Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a scattering prevention mechanism for print recording media cut to a required length in various terminal devices.

For example, in terminals (POS terminals/registers) installed at multiple terminals with a controller installed in the center, receipts with various information printed on a recording medium wrapped in a roll are printed. After that, the cutter blade moves up and down, and the required length is guided out from the front gate, cut, and delivered to the operator's hands.

However, conventionally, when cutting the recording medium, the wound side of the recording medium is not rewound by a medium guide, a medium presser, etc., but the cut recording medium piece is in a free state, and the end of the recording medium is If the air flow in which the machine was installed was disturbed by someone opening or closing the door, etc., the recorded body fragments would be moved and sometimes fall onto the floor.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose is to print various information etc. on a recording medium wound in a roll and lead the data forward from the game 1 in a fixed position.
In various terminal machines etc. that cut to a required length with a cutting blade that is movable up and down with respect to ~, 17 sides of the gate located in front of the cutting blade are provided with a blade facing the gate. A medium scattering prevention device characterized by being equipped with a medium presser made of an elastic body that presses the guided recording medium pieces cut and separated by the cutting blade downward and holds them between the lower side of the game 1 and the like. This is accomplished by providing a mechanism.

The present invention will be explained below using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a medium scattering prevention mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view a and a side view showing the shape of the medium presser shown in FIG. State diagram C is shown.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a recording medium 1 on which various information has been printed by a printing unit of a terminal passes over a medium feeding plate 2 fixed to a terminal member, and a medium guide 3 fixed to the plate 2. The cutting blade 4 is guided forward (in the direction of arrow A) by the required length from the cutting blade 4 fixed to the terminal member.

At this time, when the leading edge of the recording medium 1 to be led out passes through the openings [,] 5a of the games 1 to 5, which are positioned in front of the cutting blade 4 and fixed to the terminal member, the leading edge of the recording medium 1 is The lower end of the medium presser 6 made of an elastic body such as a spring material, which is welded and fixed above 5a, is pushed up and elastically deformed as shown in FIG. 2C. It inserts between the eye 5a and the lower side 5b and projects forward of the gate 5.

Thereafter, the cutting blade 4 moves up and down as appropriate (in the direction of arrow B), and the blade portion (not shown) on the lower side cuts the recording medium 1.

A two-dot chain line 7 in FIG. 1 is a cutting line of the recording medium 1, and a recording medium piece 1' indicates a piece obtained by dividing the recording medium 1.

Such a recording medium piece 1' is partially held between the lower side 5b of the game 1-5 and the medium presser 6.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the medium presser 6 is provided at one location, but it may be provided at multiple locations if necessary, or a wide media presser may be used for recording. medium 1
It may be possible to suppress the entire width of the .

As explained above, the medium failure prevention mechanism according to the present invention lightly presses and holds the cut recording medium pieces into small pieces, so that they are not blown away by the wind and can be easily picked up by the operator. There are practical effects that can be maintained.
