Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ticket issuing device for which the normal dispensing operation of slip can be expected when issuing a short ticket and a long slip into the same take-out port. SOLUTION: A slip 11 in the middle of ticket issuance abutting its starting edge on a projecting part 10 provided at the tip of a first shoot 12 so as to hold a ticket 3 having a short length in a ticket issuing direction F surely bends its starting edge section upward. Accompanying the issue of the ticket, the starting edge of the slip rides over the projecting part 10 of the first shoot 12 because of its own flexibility (elasticity). Therefore, even in the ticket issuing device with which the ticket short in the ticket issuing direction and the long slip are issued to the same take-out port, the slip can be normally dispensed without clogging a ticket issue passage 8.

The length of 1 depends on the number of times the card deposit machine is used,
It is relatively long compared to ticket 3.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the first chute 12, the lower side of the ticket-issuing direction F is inclined low, a projection 10 for locking the ticket 3 is formed at the tip, and the central portion of the tip is formed. The notch 13 is formed in the.

Above the first chute 12, a second chute 14 that forms a ticket-issuing path with the first chute 12 is provided.
Is provided. To the second chute 14, a passage restricting member 15 that is located on the upper side of the ticketing direction F with respect to the tip of the first chute 12 and has a chevron-shaped side surface and restricts a ticket issuing passage is attached by a screw 16. . Here, the first and second chutes 12 and 14 are made of stainless steel, and the passage restricting member 15 is made of synthetic resin.

Specifically, the height H1 of the ticket issuing passage 8 shown in FIG. 1 is 20 mm, the height H2 of the projection 10 formed by bending the tip of the first chute 12 is 12 mm, and the passage restricting member 15 is provided. Top 17 and projection 1 of the first chute 12
The distance L from 0 is 40 mm, and the height H3 of the passage restricting member 15 is
Is 15 mm, the band-shaped ticketing paper 18 has a width of about 6 cm, is made of high-quality paper of 100 g / m ² , and has a thickness of about 100 μm.

The ticket 3 cut into a length of 30 mm in the ticket issuing direction F is received by the projecting portion 10 of the first chute 12 as in the conventional case, and the user is provided with the cutout portion 1 shown in FIG.
