Heinz Brych, Caspar Olevianstraße 155, 5500 Trier PLIERS FOR PERFORATING CARD

«

The invention relates to pliers according to the preamble of the main claim.

Proper billing is a big problem in the hospitality industry. On the one hand there are different prices. On the other hand different things are ordered at different times. The correct amount must also be added for the right person. Usually, the exact amount corresponding to the invoice is not paid, but is paid with a larger amount and then the money is returned.

Often the companies have to work with non-trained personnel from different backgrounds. There are also a few staff who do business in their own pockets. In the cross-border traffic of two currencies, it is difficult to tell the currencies apart. Coins from different currencies in particular sometimes look very similar. It is annoying for the customer to frequently pull out their wallets. Often the lighting is also unfavorable for writing and reading. B. in discos. Many customers are annoyed because they have to wait too long for the payment process.Even if everything has gone smoothly, staff I 12 059 5 and those who are responsible for the billing sit together until the wee hours of the morning to settle the billing do. The total turnover per day and the individual turnover per operator have not been determined long after the restaurant t has been closed. You also often get difficulties with the tax office, which likes to smell manipulations at these companies, so that it is also difficult to deal with this authority.

ç The object of the invention is to provide a pair of pliers matching a system, the cards are claimed in a parallel application, these pliers! (together with the cards) such a simple billing enables the customer, the operating staff as well as the inspectors to have a much easier life.

According to the invention, this object is achieved with respect to the pliers by the features of the main claim.

(t

The positioning pins force an exact position of the card and thus the coding field in the card. The holes in the card for the positioning pins can be punched right from the start during the production of the card, so the accuracy is under control, so it does not depend on the accuracy of the operator.

Nevertheless, it is certain that the positioning pins (and the corresponding holes in the card) do not interfere with the reading of the holes in the coding field of the card.

You don't have to make a special effort to place the card more precisely on the positioning

U

12 059 6 «to adjust because when the pliers are closed the punch pin presses the card against the opposite positioning field before punching.

t

The features of claim 2 achieve that the positioning pins can be arranged at a greater distance from one another, so that the cards can also be precisely positioned in terms of angle.

The features of claim 3 ensure that the positioning pins with one

V

put out the card at the top of the field to be punched, which is psychologically more favorable. In addition, the positioning pins are more likely to move along a path approximating a straight line, which simplifies the construction. The positioning pins and the punching pins are, of course, linear and not arcuate elements.

The features of claim 4 achieve that the risk is reduced that the holes for the positioning pins of the cards tear out. In addition, the positioning pins cannot then be inserted where a punch pin previously punched.

Due to the features of claim 5, the positioning pins can be kept shorter than if they were provided in the other end region. On the other hand, you get a correct, simpler position of the card.

Due to the features of claim 6, the positioning pins receive a guide shortly before the pliers are closed, and the area with which the card is later held grows around the area between the pesioning pin holes. There is never a kink in the card in this area.

Due to the features of claim 7, the grid can be made sufficiently small.

, so that there are enough billing processes on one card and the punch holes are still easy to read later. In addition, despite these very simple pliers, up to 32 operators can work in the system.

By the features of claim 8 you get very similar advantages as in claim 7, but has so many combinations that even with z. B.

30 operators have one hole left for parity control for each type of perforation.

By using circular punching pins, they can be manufactured cheaply and the punching holes can be made by simple drilling.

Due to the features of claim 9, a clear, space-saving perforation pattern is obtained, which conforms to the rectangular shape of a card and weakens the other end region of the pliers through the holes on the one hand and on the other hand not excessively.

«

The features of claim 10 give a high data density, and moreover the accuracy of the punched holes in the card becomes better the closer the coding field is to the positioning pins.

/ (12 059 8 «

By the features of claim 11 you can achieve that the flat card also; is kept level and when shooting the pliers there is no tendency to ! This could cause the card to slip.

Due to the features of claim 12 one achieves that the leaf spring presses the card down on one end region, that the punch pins have a demonstration, that the card is pushed down parallel to the squares (so that the punch holes just made do not tear out) and that in spite of everything you can make the punch pins short and thus stable.

