Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for issuing tickets or numbered tickets for railways, buses, etc., and provides a simple and reliable printing member. Furthermore, by eliminating the generation of unnecessary tickets when printing information is changed, unnecessary ticket removal devices, etc. are completely unnecessary.
To provide a device that can always issue correct tickets or numbered tickets.

The main element of the issuance layer for this type of numbered ticket etc. installed on buses etc. is changing the date as variable information, but in conventional equipment, this switching device is extended outside the equipment. Therefore, it is necessarily a fixed method.

Functionally, the subordinate switching device must be associated with a moving printing member, but its construction means is extremely complex, requiring a large number of gears and a group of gears, as shown in Figure 9. At the same time, the device requires a lot of space. To explain the configuration with reference to FIG. 9, la is a printing wheel, 2a is a gear coaxially and integrated with the printing wheel la, 3a is an intermediate gear, and 4a is a fulcrum gear, each of which is rotated by the swing lever 7a. freely held. A fixed switching drive gear 5a is directly connected to a shaft 6a, and the shaft 6a is provided with a switching dial extending outside.

Reference numeral 8a denotes an auxiliary lever that drives the swing lever 7a, and is connected to a separate motor or solenoid to transmit its operation. As mentioned above, in the first conventional example (FIG. 9), by turning the switching dial (not shown), the gears 5a to 4a, 3a
By further rotating the gear 2a of the printing mechanism la, the printing contents can be varied. In the printing operation, the swinging lever 7a is moved forward by the auxiliary lever 8a, thereby rotating around the fulcrum shaft 4a' and printing by pressure on the ticket paper 10a on the printing stand 9a. As mentioned in the introduction, in order to associate a movable printing member with a fixed switching dial,
This method requires a large number of gears, and is extremely unstable as it tends to cause misalignment of the printing position due to meshing backlash between the gears. Furthermore, the required space is large, and there is a fundamental problem that the entire device cannot be miniaturized. Another conventional example will be explained based on FIG. 10. The printing mechanism 1b has a gear 2b, which performs printing operation in the vertical direction with respect to the printing stand 9b, and which is connected to the gear 5b of the fixed switching dial 11b. indicates a method that is not directly connected.

According to this method, the required space may be small, but since the gears are disengaged from each other during the printing operation, a reliable positioning device is required on both sides. Also, if a positional shift occurs during the movement, the switching dial 11b and the printing mechanism
This has a major drawback in that the settings are inconsistent with b and the function is impaired. Furthermore, since the gears collide with each other each time a printing operation is performed, wear is accelerated and breakdowns are frequent. In particular, it is completely unsuitable for use in battles with vehicles such as buses, which have strong vibrations. Although Figures 9 and 10 of the above-mentioned subordinate example are side views and only outline, the thickness in the wisteria direction of the printing theory is also
In addition to the thickness of the printing theory, it requires a lot of space.

In other words, it requires a large amount of space in the direction of transport of the ticket,
It is also difficult to functionally arrange it within the limited longitudinal dimensions of the ticket. In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention is a ticket issuing device that is provided with a printing device having a simple configuration, which makes the device smaller and has a structure that is less prone to failure.

Therefore, since the switching dial 10 is located upward in the non-printing state, it is close to the display window 93 and the display characters 12 can be visually confirmed from the outside via the indicator 39. Furthermore, when the opening/closing door 96 is opened, the knob 13 of the switching dial 10 can be grasped by hand, so that information can be easily changed. Reference numeral 85 indicates a cutting section that transports the ticket to a predetermined length and then cuts it into a predetermined length, but its detailed structure and operation will be omitted.

Next, based on Figure 8, although there are some points that overlap with the above,
The arrangement of each printing element, which is the gist of the present invention, will be explained.

B shows a so-called completed ticket on which all the characters have been printed and cut to a predetermined length L' by the cutting section 85, A shows the information printed by the variable printing wheel 1, and the opening is the link The ticket number printed by the number machine 28 is shown, and C shows the ticket name or company name printed by the fixed stamp 34.

