On the other hand, as a method for multiple stacking of double-page folded and bound booklets such as passbooks used for bank transactions, there is a method of loading the above-mentioned passbooks with them closed, but there is no problem even if you load them with the pages open. There was no known method or device for dispensing the bankbooks one by one from the loading position.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As mentioned above, when multiple stacks of passbooks are loaded with the pages open, since the passbook is a fold-bound booklet, "uneven binding" occurs in the center of the passbook, which causes the stacked passbooks to be stacked one by one. This is a major obstacle when it comes to getting started.

Furthermore, generally known magnetic tape is pasted on the surface of the passbook, and data indicating the uniqueness of the passbook is recorded, but when loaded multiple times as described above, the previous period of each passbook is There was a problem in that the data recorded on the magnetic tape could not be read at the same time as it was loaded.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional multiple passbook storing and printing device, and also to solve the problem when dispensing multi-loaded passbooks one by one. To provide a multi-passbook storage and printing device that can be fed out without any trouble and that can read data recorded on the magnetic tape without delay when loading additional passbooks without delay. .

[Means for solving problems]

The above object of the present invention is to provide a passbook temporary storage member having a radial passbook storage groove configured to be rotatable about an axis in a passbook printing device having a passbook conveyance means and a printing means, and to This is achieved by a multiple passbook storage and printing device, which is characterized by being connected to a passbook temporary storage member.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the key point is to separate the passbooks that are successively loaded for printing by storing them in the radial passbook storage grooves of the temporary passbook storage member.

When a passbook is loaded into one of the plurality of passbook storage grooves, the passbook temporary storage member rotates so that the next passbook can be loaded, so that passbooks can be loaded one after another, and multiple passbooks can be stacked. It will perform the same function as loading.

In addition, when a magnetic tape reading section is provided in front of the passbook temporary storage member, the magnetic tape data attached to the passbook can be read in parallel with the operation of storing the passbook in the passbook storage groove. Then,
It becomes possible to immediately associate the read data, that is, the unique identification data regarding the bankbook, with the bankbook storage location.

A passbook pinching roller 5 is provided for conveying the passbook in the passbook storage groove 2 into the passbook conveying path 6. In addition, in the passbook conveyance path 6,
A known bankbook transport roller 7 and a print head 8 are provided.

The relative positional relationship of the above-mentioned components is shown in FIG. 2 as a side view.

Note that the passbook 9 used in this embodiment is a booklet-like passbook made of folded and bound sheets of paper as shown in FIG.
is pasted, and data such as an account number to identify the passbook from others is written here.

The operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5a to 5f.

The initial position of the groove wheel 1 is the passbook storage groove 2 of the groove wheel 1.
is in the same plane as the passbook guide plate 3. When the bankbook 9 to be printed is inserted along the bankbook guide plate 3, the bankbook 9 will be stored in the bankbook storage groove 2 as it is when the groove wheel 1 is at the initial position (Fig. 5a). , b).

At this time, the information in the magnetic tape 10 on the passbook 9 is read when passing through the magnetic tape reading section 4, and the identification information unique to the passbook and the passbook storage groove 2 position in which the passbook 9 is currently inserted are read. (number). The results of this association may be made into a table and referred to, for example, when taking out the bankbook 9 from the bankbook storage groove 2.

As shown in FIG. 5c, when the passbook 9 is stored in the passbook storage groove 2, this is detected and the groove wheel 1 starts rotating, and the passbook storage groove 2 in which the passbook 9 is stored
rotates to a position facing the bankbook conveyance path 6 and stops (Fig. 5c, d).

Next, the passbook pinching roller 5 pinches and rotates the passbook 9, sucking the passbook 9 into the passbook conveying path 6 (Fig. 5 e, e'), and thereafter:
The bankbook 9 is conveyed to the printing head 8 by the bankbook conveyance roller 7 and the like.

Regarding the data to be printed on the passbook 9, as described above, the correspondence between them is determined based on the position (number) of the passbook storage groove 2 and the data read from the magnetic tape 10 affixed to the passbook 9. Therefore, printing is performed without error (Fig. 5f).
