JPH10297814A - Delivery device for belt-like ticket - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a structure of a whole belt-like ticket delivery device so as to prevent improper pulling out of a ticket in advance by storing a tooth means slidably, guiding the belt-like ticket delivered by a roller means, and fitting a claw means into a cut freely. SOLUTION: Since the travel of a sheath body 21 by means of a claw 23 and the protrusion of a tooth due to the turn of a saw tooth body 25 are done based on a pivotal shaft 22, a fixed distance is maintained at all times. For this reason, a tooth of the saw tooth body 25 bites a perforated line 2 accurately, even if a pulling out position and a pulling out speed of a ticket T1 differ. When an exposed tip part of the ticket T1 is further pulled out in this condition, the sheath body 21 moves further downward. As a result, the saw tooth body 25 protrudes further, and the tooth of the saw tooth body 25 bites the perforated line 2 further so that the thicket T1 is cut away at the perforated line 2 and is separated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional end view from the side schematically showing an embodiment according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional end view of FIG. 1 as viewed from above. First, the belt-shaped ticket will be schematically described with reference to FIG. The band-shaped ticket 1 is made of, for example, a band-shaped paperboard and has perforated lines 2 cut in the width direction that can be cut off at equal intervals in the length direction. A round hole 3 is opened at the center of the perforation line 2, and triangular cuts 4, 4 are formed at the outer ends of the perforation line 2.

Accordingly, one ticket T1, T2, T3,..., Which is one unit of a coupon, is provided between the perforation lines 2, 2 of the belt-shaped ticket 1. The entire belt-shaped ticket 1 is spirally wound and, although not shown, is housed in the lower right of FIG. In addition, the perforation line 2 may of course be a cutable line such as a dotted line or a broken line. The large square plate on the right side of FIG.
(See FIG. 2) On the other hand, these side plates 11, 12
A pair of rollers 13 and 14 are rotatable between the pivots 15 and
16

Although these rollers 13 and 14 are not shown in the drawings, the electric motor and the worm gear mechanism,
A means for paying out the belt-shaped ticket 1 to the outside via an electric control means or the like is configured. The roller 13, which is pivoted upward, is hourglass-shaped, in other words, hourglass-shaped, with a central portion 17 of the peripheral wall inwardly constricted. The roller 14 pivoted downward is drum-shaped, with a central portion 18 of the peripheral wall bulging outward. Therefore,
The belt-shaped ticket 1 sandwiched between these rollers 13 and 14
Is bent in the width direction in a mountain shape against the elastic force of the cardboard.

For this reason, the upper and lower rollers 13 and 14 are more likely to bite into the belt-shaped ticket 1. In other words, the friction between the rollers 13 and 14 against the belt-shaped ticket 1 increases. It is needless to say that the rollers 13 and 14 may be turned upside down so that the upper roller has a drum shape and the lower roller has a drum shape. Roller 1
It goes without saying that the rollers 3 and 14 may be ordinary cylindrical rollers. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 25 shown on the left side of the lower roller 14 is a rectangular saw-tooth body made of a thin steel plate, and the lower edge of the saw-tooth body 25 is rotatably pivoted.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a thick-plate-shaped cylindrical sheath, which slides on the outer periphery of the saw-tooth body 25 so as to be able to move up and down. A small triangular plate-like 23 at the top of the sheath 21 is a pair of claws, and these claws 23 are formed on each end of the upper surface of the sheath 21 as shown in FIG. Each of the top surfaces of the pair of claws 23 is formed with a curved surface so as to guide each edge of the lower surface of the band-shaped ticket 1 that is curved in a mountain shape in the width direction. Opposing surfaces of the pair of triangular claws 23 project from each other.
Therefore, the claw 23 can be freely fitted into the notch 4 of the belt-shaped ticket 1. Note that, even if the claw 23 is a small circle, a semicircle, or a projection, the claw 23 fits into the notch 4, and therefore need not be limited to a triangle.

Reference numeral 24 in the drawing denotes springs, and these springs 24, 24 are attached so as to pull the sheath 21 downward. In the drawing, the stopper of the sheath body 21 is a projection on the edge wall of the side plates 11 and 12 (not shown).
It is. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the tooth surface, which is the upper edge of the sawtooth body 25, is formed so as to be substantially the same as the top surface of the claw 23. In other words, for example, the elastic force of the spring 24 is adjusted, and the upper edge of the sawtooth body 25 is located at the top surface of the claw 23 as shown in FIG.

Thus, in FIG. 1, when the sheath 21 is moved slightly to the left, the sheath 21 is pulled slightly downward in FIG. On the other hand, since the saw-tooth body 25 is rotated around the pivot 22,
The upper edge of the sawtooth body 25 will protrude relatively. In other words, when the sheath 21 moves to the left, the spring 4
, The top surface of the claw 23 goes down, and the upper edge of the sawtooth body 25 relatively projects as if it were protruding.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 31 shown above the claw 23 is a guide plate disposed obliquely. The guide plate 31 is for guiding the leading end of the belt-shaped ticket 1 paid out by the rollers 13 and 14 downward.