Due to the features of claim 13 you can achieve that in a particularly low-light environment can also work safely, so that it does not happen that the operator z. B. because of the already existing positioning holes for the positioning pins, this is confused with the last punch. Each operator must then be assigned a specific punch pin shape, e.g. Line, cross, star, fourth ice moon, square etc.

The invention will now be described with reference to a preferred embodiment, shown in the drawing:

1 shows the top view of pliers,

2 is a view in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 1 on a scale of 2: 1,

3 is a view according to arrow B in Fig. 1 in scale 2: * 1, but without leaf spring,

Fig. 4 is a view according to arrow B inFig. 1 of the leaf spring alone in 2: 1 scale,

5 shows a number of possible arrangements of the punched holes, but also of the holes which are to be punched into a card in the case of 25 persons, // 12 059 9.

6 is a top view of a billing card on a 2: 1 scale,

7 is a top view of the upper left area of an additional card on a 2: 1 scale,

Fig. 8 shows the cross section of a punch pin of certain peripheral shape.

«

A pair of pliers 11 has a first double-armed lever 12 and a second double-armed lever 13. They are pivotally connected to one another in a central region by an axis in the usual way, so that the levers 12, 13 pivot about a geometrical transverse axis 14 can, which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in Fig. 1. Each lever 12, 13 carries at its ends screwed with screws 16 a solid shoe 18, 19 made of metal, which has a shape similar to a brake shoe.

The shoe 18 has on its inside a plane 21, which is not only parallel to the transverse axis 14, but goes through it, which is possible because of the offset 22. Through holes 24, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, which form punched holes and are circular-cylindrical, are provided within a coding field 23 shown in dot-dash lines.

The through bores 24, 26, 28 are parallel to the transverse axis 14 and to this and to them also the through bores 29, 31, 32 are parallel, so that a 2X3 arrangement is formed which has its (larger extension parallel to the transverse axis 14).

’The through holes thus formed always have the same to the neighbor

Distance. According to FIG. 2 to the left of the coding field 23, adjacent to this, two vertically projecting positioning pins 33, 34 are provided, which sit in the left corner regions of the plane 21, their diameter is 1.47 mm. The diameter, the through holes 24, etc. is 1.3 mm.

/ ï; 12 059 1? ! The other shoe 19 has a plane 36 which also runs through the transverse axis 14 and which, after a kink 37, merges into a plane 38 which is acute at an angle of approximately 15 °. On the left, level 36 again has a coding field 39 corresponding to the coding field. _ Field 23, which are congruent with each other when the pliers 11 are closed. In the coding field 39 are punched pin according to the arrangement of the through holes 24, etc. Positions 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48 are provided. "Positions" because, according to FIG. 5, not all punch pins need to be present. On the other hand, for reasons of rationalization, the through holes 24 etc. can be provided, since these are inactive without punching pins.

Corresponding to the positioning pins 33, 34, through-holes 49, 49 are provided to the left of the coding field 39, which begin to immerse the positioning pins 33, 34 with the pliers Î1 not yet fully closed.

A thin, flat leaf spring 53, which is just as wide as the shoe 19 is high, is fastened on the plane 38 by means of screws 52. In the open state and when the leaf spring 53 is unstressed, its outer end stands considerably above existing punching pins. If the pliers 11 are closed, then the plane 21 presses the leaf spring 53 against the plane 36 with its outer region. In this case, existing punching pins pass through through bores 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 61, which are arranged in the same way as the through bores 24 etc., 'are congruent with this j, but a considerably larger diameter than the outer diameter, j. existing punch pins. In addition, the through bores 54, 57 are cut by I bevels 62, 63. Obviously there are no dowels for the positioning pins 33, 34 /.

12 059 11 «

Fig. 5 now shows which punch pin positions are occupied by 25 operators. It is clear that the sianz pin positions are already prepared in such a way that the holes for the punch pins can already be present. Then holes are drilled in these t, which are also best Through-hole drills are only used at certain points.

For the operator 01, the punch pin position 48 has a punch pin, which means “Ol” ^. The punch pin position 44 is also occupied so that you can make a parity check.

