is provided. The cutter 12 cuts the recording paper 3 at a desired position by protruding across the feeding path through which the recording paper 3 is sent by electromagnetic means or the like and into the receiving groove 13 facing the recording paper 3 at a desired position, thereby producing a receipt (recording paper).
A piece of recording paper cut out from an exit 11 and on which desired transaction information and service information are printed is issued to the customer as a receipt. Reference numerals 14 and 15 are cabinets of the main body of the cash register.

By the way, when issuing a receipt with the configuration shown in FIG. 1 above, the recording paper 3 from the roll paper 2 is placed at printing position A.
The monetary transaction information is printed by the printer head 7 and sent upward in sequence in relation to this printing operation, and when the printing of the transaction information for a certain customer is completed, the paper is further fed and the paper is then printed at printing position B. In order to issue the next receipt, a stamp 9 prints service information such as the store name at a predetermined interval from the transaction information recording position, and a cutter 12 prints the desired information between the transaction information and the service information such as the store name. Cut the recording paper 3 at the position and release the receipt exit 1.
1, a piece of recording paper on which transaction information and service information are printed is issued as a receipt.

In this case, the feeding path of the recording paper 3 from the printing position A to the receipt outlet 11 is provided in a straight line extending from the bottom to the top; for example, as shown in FIG. If the leading edge of the recording paper 3 is stopped for some reason while the recording paper 3 is being fed out sequentially, the recording paper 3 may become stuck during the feeding path from the printing position A to the receipt outlet 11. There were frequent cases of bending and paper jams.

The present invention has been improved to prevent paper jams as described above, and has the configuration shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, the recording paper 3 from the roll paper 2 installed in the recording paper storage section 1 is guided to paper feed rollers 6, 6' by guide plates 4 and 5. ', the paper is further guided upward by the guide plates 4 and 5 and sent to the printing position A between the printer head 7 and the platen 8. Money transaction information is printed on the recording paper 3 at the printing position, and the recording paper 3 is sequentially sent upward in relation to this printing operation. The printer head 7 forms a character pattern using a dot matrix and is swept in the width direction of the recording paper 3.

The recording paper 3 from the above printing position is sent to the service information printing position B between the stamp 9 on which service information such as the store name is printed and the stamp receiving plate 10 placed opposite thereto, and is sent to the service information printing position B for predetermined monetary transactions. After recording the information, the service information is printed. The stamp receiving plate 10 is attached to a support member 17 with a spring 16 so as to be movable in the stamping direction of the stamp 9, which is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the recording paper 3.

The paper is fed from the printing position B to the receipt (recording paper) outlet 11 located further above in order to issue a receipt, but there is a cutter 12 at a position slightly below the receipt outlet 11 and a receiving groove for the cutter 12 opposite to the cutter 12. 13 are provided. The position of the stamp receiving plate 10 is provided so as to protrude slightly toward the feeding path side from the front opening position of the receiving groove 13. The cutter 12 has a receiving groove 1 facing across a feeding path through which recording paper 3 is fed by electromagnetic means or the like when issuing a receipt.
3, the record paper 3 is cut at a desired position, and the cut record paper piece on which desired transaction information and service information are printed through a receipt outlet 11 is issued to the customer as a receipt. Reference numerals 14 and 15 indicate a cabinet of the cash register main body, and the direction in which the recording paper 3 is delivered upward from the above-mentioned receipt (recording paper) outlet 11 provided in this cabinet is located at a position above the above-mentioned receipt (recording paper) outlet 11. Receipt issuing route changing board 18 having a guide plate 18A for converting the direction into a substantially right angle direction (lateral direction)
is arranged to cover the opening 11.

The receipt issuing route changing board 18 includes a guide plate 18A that changes the feeding direction of the recording paper 3 sent upward from the exit 11 in the direction of arrow A, and a guide plate 18B that extends in the opposite direction to the guide plate 18A. In addition, between the guide plate 18B and the cabinet 15, when the leading edge of the recording paper 3 fed in the direction of the arrow A is caught for some reason, the deflection of the recording paper 3 is indicated by the arrow as shown by the dotted line. It is configured as a part that allows the recording paper 3 to escape in the B direction and accommodates the deflection of the recording paper 3.

Therefore, the above-mentioned receipt (recording paper) exit 11
By equipping the receipt issuing route change plate 18 above, the receipt (recording paper) exit 11
When printing the financial transaction information while sequentially feeding the recording paper 3 upward from the recording paper 3
The tip is guided in the direction of arrow A by the action of the guide plate 18A. Recording paper 3 in the direction of arrow A
If this leading edge gets caught for some reason while being fed, a deflection occurs below the change plate 18 in order to feed the recording paper 3 sequentially, but the guide plate 18B of this change plate 18 and Since a relief (space) is provided between the cabinet 15 and the cabinet 15, the deflection is formed in the direction of arrow B, and the deflection is accommodated in the portion that becomes the relief. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the recording paper 3 from being bent in the feeding path of the recording paper 3 between the printing position A and the receipt (recording paper) outlet 11, and it is possible to avoid paper jams in this feeding path. It is something.

As described above, in the present invention, the receipt issuing route changing board has a guide plate at a position above the receipt (recording paper) exit of the register in a direction perpendicular to the sending direction of receipts sent out from the exit. is disposed to cover the receipt (recording paper) outlet, thereby providing a passage from the outlet that is open at both ends perpendicular to the outlet, and receives the receipt sent from the outlet on one open side of the orthogonal passage. The receipt is guided by the changing plate to send out the receipt, and the bent part of the receipt is guided from the outlet to the opening side opposite to the receipt sending direction, and the receipt is changed in a direction perpendicular to the outlet. Since the deflection of the receipt is guided to the opening side opposite to the opening side where the receipt is issued, if the tip of the receipt gets caught for some reason, the direction is changed to the right angle direction of the receipt. Deflection occurs in the part, but this deflection is sent to the opening side opposite to the opening side of the receipt as the receipt is fed, and even if this deflection becomes large, there is still an open passage. It has the characteristics that deflection can be guided sequentially and that no extra load is applied to the receipt feeding operation.
