Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention can supply fan-hold paper without interruption and continuously issue cards without interruption for reasons such as paper replenishment. The present invention relates to a paper feeding device for a card issuing machine.

[Conventional technology]

According to the application of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-64902, when the card paper (fan hold paper) supplied from one of the bifurcated card supply passages is stopped,
We proposed a card issuing machine that rotates the drive roller and sends another card sheet inserted into the other supply path to the card issuing path side to continue issuing cards without interruption.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

According to the above card issuing machine, there is no need to tape-connect the beginning of a new card sheet to the end of the card sheet currently in use to replenish the sheet, making it easy to switch sheets and issue cards. In addition to being able to perform without interruption, since there is no connecting portion with tape, it is possible to exhibit the advantage that cutting with a cutter can be performed with a constant torque.

However, in card issuing machines that use fan-hold paper (see Fig. 2) in which the border lines of the cards corresponding to the cut lines are connected with thin connecting pieces as card paper, handling of these fan-hold paper is extremely difficult. It was troublesome. That is, the currently used fan hold paper is folded in multiple layers inside a packaging pack made of cardboard, vinyl, etc. Inside the card supply path by pulling out the internal fan hold paper by cutting the pack along it and storing it in each stocker provided inside the card issuing machine and pulling out the tip side of the stored fan hold paper. It was set in the card issuing machine by plugging in.

Therefore, when setting fan hold paper, it is necessary to open the pack each time, transfer from the pack to the stocker inside the narrow card issuing machine, and pull out from the stocker to set it, which is very complicated. At the same time, piles of folded fan-hold paper will collapse when transferred to the stocker, or if the fan-hold paper is not set correctly, the print will be reversed and the card will be issued. Since there is a problem that it will be done, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to the handling, and there is a problem that fan hold paper cannot be set easily.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to set the fan hold paper for the card issuing machine, open the lid of the packaging box,
It can be performed very easily without transferring to a stocker, and it is easy and accurate to pull out the fan hold paper and check the front and back sides, and issuing a card is troublesome to set the fan hold paper. It is to proceed smoothly.

[Means for solving problems]

Means taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

A card supply passage leading to a card issuing passage with a cutter and a printer on the way is configured in a bifurcated manner, and when the supply of fan hold paper sent from one of the card supply passages from the stocker provided inside the machine is stopped, In a card issuing machine configured to continue issuing cards by automatically switching and supplying another fan hold paper from the other stocker provided inside the body to the other card supply passage, (1) A pair of left and right stockers with open tops are fixed inside the machine of the card issuing machine, and inside these stockers, one or two sheets of the above fan-hold paper on the tip side are provided on the top. An internal box that is folded in multiple layers in the state that it is pulled out from the pull-out port and can be inserted freely.

(2) The fan hold paper housed in each inner box is configured to be freely drawn out from the above-mentioned outlets toward the above-mentioned card supply passages.

However, in this case, the fan hold paper means a card paper in which each boundary line of the card to be cut upon issuing the card is connected by a thin connecting piece so that the card can be easily cut. This fan hold paper, which is composed by connecting many cards with a thin connecting piece to form a long tape (belt), is folded in multiple layers at the connecting piece and stored in the inner box. Has been done.
