Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an automatic securities issuance device linked to a computer, and more particularly, to an automatic securities issuance device that is linked to a computer, and more specifically, to provide stamping necessary for certificates of securities such as bills and checks entered into a computer. The present invention relates to an automatic securities issuance device that can automatically issue all the information and thus automatically issue the above-mentioned securities.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in securities such as bills and checks, everything except the amount display area is indicated by hand or a rubber stamp, and the amount display area is printed out using a special printing device such as a check writer. It is something that can be done.

In other words, a special check writer was required to display the amount of money in order to prevent falsification.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, there are often cases where companies issue a large number of bills, and in such cases, conventional methods are extremely difficult and inefficient.

Electronic checkwriters are commercially available as devices to solve this problem, but these checkwriters are not capable of automatically stamping a large number of securities in succession, and are also unable to automatically issue securities themselves.

In order to solve these problems, it is conceivable to print out and issue large quantities using electronic computers, but in this case, the amount display part is printed by a printer, so it is difficult to use this printing method. There was a problem that the amount displayed could be easily falsified, and unless this was resolved, the securities would not meet the Bank of Japan's eligibility criteria and could not be used.

Focusing on these points, the present invention is designed to print electronically by punching out only the amount display by a stamping machine, while the necessary information for securities printed out by an electronic computer, excluding the amount display section, is printed out by a printer. The goal is to automatically issue securities in conjunction with a computer, and the purpose is to automatically issue securities in large quantities by automatically printing out the necessary information for securities entered into the computer. To provide an automatic issuing device for securities which can be issued continuously and in which the amount displayed on the amount display part of the securities is imprinted so that it cannot be tampered with. Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for issuing securities in which the series of feeding steps from printing to stamping the amount on the printer side is very simple and operates with high precision.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the present invention and the above objects, the following configuration is adopted. That is, it is an automatic securities issuance device that can issue securities continuously in response to output signals from a computer, and a removable automatic issuance device main body 1 is attached to a printer 3 connected to the computer main body. , and the automatic issuing device main body 1
The mounting plate 2 on which a large number of securities can be set, and the amount display section 9 are provided by the printer 3.
a guide case 4 that guides the sending of securities with predetermined information printed with only 0s left;
a detection means for detecting the securities sent to the case 4; a sending means that is activated when detected by the detection means to transfer the securities into the case 4; and the securities by the printer 3. Simultaneously with the completion of printing, a motor 62 selects the amount to be displayed on the securities amount display section 90 based on a signal sent from the computer 87 via the controller 86, and a symbol or symbol is attached to the outer periphery of the motor 62, which operates in conjunction with the motor 62. Consists of a rotatably provided printing disk 69 with numbers engraved thereon to display the amount on the securities transferred along the case 4, and a stamping hammer 81 that hits the printing disk 69. It consists of a stamping machine.

(Function) Since the automatic issuance device for securities is configured as described above, first, a large number of securities are inserted into the automatic issuance device main body 1 attached to the printer 3, and in this state, they are inserted into the computer main body side. When input or inputted contents are output to the printer 3 side, necessary information such as the date, address and name of the issuer are printed on the inserted securities, and the leading edge of the securities is printed on the entrance side of the guide case 4. will be sent and guided. Note that the items printed by the printer 3 are printed in all columns except the amount display section 90.

In this way, the amount display section 9 is displayed by the printer 3.
When the leading edge reaches the guide case 4 while necessary information other than 0 is printed during the feeding guide of the securities, the detection means detects the securities A and at the same time the feeding means provided in the guide case 4 Accordingly, the securities are sequentially sent to the case 4.

In this way, the securities are sequentially printed and guided into the guide case 4, and as soon as the printing is completed, they are sent to the printing disk 69 via a separately provided controller in response to an output signal from the computer side.
The motor 62 that drives selects symbols and numbers to be displayed on the amount display section 90 based on the output signal, rotates the printing disk 69 to select and position the desired symbols and numbers, and outputs the output signal from the controller. As a result, the stamping hammer 81 is raised and stamped on the amount display section 90 of the securities positioned between the hammer 81 and the printing disk 69, and the selection of symbols and numbers on the printing disk and the driving of the hammer are performed. By repeating the process sequentially, the amounts corresponding to the output signals are printed in sequence, and securities are automatically issued.

In this way, the present invention allows the printer 3 to insert a large number of securities from the automatic issuance device 1 attached to the printer 3, so that the printer linked to the computer prints fields other than the amount display area and displays the amount. The display section is stamped by a stamping machine, and thus a large number of securities are automatically and continuously stamped and issued based on the information input into the computer.

Reference numeral 89 indicates a cover attached to the device main body 1.

The state of use of the automatic bill issuance device having the above configuration will be explained.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the device body 1 is installed in the dot printer 3, and, for example, 100 sheets of paper A are placed on the mounting plate 2 of the device body 1 as shown in FIG. Insert it in the longitudinal direction with the back side facing forward.

