The present invention relates to a bankbook printing adapter capable of forming an image desired by a customer on a cover of a bankbook used in a financial institution.

It is an automatic trading device widely used in financial institutions such as banks.It has a bankbook issuing function for issuing bankbooks to customers, and reads images such as photographs and illustrations brought by customers with an image scanner and displays them on the cover of the bankbook. Some may be printed and issued in color. (See Patent Document 1, for example.)

PCs are also available for general civilian use, and affordable color printers are also available. In addition, it is possible to store data created by a PC, photographed images of a digital camera, and the like on a compact disk medium, and for the purpose of identifying (managing) the compact disk medium, information is printed on the surface using the color printer. However, since the compact disc medium is rigid (inflexible), it cannot be bent and conveyed and is printed using a dedicated compact disc tray (see Patent Document 2, for example).

For printing onto a compact disk (optical disk), there is a conveyance tray provided with a concave portion in which an optical disk can be set. This concave portion includes a donut-shaped 12cm optical disk, an 8cm optical disk, and a rectangular card size optical disk (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

In the above prior art, a color printing function is retained in the device for color printing on the cover page of the account by the automatic transaction device. However, most of the printing to the account is sufficient for "black text" printing, and even in the case of color printing on a cover or the like, the frequency of issuance of the passbook is low, so that the color printing function is not added. In addition, when the color printing function is added, the size of the device is increased and it is not adopted.

A compact disk medium (optical disk), which is a rigid body, is a tray capable of printing onto a donut-shaped optical disk and a card size optical disk having a rectangular shape. In particular, the donut-shaped optical disc has a center engaging hole, and an insertion position with respect to the tray is determined, and even if the card size optical disk has a rectangular shape, the set position is determined with a central engaging hole. However, a medium having a booklet shape such as a bankbook having no coupling hole in the center is not considered.

The present invention has been invented to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an adapter for bankbook printing for printing information such as a pattern desired by a customer on a bankbook with an inexpensive facility.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a bankbook support portion having a recess for fitting a bankbook to be printed, a first bankbook regulating portion which protrudes into the recess to regulate the position of the section of the bankbook, A second bankbook regulation section is established to regulate the position of the front end of the bankbook.

An embodiment is described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a conceptual view of the use of the passbook printing adapter of the present invention, Figure 2 is a conceptual diagram of a passbook printing system using the passbook printing adapter of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an adapter for bankbook printing (hereinafter simply referred to as an adapter), and 2 denotes a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a PC) managed and maintained by a financial institution, and a keyboard portion for inputting information to be processed. (21) It consists of the liquid crystal color display (henceforth a display part) 22 which displays information, and the control part 23. As shown in FIG. In addition, the PC 2 has a connection port with an external device, for example, an image scanner 3 or a printer 4 to be described later is connected, and receives an external information recording medium 5, Information stored electronically in the information recording medium 5 can be read. The control unit 23 also includes a storage unit 231 (not shown), which stores information read from an editing program for editing an image, the information recording medium 5 or image information read by the image scanner 3.

The image scanner 3 is capable of reading a color image on the photograph 5a, and the code 4 is the above-mentioned printer which is line-connected with the PC 2, and prints character information and image information by a predetermined operation. You can print The printing method of the printer 4 is an inkjet method or a thermal transfer method, but a horizontal transfer method that allows printing to an optical disc as a printing medium. The program for operating the image scanner 3 and the printer 4 is preinstalled in the printer 4 and the PC 2, but from the image scanner function, the printer function, and the information recording medium 5; It may be a multifunctional printer capable of directly receiving information, or may be widely marketed.

1A is a plan view, FIG. 1B is an AA cross-sectional view in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view in FIG. 1A.

P is a bankbook to be printed, which shows an unfolded state in FIG. 1A, a printing area Pa is set on the upper side, and there is a buoy which is bound at the center. The four corners of the bankbook P are in the form of R (ar).

