However, the products targeted by these conventional foil stamping devices are:
It was not possible to apply to products that are limited to a single piece or a single item and that are planarly continuous, for example, continuous paper in which unit pieces (unit paper) are continuously arranged through perforations. .

On the other hand, although a device for thermally transferring a magnetic tape having a magnetic layer onto a form has been proposed, the form covered by this device is limited to a single form, and similar to the above-mentioned foil stamping device, for continuous paper. Was impossible to apply.

Therefore, in the past, in order to attach a magnetic layer to a desired unit paper of continuous paper, there is no other way but to attach it manually.
There has been a demand for the development of a device that can do this automatically. For that purpose, a roller or the like for transferring the continuous paper is required, but if the transfer amount is not correct, the transfer position for each unit piece will shift, and the magnetic layer cannot be foil-stamped to the desired position. There is a problem that some data can be recorded and some data cannot be recorded when recording data on the magnetic layer, and the data cannot be read when reading data on the magnetic layer.

The present invention has been developed to solve this problem and meet the above-mentioned demands, and provides an apparatus for automatically stamping a magnetic layer accurately for each unit sheet of continuous paper without shifting to a desired position. The purpose is to

[Means for solving problems]

The drive motor 7 (see FIG. 3) linked to the tractor portion 3 is intermittently driven by engaging with the table 2 to intermittently drive the table 2 toward the front side in FIG. Be transferred.

A head portion 8 is supported by a column 9 on the table 2 so that the head portion 8 is located above the transfer path at a substantially central portion of the continuous paper 4 in the transfer direction. Each of the control devices described later is built in the head portion 8, and
Various operation switches are arranged on one surface.

The head portion 8 is provided with a take-up reel 11 and a take-up reel 12 around which the magnetic tape 10 is wound so as to be rotatable via a supporting member 13. As shown in FIG. 4, the magnetic tape 10 includes a base film 10a, a magnetic layer 10b to be foil-pressed,
It is composed of a heat-resistant adhesive layer 10c. The feeding reel 11 and the take-up reel 12 constitute a magnetic tape transfer mechanism. By intermittently driving the drive motor 14 (see FIG. 3) linked to the take-up reel 12, the magnetic tape 10 moves in the transfer path of the continuous paper 4 from the feeding reel 11 via the guide shaft 15. Cross the upper part at a right angle and take up the take-up reel 1
It is transferred intermittently so that it can be wound up on 2.

Further, the head portion 8 is provided with a heating platen 17 which is heated by a heating device (not shown) and is moved up and down by an air cylinder 16 (see FIG. 3).
On this heating plate 17, the magnetic tape 10

The hot platen 17 is positioned above the transfer path of the magnetic tape 10 during standby (ascending), while it is operating (descent) at a preset temperature and pressure. Is pressed against the unit paper 4a of the continuous paper 4 to thermally transfer the magnetic layer 10b in a stripe shape.

Subsequently, the control system will be described with reference to FIG.

The drive motor 7 of the tractor unit 3 is electrically connected to the tractor drive control device 18 incorporated in the head unit 8 and continuously operated for a preset distance, specifically, the length of the unit sheet 4a in the flow direction. The paper 4 is controlled to be intermittently transferred.

The drive motor 14 of the magnetic tape transfer mechanism is electrically connected to the tape transfer control device 19 built in the head unit 8 and has a predetermined distance, specifically, a predetermined length of the magnetic layer 10b to be thermally transferred. The magnetic tape 10 is controlled so as to be intermittently transferred by a length including a margin. The tractor drive control device 18 and the tape transfer control device 19 are electrically connected to each other so as to generate control signals in synchronization with each other. Therefore, the unit sheet 4a of continuous paper and the magnetic tape 10 are intermittently transported by a predetermined distance at the same time.

After that, the continuous paper 4 is controlled to descend so as to thermally transfer the magnetic layer of the magnetic tape 10 to a predetermined unit paper 4a located directly below the heating plate 17 and to rise to a standby position after a predetermined time. .

Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, when the start switch (not shown) is turned on, the continuous paper 4 is transported by the length of the unit paper 4a in the flow direction, and the unit paper is immediately below the heating platen 17. 4a is positioned, the magnetic tape 10 is transferred by the length of the magnetic layer 10b to be thermally transferred plus a predetermined margin in synchronization with the transfer of the unit paper 4a of the continuous paper 4, and the thermal transfer is performed. The part to be processed is the hot plate 17
And the unit sheet 4a. Subsequently, the heating plate 17 is lowered to thermally transfer a predetermined portion of the magnetic layer 10b of the magnetic tape 10 to the predetermined position of the unit sheet 4a in the stripe shape of the plate 17 ', and then the heating plate 17 is moved up to the standby position. By repeating the above operation intermittently, the magnetic layer 10b of the magnetic tape 10 is automatically and sequentially foil-stamped to the predetermined position of each unit paper 4a of the continuous paper 4, and the thermally transferred portion of the magnetic tape 10 is completed. Is taken up by the take-up reel 12.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and, for example, the continuous paper 4 and the magnetic tape 10 may be set so that the transfer directions thereof are parallel to each other or set obliquely, as shown in FIG. As described above, the tractor portion 3 may be provided in two directions orthogonal to each other, and the head 8 may be fixed in a state of being rotated by 90 degrees about the vertical axis with respect to the transfer direction of the continuous paper 4, and further, the head 8 may be fixed. Many modifications are possible, such as arranging the rotatably around the axis.

〔effect〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the continuous paper is transferred by the tractor by engaging the transfer holes, so that the continuous paper is accurately positioned at each unit paper and the deviation due to accumulation is caused. The magnetic layers can be automatically foil-stamped without any occurrence, whereby continuous paper can be accurately performed when recording data on each magnetic layer and when reading the recording. In particular, if continuous paper is created for an encoder that records data on the magnetic layer while transporting it with a tractor in a continuous state, a continuous paper with a magnetic layer having good consistency can be created very easily, and after the foil is pressed on the magnetic layer. Since no special position check is required, it is possible to obtain the beneficial effect of improving work efficiency.