In this case, since the apparatus main body 1 is configured to be removably attached to the dot printer 3, it can be easily attached to an existing dot printer 3.

In this state, when the required information inputted in advance into the computer 87, such as recipient, amount, payment date, date of payment, issuer, etc., is outputted to the dot printer 3 side, the items other than the amount among the required information are output. As the dot printer 3 sequentially guides the bill paper A from the rubber roller 96 through the platen 82, horizontal characters are printed by the print head 95 at predetermined locations on the paper A in the vertical direction.

In this way, the feeding of the handprint paper A and the printing by the dot printer 3 are performed simultaneously, and the handprint paper A
The tip A ₁ of the guide case 4 as shown in Figure 9 A.
When the center 9 detects the bill paper A sent into the entrance opening 7 of the paper, the drive motor 36 is driven by the output signal of the controller 86, and the motor shaft 37, the gear 38, and the gear 38 are driven by the drive motor 36. The meshing gears 39 and 53 rotate, and the drive shaft 40 becomes rotatable due to the rotation of the gear 39.
The first driven shaft 45 and the second driven shaft 50, which are connected to the motor 0 via belts 43 and 48, are also in a rotating state.

Therefore, as the first driven shaft 45 rotates, the rubber roller 47 fixed to the first driven shaft 45 rotates, and the feed roller 11 that is in contact with the rubber roller 47 is also driven to rotate. The incoming bill paper A is transferred into the case 4 very smoothly as shown in FIG. 9B.

At this time, the rubber rollers 42, 52 fixed to the drive shaft 40 and the second driven shaft 50, respectively, are moved so that the facing feed rollers 16, 17 resist the tensile force of the springs 26, 27 as shown in FIG. The protrusions 23 of the locking pins 23 and 24 of the feed rollers 16 and 17
Since the rubber rollers 42, 52 and the feed rollers 16, 17 are in a non-contact state because the rubber rollers 42, 52 and the feed rollers 16, 17 are located on the bulging surface 35 of the rotary plate 29, the rubber rollers 42, 52 are in an idling state.

Further, the gear 53, which is meshed with the gear 38 on the motor shaft 37 side and rotates in the same direction, is in an idling state with respect to the idle shaft 54, so the idle shaft 54 is in a non-rotating state.

Next, as described above, by the rotation of the feed roller 11 and the rubber roller 47 on the first driven shaft 45 side, the bill paper A is sent and guided into the case 4 while the necessary information is printed in order by the dot printer 3. printing, that is, the amount display section 90
When the printing of all the required information except for Output signals are sent to 71, respectively.

As a result, first, the drive motor 36 rotates slightly in the opposite direction, and at the same time, the gear 53 idling through the motor shaft 37 and the gear 38 rotates in the opposite direction, and when the idle shaft 54 rotates in the same direction, it is brought into a state where it does not face the sensor 55. As a result of the rotation of the cam 57, the protrusion detection part 56 of the cam 57 located at the position of the sensor 55 rotates to follow the rotation of the cam 57, and the cam 61 on the tip side of the idler shaft 54 also rotates. The pin 60 rotates in the elongated hole 59 of the support plate 58 of the movable plate 29, and the movable plate 29 moves slightly from the state shown in FIGS. 3 and 7 to the position shown in FIG. 10 via the support plate 58. do. Therefore, the feed rollers 23, 24
As shown in FIG. 10, the locking pins 23 and 24 of the movable plate 29 are lowered from the bulging surface 35 to a position on the flat surface 34, and the feed rollers 23 and 24 are placed on the drive shaft 40 side facing each other. A spring 26 is attached to the rubber roller 42 and the rubber roller 52 on the second driven shaft 50 side.
The tensile force of 27 provides a more secure contact.

Note that the cam 57 having the protrusion detection portion 56 is
When the detection unit 56 rotates to the facing position detected by the sensor 55, an output signal is immediately sent from the controller 86 to the drive motor 36 via the sensor 55, and the motor 36 returns to its normal state. Return and rotate. As a result, the drive shaft 40
The first and second driven shafts 45 and 50 rotate normally, and the rubber rollers 42 and 52 and the feed roller 1
As shown in FIG. 11, the bill paper A is securely sandwiched between the paper sheets 6 and 17 and sent to the exit opening 6 side within the case 4.

Next, the pulse motor 62 is operated by the controller 8.
Based on the output signal from 6, that is, the command of symbols and numbers displayed on the amount display section 90 of bill paper A,
By rotating the gears 65 and 66 via the motor shaft 64, symbols and numbers engraved on the outer periphery of the printing disk 69 are selected, and a printing section 68 consisting of the desired symbols and numbers is placed at a position facing the stamping hammer 81. Select and position.

