Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a business card printing device that has a plurality of small print rings arranged in parallel and prints dates and the like on business cards.

It is strongly desired, especially in business relationships, to use a business card with a date on it when handing out a business card, but to date no date stamp has been found that is suitable for this purpose. Date stamps made of ordinary rubber stamps have large fonts and also have the problem of staining business cards.

The present applicant previously applied for a similar printing device for business cards, but the device had the disadvantage that it could not be made sufficiently thin due to its structure.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a business card printing device that is thin and can maintain the quality of business cards. A printing device for printing business cards, etc. includes a receiving member having a concave portion for accommodating a plurality of business cards, a lid-shaped actuating member rotatably connected to the receiving member by a connecting portion, and a lid-shaped operating member attached to the receiving member. , comprising a plurality of parallel small printing rings made of steel or the like and means for holding each printing ring in an adjusted position, and a sloped portion at one end of the recess allows one business card to be actuated as an actuating member. It is characterized in that it is guided to a predetermined printing position between the printing ring and an indented mark such as a date, etc., which does not use ink, is formed by pressing the actuating member.

The present invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

1, 2, and 3 show a business card printing device according to the present invention, in which a recess 2 is provided on the upper surface of a receiving member 1 made of, for example, synthetic resin.
It can accommodate several business cards inside. The right end in the longitudinal direction of the concave portion 2 is formed in a sloped portion 3 to facilitate the feeding and removal of business cards for printing, and the base portion 4 at the right end of the sloped portion 3 is used for printing. A printing ring 5 for printing and a stopper 6 for positioning the business card during printing are provided. The right end of the receiving member 1 is connected to a flat lid-shaped actuating member 8 by a connecting portion consisting of an integral hinge 7.
The actuating member 8 is held in the non-actuating position and rotatably supported by the spring action of the hinge 7. The actuating member 8 is in the form of a lever and is adapted to cover a portion of the receiving member 1. Receiving member 1
As shown in FIG. 4, a printing ring 5 made of steel and having a diameter of 10 mm, for example, is rotatably supported on a shaft 9 supported by a shaft 9 . Since the main use of the printing device according to the present invention is date stamping, the printing ring 5 of the same shape has 6
As shown in FIG. 5, the printing ring 5 includes a printing part 10 having backing numbers of 0 to 9, and a heading character part 11 having a smaller diameter than the printing part 10. It is formed in one piece. Printing section 10
engraved characters 12 are formed in a protruding manner, and in the index character portion 11, a regular index character 13 is engraved on the diametrically opposite side of the engraved characters 12. In a normal state where no printing is performed, a clearance of about 0.5 mm is provided between the printing section 10 and the operating member 8, which is sufficient for a business card to pass through. In the embodiment, the inscriptions 12 on the printing part 10 are numbers 0 to 9, but if necessary, dots, blanks, etc. can be provided, for example, the entire circumference can be divided into 10 or more equal parts. or,
One printing ring 5 indicating the year, for example 55, 80
It may also be a series of two-digit numbers starting with .
A V-shaped groove 14 is formed between the heading characters 13 in the heading character portion 11, and a receiving member 8 is inserted into this V-shaped groove 14.
The claw portion 16 of the leaf spring 15 fixed to is engaged,
For each printing ring 5, the printing ring 5 can be stopped at a position where one of the markings 12 is correctly directed upward. The printing ring 5 can be rotated by pressing the printing ring 5 from the back side of the receiving member 1 with a finger. Incidentally, this printing device also serves as a portable business card case, and can be stored, for example, in a leather case and carried in a pocket or the like.

When using, place your own business card or a business card received from another person into the recess 2 of the receiving member 1, and then
Rotate the desired printing ring 5 from the back side of the leaf spring 15 against the locking force of the claw portion 16 of the spring 15 so that the desired date appears on the heading character 13 of the heading character section 11. The claw portion 16 enters the V-shaped groove 14 of the printing ring 5 and locks the printing ring 5. When the topmost business card in the recess 2 of the receiving member 1 is fed with a finger, the slope portion 3 sends only the topmost one to the base portion 4 and brought into contact with the stopper 6. If the actuating member 8 is then pressed from above, a clear date will appear as a recess on the back of the business card. When the actuating member 8 is released, the actuating member 8 returns to its inactive position by means of the hinge 7 and the business card can be removed with a finger. Since the business card is made of relatively thick paper, the date can be sufficiently confirmed by pressing the inscription 12 to create a depression without using ink.

In the embodiment, the printing of the date has been described, but not only the date but also the number of a business card or other symbols may be printed.

As explained above, the business card printing device according to the present invention is thin because the printing ring is attached to the receiving member, and has an extremely simple structure. can be printed easily and reliably. Furthermore, since no ink or carbon paper is used, the business card will not stain clothing or the like even when carried around, will not degrade the quality of the business card, and will not give the recipient a sense of strangeness.
