In this case, the locking shaft 12a has a structure in which a locking groove is formed in the circumferential surface of the cylindrical body so as to surround it, and the locking shaft 12a is designed to lock the upright piece 13a of the upper guide portion 2, which is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. The locking shaft 12b is formed of a cylindrical body and is not shown in an enlarged view in FIG. Place it in the retaining groove 14b.

触設定され、サーマルヘッドの静止位置が規定される。The movable member 9 is supported by the upright piece 13 by the elastic pieces 10a and 10b.
8.13b, the thermal head 8 faces into the card passage 6 from the hole 2a of the upper guide part 2, and its heat generating point 8a is set in contact with the roller 15 which is a positioning member, and the thermal head 8 is placed in contact with the roller 15 which is a positioning member. A rest position is defined.

、半田率けされたヘッドの端子８ｂに通電される。The roller 15 is made of heat-resistant resin and is rotatably supported by the upright pieces 18a and 18b of the lower guide plate 2 by means of a shaft 16 and an E-ring 17, and its outer peripheral portion faces the card passage 6. Note that instead of the roller 15, the lower guide plate 2 may be embossed to provide a convex portion within the car 1: passage. Electricity is supplied to the thermal head via the flexible printed circuit board 19 to the soldered terminals 8b of the head.

れることがなく確実に熱伝達が行なわれる。The card 7 is driven in the direction of the arrow 20 shown in FIG.
When the thermal head is inserted between the rollers 15 and 15, the heat generating point 8a of the thermal head is pushed up by the card 7 in the direction away from the roller 15, that is, in the direction of the white arrow 21, and the elastic urging force of the elastic pieces 10a and 10b is pushed in the direction of the roller 15. The heating point 8a of the thermal head is pressed against the card 7 with an appropriate set pressure. In this state, when the terminal 8b of the thermal head is energized via the flexible printed circuit board 19, the heating point 8a performs thermal printing on the card 7. Even if a curved card is inserted, the movable member 9 can rotate in the direction intersecting the card driving direction, so the heat generating point 8a of the thermal head will not be separated from the card 7 by following the card, ensuring heat transfer. It is done.
以上のように本発明によると、サーマルヘッドをサーマ
ル印刷時ごとに券用紙に対して昇降させる必要もなく小
