Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent jamming due to the insertion of a nonstandard medium by discharging a medium by allowing a part which is wider than guide width in the side of an insertion slot to push away undirectional rotary gates arranged at both the sides of the insertion slot. SOLUTION: The guide width W2 of the insertion slot 4 is set to 0.5 to 1 mm larger than the width W1 of a handled medium 1. Slopes 5 of specific width S1 are formed at both the sides of the guide width W2 and the gates 7 which rotate around support pins 6 by a specific angle are fitted in the upper parts of the slopes 5. When discharging operation starts while a medium 3 larger than the insertion slot width W2 is forcibly inserted, the parts of exceeding size are discharged sliding on the slopes 5. When they collide against the gates 7, which are pushed up around the support pins 6 and the parts of the exceeding size of the medium 3 can easily pass through the gaps between the slopes 5 and the tips of the gates 7. Consequently, no jamming is caused.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for handling passbooks or an apparatus for handling banknotes, bills and the like. More specifically, a user can use a passbook, a card, a ticket, a banknote, etc. to make a cash transaction, an automatic teller machine, an automatic teller machine, or a bankbook or a ticket. The present invention relates to an automatic processing device such as an automatic bookkeeping machine for printing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 1 shows an inserter section of a known medium transport processing apparatus in the prior art. In the prior art,
Guide width W ₂ of the insertion port 2 with respect to the width W ₁ of the handling medium 1 is common to about W ₁ + 0.5 to 1 mm. The reason is because the part inserter unit for operating a user directly, or induce the indeterminate without printing failure at the insertion medium when excessively increasing the guide width W ₂ insertion port 1 by the set position, the set time skew set This is because it is easy to induce a jam failure.

[0003] Therefore, when forced into the loading slot 2 of such a conventional structure αmm large non-standard medium 3 than the guide width W ₂ in forced, streets medium 3 according to FIG. 2 for spreading again inside the inserter becomes impinges jam fault in the guide width W ₂ of the insertion port 2, there is a disadvantage that the device down.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to prevent a jam from occurring even when a nonstandard medium which is one of the causes of a jam is inserted. It is an object of the present invention to provide a medium guide mechanism capable of reducing the size of a medium.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a non-standard medium 3.
Is inserted, the guide width W _{2 is set} inside the insertion slot _2.
By adopting a structure in which the portion of the medium 3 that has spread further can be pushed out of the one-way rotating gates disposed on both sides of the insertion slot 1, the jam is prevented and the apparatus is no longer down.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows a medium guide mechanism according to the present invention. Guide width W ₂ of the insertion opening 4 0.5~1mm are larger set than the width W ₁ of the handling medium 1 as described with reference to FIG.

The present invention is characterized in that a gate 5 having a predetermined width S ₁ is provided on both sides of a guide width W ₂ , and a gate that rotates by a predetermined angle about a support pin 6 is provided above the slope 5. 7 is fitted.

FIG. 4 is a side view for explaining the function of the rotary gate 7. As shown in FIG. While turning the gate 7 as previously described can predetermined pivot amount in the arrow f ₁ direction around the pin 6 is supported by the support pin 6 (see FIG. 4 (a)) the tip P ₁ is the insertion opening of the pivoting gate Arrow f ₂ because it is in contact with the slope 5 of its own weight
The structure is such that it does not rotate any more against external force from the direction. (See FIG. 4B) The actual operation and function of the medium guide mechanism of the present invention having such a configuration will be described.

FIG. 5 illustrates how the problem in the prior art described in FIG. 2 is solved in the present invention.

[0011] insertion opening width W only alpha than ₂ large medium size 3 described in FIG. 2 is forced insertion, then if you try discharge, Q ₁ or the relationship between the width W ₂ + alpha> W ₂ of the medium 3 Q ₂ is a rear-end collision the insertion port 2, became the jam.

[0012] In the present invention the medium 3 as described in FIGS. 5 (a) is forced insertion, then if the discharge operation is applied, Q ₁ and Q ₂ dimensions unit is discharged while climbing a slope 5, 5 As shown in (b), when the gate 7 collides with the gate 7, the gate 7 is pushed up in the direction of arrow f ₁ around the support pin 6, and a gap S ₂ is provided between the slope 5 and the tip P _{1 of the} guide 7. Therefore, the portions Q ₁ and Q ₂ of the medium 3 can easily pass through, so that no jam occurs.

[0013] When the user of the discharged medium 3 is withdrawn completely, the gate 7 as shown in FIG. 5 (c) drops to the direction of arrow f ₂ about the support pin 6, to recover the Yunitoraru state .

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, even when a nonstandard medium is forcibly inserted, jamming of the medium can be prevented, and no downtime of the apparatus can be prevented.
