Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a signature device for punching a document in order to confirm it when issuing various certificates such as a resident's card.

[0002]

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when obtaining certificates such as a resident's card and a seal stamp certificate, the applicant himself / herself goes to the government office, completes the address, name, etc. in the application form and submit it to the counter.
Based on the application form, the person in charge of the office of the government office will fill in the necessary items in the terminal device and create the corresponding document, stamp the document with the official seal, and hand it to the applicant in exchange for the fee. It was based. In addition, recently, an automatic certificate issuing device that automatically issues a resident's card etc. has been installed at the government office, and it exerts its power when the counter is crowded or when the office is closed and holidays. ing.

In the automatic certificate issuing device, the applicant obtains necessary documents by causing the device to read a personal identification card (ID card). At this time, as a method of confirming the document to be issued, instead of imprinting the official seal, an electronic official seal based on image data is printed on the document together with various information. If the number of issued documents is one, the electronic official seal will be printed on the documents, but if there are multiple documents, the electronic official seal will be printed only on the first document, and the remaining documents will be punched with a certain shape. A signature (designated code No. of each local government, etc.) is given. At the time of this signature, punch residue is generated due to perforation of the document, and this waste residue is stored in a receiving box provided at the bottom of the signature device, and the staff regularly discards it.

[0004]

However, if a staff member forgets to regularly discard the waste stored in the receiving box, the waste will overflow from the receiving box and spill.
Even if debris overflows the receiving box, it can be easily cleaned with the signing device installed on the desk, but if it is built into the automatic certificate issuing device, it will take time to clean due to the structure of the device. However, during that time, the device cannot be used. The present invention solves the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a signing device that enables efficient use by issuing a warning that prompts the disposal of scraps before they overflow.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a perforating means for perforating a document, a storing means for storing the scraps generated by the perforation by the perforating means, and a storing means for the storing means. And a warning means for giving a warning to discard the waste sludge when the judgment sludge has reached the predetermined amount. It is a thing.

[0006]

According to the above construction, the punching means punches the document, and the storing means stores the scraps generated by the punching. The judging means judges whether or not the amount of scraps stored in the storing means has reached a predetermined amount, and if it judges that the amount has reached the predetermined amount, the warning means gives a warning prompting the discarding of the scraps. As a result, it is possible to prevent the debris from overflowing the storage means.