The adapter 1 is comprised in the state which fixed three layers of the surface part 11, the bankbook support part 12, and the die paper 13, respectively. The bankbook support part 12 is provided with the recessed part 12a of the double-page page size of the bankbook P, and is enclosed by the die paper 13 and the surface part 11, and maintains the bankbook P in a letter case shape. 11a is a first bankbook regulatory section covering approximately the bottom half of the left and right double-sided pages of the bankbook P, and 11b is a second bankbook regulatory section covering two corner portions on the upper side of the bankbook P. As shown in the figure, the second bankbook restricting portion 11b protrudes at an angle to the concave portion 12a so as to cover the corner portion of the upper end of the bankbook P. The bankbook P can be fixed to the adapter 1 by this surface part 11 side. In addition, the surface portion 11 uses the light transmitting member, so that the insertion state of the bankbook P can be confirmed.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an instruction mark for visually guiding the printer storage direction of the adapter 1, and is indicated on the surface of the adapter as an arrow, character information or city information. In addition, the indication mark 14 may be printed on the passbook support part 12, and may be made to pass through the surface part 11 which is a light transmitting member.

The base material of the adapter 1 is plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate and polycarbonate, and its external shape is about A4 size (210 mm in width, 297 mm in length), and about 3 mm in thickness. It goes without saying that the external size can be appropriately determined depending on the printer to be used.

The recessed part 12a shown in FIG. 1B has a depth H (for example, about 1.5 mm) corresponding to approximately half of the total thickness of the bank account closed at the surface of the adapter 1, and has an open bank account size (for example, horizontally). It is the size of adding a gap (for example, 0.5mm) to 140mm in width and 175mm in width. In addition, the periphery whole surface of the recessed part 12a, ie, the site around which the bankbook P fits, is made into the same plane, and it is comprised so that it may not interfere with printing and conveyance by the printer 4.

In addition, of course, the size of the recessed part 12a can be determined suitably according to the bankbook P to be used.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the concept of using the passbook printing adapter of the present invention, Fig. 4 shows the cross section arrow of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 shows the cross section of the arrow when loading the passbook into the passbook printing adapter.

Open the passbook P from the center page, and the print area Pa surface toward the upper surface side, and the die paper of the adapter 1 in the direction of the page Pc under the passbook that does not print a pattern, that is, the arrow D shown in FIG. 13) The bankbook P is inserted into and fixed to the bag-shaped recessed part 12a formed by the bankbook support part 12 and the first bankbook control part 11a. The edge 11c with the bankbook P of the first bankbook restricting section 11a is curved, and the bankbook P is pushed into the bag-shaped recess 12a by reducing the portion of the bankbook P in contact with the bupples. Reduce the power to put Since the center of the curve of the edge 11c is the insertion direction side of the bankbook P, it is led to the bag-shaped recess 12a from both ends of the bankbook P, and mounting becomes easy.

Reference numeral 13a denotes a through hole drilled through the die paper 13, and is used when the bankbook P is attached to and detached from the adapter 1, and in this figure, the index fingers of both hands are each entered from the back side. , Two are installed side by side.

FIG. 5 is a process chart when the bankbook is attached to the adapter, and the bankbook P is opened from the center page, and the bankbook P is inserted into the recess 12a of the adapter 1 in the direction of the arrow D of FIG. It pushes in under the bankbook control part 11a. Next, using the through-hole 13a of the adapter 1, a forefinger is inserted in the direction of arrow E in Fig. 5B, the bankbook P is bent upward, and the state is maintained, and the arrow is continued from the surface side of the bankbook P. The corner portion of the upper end of the bankbook is inserted under the second bankbook restricting portion 11b with the thumb in the direction of F.

Returning the curvature of the bankbook P to its original state, that is, removing the index finger from the through hole 13a restricts the rise of the second bankbook restricting portion 11b as shown in Fig. 5C. .

When the bankbook P is separated from the adapter 1, the index finger is inserted in the direction of the arrow E in Fig. 5B, the bankbook P is bent upward, and the bankbook P is separated from the second bank regulation section 11b. Thereafter, the bankbook P is removed from the adapter 1 in the direction of the half arrow D of FIG. 5A.

