Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a printing machine for transferring cards carried by customers used for credit sales, that is, an imprinter. Alternatively, the position of the imprinter base can be adjusted so that each person's distribution slip, that is, the printing material at a hospital or the like, can be fixed and received at an appropriate position on the imprinter base at the time of printing.

Conventionally, the formats and dimensions of the slips printed by imprinters are different for each department store, bank, hospital, etc. that uses the imprinter, so the imprinter is printed according to the format and dimensions of the slips used at the sales destination. It is necessary to be able to attach a slip frame, and in reality there are hundreds or hundreds of forms of slip frames available.
If there is no next order, that mold will be wasted, and sorting and organizing a large number of molds will be an unnecessary burden of labor.

This invention focuses on the above-mentioned reality, and makes it possible to adjust the position of various slips used by customers etc. so that they can be placed at appropriate positions on the base of the imprinter, and eliminates the need to prepare a large number of molds. It is an attempt to omit things that should not be done.

The structure and operation of the embodiments of the present invention are explained below.
To explain the effect, reference numeral 1 denotes a leg stand of the imprinter, and legs 2, 2 made of rubber material or the like are provided below the leg stand so that it can be easily placed on a sales counter.

The base 1 has a card frame 4 on the upper surface for fixing a customer-carrying card 3, and a store name plate 5 on which a name or code number of a store such as a department store or a bank that uses an imprinter is projected. A printing base 9 is fixedly provided with a store name plate 6 to be fixed, a date type wheel 7, and a slip frame 8 for placing a slip to be printed in a fixed position. A printing head 12 is rotatably supported by a pivot 11 on two projections 10, 10 provided at the ends of the base, and the head is lowered onto the printing base 9. When it is lifted from the base 9, it is ready for printing, in which a slip or the like is placed on the base 9.

In the printing head 12, a mechanism frame 13 consisting of two vertical side plates and a shaft holding the side plates at an appropriate interval is pivotally mounted on the protrusions 10, 10 of the base 9. , the printing head 12 is mounted on the base 9 in the mechanism frame 13.
The long groove 1 is parallel to the top surface of the base 9 when it is lowered.
A printing roller 1 is formed in the long groove.
5 are movably arranged. The mechanism frame 13
The arm portion 17, whose one end is pivotally attached 16, has a forked portion formed at its tip fitted onto the shaft portion of the printing roller 15, and is pulled toward the shaft 11 side of the printing head 12 by the action of the spring 18, and It is stopped at the end of the long groove 14. An operating section 20 having an operating section 19 formed at its tip is rotatably attached to the mechanism frame 13.
1, and the bent other end 22 of the operating section is connected to the arm section 17 via a link 23. The mechanism frame 13 is covered with a cover 24 that is screwed. A plan view of the slip frame 8 with the printing head 12 removed (second
As explained in Figure), the slip frame 8 is fixed to the base 9 with three tightening screws 25, and the intervals between the grooves are equal on the right side of the card frame 4 outward from the base 9. The four parallel narrow grooves 26 form the printing roller 1.
The narrow groove 26 is formed so that its longitudinal direction coincides with the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the store name plate 6. Although not necessarily necessary, the narrow groove 26 is provided below the store name plate 6 for convenience when handling a large number of specific slips. Two narrow grooves 2 parallel to
7 are formed, and the interval between the grooves 27 is an integral multiple of the interval between the grooves 26. Furthermore, axis 1
Four narrow grooves 28 whose longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the narrow grooves 26 and 27 are formed on the first side, and the intervals between the grooves are equal to those of the grooves 26. Each narrow groove 2
L-shaped slidable slip frame pieces 29, 29, 29 each having a vertical surface are fixedly attached to 6, 27, 28 with screws 30, respectively, so that the mounting position can be adjusted.

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the mobile card 3 submitted by the customer is fitted into the card frame 4, a predetermined slip is placed on top of the card, the printing head 12 is lowered, and the operation is performed. When the portion 19 is pressed downward, the arm 17 rotates against the action of the spring 18.
The printing roller 15 in the forked part is pivoted 1 in the long groove 14.
Move it in the direction away from 1. When the printing roller 15 is moved, it can press the slip against a printing part such as a customer code number provided on the printing base 9 to print data. When the pressure on the operating portion 19 is released, the printing roller 15 returns to its original position on the pivot shaft 11 side by the action of the spring 18.

Each slip frame piece 29 of the slip frame 8 has each narrow groove 26, 2.
Since the slots 7 and 28 are slidable in the longitudinal direction of the grooves, the slip frame pieces can be freely adjusted horizontally and vertically depending on the size of the slip. The slip frame piece 29 attached to the narrow groove 27 formed below the slip frame 8 is convenient only when handling a large number of specific slips, and is therefore not necessarily required.

Furthermore, since the spacing between the narrow grooves is equal or a multiple of an integral number, they can be replaced. Therefore, it can be conveniently adjusted to the format and size of the printing substrate handled at the user's reception counter of a department store, retail store, bank, or hospital, etc., and when fixed in a predetermined position, the L-shaped rising part can be used to print slips. Since the position of the paper is automatically determined, it can be used as another slip frame for departments that handle printed materials of various formats and sizes. Since it is no longer necessary to prepare hundreds of frame molds, the effect in terms of resource saving is significant.
