Description

Game trading card cutting device

The present invention relates to a trading card cutting device for games, and more specifically, to a trading card cutting device for games, which can remove a margin portion of a certain width surrounding a plurality of card bodies from a printed trading card battery with a single cut. It is about a trading card cutting device.

Trading card game (TCG) is a game that uses cards designed based on a specific theme or rule. Trading cards used in games are cards with various designs printed on them, and they themselves can become objects of collection.

Trading cards are sold in the form of randomly packaging a predetermined number of cards among the cards that make up the series. Individuals who own overlapping cards can secure various types of cards by exchanging them with other users.

There are two types of trading cards: paper and electronic. Electronic cards are cards that allow you to play online games through a communication network and have been developed a lot recently. In addition, paper trading cards are produced in printing shops and are widely used not only by children but also by enthusiasts of various ages.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing a portion of the card battery 10 before cutting the trading card 11.

As shown, a number of trading cards 11 are printed on the card battery 10. The content printed on the trading card 11 has a specific theme, as mentioned above. For example, it may be a card made up of sports players such as baseball or soccer, or it may be a cartoon character.

A plurality of margins 13 are located between the trading cards 11. The margin 13 is an area that separates the trading card 11, and is an unnecessary part, so in order to obtain one finished trading card, the margin 13 surrounding the trading card 11 must be removed along the cutting line 12. Cutting can be performed by moving the cutter along the cutting line 12.

However, as shown, since the margin 13 has a width, for example, in order to separate the trading cards 11 neighboring on the left and right, two cutting lines 12 must be created through at least two cutting processes. Since all of them must be removed and one additional post-processing (push cutting) process is required, the cutting process may take a lot of time, and while performing multiple cutting processes, the cutting line (12) may be set incorrectly, causing the trading card (11) to be damaged. Not only may it be cut incorrectly, but unexpected damage may occur to the trading card 11.

Therefore, a device that can simultaneously cut multiple margins 13 including two cutting lines 12 through a single cutting process is needed.

Cards can be cut.

The lower cutting wheel 37 is a wheel-shaped cutter with a certain thickness that passes the lower shaft 35 through its center, and has second blades 37a on both sides of the outer peripheral surface. A part of the lower cutting wheel 37 is installed between the first blades 33a and overlaps by Z as shown enlarged in FIG. 2.

The depth Z at which the first and second blades (33a, 37a) overlap can be adjusted in various ways to suit the thickness of the card battery (10) being cut, but considering that the thickness of a typical gaming trading card is 0.25 to 0.3 mm. Then, the Z is preferably set to 0.8mm to 1.3mm. Since the first blade (33a) and the second blade (37a) overlap in this way, cross-motion between the blades is possible, and the card battery (10) (entered between the upper cutting wheel (34) and the lower cutting wheel (37)) Shearing is possible. In addition, the lower cutting wheel 37 must not only be position-adjustable along the longitudinal direction of the lower shaft 35, but also have a thickness corresponding to the width of the upper cutting wheel 34, that is, the gap between the cutter wheel halves 33. do.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of one cutter wheel half (33) constituting the upper cutting wheel (34) is 86.2 mm, and the gap (width of margin) between the cutter wheel halves (33) is 86.2 mm. It can be arranged at 10 mm, the diameter of the lower cutting wheel 37 is 86.2 mm, and the thickness (width) can be arranged at 10 mm. If the thickness of the lower cutting wheel (37) is significantly different from the gap between the cutter wheel halves (33), the card battery (11) is not cut and is not cut between the upper cutting wheel (34) and the lower cutting wheel (37). It gets stuck.

Meanwhile, the margin separation means serves to separate the margin from the trading card cut by the cutting unit. As shown in FIG. 3, the trading card 11 with the margin 13 cut is moved in the direction of arrow b, The margin 13 separated from the card battery 11 is guided in the direction of arrow c.

The margin separation means includes a margin discharge guide (41) and an induction curved plate (47).

As shown in FIG. 5, the margin discharge guide 41 is a curved member that extends in the longitudinal direction and is bent. The margin discharge guide 41 is supported on the horizontal support rod 23 through a connector 43.

The horizontal support rod 23 is a horizontal square bar whose both ends are fixed to the side wall 21a of the support structure 21. The horizontal support rod 23 is formed with a plurality of female screw holes 23a. The female screw holes (23a) are spaced at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the horizontal support rod (23).

The connector 43 is a member that connects the margin discharge guide 41 to the horizontal support rod 23. The connector 43 is provided with a vertical hole 43a and a vertical long hole 43b. Both the vertical hole (43a) and the vertical long hole (43b) are holes penetrating in the vertical direction and allow the screw (44) to pass through. The screw 44 fitted into the vertical long hole 43b maintains the fixation of the connector 43 to the horizontal support rod 23. And the screw 44 inserted into the vertical hole 43a is fixed to the female screw hole 41e at the top of the margin discharge guide 41, thereby fixing the margin discharge guide 41 to the connector 43.

The margin discharge guide (41) extends downward while being supported by the horizontal support rod (23) and is installed to enter between the cutter wheel halves (33), and passes the cut margin between the lower cutting wheels (37). . The cut margin 13 is pushed downward by the margin discharge guide 41 and exits in the direction of arrow c.

The margin discharge guide 41 is provided with a first extension part 41a, a second extension part 41b, and a third extension part 41c. The first extension portion 41a is a portion extending vertically from the horizontal support rod 23 toward the bottom 21c, and the second extension portion 41b is an upper cutting portion from the lower end of the first extension portion 41a. It is a part bent in the transport direction of the margin 13, between the wheel 34 and the lower cutting wheel 37, and the third extension part 41c is a part extending downward again from the end of the second extension part 410b. am.

One end of the second extension 41b and the bottom of the third extension 41c (i.e., the surface facing the lower cutting wheel 37) form a curved surface 41g, and the curved surface 41g is a cut margin. It is a curved surface that guides the transport of . The cut margin 13 is guided in the direction of arrow c while passing between the curved surface 41g and the lower cutting wheel 37.

The shape of the above-described margin discharge guide 41 is an example, and the length of the first, second, and third extension parts and the curvature of the curved surface 41g can be changed as long as it can perform the above function.

Also, the curvature of the curved surface 41g has a great influence on the traveling reflection of the cut margin, so it needs to be designed appropriately.

The curvature (R) of the curved surface (41g) is preferably set to about 43 to 44, preferably 43.5. If the curvature of the curved surface exceeds the above value, the cut margin is rolled up on the lower cutting wheel 37 and is not discharged. If the curvature of the curved surface is less than the above value, the cut margin is discharged together with the trading card 11. do. That is, the curvature (R) of the curved surface (41g) affects the direction of progress of the cut margin.

And when the gap between the cutter wheel halves (33) and the thickness (width) of the lower cutting wheel (37) is 10 mm, the width of the margin discharge guide (41) is designed to be 8 mm, so that the upper and lower cutting wheels (33) ,37) can be stably placed between them.

The guiding curved plate 47 is a plate-shaped member that guides the trading card 11, from which the margin 13 has fallen, to a path different from the moving path of the margin.
