Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable opening of pages of both longitudinal and lateral types of booklets by means of the same open-page means, by varying the traveling distance of a turning member for opening the page of a booklet according to the stitching direction of the booklet. CONSTITUTION:When a page of a longitudinal booklet P is opened, it can be opened through similar operation to that of a lateral booklet except the method of keeping the booklet with a weight. In other word, a turn roller 33 rotates to the left and a push-up plate 41 pushes up a booklet P' thus starting the turning operation. After turning, the turn roller 33 keeps rotation to the left and compares the situation with that in the case of a lateral booklet so as to allow laying-down of the turning page only after the turn roller 33 advances near to the right end. When the booklet P' is carried to the left and held between the rollers 47a, 47'a, the rollers, 48'a, 49'a, 50'a which keep the turned side with weights are retreated then the turn roller 33 is further advanced to the right so as to lay down the turning page completely and contact tightly, thereafter the booklet P is also carried to the left so as to contact more tightly. Since the traveling distance of the turning member is varied according to the stitching direction of booklet, the page can be turned reliably according to the type of booklet.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is applicable to automatic teller machines installed in banks, for example.
The present invention relates to a Japanese processing device installed in an ATV (ATV) that opens a bankbook.

(Prior Art) The passbook printer installed in an automatic cash withdrawal system (ATM) has a printer that automatically turns over the page when the print line exceeds the page and attempts to print unrecorded information. Shida Akebono has been developed and implemented to enable printing.

By the way, there are two types of passbooks: vertically opening passbooks (in the industry, they are called No. 42 type passbooks) in which the thread seams are vertical, and
A horizontally opening passbook with horizontal seams (200 in the industry)
There are two types of passbooks: No. 0 type passbook.

Therefore, dedicated automatic page opening mechanisms are used for both of the above-mentioned types of Tsuyu S, and various ideas have been put into practical use.
Vertically opening bankbooks are often used because they have a method of turning them using the movement of turning rollers.

How to turn the pages of the horizontally opening passbook mentioned above is a patent application issued in 1983-12014.
There are many attacks using 4@, but the main actions are as follows. FIG. 21 is a side view showing the turning structure of a horizontally opening bankbook, and numeral 11 in the figure is a transport path for the bankbook. Guides 15a, 15b, 18 are provided at the upper and lower parts of this conveyance path 11.
and movable guides 16, 17 are arranged. Also,
20 is a platen, and a print head 19 is provided above the platen 20. Reference numeral 25 denotes a turning roller, and the turning roller 25 is rotated and swung in the direction of the arrow by a lever 26. 12a, 1
2b, 13a, 13b and 14a, 14b are feed rows arranged along the conveyance path 11. Also, 2
9 is a push-up plate provided to be able to move up and down; 21
is a transfer paper stretched over the platen 20.

This turning mechanism is operated as shown in FIGS. 22 to 30. That is, when the bankbook passes through the printing platen 20, the conveyance movable guide 16 is in a position that closes the upper gap of the platen 20, and the leading edge of the bankbook P crosses this gap and moves to the conveyance roller 13a, as shown in FIG. 13b, the conveyance guard 16 retreats toward the print platen 20 to form a gap for page turning, as shown in FIG. In this state, when the push-up plate 29 is pushed up while rotating the turning roller 25 to the left, the passbook P
The top page pa of the page shifts and bulges as shown in FIG. At this time, when the swollen surface rises until a height detector (not shown) detects this swollen upper end surface, the push-up plate 29 descends to its original position and the turning roller 25 continues to rotate to the left. The turned page is flipped up as shown in Figure 26. In this state, as shown in Figure 27, the passbook P
If you move the pane to the left, a new pane will be flipped over.

In addition, for reverse re-rolling, the same operation is performed in Figures 28 to 3.
If it is done as shown in Figure 0, it will be possible to turn it over again.

In this way, the automatic page turning of horizontally opening bankbooks utilizes the transport of the bankbook to realize the turning and the close arrangement of pages after turning.

On the other hand, if you try to turn a vertically opened bankbook in the same way as above, you will have to turn the transport path in the direction perpendicular to the normal bankbook transport path (this is also necessary to index the printed lines). First, since this would make the entire bookkeeping machine large, it is thought to move the turning roller 25 in parallel to the right while rotating it to the left at the timing of moving the passbook (Figures 25 to 26). It has been realized.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional method, since the methods for vertical opening and horizontal opening are completely different, it is impossible to implement both in a machine with limited space, and it is difficult to choose one or the other. I had to choose first. For this reason, when both types of passbooks were mixed together, it caused a great deal of inconvenience to customers.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a booklet processing device that allows both vertical and horizontal types of booklets to be opened using the same page opening means. It is something to do.

