Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ticket dispensing apparatus, each of which is constituted by a detached section of a continuous strip of paper.
  • the apparatus of the invention is associated with a printing machine of these tickets which forms the receipt or the written record of a transaction such as a payment by means of a credit card. And more specifically, a particular application of this device lies in its association with a thermal printer.
  • the dispensing devices comprise, upstream of the cutting blade, means for guiding or supporting the extreme edge of the strip so that, when this strip is propelled (by a drive mechanism belonging in many applications to a printer) this front edge can pass over the blade.
  • this guide or support is formed by a movable wall between a high position in which the extreme edge of the band can pass the high point of the cutting wire and a low position which is at the low point of the cutting line. This displacement is obtained under the effect of the tensile force applied to the band by the recipient of the ticket, causing cutting and against a return spring that tends to bring the wall up.
  • This movable wall can affect the shape of an articulated flap.
  • a minimum consumption of paper is sought.
  • the paper consumption is more or less important depending on whether the unprinted part of the ticket is larger or smaller, as for example in the application WO0137223A.
  • This unprinted portion depends exclusively on the distance, along the path of the paper, which separates the printer (the line of heating dots in a thermal printer) from the cutting blade.
  • One of the problems to be solved is to minimize this distance while keeping the cutting quality irreproachable.
  • the present invention relates to a ticket dispensing apparatus from a continuous paper web, each formed by an end section of this band that can be entered by a recipient of the ticket and detached by traction on this end, comprising a pinching mechanism of the paper along a transverse line of the strip, a cutting blade substantially transverse to the strip on the cutting edge of which, during the said pulling, the strip bears, the cutting edge of the blade being formed by a segment of a line intersecting the plane of the paper web in contact with the blade before cutting containing the nip, the apparatus also comprising a support member and guiding the strip between the pinching mechanism and the cutting blade, having a surface limited by an edge adjacent the blade and an adjacent edge of the pinching mechanism, movable between a first position dan wherein the edge of the adjacent surface of the blade is located entirely above the cutting edge of the blade and a second position in which this edge is located entirely below the cutting edge, with a return member of the guide element.
  • the support and guide element is in the form of a flap hinged about a fixed axis, substantially parallel to the pinch line, located on the edge side of the element adjacent to this line and extending in the vicinity of the plane containing the pinch line and the midpoint of the cutting edge of the blade while the support surface is shaped such that, after about half of the cutting, the contact area the shutter with the band remaining to be cut away from the blade as the progress of cutting.
  • Such a flap has several advantages, particularly in the case where the cutting blade is relatively close to the nip line of the strip. Indeed, in this case, the position of the pivot axis of the shutter as specified above, optimizes the size of the flap and balance its movement between the high point and the low point of the blade. In addition, the blade being close to the pinch line, there is a secondary problem which is the significant variation along the cutting line of the angle made by the strip when the blade passes under the effect of traction. the recipient of the ticket. This angle is relatively closed at the high point of the cut and opens quickly to be very obtuse low point, which places the paper in very unfavorable conditions to be properly cut.
  • the paper no longer opposes much resistance to the tensile force since its uncut width has greatly diminished and becomes sensitive to the force exerted on him the hinged flap guide. Thanks to the evolution of the contact surface of the flap with the paper when the cut is approaching the low point of the blade, the flap of the invention has the advantage of not being a factor of opening of the angle above in the vicinity of this lower section point.
  • the cutting blade is flat and is inclined so that the edge of the flap next to the cutting blade is closest to this blade in its first position. This arrangement eliminates the risk of seeing the front edge of the paper blade enter unexpectedly between the flap and the blade at the beginning of the advance of the band that can lead to a jam.
  • the straight cutting edge of the blade is inclined to the plane passing through the pinch line and the shutter axis at an angle between 8 ° and 12 °.
  • This angle preferably around 11 °, is the experimentally determined compromise value, which makes it possible to obtain a cut of the ticket under the lowest possible traction and without the paper slipping without being cut in the direction of the low point. Indeed, such sliding could lead to a crumpling of the paper before cutting, which would compromise the correct issue of the next ticket.
  • a thermal printer comprises a roll 1 (called capstan) for driving the paper, motorized by means not shown, on which a print head 2 is supported by means of a line of heating points 3
  • the printing paper 4 is driven by the roll under the line of heating points 3, an elastic return device maintaining the pressure of the head 2 on the capstan 1.
  • the paper is supported and guided by the upper surface 5a of a spacer piece 5 forming part of the apparatus frame to reach and slide on the upper surface 7 of a hinged flap 6 to the machine frame immediately behind the support part 5.
  • the axis 8 of articulation of the flap 6 is located in the plane of the guide surface 5 a and is substantially parallel or at the line of heater points, with the axis of the capstan 1.
  • the flap 6 has an edge 9 which is close to a cutting blade 10 and another edge 11 substantially parallel to the edge 9 which is adjacent to the piece 5 of paper support.
  • the cutting blade 10 is parallel to the line of heating points and the hinge pin 8 of the flap to the frame of the device. It has a cutting edge (or cutting line) 10 a which intersects the plane of the surface 5 is therefore of the plane which contains the paper web out of the printer.
  • the cutting blade 10 is arranged so that its cutting edge 10 has a midpoint 10 d in the plane of the guide 5 which contains the axis 8.
  • one half of the cutting edge is above this plane and contains the point upper 10 c cut where the cutting edge occurs when a user of the device pulls on the end of the strip presented to him.
  • the other half of the cutting edge is below this plane and contains the bottom d -cut point, at which the cut ends at the edge of the strip opposite the edge where the cutting occurred.
  • This blade 10 is finally shown inclined towards the flap; in other words the plane through the axis 8 and line 3 of heating dots is not perpendicular to the cutting blade so that the top half of the cutting edge 10 of the blade has to be closest to the pane when it is in its state shown in Figure 1, that is to say before any cutting.
  • the upper surface 7 of the shutter has two portions 7 a , 7 b .
  • the portion 7 has is that which is in contact with the paper tape to the top of the blank until such time as they reach the vicinity of the point 10b in the middle of the blade edge 10.
  • This portion 7 has the surface 7 is substantially a flat surface which passes above the axis 8.
  • the paper tape 4 stretched by the user begins to bear on the part 7 b of the surface which is formed as a kind of chamfer on the flap allowing the paper that bears on it to pass gradually under the hinge pin 8.
  • FIG 2 we see that the contact of the flap with the paper strip 4 moves away from the cutting blade as the cutting progresses.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the deviation of the paper by the flap, the latter being elastically returned to its position shown in FIG. 1 by a return spring schematically represented at 12 in FIG. 3. Indeed, the shutter 6 pushes upwards. the paper with a force even greater than the spring 12 is bandaged. This force tends to lift the paper so open the angle A, which affects the quality of the cut especially in its second half. It will be understood from FIG. 2 that this angle A will be all the less open as the point of contact of the shutter and the paper moves away from the blade.
  • the zone 7b of the upper surface of the flap 6 is designed so as to allow this distance, and, moreover, to virtually erase the flap at the end of cutting to take advantage of the minimum value of the angle A imposed by the construction of the apparatus (relative position of the cutting edge of the blade and, for example, the outlet of the guide surface 5 a ).
