【Example】

An embodiment embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0009] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the credit transaction processing device 11 of this embodiment mainly uses credit cards. a card reader unit 12 for reading data stored in a credit card or the like; Keyboards 18 and 19 for inputting various data, modem 40, and automatic dialing device 41, a printer 21 for printing on slips, and a control hand for controlling the entire device. It is composed of a control unit 31 as a stage and a memory 80 in which various data etc. are stored, The modem 40 and automatic dialing device 41 are connected to an external central processing unit 42 via a telephone line T. is connected to.

0010 At the front of this device (right side in Figure 1) is a card insertion section 16 into which a credit card is inserted. are provided, and the card inserted from here is sent to feed rollers 14a, 14b, 14c, The presser rollers 15a, 15b, 15c move the card along the card transport path 17 to the rear of the device. There is a credit card between the feed rollers 14b and 14c. A reading head 13 is provided for reading data stored on the card. Ru. The card reader section 12 is configured with the above configuration.

[0011] The printer 21 has a platen 25, a paper press roller 26, and a platen 25. A carriage 23 that moves linearly in parallel and a dot printer mounted on the carriage 23 It consists of a cartridge head 22 and a ribbon cassette 24.

0012 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the paper cassette 28 is connected to the main unit as described later. The paper cassette lower 33 and its paper cassette lower It consists of a paper cassette top 32 rotatably supported by a paper cassette 33. Also inside it The pin tractor 29, the tractor drive shaft 38 that holds and guides the pin tractor 29, and the tractor The tag guide shaft 39, the slip guide plate 34 that guides the slip 30, and the slip guide shaft 39 that holds the slip 30. There is a slip holding spring 37 for correctly pulling out the slip, and a slip holding spring 37 for holding the slip when the slip 30 is lost. The lever 35 is pushed by the spring 37 and slides to the right, and the lever 35 is pulled to the left. A tension spring 36 is provided.

[0013] Additionally, a microswitch 40 is installed at the position where the lever 35 slides to the right. When the microswitch 40 is pressed down by the lever 35, the slip is cut off. The system is controlled so that it is detected.

[0014] To explain the drive device using FIG. 6, a pin provided on the shaft of the motor 70 The first idle gear pulley 72 is engaged with the on-gear 71, and the first idle gear pulley 72 is engaged with the on-gear 71. The pulley 72 and the second idle gear pulley 77 are connected by a first timing belt 73, The first idle gear pulley 72 and the platen pulley 75 are connected to the second timing belt 74 are connected. Additionally, the second idle gear pulley 77 and the tractor drive shaft 38 are equipped with The driven tractor gear 76 is engaged.

[0015] The rotational driving force of the motor 70 is transferred from the pinion gear 71 to the first idle gear pulley 72. is further transmitted to the second idle gear pulley 77 by the first timing belt 73. is transmitted to the platen pulley 75 by the second timing belt 74. Also the first The rotational driving force of the second idle gear pulley 77 is transmitted to the tractor gear 76. plastic The rotation of the balance pulley 75 causes the platen 25 to rotate, which in turn causes the tractor gear 76 to rotate. The tractor drive shaft 38 rotates.

[0016] Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the side surface of the paper cassette 28 has a first convex portion 51 and a second convex portion A section 52 is provided. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, inside the recess 60 at the rear of the main unit, A guide portion 61 that engages with the first convex portion 51 and the second convex portion 52 is formed on the side. .

[0017] Next, the effect will be explained.

[0018] When a credit card is inserted into the card insertion section 16, a sensor (not shown) is activated. It is read and sent to the feed rollers 14a to 14c and the presser rollers 15a to 15c. The card is sent to the left and stored on the credit card by the reading head 13. The data is read.

[0019] A modem 40 and an automatic dialing device 41 are connected to an external central processing unit 42. , and input the details of the credit card transaction using the keyboard while looking at the display section 20. input from the keyboard 18, 19, communication data and input from the keyboard 18, 19 The processing results obtained from the data are sent to the printer 21.

[0020] The slip 30 in the paper cassette 28 is moved between the pin tractor 29, the platen 25 and the paper cassette 28. The paper is sent to the printer 21 by the presser roller 26, and the printer 21 presses the platen. A dot print head mounted on a carriage 23 that moves linearly parallel to the line 25. 22 is pulled out from the ribbon cassette 24 and placed on the outside of the platen 25 from above the ribbon. The transaction processing result is printed on the slip 30 that is fed in so as to be rolled up. Printing The operation is completed by cutting the output slip 30 along the perforation.

[0021] When the slip 30 runs out, the slip holding spring 37 moves to the right and the lever 35 Pull the lever and slide it to the right against the spring 36, so that the right end of the lever 35 When the switch 40 is pressed, it is detected that the slip 30 is missing.

[0022] Then, from the state shown in FIG. 8(a), lift the rear end of the paper cassette 28 and Remove the convex part 51 from the concave part 61a of the guide part 61, and guide the second convex part 52 as it is. Remove the paper cassette 28 by removing it backward along the section 61. paper cassette packaging When landing, do the opposite.

[0023] After removing the paper cassette 28 from the main body of the device, 2 as shown in the dashed-dotted line in Figure 3, load a new slip 30, and insert the tip of the paper. Set the end on the pin tractor 29 and attach it to the main body of the device again. on keyboard 18 By pressing a certain paper feed key, the leading edge of the slip 30 is fed to a predetermined position. here Slip 30 is a fan-hold paper and is folded and stored, so it is difficult to focus. Many slips pulled out by the tractor 29 rise to the pin tractor 29 side at the same time. , the slip holding spring 37 prevents the slip from being sent correctly.

[0024] In addition, in such a printer 21, the trailing edge of the printed paper is at least pressed against the paper. It must be held by the roller 26 and platen 25, and the It may not be possible to print on the next sheet. In such a case, at the perforations It must be detected that a slip is missing while printing the second to last page of a partitioned slip. Therefore, it is important to take the distance from the print position to the slip detection position. Therefore, it becomes necessary.

[0025] As is clear from the detailed description above, the credit transaction processing device of this embodiment Now, the paper cassette 28 containing the slip 30 is removable from the main device. Therefore, the slip 30 can be easily exchanged. Also, the slip 30 is exposed to the outside. It is also preferable in terms of appearance.

[0026] It is also configured to detect when a slip is broken using a lever 35 and a microswitch. Therefore, it is easy to know when a slip is expired.

[0027] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments detailed above, and there may be no deviation from the spirit thereof. It is possible to change the range that does not apply.

[0028]

[Effect of the idea]

As is clear from the detailed explanation above, the credit transaction processing device of the present invention The case containing the slip is removable from the main unit, making it easy to replace the slip. It can be done easily. Also, the slips are not exposed to the outside, which is good for appearance. .