Reference numeral 32 shown below the guide plate 31 is also a guide plate which is disposed obliquely. The guide plate 32 guides the leading end of the belt-shaped ticket 1 to be paid out to the exit 33. Numeral 34 in the figure denotes a cover body for covering the exit 33, and an outer frame case 35 such as an automatic ticket vending machine.
Fixed to

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Although not shown in the drawings, the present embodiment having the above-mentioned structure is completed. The tip of the spirally wound strip-shaped ticket 1 is inserted between the rollers 13 and 14, and the preparation for paying out the ticket is completed. Will do.

Although this state is described in more detail, the illustration is omitted, but since the leading edge of the belt-shaped ticket 1 is a paperboard and has a mountain-shaped curve due to the rollers 13 and 14, the claw 23 is formed.
Is above. Thus, for example, one ticket T
When 1 is paid out, driving means (not shown) such as an electric control means and an electric motor are operated to
14, only one ticket T1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. As a result, the tip of the ticket T1
1 is guided by the guide plates 31, 32 and the cover body 34, and is exposed to the outside of the outer frame case 35 from the outlet 33.

When the tip of the exposed ticket T1 is pinched with a finger and pulled, the ticket T1 is in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. That is, both sides of the rear end portion of the pulled ticket T1 slide on the top surface of the claw 23, and when the pair of cuts 4, 4 come, they are hooked on the triangle of the pair of claw 23, 23, respectively. This state is shown in FIG. Claws 23, 2 in notches 4, 4 to be moved
When 3 is hooked, the sheath 21 is moved to the left side in FIG. 1 by the pulling force of the ticket T1.

Therefore, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, the sheath 21 is slightly pulled down by the spring 24. On the other hand, the saw-tooth body 25 is
, The teeth on the saw-toothed body 25 protrude into the perforation line 2 between the adjacent tickets T1 and T2. Since the movement of the sheath 21 by the claw 23 and the projection of the teeth by the rotation of the sawtooth body 25 are based on the pivot 22, a constant distance is always maintained. From this, even if the pulling position, pulling speed, etc. of the ticket T1 are different, the teeth of the sawtooth body 25 will bite into the perforation line 2 accurately. In the above state, when the exposed front end of the ticket T1 is further pulled, the sheath 21 moves further downward as shown by the chain line in FIG.

Thus, the saw-tooth body 25 is further protruded, and as a result, the teeth of the saw-tooth body 25 are further cut into the perforation line 2, and the ticket T1 is cut off at the perforation line 2 and separated. The tip of the remaining ticket T2 is separated from the sawtooth body 25 and the claw 23 by the restoring force because the band-like ticket 1 is made of cardboard.
5 and the sheath body 21 become free and return to the original position by the restoring force of the spring 24. In other words, as described in the first description of this embodiment, the state returns to the state of preparing to pay out the ticket. That is, the front end of the belt-shaped ticket 1 wound in a spiral state (not shown) is inserted between the rollers 13 and 14, and the state returns to the ticket payout preparation state.

Although omitted in the description so far, gears (not shown) are externally fixed to the pivots 15 and 16 of these rollers 13 and 14, and these gears mesh with each other. A larger gear (not shown) is fixed to one of these gears.
Since this large gear meshes with a worm gear (not shown), the pair of rollers 13 and 14 does not rotate even if there is a pulling force of the ticket T1 described above. In addition, if the pair of upper and lower rollers 13 and 14 has a drum shape and a drum shape, the friction area increases, so that the belt-shaped ticket 1
There is no sliding between 3 and 14.

Therefore, the division of the ticket T1 via the perforation line 2 can be surely performed. Further, the sheath 21 is returned to the original position by the restoring force of the spring 24. However, when an arm (not shown) is provided below the sheath 21 to the right side and a weight is fixed to the tip of this arm. Of course, the sheath 21 has a restoring force in the same manner as the action of the spring 24. Also,
Since the shape of the notch 4 is triangular, the claw 23 is also triangular, but if the notch is rectangular, the claw may of course be rectangular. In addition, although the number of the claws 23 is two, it is needless to say that one may be used.

Although not shown, a single claw that can be fitted into the round hole 3 may of course be formed. In addition, although the sheath 21 is cylindrical, it goes without saying that any shape such as a sheath having a C-shaped cross section that holds the saw-tooth body 25 slidably may be used.

According to the present invention as described above, the tooth means can accurately penetrate the perforation of the belt-shaped ticket with the addition of a very simple structure, so that the ticket is illegally pulled out when the ticket is paid out. This can be prevented beforehand. In other words, according to the present invention, it is possible to simplify the structure of the entire belt-like ticket dispensing apparatus, and to obtain a great effect of preventing unauthorized ticket withdrawal.
