Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to automatic printing resetting of a bankbook, which automatically turns over and prints on a bankbook used in a bank, for example.

In recent years, with the development of electronic computers, deposit operations in financial institutions such as banks are shifting to an online processing system using electronic computer storage devices as ledgers.

In addition, in the above-mentioned operations, transactions without a bankbook are increasing due to the spread of automatic transfers such as salary transfers, telephone charges, gas charges, etc., cash dispensers, automatic deposit machines, etc.
For these transactions, when the customer brings the passbook to the bank at a later date, the details of the transaction are printed out using the output from the storage device, so-called later printing (or other day printing) is performed. However, with the increase in transactions without a passbook, the number of lines printed at a later date (one line per transaction) is often 10 or more, and it is not uncommon for 3 or more lines to be printed at a later date.
Therefore, the information may not be accommodated on one page of a passbook and may span several pages. However, conventionally, the teller himself opens a predetermined page each time and inserts it into a teller's machine equipped with a passbook printing device. However, it is time-consuming for the teller to open the file himself/herself, which can cause processing delays, especially during busy periods.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic passbook printing device that automatically turns over and prints on predetermined pages.

Furthermore, when a printing command is received from the control section at a later date, the bankbook V is conveyed by one line and the above-mentioned operation is performed to print. When printing is finished, or when all open pages 1, 2, 3, etc., which will be printed at a later date, are printed, the conveyance rollers 38, ... and the feeding and nipping rollers 36 are reversely rotated. Return the passbook V to the position where the rear edge contacts the claw piece 27. Then, the second solenoid 35 is deenergized, the locking pawl 32a is engaged with the ratchet gear 30b, and the turning lever 30c is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise.
Close. If printing is in progress at a later date, the sub-base 20 is shifted by one page, the page is turned as described above, the page is conveyed to the printing unit 17 for printing, and then returned to the page-turning unit 15 again. Next, the rotary solenoid 26 is deenergized, the claw piece 27 is returned to its original position, and the bankbook V is conveyed to the insertion slot 13. The inserted passbook detector 14 detects the binding edge Va (the leading edge on the insertion side) of the passbook V and reports the ejection of the passbook to the control unit, and the passbook V is ejected from the insertion slot 13, completing all operations. Note that the printing section 1 in the above embodiment
7 is not limited to the one shown in the figure (numeric keypad system), but any structure that can reliably print on the bankbook V may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the printed bankbook V is returned to the insertion section 13a, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a separate discharge port may be provided so that the bankbook V can be discharged from there. As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of inner sheets having a printing field between the front cover and the back cover can be closed and received inside the insertion slot for accepting a bankbook in a closed state. A passbook turning means is provided for handling a predetermined page of the passbook, and a printing means is provided at the back of the passbook turning means for printing on the page of the passbook turned over by the passbook turning means. .

Therefore, printing can be performed on a predetermined page simply by inserting the passbook in the closed state, so that the passbook processing can be made more efficient. In addition, if a passbook is inserted with its pages turned over in advance and the turned page is incorrect, the passbook can be turned over to the correct page and then sent to the printing means, so there is no waste in the movement of the passbook and printing is possible. This has the effect that processing can be performed quickly. In addition, since the insertion slot, the page turning means, and the printing means are connected by a conveyance path so that the passbook can be inserted, taken in, and ejected, printing on the passbook and turning the pages can be done simply by inserting the passbook into the insertion slot. After performing this, it is automatically discharged, making it extremely convenient without requiring the operator to look at his or her hands.
