Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a marking device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a marking device having a reduced vertical dimension.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, home delivery items require a recipient's receipt stamp when receiving the delivery. However, in this system, the delivery stamp cannot be obtained when the recipient is away. The goods cannot be delivered, which is very inconvenient for both the recipient and the delivery person. Therefore, recently, home delivery boxes have begun to be provided so that home delivery can be delivered and received even during absence. The delivery box incorporates a stamping device capable of stamping a receipt, and the deliverer places the delivery item in the box, puts the receipt in the stamping device, operates the receipt, and operates the recipient. Can be stamped.

[0003]

However, most of the conventional marking devices incorporated in a home delivery box or the like have the marking direction facing downward as shown in FIG. That is, the seal (S) is set so as to be movable in the vertical direction in the stamping device, and at the time of stamping, the seal is moved downward toward the receipt (R) by operation and stamped. The reason why the marking direction of the marking device is set to be downward is considered to be that it is suitable for obtaining a clear mark to be marked downward, and that it is due to the marking habit.

However, when the seal (S) is set in the vertical direction, the stamping device needs a space for storing the seal (S) in the vertical direction, and at least the storage space for the length of the seal (S). Is required. For this reason, the vertical dimension of the seal device is limited by the length of the seal (S). For example, in a home delivery box, it is preferable to secure a sufficient storage space for home delivery rather than to secure a space for the stamping device. For this reason, it is expected that a stamping device with a reduced vertical dimension is realized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a stamping device which eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional stamping device and has a reduced vertical dimension.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a seal holder for holding a seal with the seal face facing the front side of the apparatus. A receipt space that allows receipts to be placed on the side is formed on the front side of the device, moves toward the seal face of the seal when stamping, and contacts the back of the receipt placed in the receipt space to receive it There is provided a stamping device characterized in that a pressure contact plate for pressing a letter against a stamp face is arranged so as to be movable back and forth toward a receipt space.

Such a seal holder (1) can be provided movably in the front-rear direction with respect to the apparatus main body (4) shown in FIGS. Since the length of a commercially available seal (S) is not constant, the position of the seal (S) is determined by the position of the seal (S).
It is necessary to set to the optimum position where the seal can be made according to the length of the image. By providing the seal holder (1) so as to be movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the apparatus main body (4), the seal surface (S1) of the seal (S) can be always arranged at a predetermined position where the seal can be performed.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D, the seal holder (1) is movably supported in the front-rear direction by a support frame (107) whose front and rear ends are open. Specifically, slide pieces (108) project outward from the left and right sides of the seal holder (1), and the slide pieces (108) are formed in the left and right sides of the support frame (107). Slotted guide hole (109)

By pressing the pressure contact plate (3) against the stamp surface (S1) of the seal (S) while the (R) is not inserted into the receipt space (2), the stamping plate (3) is placed at an optimum position where the seal can be made. This is achieved by pressing the push button (6) backward in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b and pushing the front panel (51) backward in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2a.

The seal holder (1) has a spring (111) having one end fixed to the support frame (107).
Can be connected to the other end. This spring (11
The seal holder (1) is always pushed to the frontmost position by the elastic force generated in (1), so that the pressure contact plate (3) can surely hit the stamp surface (S1) of the seal (S). In this case, the other end of the spring (111) can be fixed to, for example, the slide (108) of the seal holder (1).

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, two slide pieces (108) are provided, and two guide holes (109) are formed in correspondence with the two slide pieces (108). No restrictions. The seal (S) must be held and fixed in the optimum position thus obtained, but a mechanism for that is also incorporated in the embodiment shown in FIG. The fixing mechanism of the seal holder (1) is shown in FIG.
This works particularly effectively for the embodiment shown in FIG.

The mechanism for fixing the seal holder (1) includes a rib (8) projecting outward from the seal holder (1),
A rotatable shaft (9) having an outer peripheral surface capable of contacting and pressing the rib (8);
0) and a link (12) that can move back and forth. The rib (8) can protrude from, for example, the upper surface of the seal holder (1).