Since FIG. 8 shows the state when each printing element is in contact with the ticket surface, if the first ticket from the cutting part 85 is
, this is an illustration that the joseni has already been printed, but originally, immediately after the ticket is issued, the josenii on the B part is printed,
The ticket name, etc., and the ticket number slot in part B2 are not printed. Therefore, the ticket number slot and ticket name C printed on B are those that were printed in advance at the B2 position before the information A was printed on the B ticket at the B position, and the ticket length L This is what has been transported and brought to section B in the figure. As mentioned above, in part B, the ticket name etc. (c) and the ticket number slot are printed and brought in, but information (a) of variable printing theory 1 is not printed, so in this state, The information in the variable printing theory 1 can be changed, and since the ticket is cut immediately after printing and immediately sent out of the machine as a completed ticket, no unnecessary tickets are generated.

According to the above embodiment, the axial direction of the support shaft 9 of the variable printing wheel 1 is the same as the direction in which the ticket is transferred, and the variable printing wheel 1 and the corresponding switching dial 10 are coaxially connected to the support shaft 9. Furthermore, the support shaft 9 is rotatably held by the two left and right frames 19 and 24, and the variable printing wheel 1 and the lotus number 28 are connected between the two left and right frames 19 and 24. The variable printing wheels 1 are arranged side by side so as to be close to each other, and the variable printing wheel 1 is adjacent to the rear of the ticket cutting section 85, and the number machine 28 is disposed behind it, and furthermore, the variable printing wheel 1 is arranged adjacent to the rear of the ticket cutting section 85, and the number machine 28 is disposed behind it, and furthermore, the variable printing wheel 1 is arranged adjacent to the rear of the ticket cutting section 85, and the number machine 28 is disposed behind it, and furthermore, the variable printing wheel 1 is arranged adjacent to the rear of the ticket cutting section 85, and the number machine 28 is arranged behind it, and furthermore, the variable printing wheel 1 is arranged next to the rear of the ticket cutting section 85. Since the fixed stamp 34 is disposed in the fixed stamp 34, no unnecessary tickets will be generated even if the information of the variable printing theory 1 is converted.

Variable printing theory 1 does not require any gears for switching as explained in the conventional example, and does not require a space that protrudes greatly from the width of the stamp surface in the direction of paper transport, that is, the width direction of the printing wheel. It has become possible to approach the section 85.

In addition, the switching dial 10 is directly connected to the support shaft 9 of the variable printing wheel 1 and works together during the printing operation, so it eliminates the drawbacks mentioned in the conventional example and achieves a significant downsizing, making it especially suitable for narrow buses. It is ideal for issuing devices such as numbered tickets installed inside cars.

The switching dial 1 is stored inside the device (inside the opening/closing door 96), so even if it moves up and down in response to the printing operation,
Since it does not come into contact with the human body, there is no problem at all, and by providing the display window 93 on the main surface of the device, the setting display of the switching dial 10 can be easily checked visually even in a non-printing state.
By opening the side opening/closing door 96, switching operations can be easily performed from the outside, and by closing the opening/closing door 96, it is possible to protect the inside of the device from dirt, dust, etc. entering from the outside. What is variable printing theory 1 and Ren number device 28?
Since it is disposed between the two left and right frames 19 and 24, ink can be supplied by one ink roll 56, which improves handling and is also economical.

Further, at both ends of the frames 19 and 24, the ink roll 5
5 is guided, very stable ink supply can be achieved.

As described above, according to the present invention, by configuring an extremely simple printing member that corresponds to the ticket transport mechanism, unnecessary mechanisms can be significantly simplified, and the space occupied by the printing member itself can be reduced. The object of the present invention is to provide an excellent ticket issuing device that realizes a smaller overall device and a structure with fewer failures.
