DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper storage unit for storing unprinted slip paper, a printer for printing on the paper,
The present invention relates to a printer device in which a separator for separating a printed slip into a customer delivery slip and a storage slip and a slip storage unit for storing the printed storage slip are provided in a case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of printers are known which print on a plurality of slip sheets, such as sales slips, hand one sheet to a customer, and store the other for recording. A separator is provided at the exit of the printer to separate the copy slips. However, if the sticking force (stapling) of these slips is too strong, the slips cannot be separated and a paper jam called a so-called jam occurs. Further, when the separated storage slips are stored, if the storage slips are not stored properly due to some problem, a jam also occurs.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a printer apparatus which does not cause a jam and which can be repaired immediately if a jam occurs.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a paper storage unit for storing unprinted voucher paper, a printer for printing on the voucher paper, and a printed voucher for customer delivery and storage. In a printer device in which a separator that separates a voucher and a voucher storage unit that stores printed storage vouchers are provided in a case, a cover pivotally attached to a horizontal axis is provided on the front surface of the voucher storage unit, and the cover A spring biased in the closing direction is provided at the pivot portion of the cover, and the upper end of the cover forms a separator.When the cover is closed, the separator at the upper end of the cover is located at the slip exit of the printer. ing.

According to the present invention, the upper end of the lid constituting the separator has a triangular shape.

Further, according to the present invention, the card reader and the display device are integrally formed.

[0007]

[Explanation of operation and effect] Therefore, at the time of printing work, the slip sheet in the sheet storage section is sent to the printer and printed, separated into a customer delivery slip and a storage slip by a separator, and one sheet is given to the customer, and the other is sent to the customer. It is stored in the slip storage unit.

In the meantime, if the sticking force is too strong to be able to be separated by the separator, the cover is opened against the spring by sending the slip. Therefore, since the worker manually separates the slip to deliver the slip to the customer, no jam occurs.

Further, when a slip stored in the slip storage section is jammed for some reason, it is collected at the exit of the printer, so that the cover can be opened and fall into the slip storage section.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cover having the separator at the upper end is opened in front of the slip storing section, the inspection of the inside, the taking out of the storing slip and the storing operation are easy, and the jam is substantially eliminated. Can be prevented.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to an outdoor terminal device such as a gas station. Case 2 with outdoor terminal device
Are supported by the post 1. A case 2, a card reader 4, a slip exit 6 and a cover 5 are provided.

In FIG. 2, a paper storage unit 10 for storing a set of a plurality of unprinted slip sheets P1 in a case 2 is provided.
A printer 11 for printing on the slip sheet P1 and a slip storage unit 12 for storing a storage slip P3 separated by a separator 13 described later are provided. A horizontal shaft 14 is provided at the lower end 15 of the cover 5 provided on the front face of the slip storing portion 12 of the case 2, so that the cover 5 can be rotated from a solid line position to a position shown by dotted lines 5a and 5b. I have. The cover 5 is urged by a spring 16 so as to be always in a closed position indicated by a solid line.

The upper end of the cover 5 constitutes the separator 13, and therefore the upper end of the cover 5 is located at the outlet 6 of the printer 11 when the cover is closed. Therefore, at the position shown in the drawing, the printed slip is separated by the separator 13 into a customer delivery slip P2 and a storage slip P3.

In operation, the slip sheet P in the sheet storage unit 10
1 is printed by the printer 11, the printed slip is separated by the separator 13, and the customer slip P2 is
The storage slip P3 is sent to the upper side of the storage slip 3 and is passed to the customer.

When the slips P2 and P3 cannot be separated by the separator 13, the paper jam or jam occurs at the outlet 6 according to the prior art, but in the present invention, the cover 5 resists the force of the spring 16. Then, for example, it opens at the position indicated by the dotted line 5a. Therefore, no paper jam occurs. At that time, the worker may manually separate the slip into P2 and P3 and hand the slip P2 to the customer.

If the slip P3 is not properly stored in the slip storage unit 12 due to some inconvenience and the jam occurs, the cover 5 is also pushed by the jammed slip P3 and opens to the position 5a. Therefore, the worker is immediately aware of the situation and can immediately set the correct state.

When the unprinted slip sheet P1 is to be inserted into the sheet storage section 10 or the slip P3 of the slip storage section 12 is to be taken out, the cover 5 can be opened to the position shown by the dotted line 5b to facilitate the storage and removal operation. It can be carried out.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be obtained. (1) If the slip cannot be separated by the separator, the cover is opened, so that the worker can take immediate action. (2) Even if the slip stored in the slip storage unit is jammed, the cover is still opened, so that the user can immediately respond. (3) Therefore, a jam can be substantially prevented. (4) Since the cover opens immediately, it is easy to insert the slip paper and take out the slip.
