Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is used for a conveyance path of a booklet printing device, particularly for a terminal for a financial institution, and conveys the booklet sideways in order to reproduce magnetic recording. Regarding the structure of the road.

[Prior Art] FIG. 4 shows a configuration (front view) of a conveying path of a conventional booklet printing apparatus, in which an upper guide plate 1 is provided with a feed shaft 3 having a feed roller 2. ,
A pressure roller 5 is arranged on the lower guide plate 4, and a booklet 6 such as a passbook is conveyed by the feed roller 2 and the pressure roller 5 in an open state. Further, a guide block 7 is provided on the side surface side of the booklet 6, and the guide block 7 has a guide surface 7a for abutting and guiding the side surface of the booklet 6.

Therefore, at the side end of the booklet 6, the magnetic head 8
From below, the magnetic recording portion provided on the cover of the booklet 6 and the like contacts the lower surface 7b of the guide block 7 in such a manner that the magnetic recording portion is pressed against it, whereby magnetic recording and reproduction can be performed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-described conventional conveyance path, the side surface of the booklet 6 is in close contact with the guide surface 7a of the guide block 7, and as shown in FIG. Booklet 6
Even if the booklet 6 is contacted by being pressed against, the booklet 6 may be distorted due to the frictional resistance between the booklet 6 and the guide surface 7a. In this case, the head touch to the magnetic recording medium becomes unstable. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a conveyance path of a booklet printing apparatus capable of stabilizing the head touch of the booklet on the magnetic recording medium in the vicinity of the guide block.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a guide block having a guide surface, and for a booklet that conveys the booklet to the magnetic head portion while the side surface of the booklet is in contact with the guide surface. In the transport path of the printing device, the guide surface of the guide block is formed by retracting in the movable area of the magnetic head portion required for printing, and a gap is provided between the side surface of the booklet to be transported and the guide surface.

[Operation] According to the above configuration, due to the gap between the booklet side surface and the guide surface, the frictional resistance between the booklet side surface and the guide surface is eliminated in the movable region of the magnetic head, and the booklet is naturally pushed by the magnetic head. Since the upper surface of the guide block is contacted and printing is started in this state, good head touch printing can be performed.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a top view of a conveyance path of the booklet printing apparatus of the embodiment, FIG. 2 shows a side view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows an arrow of FIG. The front view seen from the A direction is shown.

In FIG. 1, feed shafts 3a, 3b, 3c holding a feed roller 2 are arranged on an upper guide plate 1, and a guide block 9 provided at an end of a conveying path has a guide surface 9a. The booklet 6 is guided in the conveyance path by this guide surface 9a.

In FIG. 2, the booklet 6 is conveyed by the feed roller 2 and the pressure roller 5 arranged on the lower guide plate 4, and the magnetic head 8 is indicated by a chain line in the conveying direction during magnetic recording and reproduction. Magnetic head 8a
Can be moved in the movable area from the position of to the position of the magnetic head 8b, and the movement of the magnetic head 8 can reproduce the recorded information from the magnetic recording medium formed at the position of the broken line 100 in FIG. it can.

Such a guide block 9 in the movable area of the magnetic head 8
As shown in FIG. 1, a guide surface 9c having a curved surface that gently retreats toward the leading end of the transport path is formed on
The guide surface 9c is retracted from the reference guide surface 9a by a gap G at the maximum, and the side surface of the booklet 6 and the guide surface 9c.
Open a gap with 9c. The reason why the gap is gradually widened toward the tip in this way is to maintain the guide function of the booklet 6 on the guide surfaces 9a and 9c, and to retreat with other shapes that do not lose this guide function. The guide surface may be formed.

FIG. 3 shows a front view of a state in which magnetic recording is reproduced by the magnetic head 8. When the magnetic head 8 contacts the booklet 6 so as to push it up from below, the booklet 6 is pushed and the guide block 9 is pressed. It contacts the lower surface 9b. In this case, as shown in the figure, since there is a gap G between the side surface of the booklet 6 and the guide surface 9c, the booklet 6 has a magnetic head 8 without frictional resistance.
The recording / reproducing operation can be performed with a good head touch.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the retracted guide surface is formed in the head movable region of the guide block, and a gap is provided between the side surface of the print medium and the guide surface. It is possible to eliminate the frictional resistance between the print medium and the guide surface, which has occurred in (1), and to reproduce the magnetic recording provided on the surface of the booklet with a stable head touch.