[Positive Acid of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a transport means for transporting booklets having seams in a state of cabinet members, and a method for transporting booklets by this transport means. A turning body is provided at an angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the transport direction of the booklets, and a page opening means is provided to open the pages of the booklets by rotating the turning body in the 45 degree direction, The turning body is characterized in that its running distance is variable depending on the direction of the binding of the booklet.

(Function) By using the above means, the page opening means has a complex function, so that it is possible to open both types of booklets with the same mechanism.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to an example shown in FIGS. 1 to 20. FIG. 17 shows a horizontally opening passbook (No. 2000 type) P as a booklet, and FIG. 18 shows a vertically opening passbook (No. 42 type) P' as a booklet.

Each of the passbooks P and P' has a thread stitch 2.2 in the center for bundling the inner sheets 3 and 3 into a booklet, and each member turns the paper around this as shown in Figures 19 and 20. It is now possible to

In addition, a mark called a page mark 1.1' is preprinted on many pages, and the page or bankbook type, deposit account, etc. can be determined by reading this page mark 1.1'.

Note that although the positions of the page marks 1.1' are different between the bankbooks P and P, they may of course be placed in the same position.

Next, the page turning mechanism (page opening means) K will be explained.

FIG. 1 shows a top view of the page turning mechanism, and FIG. 2 shows a plan view thereof. In the figure, reference numeral 31 denotes a print head, and this print head 31 is driven parallel to the anvil 32 by an unillustrated 1IlI for printing.

Reference numeral 45 denotes a conveyance guide, and this conveyance guide 45 is in the position shown in the figure when the passbooks P and P' pass over the anvil 32, and prevents the passbooks P and P' from rising above the printing area, and from then on. moves to the right at the same speed as the passbook conveyance to the conveyance roller 46a.

47a, 46'a, and 47'a are designed to prevent the tip of the passbook from colliding with or coming out. Further, when the passbook P, P' stops at the automatic turning position, the conveyance guide 45 returns to the position shown in the figure to form an upper space for the turn page.

Moreover, 33 is a turning row as a turning body, and this turning row 533 is provided at an angle of about 45 degrees in the passbook transport direction. Further, the turning roller 33 is rotated by a motor 37 in forward and reverse directions via a drive belt 36 and timing pulleys 35 and 34. The block 33a of the turning roller 33 is moved back and forth by a lead screw 39 through a nut 38 as the motor 40 rotates at an angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the passbook transport direction. Grooves are cut into the surface of the turning roller 33 so that it firmly grips the passbook page and prevents it from slipping.

Further, the upper position of the turning roller 33 is spaced higher than the surface of a normal bankbook, so that it does not come into contact with the surface of the bankbook even when the bankbook is conveyed.

On the other hand, numerals 41 and 42 in the figure are push-up plates, and these push-up plates 41 and 42 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the thread stitches 2 and 2 so that when the passbook is stopped at the turn page position, it turns forward and turns it backwards, respectively. It is set up. The push-up plate 41 is pushed up by the magnet 59 via the link 41a, and the push-up plate 42
Similarly, magnets can be used via links not shown.
It is designed to be pushed up independently.

In addition, the push-up plates 41 and 42 and the turning roller 3
The position No. 3 is slightly displaced in the horizontal direction, and the passbook is deflected in a slightly convex shape, thereby creating a misalignment between the pages and preventing the pages from being turned over.

Further, a lamp 43 and a light receiving element 44 are arranged at a position spaced apart above the passbook transport surface, and are adapted to detect swelling of the passbook page to be turned over.

On the other hand, on both sides of the passbook conveyance path, there are conveyance roller pairs 49a, 4.

51b and 48'8.48' b, 49' 8°4
9'b, 50'a, and 50'b are arranged, all of which have rollers 49a, 50a, 51a, and 48 on the upper side.

The upper roller 49a and the roller 50'a are each individually attached to the bracket 62, and the roller 50a
, 51a and rollers 48'a, 49'a are integrally attached to the bracket 63. The brackets 62, 63 are rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 5.4, one end of which is connected to a solenoid 55, 56, and the other end biased downward by a spring 57, 58. Note that since the turning roller 33 runs, each of the brackets 62 and 62 has one roller 49a and one roller 50'.

