Authenticity Determination - To & Kere Tomo Magnetism 19 reads the magnetic stripe of the credit card 17 and determines the authenticity.If the result of the determination is that the credit card 17 is bent and deformed. When the contents of the credit card 17 are not legitimate, the shutter 20 prevents defective cards from entering the machine.If the contents of the credit card 17 are not legitimate, the fraudulent card is stored in the device as it is, so a card reject box is placed in the card transport route described later. 14b. When the credit card is a regular card, the credit card 17 opens the conveyance path 3, and the credit card 17 is conveyed along the conveyance path 3VC in the direction of arrow A1 by rollers R3 and R4.

Next, the card is sent to the card reader/writer s4, and the magnetic head 4a and roller R5 collate the code 4 of the credit card 17 and read the recorded sound.
It is then sent to the double swing 5a-fu 5. If the credit card 170 is judged and the *m honor code does not match, it will be returned to the receptacle 1. If the credit card 17 is not an official card, it will be loaded into the device as described below. On the other hand, the slip printing mechanism stores the continuous paper 181j in the paper feed s9 and sends it out in the direction of arrow B along the edge guide plate 9aiblC by the sprocket pulley 9C and feeds it into the printer section 7. Continuous paper 181 is sandwiched between 7a and platen 7b, and the print head 7a prints out the processing details according to instructions from printer W67. The printed continuous paper 18 is separated into a journal and a receipt, and the receipt is cut by a cutter s6. In the imprinter section 8, the receipt and journal are superimposed again, and the credit card 171 is rotated for 90 degrees to the position shown in the table swing mechanism [t5m] and pressed against the imprint roller 8J1, and the embossed data on the credit card 17 is pressed. After copying, in normal cases, the journal and receipt are separated again,
The journal is guided by the roller al+++Rt@ and the tension lever R11l and is wound into the winding s10 in the direction of arrow C. The receipt is transported 1 by rollers R8-R15VC.

The credit card 17 is returned to the table swing mechanism 5 from the position indicated by 5aK, sent to the card reader/writer 1!14 by rollers Re and R7, and then sent to the card reader/writer 1!14 by rollers R1R4.
It is transported along the transport path 3 in two directions indicated by arrow A.

The rollers R1 and R2 hold the credit card 17 and the above-mentioned receipt and eject them into the receptacle L. Line flicker 161 when discharging! blinks, the shutter 2r is opened, and the ejection sound is emitted to each person. After ejection, the card shutter 20 closes the conveyance path 3, and the card shutters 20 and 5a are in an open state with each other, and the friend credit card 17 is ejected. After the receipt can be taken out, the shutter 2 is lowered and closed.

However, if the receipt and credit card 17 are not weaved after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the VCl rollers Rr + R2, which are stored in the device, are closed, the rollers R1 + R2 are driven to rotate, and the credit card 17 7 is transferred again in the direction of arrow A1 VC through the card reader/writer section 4 by the card ejection mechanism 5bVC and is transferred in the direction of the arrow 7, and is then transferred in the direction of the arrow 3.゜114i
c Therefore, the receipt is sent out in the direction of arrow G and stored in the card reject box 14. On the other hand, the receipt is sent out in the direction of arrow G and stored in the card reject box 14.

By switching the gate 15, the direction II-changes to the conveyance path 12 and the arrow ? direction, and is ejected by the roller puller 2 in the direction of the arrow {circle around (2)} and stored in the receipt reject box 14m. Also,
During the processing, VC @ is generated and at 9 o'clock, the receipt and credit card 17ti are stored in the receipt reject box 14a and the card reject box 14b, respectively.

In such a slip creation device, if the credit card card is not legitimate and is deformed such as curved, or if it does not match the PIN number, it will be sent to Socket 1, but if it is a fraudulent card or the customer But I received only the paperback and credit card 1
If you forget to pick up the card, send it to the card reject box 14b I'C as a deposit. This feeding mechanism is incorporated into the table swing mechanism described above, and serves as a card ejecting mechanism as shown in Figure @2. As shown in the figure, guides 2 are attached to both IIg of the movable table 21.
2 are attached in a U-shape so as to surround the movable table 21 facing the circle 9IIIVc. Movable table 21Fi
Ig1 is attached to the tip of the roller R20y, which is rotatable upward around the shaft 28' and rolls into contact with the lower surface of the movable table 21.
wJ can be freely attached & L-shaped link lever 23 is supported by the support shaft 25, and 1g1 is rotatably attached to the other end of the link lever 23.
The link lever 23, which is connected to the spindle 27 of the plunger magnet Ml via the link 24'l, is provided with a recovery spring 29 for recovering when the plunger magnet Ml is released. A roller R'2G is provided coaxially with the roller 20. The credit card 17 is placed at the tip of the i=J moving table 21 as shown by the arrow A! Roller R61R7, which is fed by movable table 2LVC in the direction, is located, and roller R7
A belt 26 for transmitting drive is hung on the roller R6.
When the movable table 21 moves upward, the T-shaped link lever 30 is supported by the support shaft 32, and the plunger magnet M! A recovery spring 34 is attached to one end of the link lever 30 to release the plunger magnet Ml and restore it to 9 o'clock.

