Abstract

PURPOSE: To effectively turn over pages of a bankbook having various physical properties and specifications by attaching the component of an auxiliary roller for bearing the page-turning operation of particularly having high rigidity of one page if the arbitrary one page to be desirably turned over is irregularly rigid. CONSTITUTION: An auxiliary roller 1 is provided oppositely to the vicinity of a cover end 4 laminated with the high rigidity magnetic stripe of a bankbook cover 3 on the extension of the rotary shaft 7 of a page-turning roller 2 disposed oppositely to the center of the bankbook with respect to the lateral direction of the bankbook in a turning-over mechanism. The roller 1 is made of a smaller- diameter rubber roller than that of the roller 2. The roller 2 is rotated counterclockwise 5 when a motor is driven, and a turn-over pressing force is added in contact with the cover 3. The cover end 4 generating the bending deforming difference 5 at the time point of turning-over is supported at the time of turning- over at the roller 1, and pressed to positively bend it, thereby effectively turn it over.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention does not require the page-turning mechanism to meet the specifications of the medium even for diversifying media, and it is possible to perform page-turning reliably with the same mechanism. It is related to the page turning mechanism for passbooks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Passbooks handled by a conventional passbook handling apparatus are mainly those in which a magnetic stripe is attached to the back cover. On the other hand, on the side of the passbook handling device side, a mainstream mechanism is one in which only the front cover or the middle-sized pages, whose rigidity is relatively uniform, are turned over. However, in recent years, magnetic stripes have been put on both front and back covers of the passbook, and among these, there is a passbook having a portion where the rigidity is extremely biased on the entire front cover. In a passbook handling device that does not assume such a passbook, a difference in cover bending deformation due to uneven cover cover rigidity occurs when the cover is turned, and as a result, fold marks may be left at the boundary between the large deformation portion and the small deformation portion. there were. In addition, even if there are no folds left, it is easy to cause a problem that a portion with a small bending deformation cannot be turned over. An example of this type of medium handling device is the pickup device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-24687. However, in this device, a mounting block is projected below the rotating member so that the soft sheets can be picked up one by one, and the pressing surface of the protruding block is pressed against the soft sheet to rotate the rotating member. Thus, the uppermost soft sheet is picked up by the block pickup needle. Therefore, this is obviously not applicable to passbook handling devices.

[0003]

As described above, when a magnetic stripe is attached to a biased portion and the passbook having a portion with extremely biased rigidity on the front cover is inserted into a passbook page turning device, Since there is a magnetic stripe on either the left or right side in the width direction of the cover of the passbook to be flipped, only that part becomes extremely stiffer than other parts of the same cover, and the resistance when turning is large. As a result, the edge with the magnetic stripe has a smaller amount of curl (that is, the amount of bending deformation) than the edge without the magnetic stripe, and the cover may be tilted and folded, which may cause turning failure. . Also, when the turning mechanism is the roller and the guide that holds it, and when they try to turn around by contacting in the vicinity of the central portion of the passbook width to be turned, the magnetic stripe part at the end of the passbook width direction is the turning roller. Since it is not directly pressed against the guide or the guide and no force is applied thereto, and much higher in rigidity than other portions, it does not bend so much. On the other hand, the central portion in the passbook width direction, which is directly pressed by the turning roller and the guide and is applied with force, surely bends. As a result, a crease due to a difference in the bending deformation amount at the time of turning is generated in a portion between the end in the passbook width direction having the magnetic stripe and the central portion in the passbook width direction. The object of the present invention is to solve such conventional problems,
A passbook that can reliably turn pages with the same turning mechanism, even for passbooks with various physical properties and specifications, such as passbooks whose rigidity of the cover is uneven due to the presence of magnetic stripes, etc. It is to provide a page turning mechanism.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a passbook type page turning mechanism of the present invention is a passbook type page turning mechanism provided with a mechanism such as a roller or a belt for turning pages of a passbook type. In the case where the rigidity is non-uniform in any one page to be turned over, in order to take part in the turning operation of only the particularly rigid part of the one page, an assist is provided in the vicinity of the highly rigid part. It is characterized by having parts such as rollers.

