DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to card supply in a card issuing device for continuously issuing cards, and more particularly to a card sending device for sending cards one by one to a device main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a conventional card sending device. The prior art will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 designates a card storage portion formed in a box shape and for stacking cards P in a stacked state. The first storage portion constitutes a bottom surface portion and shifts a lower card in an inclined manner. A guide block 2 is provided, and a card thickness regulating plate 4 and a second guide block 5 which form a card outlet 3 at the front end of the bottom portion. A delivery roller 6 rotatably supported by a shaft 7 is disposed in front of the outlet 3, and the delivery roller 6 is connected to a motor 8 by a belt.

[0003] Reference numeral 9 denotes a pinch roller which is in contact with the delivery roller 6 and is supported by a shaft 10 so as to be swingable.
Lever 1 provided with swinging habit in the counterclockwise direction in the figure
1 and always has a press contact property on the feed roller 6 side. Reference numeral 13 denotes a discharge port for sending out the card sent out by the sending-out roller 6 to a data writing unit (not shown). Reference numeral 14 denotes a take-out roller holding lever that is swingably supported on the shaft 7 at one upper side, and the feed roller 6 is provided at the other upper side.
A take-out roller 15 is pivotally supported to contact the lowermost card connected by a belt. A solenoid 16 has a plunger 17 in contact with a lower portion of the take-out roller holding lever 14.

Next, the operation of the card sending apparatus having such a configuration will be described. The lowermost card is placed on the first and second guide blocks 2 and 5, and the solenoid 1
6 is OFF, the plunger 17 is withdrawn, and the take-out roller holding lever 14 swings counterclockwise around the shaft 7 and is at the position shown by the broken line. In this state, the take-out roller 15 is Not in contact with lower card. When the solenoid 16 is turned on, the plunger 17 advances, and the take-out roller holding lever 14 swings clockwise, so that the take-out roller 15 comes into contact with the lowermost card,
By the rotation of the take-out roller 15, the lowermost card is sent out from the take-out port 3, further nipped between the feed roller 6 and the pinch roller 9, and sent out from the discharge port 13.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional card sending device has a structure in which the card is sent out by the frictional force between the card P and the take-out roller 15, so that the card is charged with static electricity, or between the cards depending on the accumulation state. If a vacuum is generated, two cards may be fed while overlapping,
However, there is a problem that the take-out roller 15 slips and the take-out becomes impossible.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a card sending apparatus capable of preventing two sheets from being fed and achieving smooth feeding. .

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, a card feeding apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a take-out roller which separates and abuts the uppermost or lowermost card of a plurality of cards stacked in a stacked state. by the card delivery device for feeding the card one by one, the take-out contact in synchronization example Bei extruding pushing member the trailing edge of the uppermost or lowermost card of the roller, freely oscillating the take-out roller
The pivot member is supported by a supported swing member, and the swing member is
Drive means for swinging the pushing member, and swinging the pushing member.
It is movably supported, and the pushing member and the swinging member are
Are linked .

[0008]

According to the present invention, when the take-out roller comes into contact with the card and sends it out, the card is simultaneously extruded by the extruding member. According to the present invention, the contact of the take-out roller with the card and the pushing operation of the pushing member are synchronized by the link member.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a card sending device according to the present invention. In the figure, the same components as those of the prior art are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted. The feature of the present invention resides in that the pushing lever 19 provided with the contact portion 21 which contacts the rear end portion of the lowermost card is provided. The push lever 19 is swingably supported by a shaft 20, and one end of a link member 18 is connected to a lower end thereof. The other end of the link member 18 is connected to the lower end of the take-out roller holding lever 14, and the pushing lever 19
And the take-out roller holding lever 14 are connected by a link member 18.

Next, a card sending operation of the card sending apparatus having such a configuration will be described. When the solenoid 16 is turned on in order to send out the lowermost card, the plunger 17 advances and rotates the take-out roller holding lever 14 clockwise. This rotation is performed via the link member 18,
The pushing lever 19 is transmitted to the pushing lever 19 and the pushing lever 19 is
When the card is swung clockwise about 0, the contact portion 21 takes out the lowermost card and presses it toward the ejection opening 3. At this time, if the next upper card is in close contact with the lowermost card, the card is brought into contact with the card thickness regulating plate 4 and acts to semi-forcefully separate it by shearing force. For this reason, the lowermost card is smoothly taken out from the take-out opening 3 by the take-out roller 15 which comes into contact with the lowermost card by the clockwise rotation of the take-out roller holding lever 14.

In this embodiment, the pushing lever 19 and the take-out roller holding lever 14 are linked to each other.
The present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the driving may be performed in synchronization with different driving sources without linking. Also,
In this embodiment, the lowermost card is sent out, but it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a structure in which the uppermost card is sent out.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, a card sending device for sending out cards one by one by a take-out roller which separates and comes into contact with an uppermost or lowermost card of a plurality of cards stacked in a stacked state. An extrusion member for pushing out the rear end of the uppermost or lowermost card in synchronization with the contact of the take-out roller, and when the take-out roller comes into contact with the card and sends it out, the card is simultaneously pushed out. In this way, the next card in close contact with the uppermost or lowermost card is semi-forced to be separated, so that two cards can be prevented from being fed and smooth card feeding can be obtained.

Further, according to the present invention, the take-out roller is pivotally supported by a swinging member which is swingably supported, and a driving means for swinging the swinging member is provided, and the uppermost layer or the lowermost layer is provided. The pushing member that pushes the rear end of the card is swingably supported, and the pushing member and the swing member are linked to each other, and the pushing member and the swing member are synchronized via the link member. Is performed smoothly, the feeding of two cards is more reliably prevented, and the driving source is set to one.
Therefore, the apparatus can be reduced in size at low cost.