For the operator 02 there is a pair of pliers whose punch pin position 42 is occupied, which means 2. In addition, the punch pin position 44 is occupied, which in turn serves for parity control. The operator 03 has a pair of pliers whose punch pin position 48 is occupied, which - as before - means "1". The punch pin position 42 is called "2" as before, which makes a total of 3. A parity check is then obtained anyway because of the two holes later in the card.

The operator 04 has a pair of pliers, the punch pin position 47 is occupied, what. M4 11 means, and the occupied punch pin position 44 is again used for parity control.

The operator 05 has a pair of pliers whose punch pin position 48 (= 1} and 47. (= 4) is occupied, which makes 5. Together, the operator 06 has = the pliers with positions 42 and 47, which is 2 +4 = 6 and no parity check / required.

'\ 1 12 059 12 1 * * j

In the operator 07, the punch pin positions 42, 48 and 47 are occupied, which results in 2 + 1 + 4 = 7, and the punch pin position 44 is again '| . .

I1 occupied. The operator 08 has a pair of pliers whose punch pin positions 43 and 44 are occupied, the punch pin position 43 meaning “8” and 44 again being decisive for the parity check.

[J

! - 'For the operator 09, the punch pin positions 48 (= 1) and 43 (= 8). occupied, which. together, results in 9U. The punch 10 -j positions 42, 43 are occupied by the operator 10, which results in 8 + 2 = 10 etc.

! Even with 25 operators, there are a maximum of four punch pins, which hardly weakens the cards. The arrangement is such that when z. B. the Kört- i chen consists of the material Syntape from American Tobacco, the Kärtchen | can be easily crumpled and still remain processable.

A card 64 is 87 mm long and 55 mm high and made of the material Syntape mentioned. It is about the size of a credit card. The top margin and the bottom margin are parallel to each other, as are the right and left margins, and these groups stand; perpendicular to each other. With a center distance of 3.75 mm from the top edge! I.

! . the clock holes are provided, all of which lie on a straight line 66 which is parallel to the upper edge. Its diameter is 1.3 mm. The upper left clock hole 67 has a distance of 2.5 mm from the left edge. This is followed by a clock hole 67 with a spacing of 3 mm. The subsequent clock holes 68, 69 are each 2.5 mm apart. This is followed by a clock hole 71 with a distance of 3 mm. In total there are ten such groups of three, which are 2.5 mra apart from each other and 3 mm apart.

12 059 13

Eight positioning holes 68 are provided below the 3 mm edge and in the center thereof, which have the same center distance of 5 mm from one another. Its diameter is 1.5 mm. To the right of the positioning hole 68 there is a positioning hole 69 at a distance of 8 mm. Below this is a field with the number "6" printed on it. To the right of the positioning hole 69, there is a positioning hole 71 with a distance of 8 mm below the 3 mm distance, and below this there are seven further positioning holes of the same shape. In this way, according to FIG. 6, a grid is created for positioning holes into which the positioning pins 33, 34 can be inserted. Since the first field has the number "6", the number n85n is printed in the last field located at the bottom right.

6 therefore shows an accounting card because it begins with 6. The customer has therefore already had five units (e.g. DM) deducted for entry, the punching operations shown in FIG. 5 are made in fields 6, 7, 8, etc. by the respective operator. Does the customer now need four *

Units, then the operator punches one of the codes from FIG. 5. If the visitor then consumes six units, the field 15 is punched, etc.

Below the clock hole 67, near the positioning hole 68, a recognition hole 71 'is stamped from the beginning, which tells a human or mechanical reader that this is an accounting card. In the case of Fig. 7, this recognition hole 72, which has the same diameter as the clock holes and the punch holes, is located near a positioning hole located slightly below. The human or machine reader learns from this that it is an additional card whose upper left field begins with 1 and is numbered 2, 3 etc.

4 · 1 * 12 059 14 I Such a card is used if the 85 units of the billing card are not sufficient

Both the accounting card according to FIG. 6 and the additional card according to FIG. 7 have holes 73, 74 at the bottom left and right, which are perpendicularly below the first and last clock holes, respectively, and tell a machine reader that reading is either beginning or has ended.

(’'·

Instead of the punchings according to FIG. 5, other punchings can also be made. Figure 8 shows the cross section of a cross-shaped punch pin. Here is

Idie assignment to the operating panel in the form of the punch pin. The punch hole is of course also designed accordingly.
