Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] This is a method for turning the pages of a passbook, in order to prevent the pages of the passbook from being skewed when the pages are turned and then being skewed when being sent to the printing section. After the page is turned, by conveying it a certain distance in the direction opposite to the printing section, it is possible to correct the skew by following the guide on the side of the conveyance path.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for turning the pages of a bankbook in a bankbook printer for use at a bank counter.

Recently, various automatic machines have been used to streamline bank counter operations, one of which is a passbook printer that prints transaction details on a passbook. This passbook printer has a built-in page turning mechanism for printing on a desired page of the passbook.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIG. 2, a conventional passbook printer is provided with a conveyance path 2 from a passbook inlet/outlet 1, and in the middle of the conveyance path 2, a printing section consisting of a page sensor 3, a print head 4, and a platen 5, two opposing rollers 6, and a conveyance path 2 are provided. It has a page turning mechanism 8 consisting of 7. The page turning operation using this page turning mechanism will be explained with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 3a, the cover 9a is opened on the conveyance path, and the passbook 9 that has been fed from the direction of the printing section in the direction of arrow A is passed between the upper roller 6 and the lower roller 7.
and rotate the rollers 6 and 7 in the same direction (counterclockwise) to turn up the first page 9b as shown in FIG. 3b. At this time, the second sheet 9c may also be turned up. For this reason, after the first page is flipped up by the upper roller 6 as shown in FIG.
Rotate clockwise to prevent the second sheet from being lifted up. Next, the lower roller 7 is brought into contact with the passbook 9,
The upper roller is rotated clockwise and the lower roller 7 is rotated counterclockwise to discharge the passbook 9 in direction B (towards the printing section (B)) to complete page turning.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional page turning method described above, in order to prevent multiple page turning in the process shown in FIG. is supported only by the upper roller 6, and as a result, the passbook 9 may be tilted, which has the disadvantage that it runs diagonally during ejection, resulting in skewed print.

The present invention was created in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for turning passbook pages that prevents skewing.

[Means for solving problems]

For this reason, in the present invention, as illustrated in FIG.
A process of rotating the two rollers 6 and 7 counterclockwise to perform a page turning operation, and after flipping up the turned-up first page onto the upper roller 6, the lower roller 7 is turned over. Then, the upper roller 6 is rotated clockwise to return the second sheet to its original position, and after the lower roller 7 is brought into contact with the passbook, the upper roller 6 is rotated clockwise and the lower roller 7 is rotated counterclockwise. In the passbook page turning method, which includes at least the step of rotating the passbook 9 clockwise and returning the passbook 9 in the direction from which it came, the passbook 9 is rotated by an upper roller before the step of sending the passbook 9 back in the direction from which it came. 6 and lower roller 7 to the right to correct the skew of the bankbook 9.

[Effect]

Before sending the passbook 9 back in the direction it came from, by transporting the passbook 9 in the same direction as it was originally transported, the passbook 9, which has become slanted during the page turning process, can be moved along the guide of the transport path. It is possible to make corrections at the same time.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

The passbook page turning method of this embodiment is to first open the cover 9a of the transport path as shown in FIG. 6 and the lower roller 7, and rotate the rollers 6 and 7 counterclockwise, respectively, to print the first page 9b as shown in FIG. 1b.
Turn over the page. Next, as shown in Figure 1c, after flipping up the first page 9b with the upper roller 6, the lower roller 7 is released from the passbook 9, and the upper roller is rotated clockwise to flip up the first page at the same time as the first page in the previous process. Return the second sheet 9c that was lifted up so that it does not fly up. The process up to this point is the same as the conventional method explained with reference to FIG. Next, a process which is the main point of this embodiment is performed. In this step, as shown in FIG. 1d, the passbook 9 is sandwiched between the upper roller 6 and the lower roller 7, and is conveyed in the same direction as the direction in which it was initially conveyed (in the direction of arrow A'). However, this conveyance distance is
b is within the range from which it does not fall off from the upper roller 6. Next, as shown in FIG.
direction) to complete page turning.

According to this embodiment, the skew of the passbook 9 that occurs when the lower roller 7 is separated from the passbook 9 in the step of FIG. By conveying, the passbook 9 is conveyed along the guide of the conveyance path, so that it is corrected in the correct orientation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the skew that occurs when turning the pages of a bankbook can be corrected using an extremely simple method, and is extremely useful in practice.