When this selective positioning of the printing disk 69 is performed by the pulse motor 62, the cam 74 is synchronized with the pulse motor 62 via the motor shaft 72 of the shade removal motor 71 which is driven by the output signal from the controller 86.
rotates. When the cam 74 rotates, the pair of protrusions 73 lock and rotate the pin 84 against the tensile force of the spring 83, and as a result, the arm 75 moves to the eighth position.
When the pin 76 is rotated from the state shown in the figure to the state shown in FIG. 12, the swinging rod 80 swings slightly from the horizontal state shown in FIG. 8 to the state shown in FIG. As a result, as the swinging rod 80 swings, the stamping hammer 81 attached to the other end momentarily rises within the upper plate 10 and is moved between the hammer 81 and the printing disk 69. The bill paper A, which is being positioned by the feed rollers 16 and 17, is struck from the back side of the amount display section 90 onto the desired printing section 68 of the printing disk 69, so that the desired amount display section 90 is displayed. Symbols and numbers will be stamped on it.

Moreover, since high-quality notches are engraved on the printing portion 68 of the printing disk 69 and the stamping surface of the stamping hammer 81, the symbols and numbers stamped on the amount display section 90 will never be stamped. It will be stamped with notches so that it cannot be tampered with. In this way, the amount display section 90 is fed with the bill paper A positioned and sandwiched between the two feed rollers 16 and 17 and the rubber rollers 42 and 52, so that the amount display section 90 is
0 is in a stretched state, so that the printed content will not be misaligned from the display section 90 or will not be stamped on wrinkled paper.

Next, as described above, the pulse motor 62 rotates the printing disk 69 while selecting the printing content on the printing disk 69 according to the output signal of the controller 86, and the marking hammer 81 sequentially strikes the printing disk intermittently. The amount entered into the electronic computer 87 side is stamped on the amount display section 90 of the bill paper A, and the printing of the bill A is completed.

When the amount is displayed in this way, bill paper A
are sequentially discharged from the exit side opening 6 of the case 4 into the outer take-out case 91 by the feed rollers 16 and 17, and can therefore be issued as a bill A as shown in FIG. 14C.

The note A issued in this way is
By cutting off the bill body 93 side, it can be used without any difference from currently available bills. Note that the above-mentioned bill paper A is set in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) and transported in the same direction, but since all the printing is done in the horizontal direction as on the printing surface, it is different from the one currently used. There is no difference in appearance.

As described above, through the series of operations of the controller 86, dot printer 3, and issuing device in conjunction with the computer 87, it has become possible to issue a large number of bills fully automatically and continuously.

The paper issued by this issuing device is widely used for not only the above-mentioned bills, but also checks, securities such as stock certificates, and any type of paper that can be traded as a cash certificate. It is something that

Next, in the above embodiment, as the bill paper feeding mechanism, the feed roller 11 on the entrance side of the case 4 starts feeding the original bill paper, and when the amount display starts, the feed roller 16 in the center of the case starts feeding the bill paper. Since the paper is sent by driving the feed roller 17 on the exit side, the two feed rollers 16,
Although there are practical benefits that can be achieved by being positioned and transported by the two feed rollers 1
6 and 17 are not essential requirements of the present invention. Then,
The bill paper feeding mechanism is by no means limited to the embodiment.

Further, although a dot printer is used as the printer in the embodiment, the type of printer is not particularly limited.

Furthermore, the detection means is not limited to the above-mentioned sensors, and the controller can also be incorporated into the main body of the apparatus without being separate.

In addition, the configuration of each part is by no means limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be replaced or designed within the intended scope of the present invention.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, since the present invention provides an automatic securities issuing device in conjunction with a computer as described above, it has achieved the following special effects.

Therefore, it is possible to automatically and continuously issue large amounts of securities, such as 100 securities at a time. This dramatically improves the work of issuing securities and provides completely new and useful effects that have never existed before.

Therefore, the present invention has succeeded in issuing a large amount of securities in an extremely short period of time and completely automatically, which has been considered a very difficult task in the past. It gave an effect.

(c) In addition, all securities issued are printed with a printer except for the amount displayed, and only the amount is stamped with a stamping machine, so the entire printing process is done at a very high speed, and the amount displayed As a result, the issued securities pass the eligibility criteria of the Bank of Japan, and all the problems of the conventional ones are solved, and such electronic computers The device for issuing securities that automatically and continuously prints and issues documents in conjunction with the present invention has never existed before, and is the first to appear in the world through the present invention, and its effects are immeasurable. There is something.

(d) In addition, the series of processes from printing to stamping sent from the printer side to the stamping machine side is a continuous work process, so printing, stamping, and feeding of securities are always accurate and efficient. Since it can be performed with high precision, it is possible to prevent misalignment of printing and stamping positions due to feeding errors, etc., and has the practical benefit of being able to issue securities accurately.

(e) Furthermore, since securities can be printed and stamped directly on bill paper etc. issued by financial institutions, the work can be done without the need for special paper, which has the advantage of being extremely practical.
