本発明は封筒あるいは帳票等に印刷又は手書き
された文字を簡更に、かつ確実に読取ることを目
的としている。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to easily and reliably read characters printed or handwritten on envelopes, forms, etc.
最近、手動走査による簡便な光学文字読取装置
（以後ハンドスキヤナと呼ぶ）が普及しはじめて
いる。この装置の特徴は、軽くて、安価に文字読
取りができることにある。しかるに、ハンドスキ
ヤナは手動走査されるため、文字行をはずれた
り、印刷面からハンドスキヤナが浮上しすぎたり
することが発生し、読取りエラーの原因になる。 Recently, simple optical character reading devices that use manual scanning (hereinafter referred to as hand scanners) have become popular. The feature of this device is that it is lightweight and can read characters at low cost. However, since the hand scanner performs manual scanning, it is possible for the hand scanner to miss a character line or to rise too high above the printed surface, causing reading errors.
又、ハンドスキヤナ操作の為に片手を常に占有
されることは、生産現場においては、種々の動作
制約条件となる。 Furthermore, the fact that one hand is always occupied to operate the hand scanner poses various operational constraints at production sites.
本発明の目的は、上記ハンドスキヤナ使用上の

のである。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a character reading device which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks when using a hand scanner, and which is also fully applicable to a power-driven scanner system.

字読取装置が得られる。 According to the present invention, a character reading head capable of reading a form, a holding base having a first guide rail that allows the character reading head to move in at least one direction of the X-axis or the Y-axis, and the holding base are provided. There is obtained a character reading device characterized in that it includes a second guide rail that is moved upwardly and a stand on which the form is stood.
以下本発明の実施例について図面を参照して説
明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

る。 In the drawing, a hand scanner 2 has a character reading head that can read documents, and a guide rail 1.
It is mounted so as to be movable in the X-axis direction. The guide rail 1 is mounted on a holding base 3. Furthermore, the holding stand 3 has a window 9 and is movable in the Z-axis direction along a guide rail 4, and the guide rail 4 is fixed to a stand 5 on which a form is placed.
台部５の上に積み重ねられた帳票６、上の文字

ナ読取部とは適度な浮上高さを維持することが可
能である。 The characters on the form 6 stacked on the stand 5 are read by one line by moving the hand scanner in the X-axis direction, and the information is sent to the recognition section 8 through the signal cable 7. When the processing of one form is completed, that form is pulled out manually or mechanically. The next form surface appears below the hand scanner, and the next process is performed by moving the hand scanner in the X-axis direction in the same manner as described above. By automatic or manual or mechanical operation,
It is movable in the Z-axis direction, and it is possible to maintain an appropriate flying height between the form surface and the hand scanner reading section.
帳票上の文字行が第２図に示すように多数行に
なる場合は、ハンドスキヤナ２およびガイドレー
ル１がＹ軸方向に行ピツチだけ移動する構造とす
ればよい。 When there are multiple lines of characters on a form as shown in FIG. 2, a structure may be adopted in which the hand scanner 2 and the guide rail 1 move by a line pitch in the Y-axis direction.
本発明の実施例は、Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚ軸方向の動作機
構および帳票のとり出し機構を動力を用いない場
合で示したが、動力を用いて駆動させることもさ
しつかえないことは明白である。 In the embodiment of the present invention, the X, Y, and Z axis movement mechanisms and the form take-out mechanism are shown in a case where no power is used, but it is obvious that they may be driven using power.
又、本発明の実施例は、ガイドレールを用いた
Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚ軸移動で説明されているが、移動する
方法としては、モータによるワイヤ駆動による方
法等も本発明に含まれることは明白である。 Furthermore, although the embodiments of the present invention have been described using guide rails to move in the X, Y, and Z axes, it is clear that the present invention also includes a method of moving by wire drive by a motor. It is.
又、本装置全体を空間的にＸ軸のまわり、ある
いはＹ軸のまわりに90゜ないし、180゜回転して
実装することもできる。 Further, the entire device can be spatially rotated by 90° or 180° around the X-axis or the Y-axis.
本発明は以上説明したように、ハンドスキヤナ
を少なくとも一方向に移動し得るようにすること
により読取りエラーの少ない文字読取装置が得ら
れる。 As described above, the present invention provides a character reading device with fewer reading errors by allowing the hand scanner to move in at least one direction.
