Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an opening/closing device that is provided at a ticket entrance such as a ticket input slot or a ticket return slot of an automatic ticket inspection device and opens and closes the ticket exit or entrance.

The purpose of closing ticket entrances and exits is to stop the use of devices such as automatic ticket checking machines and to prevent tickets from being inserted.

However, conventional opening/closing devices simply put a lid on when closing the ticket entrance/exit, and the lid easily opens when a person's body touches it, making it unsatisfactory as an opening/closing device. It wasn't something.

The object of this invention is to provide an opening/closing device for a winding inlet/outlet which eliminates the above-mentioned inconveniences.

The opening/closing device of this invention has a sliding type shutter for opening and closing the ticket exit or entrance provided near the top surface of the frame of the ticket inspection stand, which moves in the front and back direction, and a shutter located behind the exit or entrance inside the frame. The tip of a substantially Z-shaped locking member for locking the shutter is placed on the side near the end, and the rear end on the opposite side of the tip is attached to the frame with the axis that is the center of rotation of the locking member being placed. A spring is provided for biasing the tip in the direction of the shutter, and the spring is located at a predetermined position slightly behind the front end of the shutter and slightly in front of the rear end of the shutter. An engaging portion is formed at a predetermined position to engage with the tip of the locking member to stop movement of the shutter.

Therefore, according to this invention, the sliding shutter is locked by one locking member when the ticket exit or entrance is open and closed, and only when a person's body comes into contact with the shutter. You can unlock it and keep it intact.

Moreover, since the locking member only needs to be assembled in one piece, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

Moreover, when the rear end of the locking member is pushed by hand, the locking member rotates around the shaft and separates from the engaging portion of the shutter, so that the lock can be easily released.

By releasing the lock in this way and simultaneously moving the shutter, the ticket exit or entrance can be opened or closed.

Furthermore, since the rear end of the locking member is provided on the side of the frame where it is not easily seen, tampering can be prevented.

Even if the rear end of the lock member is pushed and unlocked for some reason, when the pushing force is gone, the spring force will return to its original state and lock the shutter again. The open/closed state is maintained as it was, and the open/closed state is not easily reversed as in the conventional case.

In this invention, with respect to the ticket entrance and exit, the front in the direction in which the ticket entrance is closed by the shutter is defined as the rear in the direction in which the ticket entrance is opened by the shutter.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the vicinity of the ticket slot of the automatic ticket inspection device.

1 is the frame of the ticket inspection stand of an automatic ticket inspection device, which includes a top frame 2, a front frame 3, a side 1lffi frame 4.59
Consisting of

A ticket entrance 6 is provided on the upper surface of the frame 1.

A sliding shutter 7 for opening and closing the ticket entrance 6 is provided above the ticket entrance 6.

The shutter 7 moves in the front-rear direction (arrow A-B direction) along a side guide (not shown) to open and close the entrance 6. A tip 9 of a substantially Z-shaped locking member 8 for locking the shutter 7 is arranged.

A shaft 10 is provided at the center of the locking member 8.

A locking member 8 made of a substantially Z-shaped metal piece is rotatably mounted around a shaft 10.

The rear end 11 on the opposite side of the front end 9 across the shaft 10 is
It has the shape of a push button and is arranged in direct relation to the position of the hole 12 drilled in the side surface of the frame 1.

The position of the rear end 11 in direct relation to the position of the hole 12 means that the rear end 11 may be located inside the frame 1 and be pushed by a finger inserted inside the hole 12.
This means that the rear end 11 may pass through the hole 12 and protrude to the outside of the frame 1, or the rear end 11 may be located within the hole 12.

In short, the rear end 11 needs to be placed in a position where it can be pushed by a staff member outside the frame 1.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a spring that biases the tip 9 of the locking member 8 in the direction of the shutter 5.

The spring 13 is a compression spring provided behind the tip 9 in this embodiment.

A pull tab 14 projects from the upper surface of the front end of the shutter 7.

At a predetermined position slightly behind the front end 15 of the shutter 7 and a predetermined position slightly before the rear end 16 of the shutter 7,
Engagement portions 17 and 18 are formed which respectively engage with the tips 9 of the locking members 8 to stop the movement of the shutter 7.

In this embodiment, the four corners of the shutter are cut out, and the positions near the side edges of the cut out portions serve as engaging portions 17 and 18.

When the ticket entrance 6 is open, the engaging portion 17 of the shutter 7 and the tip 9 of the locking member 8 are engaged, and the (first
In the figure, when the shutter 7 is at the position indicated by the broken line), the shutter 7 is prevented from moving in the direction of arrow A.

Now, when the rear end 11 of the locking member 8 is pushed, the locking member 8 rotates clockwise around the shaft 10 against the spring 13.
The engagement between the engagement portion 17 and the tip 9 is released.

When the puller 14 is pulled in the direction of arrow A while pushing the rear end 11, the shutter 7 moves in the direction of arrow A and the entrance 6 is closed.

When the ticket entrance 6 is closed, the engaging portion 18 near the rear end of the shutter 7 is engaged with the tip 9 of the locking member 8, as shown by the dashed line, and the shutter 7 is moved in the direction of arrow B. It is designed not to move.

When moving the shutter 7 to open the entrance 6, it is preferable to pull the puller 14 in the direction of arrow B while pushing the rear end 11 of the locking member 8.

In the above embodiment, the substantially Z-shaped locking member 8 is arranged horizontally, but it may be arranged vertically.

In the embodiments described above, the corners of the shutter 7 are cut out to form the engaging portion 1.
7.18 is formed, but the engaging portion may be formed by providing a triangular notch at a predetermined position on the side edge while keeping the corners at right angles.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, the retaining portion may be formed by fixing legs 19, 20 at predetermined positions on the shutter 7.

Of course, in this case, the tip 9 of the locking member 8 will engage with the left side of the leg 19 and the right side of the leg 20.

In the above embodiment, the case where the opening/closing device is provided at the ticket entrance 6 has been described, but the same applies to the case where the opening/closing device is provided at the ticket exit.

In this invention, regarding the ticket entrance and exit, and the shutter, the forward direction is defined as the direction in which the ticket entrance is closed by the shutter, and the forward direction is defined as the end in the direction in which the shutter opens the ticket entrance.

If this definition is applied to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the entrance 6 is closed toward the front frame 3, so the one closer to the front frame 3 is called the front, and the one farther from the front frame 3 is called the rear. .

On the contrary, if the ticket entrance is opened toward the front frame 3, the one closer to the front frame 3 is called the rear, and the one farther from the front frame 3 is called the front.