48'a, 49'a, 50'a can be moved forward and backward.

Next, the operation of the above device will be explained.

First, the case of opening the side-opening bankbook P will be explained.

The passbook P is guided and conveyed by the width guides 61, 61', and when passing through the gap in the anvil 32 as shown in FIG. 3, the conveyance guide 45 covers the gap. At this time, all the upper pinch rollers 49a, 50a, 5
1a and 48' a, 49' a, 50' a
is lowered and driven by the force of the springs 57 and 58, the drive roller 49b.

50b, 51b and 48'b, 49'b.

50'b. As shown in FIG. 4, the passbook P is moved simultaneously with the conveyance guide 45 and sent to the auto-turn page position without the end of the passbook coming into contact with the turning roller 33.

After that, as shown in FIG. 5, the conveyance guide 45 is retracted, and the roller 4 holding down the negative side to be turned
8'a, 49'a, 49a are solenoids 55.56
' is turned on, the page is rotated about the rotating shaft 54 against the urging force of the springs 57 and 58, and a space is formed in which the page is retracted to the outside of the conveyance path and turned over. Next, the push-up plate 41 is raised via the link 41a by turning on the solenoid 59, and the turning roller 3
3 is rotated to the left by the operation of the motor 37, as shown in FIG. 6, and enters a turning operation. When the height of the top surface of the page swollen by this turning operation is detected by the sensors 43 and 44, the push-up plate 41 is lowered and the turning roller 33 is rotated to the left as shown in FIG. Due to the operation of the motor 40, it moves diagonally to the right along the lead screw 39. Due to this movement, the turning roller 33 is stopped when it reaches just before the thread stitch 2 of the page. At this time, the turning roller 33 is located approximately at the center of the passbook P in the width direction, approximately one half of the width thereof. Thereafter, the passbook P is conveyed to the left while the turning roller 33 is being rotated to the left as shown in FIG. Next, pinch roller 5 that is holding down the previous page
0a, 51a.

50'a is retracted out of the conveyance path by turning on the solenoid 56, 55', and the pinch roller 48'a on the turned-up side
The passbook P is further conveyed to the left while the passbook P is again pressed down with 49'a and 49a.

As a result, the turned page can be tightly attached without bulging and ready for the next printing.

Next, the case of opening the vertically opening bankbook P will be explained.

In this case as well, the opening operation of the horizontally opening bankbook P described above is almost the same, but the way the bankbook P is held down is different. That is, the first
As shown in Figure 3, the turning roller 33 rotates to the left and the push-up plate 41 pushes up the passbook P', and the turning operation begins.

It seems that the way of turning is quite different in Figure 6 and Figure 3, but this is because the viewing direction is different; in Figure 13, if you look from the left direction, it is turned up exactly the same as in Figure 6. It's working.

The difference from a side-folding passbook is that the conveyance of the passbook P' cannot be used to straighten a turned-up page and bring it into close contact with the next page.

Therefore, after turning the page, the turning roller 33 must continue to rotate in the left direction and proceed rightward until it is far near the end, as compared to FIG. 7, in order to turn over the turned page. At this position, the passbook P' is conveyed to the left, and the rollers 47a, 4
7' When a is pinched, roller 4 holding the turned up side
8'8.49' a.

50'a is evacuated, and then the turning row 533 is turned again.
The passbook P is advanced to the right, the pages are turned over completely, and the pages are brought into close contact with each other, and the passbook P is also conveyed to the left to further perfect this close contact.

When turning over the right half of a vertically opening bankbook P', if the right half completely escapes the pinch rollers, there is nothing to support the right side, and the bankbook's rigidity causes it to float up.

For this reason, when retracting in Figure 12, you can completely escape in the same way as the side-opening passbook P, and in Figure 13, you can completely suppress the turning movement.
The turning roller 33 returns the timing belts 49a, 50a, and 51a that run diagonally forward to the right to their original positions.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, pages of both horizontal and vertical booklets can be opened using the same page turning means, and both types of booklets are mixed. The pages can be opened reliably without causing any inconvenience to customers.

Furthermore, since the running color of the turning body is varied depending on the direction of the binding of the booklet, it is possible to turn over the pages reliably depending on the type of the booklet.
