Abstract

PURPOSE:To emboss a character pattern by a small-sized mechanism, by individually not-controlling or controlling a plurality of head pins according to the character pattern and pressing a press roller having the grooves engaging with the leading ends of the head pins formed thereto to the surface of an embossing head so as to hold a bill therebetween. CONSTITUTION:A printing head is superposed to the character pattern on a bill 5 to perform embossing. The control of each head pin 6 of an embossing head is performed by utilizing the technique of a dot printer. A press roller 4 has a groove formed thereto at the position opposed to the head pin 6 and rotates while presses the surface of the embossing head so as to hold the bill 5 therebetween. When a solenoid 9 is turned OFF, an insert pin 7 is present under an engaging member 8 by a leaf spring 11 and, when the force of the press roller 4 is applied to the head pin 6 from below, the head pin 6 is pressed to the engaging member 8 through the insert pin 7 and the bill 5 is embossed by the groove of the press roller 4. When the solenoid 9 is turned ON, the insert pin 7 is attracted to the solenoid 9 and the head pin 6 freely moves and the bill 5 is not embossed. Therefore, an arbitrary character can be embossed by a small-sized mechanism.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A bill issuing device has a structure in which printed characters are engraved using an embossing head consisting of a plurality of bottles, thereby making the device smaller and compatible with arbitrary character patterns. made possible.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an eight-bill issuing device.

In particular, it relates to means for embossing (engraving) various character patterns using a small and simple mechanism.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a conventional bill issuing device.

In Fig. 7, 21 is a type ring and 22 is a type.

23 is a hammer, 24 is a solenoid, and 25 is a handprint.

The type ring 21 has a cylindrical shape, and on its circumferential surface are nine characters of various numbers having indentations for embossing.

Printed characters 22 of symbols (hereinafter collectively referred to as "characters") are set up.

The hammer 23 has unevenness on its upper surface that engages with the embossing notches of the type ring 21.

The solenoid 24 is for driving the hammer 23 toward the type wheel 21.

The operation of the conventional bill issuing device will be explained below.

A handprint 25 is inserted between the type ring 21 and the hammer 23.

Next, the type wheel 21 is rotated to select a predetermined type from among the type 22, and the hammer 23 is driven by the solenoid 24 to print and emboss it on the handprint 25.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventional bill issuing devices use numbers and some symbols.

Since there are at least a certain number of character types that must be prepared, and the size of each character is also almost fixed, the type wheel and hammer part of the embossing section will inevitably be large, and the entire device will inevitably become bulky. There was a problem with getting bigger. Furthermore, since one character is embossed at a time, a large amount of force is required to drive the hammer, which is one of the reasons why the device cannot be made smaller. moreover,
There was also the problem that the range of use was restricted because only the characters on the type wheel could be printed and embossed.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above problems by embossing in a dot format.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the basic configuration of the second invention in an exemplary manner, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the basic configuration of the first invention.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, l represents a print head.

2 is a platen, 3 is an embossing head, 4 is a pressure roller, and 5 is a handprint.

A print head 1 prints character patterns such as a company name and an amount in dot format on each bill 5.

The platen 2 carries the bill 5 together with the print head l when printing.
Hold down.

The embossing head 3 has a plurality of head pins arranged perpendicular to the feeding direction of one handprint 5, and each head pin is individually uncontrolled or controlled according to the character pattern, and the head pin in the non-controlled state is attached to the surface of the handprint 5. The head pin, which is freely movable in the vertical direction and is configured to be held in place in a controlled state, inscribes the printed characters.

The pressure roller 4 has a cam-like shape.

At a position facing each of the plurality of head pins of the embossing head 3, a concave groove that fits into the tip of each head pin is formed along the circumference. It is configured to be driven to press and rotate, and performs embossing together with the embossing head 3.

In Figures 1 and 3, print head 1 and embossing head 3
Although an example is shown in which the embossing head 3 has a printing function without providing the printing head 1 and the platen 2. In this case, an ink ribbon or the like is inserted between the embossing head 3 and the handprint 5.

[Effect]

In FIGS. 1 and 3, a bill 5 is inserted between the print head 1 and the platen 20, and characters such as a company name and amount are printed on the bill 5 in the form of dot images using a printing pad 1. For this purpose, well-known dot printer technology is used.Next, an embossing pad 3 and a pressure roller 4 are used to emboss the letter pattern on the handprint 5, which has been previously printed by the print head 1. Dot printer technology is also used to control each head pin of the embossing head 3.

