To clean the reader or the transfer device of the automatic ticket gate, which is provided with a transfer device for transferring to the discharge port and a reader for reading the information of the ticket or the card between the input port and the discharge port Of the cleaning body, at least one main surface of which is a cleanable surface, has a width substantially the same as that of the ticket or card , and extends from the input port to the discharge port. Yo
So that it can be mounted and transported
The present invention relates to a cleaning body for an automatic ticket gate, which comprises a tape-shaped object formed on the. Note that claim 2
A supply reel and a take-up reel as shown in provided, it is preferable to adopt a configuration you transfer towards a tape-like cleaning element from the supply reel to the take-up reel.

[0005]

According to the invention of claim 1, the table
Install the cleaning device in the shape of a plug so that it extends from the inlet to the outlet.
The cleaning efficiency can be improved by continuously cleaning the space . According to the invention of claim 2, since the tape-shaped cleaning body is transferred using the reel, the tape-shaped cleaning body is stably transferred.
It can be sent and cleaned efficiently.

EXAMPLES Next, a cleaning body according to an example will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an automatic ticket gate 20 in principle. The cover 21 has a slot 22 for inserting a ticket or a commuter pass and a discharge port 2 for discharging a ticket or a commuter pass.
3 and 3 are provided. A transfer device 24 for transferring a ticket or a commuter pass from the input port 22 to the output port 23 includes a plurality of belts 25, a plurality of rollers 26, a motor 27 and the like. A plurality of magnetic heads 28, which serve as a magnetic recording information reading device for tickets or commuter passes, are arranged along the transport path. The automatic ticket gate 20 shown in FIG. 4 is disclosed in JP-A-3-3198.
Which is substantially the same as that disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3, etc.,
Since it is well known, detailed description will be omitted.

2 is for cleaning the automatic ticket gate 20 shown in FIG .
3 shows a tape-shaped cleaning body 30 according to the present invention. The tape-shaped cleaning body 30 has a sheet 31 as a base and a nylon cloth layer 32 having a moisture retaining property, which are integrated with each other. Since the width of the tape-like cleaning body 30 is the same as the width of the ticket, when the cleaning liquid such as alcohol is inserted into the charging port 22, the tape-shaped cleaning member 30 is transferred toward the discharge port 23 like the ticket and the The head 28 and the transfer device 24 are cleaned. Since the tape-shaped cleaning body 30 enables continuous cleaning, the cleaning efficiency is improved.

FIG . 3 uses the tape-shaped cleaning body 30 of FIG.
1 shows a cleaning device for an automatic ticket gate. The automatic ticket gate 20 of which only a part is shown in the central portion of FIG. 3 is the same as that of FIG. The cleaning device includes a tape-shaped cleaning body supply device 51 arranged on the input port 22 side, a winding device 52 arranged on the discharge port 23 side, and a tape-shaped cleaning body 30 traveling between these.

The supply device 51 and the winding device 52 are both movable, and are arranged at the position shown in FIG. 3 when cleaning the automatic ticket gate 20.

The supply device 51 includes a case 53, a supply side reel 54, and a container 56 containing a cleaning liquid 55.
A feed member 57 made of felt for supplying the cleaning liquid 55 to the tape-shaped cleaning body 30, and a guide roller 58.
It consists of and. The winding device 52 includes a case 59, a winding reel 60, a plurality of guide rollers 61, a cleaning liquid removing liquid 62, and a cleaning liquid removing brush 63.
And a winding motor 65. One of the guide rollers 61 is supported by the support arm 64 so that the automatic ticket gate 2
It is arranged near the zero discharge port 23.

When the head 28 of the automatic ticket gate 20 or the transfer device 24 is cleaned, the supply side device 51 and the winding side device 52 are arranged at the positions shown in FIG. Is put into the input port 22, is taken out from the discharge port 23, and is wound around the reel 60 of the winding side device 52. As a result, cleaning of the automatic ticket gate 20 is efficiently achieved. The dirty cleaning liquid is removed on the winding side, and the tape-shaped cleaning body 30 having cleaning ability is wound on the winding-side reel 60, so that it can be used for the next cleaning.
