Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium leader, and particularly to a position regulating mechanism for a magnetic recording medium leader.

Among the readers that use magnetic bankbooks and the like as recording media, there is a moving magnetic head type reader. However, since magnetic recording media such as magnetic bankbooks have different magnetic stripe positions depending on their specifications, the mounting position of the magnetic recording medium reader must be adjusted according to the specifications of the bankbook or the like to be used. Therefore, in conventional readers for magnetic recording media of this kind, a position regulating plate is provided on the main body of the processing device to which the reader is attached, and this position regulating plate is moved according to the specifications of the passbook, etc. A position regulating mechanism adapted to match the stripe position is provided.
However, with the above-mentioned conventional position regulating mechanism for magnetic recording media readers, it is necessary to adjust the stripe position while moving the reader body every time the specifications of the recording medium such as a bankbook change, and the magnetic recording Adjusting the stripe position is troublesome for users of media readers.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a reader for magnetic recording media that allows users of magnetic recording media readers to easily adjust the position of the magnetic head in response to changes in the specifications of recording media such as magnetic bankbooks. The goal is to provide leadership.

The present invention is provided in a processing device having a reference surface for placing a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic stripe on which data to be reproduced is recorded at a predetermined position.
In a magnetic recording medium reader comprising a magnetic head that moves in a direction parallel to the reference plane to read data recorded on the magnetic stripe, A regulating section is provided in the processing device, and a position regulating plate that can be freely engaged with and detached from the regulating section is provided on the magnetic recording medium reader so that it can be removed and replaced, and by replacing the position regulating plate, the position of the magnetic head relative to the reference plane can be adjusted. The feature is that the position can be adjusted.

The present invention will now be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a processing device main body to which a recording medium reader is attached, and by applying one side of a recording medium such as a bankbook to the processing device main body 1, the position of the recording medium can be adjusted. A reference surface 2 is formed that provides a. The recording medium reader has a frame-shaped main body including side plates 3 and 4, a connecting plate 5 connecting the side plates 3 and 4, and a head movement guide bar 6 connecting the side plates 3 and 4. By screwing the screws passed through the long holes 10, 11, 12 formed in the bent portions 7, 8, 9 of the side plates 3, 4 into the frame integrated with the processing device main body 1, the recording medium can be removed. A reader is attached to the main body 1 of the processing apparatus. A frame-shaped head support base 14 is fitted into the guide bar 6 and the other guide bar 13 so as to be movable along the guide bars 6,13. One of the guide bars 6 has a head support lever 15 which is surrounded by the head support base 14 and is movable along the guide bar 6 together with the head support base 14 and rotates around the guide bar 6. It is movable.
A magnetic head 16 is integrally supported on the head support lever 15 at a rising portion of its free end. The head support lever 15 is connected to the guide bar 6
A coil spring 17 inserted through the outer periphery of the magnetic head 16 is biased to rotate the magnetic head 16 clockwise in FIG. A regulating member 18 is spanned between the side plates 3 and 4, and the bending side edge 19 of the regulating member 18 defines the limit of rotation of the head support lever 15 due to the biasing force of the spring 17. It's getting old. The limit of rotation of the head support lever 15 is defined at a position where the magnetic head 16 can reliably come into sliding contact with the magnetic stripe of the recording medium.

A motor 20 is fixed inside the side plate 3, and a gear pulley 21 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 20 passing through the side plate 3. Gear pulley 21
A gear belt 22 is hung on the gear belt 22.
is hung on a gear pulley 23 supported by the side plate 3. The gear pulley 23 is provided integrally with a feed screw 24 supported between the side plates 3 and 4, and the feed screw 24 is driven by the motor 20 to drive the transmission systems 21 and 2.
2 and 23, the head support base 14 is moved along the guide bars 6 and 13 in the direction of arrow B in FIG. It is designed to be transported in the direction of

Position regulating plates 25 and 26 are screwed to the side plates 3 and 4. The position regulating plates 25 and 26 are formed so that their projected shapes from the side surfaces are the same. Now, the position regulating plate 2 shown in FIG.
5, the position regulating plate 25 is located on the side plate 3.
hole 29 for the fixing screw and positioning pin hole 2
6, 27 and a protrusion 28 on the upper edge,
Pins 30 and 31 fixed to the side plate 3 are fitted into the pin holes 26 and 27, and the screws 32 inserted through the holes 29 are screwed into the side plate 3, thereby fixing the position regulating plate 25 to the side plate 3. has been done. Position regulation plate 2
The protrusion 28 of No. 5 fits into a regulation hole 35 formed in a regulation part 34 on the processing apparatus main body side. The other position regulating plate 26 is similarly formed, and its protrusion fits into a regulating hole on the processing apparatus main body side, thereby regulating the relative positional relationship of the reader with respect to the processing apparatus main body.

Incidentally, arrow A in FIG. 1 indicates the direction in which the recording medium is inserted.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, the position of the magnetic head 16 with respect to the reference surface 2 depends on the positions of the protrusions of the position regulating plates 25 and 26 fixed to the side plates 3 and 4. . Therefore, when the specifications of a recording medium such as a magnetic passbook change and it is necessary to change the position of the magnetic head 16 with respect to the reference surface 2, the position regulating plates 25 and 26 are removed from the side plates 3 and 4, and the position where the protrusions are formed is changed. By attaching another position regulating plate with different values to the side plates 3 and 4 and fitting the protrusion of the position regulating plate into the regulating hole on the processing device main body side, the overall position of the reader with respect to the reference plane 2, and therefore the position of the magnetic head 16, can be adjusted. Once the position is determined, the magnetic head 16 can be brought into proper sliding contact with the magnetic stripe of the recording medium with different specifications.

3 and 4 show different position regulating plates 38 and 39, respectively, and each position regulating plate 3
8, 39 have screw holes 29 and pin holes 26, 27 at the same positions as the position regulating plate 25, and similarly to the position regulating plate 25, the side plates 3,
4, each position regulating plate 38, 39 has protrusions 40, 41 at different positions. Therefore, by selecting the position regulating plates fixed to the side plates 3 and 4 of the recording medium leader according to the specifications of the recording medium, it is possible to adapt to any specification of the recording medium.

According to the present invention, it is possible to correspond to recording media of various specifications by simply replacing the position regulating plate according to the specifications of the recording medium, so there is no need to make troublesome adjustments according to the specifications of the recording medium. Users such as banks can easily handle the system and change the specifications of magnetic passbooks, etc.