[0005]

In the present invention, in addition to the roller and the guide for performing the turning operation, an auxiliary roller is installed near the end side in the passbook width direction where the magnetic stripe exists. This auxiliary roller
The same rotation operation is performed by connecting with the roller that performs the turning operation (hereinafter, turning roller). At the rotational position where the turning roller applies an appropriate turning force to the cover that is about to flip to separate the cover from the next page, the auxiliary roller causes an extra turning force on the cover that is about to turn. In order not to add, the positional relationship or shape should not touch the cover you are trying to flip over. Then, when the bending deformation gradually increases with the rotation of the turning roller, the auxiliary roller presses and supports the vicinity of the magnetic stripe portion, which has high rigidity and has a smaller bending deformation amount than other portions, so that the other portion The difference in the amount of bending deformation between and is not increased. Further, the auxiliary roller rotates in the same manner as the turning roller so as to take part in the turning-up operation after separating the next page of the cover to be turned and the turning-off of the cover after the turning-up. . As a result, even if the rigidity of the cover sheet is non-uniform due to the presence of the magnetic stripe or the like, the same turning mechanism can perform turning as stably as a normal passbook.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a passbook-type turning mechanism (state in which a passbook is set) showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is an auxiliary roller newly added by the present invention. The auxiliary roller 1 is a rubber roller having a diameter slightly smaller than that of the turning roller 2. The auxiliary roller 1 is a known turning mechanism, and is arranged at a position facing the central portion of the passbook in the passbook width direction, and the rotary shaft 7 of the folding roller 2 is disposed.
In the extension of, the sheet is arranged at a position facing the vicinity of the cover sheet edge 4 of the passbook to which the highly rigid magnetic stripe of the passbook cover 3 to be turned is attached. 5 is the direction of rotation,
Reference numeral 8 is a fixed roller for holding a passbook, 9 is a passbook holding upper guide, and 10 is a passbook holding lower guide.

It is the rubber roller of the turning roller 2 that actually turns the pages of the passbook. It is turned over by the pressing force of the rubber roller, but this force is generally set below a certain value. If the auxiliary roller 1 is a rubber roller having the same size as the turning roller, the pressure becomes too large,
There is a risk that multiple sheets will be turned. On the other hand, considering the phenomenon that the page is folded and the phenomenon that the turning is tilted, at the time when the turning roller 2 starts turning, the folding and the tilt are not obvious, but become significant from the middle. That is, the state in which the paper is pressed is the state in which the paper is first turned up with the semicircular rubber. Next, when the operation proceeds, the end of the semi-circular rubber is reached, so that no pressure is applied. The role of the turning roller 2 is to perform the work of turning up by frictional force, that is, the work of separating the paper. At this point, the page is folded or tilted. Therefore, at that time, the auxiliary roller 1 may contact the paper.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the turning roller and the auxiliary roller in FIG. In FIG. 2, the turning roller 2 contacts the passbook cover sheet 3 to start turning. The turning roller 2 is driven by a motor (not shown) and starts rotating in the counterclockwise direction 5 from the position shown in FIG. The turning roller 2 comes into contact with the passbook cover 3 by the rotation,
The cover 3 is applied with a turning pressing force necessary for separating the cover 3 from the next page by the elastic deformation force of the roller or the like. At this time, the auxiliary roller 1 is rotating in the same direction as the turning roller 2, but the roller rotation radius is smaller than that of the turning roller 2, and the outermost diameter rotation locus of the auxiliary roller 1 does not reach the cover 3 at this time. With the shape, the cover 3 is not applied with an excessive pressing force and does not become a factor for turning two sheets. As is clear from FIG. 2, the auxiliary roller 1 is attached to the rotating shaft 7 together with the turning roller 2 and both rollers 1 and 2 are rotated by the driving force, but the auxiliary roller 1 is in contact with the cover sheet 3. Absent. Only the turning roller 2 comes into contact with the cover 3 and applies a pressing force. On the opposite side, the fixed roller 8 serves as a fulcrum for the turning operation. After this point, the turning roller 2 and the auxiliary roller 1 are further rotated, so that the cover sheet 3 is separated from the next page by the turning roller 2 and begins to bend.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view at the time when the cover sheet is separated from the next page and starts to bend. Since the cover sheet edge 4 has high rigidity, the bending starts later than the other portions of the cover sheet 3, or the bending amount is extremely small. In the cover sheet edge 4 of the cover sheet 3, a portion 6 protruding outside the end portion of the auxiliary roller 1 has a bending deformation difference. Even if the bending deformation difference 6 is slightly generated, the cover 3 is not folded. That is, if the size of the bending deformation difference 6 is smaller than a certain degree, no bending occurs. Although the auxiliary roller 1 is provided in order to suppress the bending deformation difference 6 to a certain degree or less, the deformation difference 6 does not become zero. The cover sheet edge 4 is subjected to a bending action when it comes into contact with the auxiliary roller 1 for the first time. Even if the cover 3 is greatly bent by the further rotation of the turning roller 2, the bending deformation difference 6 does not increase further, and the turning operation of the auxiliary roller 1 is performed while maintaining the initial value. receive. As a result, the bending deformation difference 6 when the turning operation is performed only by the turning roller 2
It is possible to prevent a problem that the cover 3 is broken or the cover edge 4 is not sufficiently bent and cannot be completely turned up due to the enlargement.

