As mentioned above, the upper guide plates 4 and 5 are separated into the front and back by the page turning mechanism so that the pages can be turned, and the upper guide plates 4 and 5 are opened into the upper space therebetween. The lower transport rollers 7 and 8 are driven by a drive motor 9 via a belt 10, and the upper transport rollers 11 and 12 are driven in contact with a bankbook inserted between them and the lower transport roller 7.8. It is set up like this.

The passbook conveyance path is provided with a conveyance guide 13 that can be opened and closed in a space above the upper guide plates 4 and 5 separated from each other, and is opened toward the space during conveyance through the passage 6. In addition, the drive part of the guide 13 is omitted from illustration in the figure. The page turning mechanism section is provided with paper hooking mechanisms 14 and 15 for hooking one sheet of paper inside the passbook. The paper hook 141M14.15 has a square bar extending parallel to the width direction of the passbook, and has claws 14a, 15a on the lower edge of one side.
is provided. Further, the mechanisms 14 and 15 can be moved up and down by solenoid type electromagnetic valves 16 and 17. A pin 18 is provided on the side plate 21 of the passbook conveyance path to mark the page section that is inserted into the curved portion of the turned page when the page is turned. This pin 18 projects from the side into the conveying path only when the page is turned by a rotary solenoid valve (not shown). The pins 18 are provided on both the left and right sides of the conveyance path (only one side is shown in the figure), and have a structure that allows them to operate simultaneously. Furthermore, the conveyance guide 13

is used to.

The forward turning operation of the page turning device constructed as above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2(a) to 4(f) and FIG. 4. First, the transaction data is printed on the printed page of the inserted passbook after being asked, and when it becomes necessary to turn the page to the next page, the passbook 6 is printed as shown in Figure 2 by a page turning command from the control unit (not shown). As shown in (a), the material is transported in the direction of arrow X within the transport path. The rear edge 6a of the passbook 6 is the sensor 1
9 (Sl), the passbook 6 is moved to the forward turning start position, that is, the paper hooking mechanism 15 on the insertion slot side, by step control.
It is transported to the position. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the rear edge 6a of the passbook 6 is positioned at the forward turning start position.
The center portion in the width direction is held down by the paper hooking mechanism 15, and at the same time, the conveyance guide 13 (shown in FIG. 2(a)) is pulled upward (see also FIG. 4). Next, Figure 2 (
As shown in C), the paper hooking mechanism 15 securely hooks the top sheet of the paper inside the passbook 6 while the passbook 6 is held at the rear edge 6.
It is transported in the direction of the arrow X until a is detected by the sensor 20C32). At this time, a curved portion 6C as shown in the figure appears on the turned page. In response to a detection signal from the sensor 20 (S2), a pin 18 is inserted into the curved portion 6c of the turned page to separate the pages, as shown in FIG. 2(d). At this time,
The paper hooking mechanism 15 is released from its holding operation and lifted upward. As roughly shown in FIG. 2(e), the pages are turned by continuing to convey the passbook 6 in the direction of the arrow X with the pin 18 inserted. Finally, as shown in FIG. 2 (f>), when the page turning is completed, the pin 18 is retracted to the outside of the conveying path, and the pin 18 is moved out of the conveying path by the signal S3 indicating that the passbook 6 has been conveyed to a predetermined position. The conveyance guide 13 moves downward into the space, and the forward turning operation is completed.

Note that confirmation that page turning has been performed normally is confirmed by a page mark reading device (not shown) comprising an optical sensor. The passbook 6 is fed in the Y direction and brought to the printing mechanism position again.

Next, the reverse direction turning operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3(a) to 3(f) and FIG. 5. This reverse direction turning operation is performed using the paper hooking mechanism 14 on the printing mechanism side in the same manner as the forward direction turning operation. When it becomes necessary to return the page, the bankbook 6 is conveyed in the direction of arrow Y until the front edge 6b of the bankbook 6 is detected by the sensor 20 (S2), as shown in FIG. When the passbook 6 reaches the reverse direction turning start position, that is, the position of the paper hooking mechanism 14 on the printing mechanism side under control, the conveyance guide is pulled upward, and the passbook 6 is turned as shown in FIG. 3(b).
The center portion of the front end in the width direction is held down by a paper hooking mechanism 14. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(C), the passbook 6 is held until the front edge 6b of the passbook is detected by the sensor 19 (Si) while one sheet of paper inside the passbook is securely caught by the claw of the paper hooking machine @14. The sheet is conveyed in the direction of arrow Y, and a curved portion 6C is formed on the turned page. In this state, sensor 19 (S
In response to the detection signal 1), the page division pin 18 is inserted into the curved portion 6C of the turned page as shown in FIG. 3(d), and the paper hooking mechanism 14 is released upward. Further, the bankbook 6 is continuously conveyed in the direction of the arrow Y while the pins 18 are engaged with the curved portions, and the pages are turned over.

FIG. 3(e) shows the state when the page is turned. Finally, as shown in FIG. 3(f), in response to the signal S3 indicating that the page has been turned and has been conveyed to a predetermined position, the page division pin 18 is retracted out of the conveyance path, and the page turning mechanism section is moved. The conveyance guide 13 is lowered into the space and the reverse turning operation is completed.
