The operator touches the stamp body 1 with the engaging portion 85 of the guide bar 83, and the right roller 81 provided on the guide member 78 engages with the engaging recess 16 of the grip portion 2 of the stamp body 1. Insert until you do. When the stamp body 1 is inserted until it abuts and engages, the stamp body 1 is disposed at a predetermined position in the mounting portion 71 for boring shown in FIG.

Next, the operator performs the closing operation of rotating the opening / closing door 75 counterclockwise in FIG. Along with this closing operation, the sector gear 76 rotates counterclockwise in FIG.
With the rotation of the sector gear 76, the head switching rod 89 rotates clockwise in FIG. Then, the cam body 91 attached to the head switching rod 89 is set in the upright posture,
The thermal head 90 includes the cam contact plate 93 and the spring 97
The stamp body 1 is disposed at a perforation position for pressing the right end of the stamp face portion 33 of the stamp body 1 shown by a solid line in FIG.

As described above, the operator uses the stamp body 1
After the is mounted, the perforation switch 66 is turned ON.

Next, when the perforation switch 66 is turned on (S7: Yes), the detection signals of the proximity switches 104 and 105 are read (S8), and it is determined whether or not the stamp body 1 is present, that is, the stamp. It is determined whether or not the body 1 is attached to the perforation attachment portion 71 (S9), and when the determination is No, that is, when the operator operates the perforation switch 66 without attaching the stamp body 1, , S10, "Please attach a stamp body" is displayed on the LCD 53, and then the process proceeds to S7. On the other hand, the determination in S9 is Ye
In s, if the stamp body 1 is mounted, S11
, The stamp face size and stamp body 1 set in S5
It is determined whether or not the size is compatible. The size of the stamp body 1 means the proximity switches 104 and 105.
Is the width size of the stamp body 1 determined based on the detection signal from the stamp body 1.

Next, when the determination in S11 is No, that is,
If the size of the stamp body 1 does not conform to the set stamp face size, "Please replace the stamp body" is displayed on the LCD 53 (S12), and the process proceeds to S7. Steps S7 to S12 are repeatedly performed until the currently mounted stamp body 1 is removed and a stamp body 1 having a size matching the set stamp size is mounted.

On the other hand, when the determination in S11 is Yes, that is,
When the size of the attached stamp body 1 matches the set stamp face size, a punching process is performed on the stamp face portion 33 of the stamp body 1 and during the punching process, the LCD 53 is used.
Displays "drilling" (S13). In the punching process, first, dot pattern data for punching is created based on the format and character string data input to the input buffer 124 and stored in the punching buffer 125.
The carriage feed motor 100 is driven based on the dot pattern data stored in the perforation buffer 125, the carriage 87 moves from the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 21 to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line, and the thermal head 90 is driven. Then, a perforation based on the perforated dot pattern data is formed in the stamp face portion 33.

At the end of punching, the thermal head 90
Until the carriage 8 is displaced leftward from the stamp face 33.
7 is driven to move, so that the thermal head 90 does not continue to press the stamp surface portion 33, thereby preventing the leakage of ink. Next, in S14, it is determined whether or not the perforation is completed. When the perforation is completed, in S15, "perforation processing completed" and "Please remove the stamp body" are displayed on the LCD 53,
The sound of the loudspeaker 200 is generated in S16, and S1
Return to. The operator opens the opening / closing door 75 and removes the stamp body 1 by listening to the voice of the loudspeaker 200 or seeing the message "Please remove the stamp body". At this time, since the carriage 87 has moved to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 21, the carriage 87 and the thermal head 90 do not prevent the removal of the stamp body 1. Therefore, even if the operator separates from the heating punching device 50 during punching and performs other work, the voice of the loudspeaker 200 can surely inform that the punching is completed.

If the stamp body 1 is not removed, steps S1 to S3 of the processing steps are repeated until the stamp body 1 is removed by the operator.

Next, the operation of the stamp device including the stamp body 1 and the heat punching device 50 described above will be described.

With respect to the stamp body 1, a large number of perforations having a desired pattern are previously formed on the heat-sensitive stencil sheet 28 forming the stamp surface portion 33, the protective cap 7 is removed, and the stamp surface portion 33 is removed through the skirt member 6. When the grip portion 2 is grasped and the grip portion 2 is pushed downward and the stamp surface portion 33 is pressed against the surface of the paper after the paper is positioned at a desired position on the surface of the paper, the ink in the impregnation body 27 is perforated with a large number of holes. The perforation pattern can be printed on the surface of the paper because of the seepage.

A vertically movable skirt member 6 surrounding the outer peripheral side of the stamp portion 3 is provided, and the skirt member 6 is attached to the first
The skirt member 6 is configured to be able to move up and down over a position, a second position, and a third position.