FIG. 4 shows the state of the handprint in each head.

Figure 2 shows how the embossing is done, and Figure 5 shows the progress of the embossing.
As shown in the figure.

A plurality of head pins 6 are installed on the embossing head 3. The degree of freedom of vertical movement of each head pin 6 is controlled according to the emboss position determined based on the pattern of characters to be embossed.

That is, the head pin controlled to perform embossing is restrained at a predetermined protruding position and is restricted from retreating upward in response to a force from below.

On the other hand, uncontrolled head pins do not emboss.

It is possible to freely move upward within a certain distance in response to forces from below.

The pressure roller 4 has a cam shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and has a concave groove formed at a position opposing the head pin 6. This concave groove engages with the head pin 6 via the handprint 5, thereby embossing the three handprints 5.

The embossing positions are print head L and embossing head 3.
Since the distance between them is known, it can be controlled by the number of pulses for feeding one sheet.

When the embossing head 3 is provided with a printing function, an ink ribbon or the like is inserted between the head pin 6 and the handprint 5, and the pressing force of the head pin 6 prints on the handprint 5.

Figure 2 shows the case where the embossing is done in a stripe shape, and Figure 5 shows the case where the embossing is done in the shape of a dot. This is done by increasing the number of embossing,
Embossing is done in a dot-like manner by increasing the number of pulses for two paper feeds and decreasing the number of embossing.

〔Example〕

FIGS. 6A and 6B are explanatory diagrams of the operation of the embossing head.

In FIG. 6, 4 indicates the pressure roller 25 is a hand.

6 is a heft bin, 7 is an interpolation pin, and 8 is a locking member.

9 is a solenoid, and 10.11 is a leaf spring.

The pressure roller 4 has a cam-like shape.

A concave groove that fits into the tip of the head pin 6 is formed along the circumference at a position facing the head pin 6, and is driven to rotate while pressing the surface of the embossing head with the handprint 5 in between during operation. The embossing is performed together with the head pin 6.

The head pin 6 is supported by a temporary spring 10.

The characters on the handprint 5 are embossed together with the pressure roller 4.

The interpolation pin 7 is supported by the temporary spring 11.

When not embossing, the solenoid 9 is suctioning. When embossing, the solenoid 9 is turned off, and is inserted between the head pin 6 and the locking member 8 by the force of the leaf spring 11, thereby applying the repulsive force of the locking member 8 to the head pin 6.

The locking member 8 acts as a detent member for the head pin 6 via the intervening pin 7 .

The solenoid 9 acts to attract the intervening pin 7 when it is ON, and acts to release the attraction of the intervening pin 7 when it is OFF.

The temporary spring IO is for supporting the head pin 6.

The temporary spring 11 is for supporting the first interpolation pin 7.

FIG. 6(a) shows the state without embossing.

In this state, the solenoid 9 is turned on and the two pins 7 are attracted to the solenoid 9 against the force of the temporary spring 11. Therefore, even if the handprint 5 is passed through the head pin 6 and the force of the pressure roller 4 is applied from below, the head pin 6 does not rebound against it, so the handprint 5 is not embossed.

FIG. 6(b) shows the embossed state. In this state, solenoid 9 is turned off and 9
Since the interposed bottle 7 is not attracted by the solenoid 9, it is brought to a position below the locking member 8 by the force of the temporary spring 11. Therefore, when the force of the pressing roller 4 is applied from below through the handprint 5 to the head pin 6, the head pin 6 is pressed against the locking member 8 via the interposed pin 7, so that the handprint 5 along with the groove provided on the pressing roller 4 is pressed against the locking member 8. emboss.

In addition, the locking member 8 is made into a solenoid to prevent unnecessary dirt from being added to the handprint 5 when not embossing.
It is preferable to turn on the locking member 8) to forcibly attract the head pin 6 to the solenoid (locking member 8).

To give the embossing head 3 a printing function.

Insert an ink ribbon or the like between the head pin 6 and the handprint 5. Printing is performed simultaneously with embossing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the present invention, since a type wheel is not used and the structure of a part of the hammer is small, the entire device can be made smaller. Also,
Embossing is done using Don't Image, so any text can be embossed.