Such a shape causes a small deformation of the corner portions at both ends of the bankbook P, but there is no problem if it is outside the range of the print area Pa. In molding, of course, it is also possible to integrally mold including the indication mark 14, character information and city information.

Fig. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing a state where a bankbook is opened, in which a bottom PPU located at the center is located, and the right half portion shown is an upper page side having a print area Pa, and a magnetic stripe MS described later is provided on a lower page side PC. do. It is preferable for printing that the thickness t of the bankbook P which fits with the depth H of the recessed part 12a matches substantially. Therefore, even if the center page of the bankbook P is opened, the thickness t is changed by the number of papers in the middle of the bankbook P. Therefore, the number of papers in the middle of the bankbook P to be printed is increased as shown in FIG. Respond by making appropriate changes.

Next, the operation of the passbook printing using the passbook printing adapter of the present invention will be described with an operation flowchart shown in FIG. In addition, an image reading from a USB memory, an optical disk, or a digital camera is also possible as a removable medium, but a case where "color picture" is loaded as image information to be printed on the bankbook P will be described. In addition, S means an operation step.

S1. When the issuance process of the new bankbook is performed at the window of the financial institution, the teller calls the customer with the bankbook P in hand. When the automatic transaction device (ATM) issues a passbook, a service guide display for printing a photo on the passbook cover is performed.

S2. The teller holding the passbook P, verbally confirms whether or not the customer wants to print an image on the passbook cover. Here, when the customer selects that it is unnecessary or does not own the photograph or the information recording medium, it informs that it is possible later, and advances to the last step.

S3. If the customer wants to print on the cover page by presenting the photograph 5a, the teller starts the PC 2 and the image scanner 3, and also the printer 4, first by the image scanner 3; The operation of inputting the image data of the photograph 5a into the PC 2 is performed. In addition, although the input operation of these image images operates by the instruction | indication of the PC 2, you may perform it on the image scanner 3 side.

S4. When the image input is completed by the controller 23, the image image input to the display unit 22 is displayed in color.

S5. Confirm the editing hope about the displayed image image. In other words, the customer is asked whether to enlarge or partially cut the image, or to modify the color scheme (color, color, etc.) or replace it with a portrait. If there is no need to correct the image, the process proceeds to step S7.

S6. The correction is applied to the image image so as to become the image desired by the customer by the teller operation. Since these image correction functions are widely known as general-purpose color printers and the like, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

The teleporter pulls out the adapter 1, and inserts the bankbook P into the recessed part 12a in the arrow D direction shown in FIG. At this time, the corners of the bankbook left and right are led to the lower side of the second bankbook restricting portion 11b.

S8.Teller mounts the adapter 1 into which the bankbook P was inserted in the recessed part 12a to the printer 4, and sends the print instruction of the information (here image information) to the printer 4 at this time. do.

S9. When the printer 4 receives the print command, the printer 4 stores the print information in the storage unit 41 (not shown) and starts suction conveyance of the adapter 1. In this suction conveyance, the tip of the adapter 1 is detected by optical detection means or the like, which is not shown, and conveyance management is performed.

S10. When the printer 4 returns to the printing start position, the printer 4 starts outputting the print information stored in the storage unit 41. The printer 4 performs color printing by controlling the nozzles of the color inks disposed on the print head 43 in accordance with a predetermined color level.

S11. When printing to the bankbook P ends, the printer 4 sends a print end signal to the PC 2. The control unit 23 reads discharge time information from the storage unit 231, and instructs the adapter 1 to discharge when this time elapses. The printer 4 automatically ejects the adapter 1 upon receiving this ejection instruction.

In this way, the discharge time of the adapter 1 is appropriately determined by the fixing property and the quick drying property by the compatibility of the material of the passbook cover and the ink.

S12. The ejected adapter 1 is pulled out of the printer 4. Subsequently, the bankbook P is pulled out in the half arrow D direction to visually check the printing.

