Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a card supply device for prepaid cards, cash cards, business card mounts, photographs and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When supplying cards with a card supply device, the cards are stacked in a cartridge that is a card storage unit and can be separated from the main unit, and the cards at the bottom are pushed out in sequence, but at the bottom. In order to supply one card at a time, one by one, a gate with a gap corresponding to the thickness of the card is provided, and the gate is provided with a slope to make it easier to pass even warped cards. There is. At this time, the cards on it are also subjected to the force in the direction of being pushed out by the frictional resistance, so when the cards are sequentially supplied one by one, the cards remaining in the cartridge form a shape along the slope of the gate. When removing the cartridge from the card feeder to remove the remaining card, the card could be damaged if you attempted to remove the cartridge while the card was in the slope or the gate.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to remove the card remaining in the cartridge, the present invention arranges the card in a simple way and pushes it back into the cartridge even when the card is still in the gate when removing it from the card supply device. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a card supply device that can be taken out without damaging the card.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a card supply device, in which a cartridge 1 separable from the device body 4 is normally pulled upward by a spring 5, and a lever 2 slidable up and down is attached to the device body 4. When the lever 2 is pushed down, the lever 7 and the spring 8 are attached so as to rotate clockwise around the fulcrum 9 and push the remaining card 10 back to the cartridge 1.

In addition, the cartridge 12 that is separable from the apparatus body 4 is provided with a protrusion 13, and is normally pulled upward by a spring 5, and a lever 18 is attached so that it can slide up and down. 4, when the lever 18 is pushed down, the lever 7 and the spring 8 are attached so as to rotate clockwise around the fulcrum 9 and push the remaining card 10 back to the cartridge 1, and when the lever 18 is pushed down, The lever 16 having the hook 17 and the spring 15 are attached so that the hook 17 is disengaged from the protrusion 13 and receives a counterclockwise force centering on the fulcrum 14 at all times so that the hook 17 is applied to the protrusion 13. This will allow you to more reliably arrange your cards.

[0006]

[Action]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the lever 7 is normally pulled up counterclockwise by the spring 8 so that the remaining card 10 does not have to pass through the gate 11 and the lever 2 When is pushed down, the lever 7 rotates clockwise around the fulcrum 9 and pushes the remaining cards 10 pushed out to near the gate 11 while adjusting them.

In this way, when removing the cartridge 1, the remaining card 10 in the cartridge 1 can be arranged by a simple method of pushing down the lever 2 and when removing the cartridge 1, the remaining card 10 is removed. Will not be damaged.

Further, when the lever 18 is not pushed down, the hook 17 provided on the lever 16 is hooked on the protrusion 13 and therefore the cartridge 12 cannot be removed. When the lever 18 is pushed down, the end 19 of the lever 18 hits the lever 16, the lever 16 rotates clockwise, and the hook 17 disengages from the protrusion 13. At this time, the lever 7 rotates clockwise around the fulcrum 9 and pushes the remaining cards 10 that have been pushed out near the gate 11 while aligning them.

When the lever 18 is not pushed down, the cartridge 12 cannot be removed, and when the lever 18 is pushed down and the cartridge 12 is tried to be removed, the remaining card 10 pushed out to the vicinity of the gate 11 is always the lever 7 This will ensure that the remaining card 10 will not be damaged when the cartridge 12 is removed and the cartridge 12 is pushed back while being prepared.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention.

A cartridge 1 that can be separated from the apparatus body 4 is provided with a lever 2 that can slide up and down, and a handle 3 attached to the cartridge 1 is always pulled upward by a spring 5 fixed to one side. . A lever 7 is provided so as to be rotatable around a fulcrum 9 provided on the apparatus body 4, and one of the levers 7 is pulled counterclockwise by a spring 8 fixed to the apparatus body 4. At this time, the lever 7 is in the state shown in FIG. 2, and it does not interfere with the pushing of the card 10.

When the lever 2 is pushed down, the lever 7 is pushed by the tip 6 of the lever 2 and rotates clockwise as shown in FIG. 3, and the remaining card 10 protruding near the gate 11 is trimmed, and Push into.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.

Similar to the first embodiment, the device body 4 is provided with a lever 7, a spring 8 and a fulcrum 9. Further, the device body 4 is provided with a fulcrum 14 and a lever 16 having a hook 17 and a stopper 20 so as to be rotatable around the fulcrum 14, and one of them is fixed to the device body 4 so as to receive a force in the counterclockwise direction. Attach the spring 15 that has been set. Further, the cartridge 12 which is separable from the mounting body 4 is provided with a protrusion 13 so as to be hooked on the hook 17. The stopper 20 hits the main body 4 of the apparatus, and the hook 17 of the lever 16 is engaged with the protrusion 13, but the stopper 16 is adjusted so as not to rotate counterclockwise. Further, a lever 18 is provided on the cartridge 12 so as to be slidable up and down, and a handle 5 attached to the cartridge 12 is always pulled upward by a spring 5 fixed at one side. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the protrusion 13, the lever 18, and the spring 5 are attached to the cartridge 12, respectively.

The relationship between the tip 6 of the lever 18 and the lever 7 is the same as in the first embodiment. When the lever 18 is not pushed down, the hook 17 is hooked on the projection 13, and when the lever 18 is pushed down, the lever 16 rotates by receiving a clockwise force by the end 19 of the lever 18, and the hook 17 projects. Remove from 13. The hook 17 is set to be disengaged from the protrusion 13 when the lever 7 pushes the remaining card 10 back.

At this time, even if trying to remove the cartridge 12 without pushing down the lever 18, the cartridge 12 cannot be removed because the hook 17 is hooked on the protrusion 13. Also, when the lever 18 is pushed down and the cartridge 12 is removed, the remaining card 10 is inevitably arranged and pushed back into the cartridge 12, which is convenient without any particular care.

When mounting the cartridge 12 that has been once removed, by mounting the cartridge 12 with the lever 18 pressed down, the lever 16 contacts the end 19 of the lever 18 and the hook 17 rotates in the clockwise direction so that the projection 13 Does not hit When the lever 18 is returned to its original position after the cartridge 12 is attached, the hook 17 engages with the protrusion 13.

When attaching the once removed cartridge 12, when trying to attach the cartridge 12 without pushing down the lever 18, the hook 17 side of the lever 16 that hits the protrusion 13 is cut off diagonally. The lever 16 hits the protrusion 13 and rotates clockwise, and when the cartridge 12 is completely attached, the protrusion 13 is disengaged from the obliquely cut portion, the lever 16 is rotated counterclockwise by the spring 15, and the hook 17 is protruded. Take By doing so, when the removed cartridge 12 is attached, the cartridge 12 can be attached without pushing down the lever 18 to facilitate the operation.

When the lever 2 and the lever 18 are attached near the handle 3, when the cartridge 1 and the cartridge 12 are removed, the handle 3 can be grasped by hand, and the lever 2 and the lever 18 can be pushed with the thumb to facilitate the operation. Become.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when the cartridge 1 and the cartridge 12 are removed, the lever 2 and the lever 18 are simply pushed down. Even if the remaining card 10 is still in the gate, the remaining card 10 10 can be arranged and pushed back into the cartridge, and the remaining card 10 can be easily taken out without damaging the remaining card 10 together with the cartridge 1 and the cartridge 12.
