Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a guide for a ticket-issuing paper set that accommodates a long card-shaped ticket paper that constitutes a ticket-issuing device.

2. Description of the Related Art For example, an airline ticket issuing device issues two types of tickets, long and short, and a plurality of long card-shaped ticket sheets are collectively housed and loaded in a ticket issuing sheet set guide. The ticket paper is fed out one by one, and is issued as an airline ticket through a predetermined process such as printing and magnetic recording. In the ticket issuing paper set guide, card-like ticket paper needs to be accommodated in a fixed posture in order to maintain the printing quality of the issued ticket. As shown in FIG. 4, as a mechanism for positioning the ticket paper,
A stopper (5), which is a plate-like member extending in the direction orthogonal to the plane of the paper, is pivotally supported at one end, and is constantly biased via a spring (4) so that a locking piece (3) at the other end projects upward. Some have a guide mechanism (10). In this mechanism (10),
A large number of ordinary ticket-issuing sheets (F ₁ ) are collected by opening a rear rotatable rear lid (6) in a guide groove (2) formed on the upper surface side of the guide mechanism (10). When it is inserted in a substantially horizontal direction, the locking piece (3) protruding at the rear end portion of the ticket-issuing paper (F ₁ ) prevents the rearward movement and is positioned.

Further, in the guide mechanism (10), the ticket issuing paper (F ₁ )
The longer ticket issuing paper (F ₂ ) has the rear end side protruding rearward from the locking surface (3a) of the locking piece (3) at the time of loading, but due to the weight of the paper (F ₂ ), the locking piece (3). ) Is pushed down and accommodated in the guide groove (2), and its rearward movement is blocked by the closed rear lid (6) so that its position is determined.