The shaft (9) faces the rib (8),
They are arranged in a crossing direction. Preferably, it is the orthogonal direction. When the rib (8) is provided on the upper surface of the seal holder (1), the shaft (9) can be arranged above the rib (8). Also, in this case, the shaft (9) can be rotatably suspended on the support frame (107).

As shown in FIG. 3A, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 9 facing the rib 8 is cut out, and a flat portion 91 is formed as shown in FIG. Have been. The other outer peripheral surface is a cylindrical surface, and the flat surface (91) and the cylindrical surface constitute a cam surface. The shaft (9) is fixed to the crank (11).

The crank pin (10) provided in the crank (11) is provided with a guide hole (1) formed in the link (12).
21). The guide hole (121) has a long hole shape extending in the length direction of the link (12), and the crankpin (10) is inserted into the guide hole (121) with some play. On the other hand, link (12)
As shown in FIG. 7 a, the front end is disposed at a position where the front end thereof can be brought into contact with the rear surface of the cover (52) constituting the front part (5) of the apparatus.

In the fixing mechanism of the seal holder (1),
As shown in FIG. 7a, when not fixed, the shaft (9)
Is disposed such that the flat portion (91) faces the rib (8) protruding from the seal holder (1). A gap is formed between the flat portion (91) and the rib (8), and the shaft (9) does not contact the rib (8). The seal holder (1) is movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the apparatus main body (4).

When the seal (S) is mounted, the front panel (51) is pushed rearward to adjust the position of the seal (S), and the front part (5) of the apparatus is rotated rearward. Contacts the front end of the link (12) and then moves the link (12) backward as shown in FIG. 7b while making contact. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2B, the press contact plate (3) holds the seal (S) held by the seal holder (1).
And presses the seal holder (1) backward.

The guide hole (1) formed in the link (12)
21) has a play, so the crankpin (10)
Does not immediately hit the link (12) located at the front end of the guide hole (121), but eventually comes into contact with the link (12) as the link (12) moves backward. After the crank pin (10) comes into contact with the link (12), when the link (12) is pushed rearward by the cover (52), the crank pin (10) is moved rearward by the link (12). Moving. As a result, the shaft (9) rotates. The cylindrical surface of the shaft (9) approaches the rib (8).

Then, when the link (12) is further pushed backward and the front panel (51) is completely pushed, the cylindrical surface of the shaft (9) comes into contact with the rib (8) as shown in FIG. Press this. With this pressing force, the seal holder (1) is fixed. The seal stamp (S) is arranged at an optimum position where the seal can be applied according to its length, and is held and fixed to the seal holder (1). Slotted guide hole (1
The play of the link (12) according to 21) is effective in absorbing the difference in the length of the seal (S).

A click spring (13) can be attached to such a fixing mechanism of the seal holder (1).
This click spring (13) has one end connected to a crank pin (1).
0) and the other end can be fixed to the support frame (107). The elastic force generated in the click spring (13) acts in a direction that opposes the movement of the crankpin (10), and regulates the rotation of the shaft (9). Therefore, when the shaft (9) contacts and presses the rib (8), the shaft (9) is fixed by the elastic force of the click spring (13), and the seal holder (1) is stably fixed. Becomes

As shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3D, when setting the position of the seal holder (1), the front end of the link (12) reliably contacts the rear surface of the cover (52). The spring (14) can be connected so as to move backward with the cover (52) while maintaining the contact state. In this case, link (12) is
When the seal holder (1) is fixed by the elastic force generated by the spring (14) when moving backward, the stamper (1) is pushed forward to a position where the crankpin (10) contacts the rear end of the guide hole (121). It will be.

By the way, when the seal (S) is to be replaced because the vermilion is gone, it is necessary to release the fixed state of the seal holder (1), but this requires pulling the link (12) forward. Is realized by: When the link (12) is pulled forward, the process shown in FIG. 7 is reversed in the order of c → b → a, and the fixing of the seal holder (1) is released.
As shown in FIGS. 3c and 4, the spring (111)
Is attached, the seal holder (111) is pushed to the foremost position by the elastic force of the spring (111).

