restrained, and the tip portion 41 is stopped together with the holding portion 34. When the stitch 40 moves along the bottom surface 37 of the passbook loading box 22 and slightly past the vertical bottom of the tip end portion 41 held by the holding portion 34, as shown in (d), the passbook 6 The rear end 43 falls from the transport path 1 to the bottom surface 37 of the passbook loading box 22. As a result, the passbook fetching means 21 does not have any restraint, so that it is rotated in the direction of arrow F by the tensile force of the tension coil spring 30 to further close the passbook surface 42 at the tip of the second plate 27. To be crowded. At this time, the stitch 40 of the passbook 6 is in contact with the curved portion 38 of the passbook loading box 22. The passbook closing means 21 is in the closed state when the tip 31 of the first plate 26 comes into contact with the first stopper 32 to stop the rotation, as shown in (e).