With such a structure, when the credit card 17 is a regular card and returns in the direction of the arrow mark 2 shown in the next section after the necessary printing process is completed, the credit card 17 is immediately inserted into one tube of the movable table 21. , the credit card passes through the receiving slot 1, and in the case of a fraudulent card or in the case of a credit card that has not been accepted by the customer for a long time, a credit card enters from the direction of the arrow ^1 and is placed on the movable table 21. When the plunger magnet M2'i is reached, the plunger magnet M2'i is released, the roller R6 is retracted upward in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the plunger magnet M1 is activated, the spindle 27 is pulled, and the lever 23 is moved clockwise in the figure around the spindle 251. As the roller R20 rotates and pushes up the table 21t, the movable table 21 rotates clockwise using the shaft 28 as a fulcrum and tilts at an angle O, and furthermore, the movable table 21 is tilted at an angle R'
20 ri Drive rollers R2, 6 installed in a separate factory
Touch Ic IjI and maintain the desired pressing force.

Then, by driving the drive low R, the credit card 17 can be sent out in the direction of the arrow in the figure.
15 and sent in the direction of arrow G, one credit card can be stored in the card reject box 14b.

However, as mentioned above, when a credit card is stored in the credit card slot, it is necessary to distinguish between the case of a fraudulent card and the case of a customer forgetting to receive the credit card, but with the conventional ejecting mechanism, Since the range is limited, these cards cannot be stored together in the card reject box 14b as described above.

Father, the drive roller 2s is a member of another unit, and a large force is required to handle the necessary pressing force, and strength is applied to each lever member.
Next. Furthermore, a mechanism for retracting the roller RIi'7 was also required. On the other hand, there is another conventional mechanism in which the IIK card reject box 14f is fed horizontally after installation, but this requires a redundant feeding mechanism and space.

<Problem> In the above conventional technology, there is only one reject box, and even if it is a fraudulent card, or a card with a PIN code taken in with a fraudulent code, or Even if the card is forgotten, JI! This has the disadvantage that even cards on which data is not recorded can only be accommodated in the same transfer box.

This decision will be made later, for example, even if a bank employee collects the cards in the reject box during machine closing time, which cards should be treated as fraudulent and should be released to the police, etc., and which cards should be submitted to the user's request at a later date. Therefore, it is not possible to determine which card should be handed over to the temporary guard.

<Purpose of the present invention> The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a card handling device that can later determine to which category a card belongs.

<Structure of the Invention> In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a number of reject boxes (@) are provided, and these reject boxes are selected and transferred according to type III. 〉 Fig. 2 shows one embodiment of the present invention! Figure 3 is a flowchart of the control unit.

In the figure, the same numbers as those used in Figure 111 are used for the same numbers.

An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below.

On the other hand, 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen sheets are counted and dispensed from the counter 38 of the cat 71 according to the customer's payout command, and stacked upward in the stack s39. The receipt a is placed on top of this piece of paper. Once the paper and the receipt are used, the credit card 17 is transferred straight from the imprinter section 8 to the original receptacle 1 as described above by the stacking downward direction VcI & feeding roller. Return to

The above is the process when the credit card 17 is a regular card. What if one credit card is found to be a fraudulent card due to the readings of the magnetic head 4a, or if the credit card 11 is inserted into the slot L? If the customer forgets to sell 9, the card is sent to the card ejecting mechanism 8e to be stored in the device.The card ejecting mechanism shown in 1141g1 is different from the configuration marked with *** in 1141g1 because it has nine rollers attached to the movable table 2111C. R
Link lever 4 on axis 44 of =6! Ia 1 is fixed at an obtuse angle to the surface of the movable table 21, and connected to the spindle 41 of the plunger magnet Ml via a link lever 611r rotatably attached to the other end, tt link lever 45a (K is a plunger magnet) Ml A recovery spring 4I is attached to release and recover at 9 o'clock. In addition, the pulley 4mm is attached to the shaft 44, the pulley 4mb is provided as a drive source and is provided in a separate unit, and the K belt 41b is hung on it.Since it has the above configuration, when the plunger magnet Win1r is activated, , the link crane (45 m) is pulled, and the movable table 21 rotates clockwise around the shaft 44 and tilts. Since the pulley 431 is fixed to the shaft 44, the movable table 21 is moved by driving the pulley 43b. No matter what angle the table 21 is tilted to, the credit card on the movable table 21 1) t11! ! driven to come out. Therefore, the inclination angle t- of the movable table 21