In order to pull the link (12) forward,
As shown in FIG. 3, the link (12) can be provided with a claw (122) at its front end. And FIG.
As shown in the figure, the nail (12) is provided on the rear surface of the cover (52).
The reset rib (56) provided with the hook portion (55) that can be engaged with (2) can be erected toward the rear.
The reset rib (56) is provided at a position where the hook (55) can be engaged with the pawl (122).

By doing so, as shown in FIG. 8B,
When taking out the seal (S) held and fixed to the seal holder (1), if the front panel (51) is rotated forward,
As the cover (52) rotates with the front panel (51), the hook (5) of the reset rib (56)
5) approaches the pawl (122) of the link (12) and contacts and engages. Then, the hook (55) pulls the link (12) forward through the claw (122), and the fixed state of the seal holder (1) can be released.

FIGS. 9a, 9b, 9c and 9d are a front view, a left side view, a right side view and a plan view, respectively, showing an embodiment of the apparatus front portion. The device front part (5) shown in FIG.
Is mounted on the front end opening of the apparatus main body shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 9 b, 9 c and 9 d, the reset rib (56) provided with the hooking portion (55) stands rearward on the rear surface of the cover (52) constituting the front portion (5) of the device. can do.

It is desirable that the rotation of the front part (5) of the apparatus is restrained at the time of non-marking so as not to be stamped unintentionally. To this end, as shown in FIG. 9, a stopper (57) is protruded rearward from the rear surface of the cover (52), and the device body (4) is provided with a stopper as shown in FIGS. 6a, 6b and 6c. For example, a lock piece (41) extending inward can be provided at a position where the front end of the stopper (57) hits the rear end. And when not stamping,
The rear end of the stopper (57) is brought into contact with the front end of the lock piece (41) to lock, and the rearward rotation of the front part (5) of the apparatus is stopped.

However, if the stopper (57) and the lock piece (41) are provided, there is a problem in setting the position of the seal (S). That is, FIG.
As shown in (2), since the rear end of the stopper (57) hits the lock piece (41) and the front part (5) of the apparatus is locked, the front part (5) of the apparatus can be rotated to the rotation limit. Therefore, it is impossible to set the position of the seal (S).

Therefore, the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 can be provided with an unlocking body (15) as shown in FIG. 11a in order to solve such a disadvantage. This unlocking body (15) is connected to the shaft (9). On the other hand, the front panel (51)
The cover (52) is rotatably supported at its upper end by a rotating shaft (58). At the same time, an unlocking rib (59) is provided upright on the rear surface of the cover (52). The unlocking rib (59) is provided at a position where it can be brought into contact with the front end of the unlocking body (15).

By doing so, as shown in FIG. 11A, when setting the position of the seal (S), the front (5)
When the is rotated backward, the rear part of the unlocking rib (59) hits the front end of the unlocking body (15),
As shown in FIG. 11b, the unlocking body (15) pushes down the unlocking rib (59) downward and the cover (5).
2) is rotated backward. When the click spring (13) shown in FIG.
Is applied to the shaft (9), so that the unlocking rib (59) has a larger force to release the unlocking body (15).
Press down. Due to the rotation of the cover (52), the stopper (57) moves the locking piece (4) as shown in FIG.
It turns around below 1) and does not hit the front end of the lock piece (41). The locked state of the front part (5) of the device is released,
It is possible to rotate backward. The position of the seal (S) shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C can be set.