S13. If the printing situation is good, return the passbook P to the customer. At this time, of course, the photograph 5a entrusted to you is returned simultaneously. When the teller inputs the end of the processing from the keyboard unit 21, the control unit 23 erases the print information (image) and puts the PC 2 into a standby state.

Next, a modification of the present embodiment of the adapter will be described. 8 and 9 are explanatory views showing another embodiment of the passbook printing adapter, and will be described from the first modification shown in FIG. In addition, only the difference with the adapter shown in FIG. 3 is demonstrated.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a display window, which is approximately the same position and shape as the position and shape of the magnetic stripe Ms of the bankbook P inserted into the first bankbook restricting section 11a forming the letter-shaped recess 12a that fixes the bankbook P. It is expressed. The display window 15 may be provided as a through hole in the first bank regulation portion 11a or may be a different colored strip.

When the bankbook P is set in the adapter 1b, the magnetic stripe Ms of the bankbook P, which can be lifted up from the semi-transparent first bankbook regulatory section 11a, is formed of the first bankbook regulatory section 11a of the adapter 1b. Since it can visually confirm that it overlaps with the display window 15, the effect that a bankbook P is not attached to the adapter 1b in the wrong direction can be expected.

Reference numeral 13b denotes a long hole, in which two through holes 13a described in the previous embodiment are combined to form one long hole.

In this way, the degree of freedom is extended to the length of the teller's finger, or the bankbook P can be attached or detached by pushing the central portion of the bankbook P with one finger (for example, the middle finger).

FIG. 9A shows a second modified example. In particular, as shown in the first bankbook regulation section 11d, only the portion of the bankbook P that regulates the dropout of the bankbook P has a band shape, and the pagePC under the bankbook is displayed. It becomes the shape which exposes a side. Therefore, it can also print on the page PC side under a bankbook. Moreover, since it is an opening part, there exists an effect that removal from the exposure hole 15a becomes easy even if an office clip etc. are recessed.

Fig. 9B shows a third modification, in which a through hole 13c is provided on the die paper 13 side, and even if foreign matter or dust enters when inserting the bankbook from the recess 12a, the die paper ( 13) can be pushed back.

FIG. 10A shows a fourth modified example. In the previous embodiment, only the edge portion of the passbook P is restricted to the second passbook restriction portion 11b. However, in the present modified example, the entire width of the upper end side of the passbook P is shown. To regulate the territory. In addition, since the size of the exposure hole 15b is made smaller than the passbook page Pc, the restriction on the side of the passbook page Pc is assured. In addition, the through hole 13b is made larger than the previous embodiment. In this way, since the 2nd bankbook control part 11e covers the bankbook upper end side, even if there is some deformation | transformation in the bankbook P which the customer brought, it does not cause conveyance or printing defect.

FIG. 10B shows a fifth modified example in which the elastic deformation portion 13c is provided on the die paper 13. As shown in the figure, by providing a groove having a substantially U-shape, when a force pushing up from the back of the die paper 13 acts, it bends in the direction of the arrow E, and the bankbook P can be pushed up. As a result, the finger does not directly touch the bank account, and this print surface is not dirty with the finger even immediately after the transaction record. In addition, since the support area of the bankbook P is increased, even if the printing method of the printer 4 is an impact type, discomfort such as printing sounds can be reduced.

Industrial availability

The technical idea of this invention is not limited to the above. In the embodiment of the present invention, a three-layer (piece) structure of the surface portion, the passbook support portion, and the die paper is used. However, the structure may be one-piece or two-piece structure. In other words, the passbook support portion and the die paper may be integrally formed or the surface portion may be attached to a part of the integrally formed base material. In addition, the base material itself may not be limited to plastic, but may be made of an elastic member or may be made of paper.

Moreover, any combination of the through hole 13a, the long hole 13b, the elastic deformation part 13c, the 1st bank control part 11a, 11d, and the 2nd bank control part 11b, 11e, 11f may be sufficient.

This invention has the effect that it can print the information, such as a pattern desired by a customer, on a bank account with a low cost facility.