In this embodiment, the rotary shaft 7 of the turning roller 2
By arranging the auxiliary roller 1 at a position opposite to the passbook cover sheet edge 4 on the extension of, the rigidity is increased by the magnetic stripes at the widthwise ends of the passbook cover sheet 3, so that the bending deformation difference 6 at the time of turning is reduced. The edge 4 in the width direction of the cover sheet that is generated is supported when being turned up and is positively bent by pressing it. The auxiliary roller 1 maintains a positional relationship or shape that does not touch the cover that is about to turn so as not to apply an extra turning force to the cover that is about to turn. Next, when the bending deformation gradually increases with the rotation of the turning roller 2, the auxiliary roller 1 presses and supports the vicinity of the magnetic stripe portion, which has high rigidity and the bending deformation amount 6 is smaller than the other portions. The difference in the bending deformation amount 6 from other portions is prevented from increasing. Further, the auxiliary roller 1 is the turning roller 2
By performing the same rotation as the above, it is possible to participate in the turning-up operation after separating from the next page of the cover to be turned over and prevent the cover from tilting after the turning-up. As a result, the bending deformation difference 6 between the edge 4 in the width direction of the cover sheet and the other portion of the cover sheet 3 is kept constant without turning up, so that the cover sheet 3 does not have a crease due to the bending deformation difference 6. did. Further, by rotating the auxiliary roller 1 together with the turning roller 2, the end 4 in the cover width direction can be turned up to the same height as the other portions of the cover 3.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the present invention can be applied to the case where a turning belt mechanism is arranged instead of the turning roller. That is, FIGS.
In the embodiment described above, the case where the turning roller 2 and the auxiliary roller 1 are arranged is shown. However, even when a belt for performing a turning operation is arranged instead of the turning roller 2, the position is opposite to the end in the passbook direction. By providing the auxiliary roller, even a passbook page that has high rigidity at the end in the passbook width direction and is difficult to turn up can be bent and turned up almost in the same manner as the portion other than the end in the passbook width direction. Further, as another embodiment, there is a method of arranging a turning-off roller in proportion to the rigidity distribution of the passbook page to be turned over so that the rigidity of the passbook page received by each roller is equalized. As a result, the rigidity per roller is equalized, and the reliability of the turning operation is further improved. Further, as another embodiment, there is a method of providing a guide for forcibly pressing and bending the high rigidity portion of the passbook page instead of the auxiliary roller. This also eliminates the bending deformation difference on the entire surface of the passbook page, and can prevent the generation of page fold marks. Furthermore, as another embodiment, there is a method of changing the position of the turning roller so that the distances from the left and right ends in the passbook width direction are equalized depending on the length in the passbook width direction. In addition, with the passbook width direction,
It is the longitudinal direction of the passbook, and the traveling direction of the passbook is the lateral direction of the passbook.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to prevent a problem that the height of the cover having a high rigidity at the end in the width direction of the cover is low, the cover is inclined and turned over, a crease is left on the page, or the page fails to turn.
As a result, even if the rigidity of the cover sheet is non-uniform due to the presence of the magnetic stripe or the like, the same turning mechanism can perform the same stable flipping operation as a passbook that has been conventionally handled. .