As for the unlocking rib (59), even if the front part (5) of the apparatus is rotated, the unlocking member (1) is rotated.
The rear end is preferably formed in a curved shape so that the front end of 5) is in contact with the front end to some extent and is pushed down.
By supporting the cover (52) on the front panel (51), the insertion opening (53) formed in the front panel (51) can be opened and closed. That is, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the shield (16) is erected upward at the top of the front end of the cover (52), and the upper end of the cover (52) abuts on the lower end of the insertion slot (53). By arranging, the insertion opening (53) can be closed by the shield (16). In order to maintain the closed state, for example, a spring (17) is provided, and a moment in a direction of turning forward can be applied to the cover (52) by its elastic force. This spring (17) is, for example, a rotary shaft (5).
8) It can be placed on the top, one end of which is in contact with the front panel (51) and the other end of which is in contact with a suitable part of the cover (52).
On the other hand, at the time of sealing, the cover (52) is rotated backward. At this time, the upper end of the cover (52) moves to the upper end side of the insertion opening (53), the shield (16) moves away from the insertion opening (53), and the insertion opening (53) opens.

The stopping of the rotation of the front part (5) of the apparatus at the time of non-printing also hinders the printing shown in FIG. 2b. This is because in the state shown in FIG. 2A, the front part (5) of the apparatus is, as shown in FIG.
7) The rear end hits the lock piece (41) and is already locked. Therefore, in order to release the lock at the time of stamping, an unlocking rib (5a) at the time of stamping is further provided on the front surface (5) of the apparatus shown in FIG. Has been established. Then, as shown in FIGS. 12a and 12b, the unlocking shaft (18) which can be rotated back and forth to a position where it can be contacted from above at the time of imprinting on the imprinting unlocking rib (5a).
Is provided.

At the time of non-marking, the lock release shaft (1)
8) is located at the rear position, and the rib (5
a) is in a non-contact state. On the other hand, at the time of sealing, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the unlocking shaft (18) rotates forward, comes into contact with the unlocking rib (5a) at the time of stamping, and pushes it down. Then, the cover (52) pivots rearward, and the unlocked state shown in FIG. 10B is obtained. When the shield (16) is provided at the top of the front end of the cover (52), the insertion opening (53) is opened by the rotation of the cover (52) at this time. By pushing the front panel (51), the front part (5) of the apparatus can be rotated backward, and the seal can be made.

The rotation of the lock release shaft (18) may be either manual or automatic. In the case of an automatic type, for example, a motor drive mechanism (19) as shown in FIG. 13 can be adopted. In the motor drive mechanism (19) shown in FIG.
A worm (193) is provided on a rotating shaft (192) of
A lock release shaft (18) is provided upright on the side surface of the worm wheel (194) that meshes with the worm (193). An electric signal is input to the motor (191),
When activated, the rotational force is transmitted to the worm (193) through the rotating shaft (192), and then transmitted to the worm (19).
The rotation direction is changed by 3) and the worm wheel (194), and the front and rear rotation of the unlock shaft (18) is obtained.

Such a motor drive mechanism (19) simplifies the lock release operation at the time of stamping. In addition, the unlocking can be linked to the operation of the delivery box.
That is, in the home delivery box, generally, after the home delivery item is stored, the lid provided on the front surface of the home delivery box is locked by the operation of the solenoid, and an electric signal generated at the time of locking is input to the motor (191). By that
It can also unlock the stamping device. As shown in FIG. 3, the motor drive mechanism (19) can be fixed to, for example, the side surface of the support frame (107) of the seal holder (1).

Thus, FIGS. 1a and 1b and FIG.
In the embodiments shown in (1) and (2), the arrangement position of the seal (S) can be set to an optimal position corresponding to the length, but in these embodiments, the thickness of the seal (S) is Corresponding considerations can also be added to ensure that the seal (S) is held. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the inner surface (104) of the seal holder (103) is carved outward to form a recess (113). And this recess (1
An elastic member (20) having elasticity, such as a sponge, which can be compressed and deformed is inserted into the inside of (13) so as to protrude from the inner surface (104) of the seal holder (103). FIG. 15A is a front view showing this state.

In the seal holder (103) to which the elastic member (20) is attached, when the seal (S) is inserted between the pair of seal holders (103), the thick seal (S) is used. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 15b, the elastic member (20) is greatly compressed outward, while the thin seal (S) is slightly compressed. Hold securely. There are various types of commercially available seals (S) having various diameters, but the seals (S) of any thickness can be reliably held by the seal holder (1).
