Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a card stacker in which a large number of cards such as telephone cards are stacked and housed, and the cards are sequentially carried out from the lowest one in response to a carry-out signal.

[Conventional technology]

As this type of card stacker, the one shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is used. In the figure, 1 is a telephone card and 2 is a card stacker. Reference numeral 3 denotes a case of the card stacker 2, which is composed of left and right side plates 4 facing each other upright, front and rear side plates 5 fixed to the side plates 4 so as to downwardly expand the inner dimension in the longitudinal direction of the case 3, and a bottom plate 6. To be done. One side plate 4 is provided with a notch 41 as a card storage window so that the telephone card 1 can be stored easily. Numerals 7a to 7d are feed rollers constituting an unloading device, and numeral 8 is a weight.

In the card stacker 2, a large number of telephone cards 1 are housed in a case 3 in a stack, and the lowermost telephone card 1 is pressed by a weight 8 against a feed roller 7a that makes the outer peripheral surface look into the case. By the rotation of the feed roller 7a in response to the carry-out signal, the telephone card 1 in the lowermost stage is fed forward, carried out from the gate 3a formed on the lower front surface of the case 1, and successively fed by the feed roller 7b and the pair of feed rollers 7c. , 7d, and sent out to an outlet (not shown). As the lowermost telephone card 1 is sequentially carried out, the telephone cards 1 in the second and higher stages from the bottom drop on the bottom plate 6 under their own weight and the force of the weight 8.

Next, the effect that the front and rear side plates 5 of the case 3 are inclined in the front-rear direction will be described. When the side plate 5 is vertical, the telephone card 1 housed in the case 3 as shown in FIG.
While falling, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), it is caught in a bridge shape between the side plate 5 and the bottom plate 6, or as shown in Fig. 5 (c), the two telephone cards 1 adhering to each other are There is a problem that the side plate 5 is caught and bridged between them, and the side plate 5 is not normally dropped onto the bottom plate 6. However, by tilting the side plate 5 so that the inner dimension of the case 3 is widened downward, the telephone card 1 is bridged even if it tends to catch on the side plate 5 as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C. Without falling, it immediately falls and is normally stacked on the bottom plate 6.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the conventional card stacker 2, the stored telephone card 1 may cause the trouble shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C in the lateral direction thereof, and a countermeasure against this is a problem. As a countermeasure, left and right side plates 4
It is not practical to incline the same as the side plate 5 because the side plate 4 is provided with a bearing for supporting the roller shafts of the feed rollers 7a and 7b, which causes a greater inconvenience.

An object of the present invention is to provide a card stacker that can eliminate the problem that the card is caught on the case side plate in the lateral direction without tilting the left and right side plates 4.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a card stacker that has a case for stacking a large number of rectangular cards and stores the cards in order is carried out by a carrying-out device provided at the bottom of the case. There, and in a case where a card storage window is formed in a notch on at least one side plate facing the card short side direction of the case, on the inner surface of the side plate, it protrudes into the case and runs vertically. In addition, the guide length is made larger than that of the lower part so that the upper end is inclined, and two guide plates are provided.
In addition, the guide plate is formed by bending the left and right window edges of the card storage window inward.

[Operation] The falling card is guided by the guide plate instead of the side plate, and this guide plate is inclined so that the inner dimension in the lateral direction of the case expands downward. It will not hang up.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention,
Portions common to or the same as those in FIGS. 3 and 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 42 denotes a vertically extending guide plate which is formed by bending the left and right window edges inward when the notch 41 as a card storage window is provided in the side plate 4. . The upper part of the guide plate 42 is larger than the lower part and protrudes into the case 3, and the tip surface of the guide plate 42 is inclined so that the inner dimension of the case 3 in the lateral direction is expanded downward. Further, in the embodiment, the case where the guide plate 42 is formed only on one side plate 4 is shown, but it is of course possible to form the guide plate 42 on both the left and right side plates 4.

In the above-mentioned configuration, when the telephone card 1 stored in the case is dropped all at once as it is carried out from the lowermost one, the telephone card 1 is guided by the guide plate 42 in its lateral direction and drops. However, since the tip end surface of the guide plate 42 is inclined as described above, the short edge of the telephone card 1 in the lateral direction is caught on the guide plate 42 as shown in FIG. 5 (b) or (c). Even then, by the same action as the side plate 5 in the longitudinal direction is inclined, it slides down as it is, and the telephone card 1 is normally dropped and stacked on the bottom plate 6 without bridging.

[Effect of device]

According to this invention, the inner dimension of the case is expanded downward by the guide plate 42 that is inclined and protrudes on the inner surface of the side plate formed by bending the left and right window edges of the card storage window. Can prevent the trouble that the card always falls normally as it is carried out and is caught on the way and cannot be carried out, without tilting the side plates of the case that face in the lateral direction of the card. Moreover, the guide plate can be easily formed by bending the edge of the window, and at the same time, the rigidity of the side plate can be increased to form a robust case.
