【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、自動券売機などで連続用紙を利用の都度、必要な量だけ切断して取り出すようにした用紙排出機構が知られている。
【0003】
図3は、用紙排出機構を内蔵した自動券売機の主要部機構の説明図で、外装ケース31の正面側には、用紙を排出する取り出し口32があり、内部には連続したロール紙33が内蔵されている。この連続ロール紙には、販売される種類に対応した券のデザインで印刷された用紙が収納されている。連続ロール紙33は、プリンター34のヘッド34aとプラテンローラ34bとによって、購入日付や購入席種別等が印刷され、送りローラ35によって取り出し口32へ送り出される。この場合に各購入券は、一枚毎の間隔でプリンター34と送りローラ35との間に設置したオートカッター36によって、自動的に切り離され取り出し口に送り出される。
このような用紙排出機構において、通常は用紙利用時の操作に応動して、収納した連続用紙33を所定の様式で印刷して排出するが、用紙取り出し口から強制的に用紙を引き出そうとすると、オートカッター36が作動する前に用紙が引き出されるために、用紙の送り出し機構35などに異状が生じて機械の故障原因となったり、連続用紙33が必要以上に引き出されたりするという不具合があった。
【0004】

【0009】
さらに、請求項5の発明にかかる用紙排出機構は、前記表示手段による異状信号の表示は、音を介して行われることを特徴とする。
【0010】
さらに、請求項6の発明にかかる用紙排出機構は、前記検出手段の出力信号により撮像装置11cが作動して、発券機の周辺を撮影して、周囲の状況を録画するように作動するように構成したものである。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施の形態について、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
図1において、金券、各種チケット及び指定席券などの、発券機としての自動販売機の外装ケース1には、正面側に金券などの用紙取り出し口2と、紙幣投入口7a、硬貨投入口7bと、返却口8とが設けられ、さらに、購入券等の種別表示窓9及びこれらに対応する選択ボタン10が設けられている。
また、自動販売機の異状を表示する警告ランプ11a及びスピーカー11bが、警報表示手段11として設けられている。さらに、モニター用の撮像装置11cが備えられている。スピーカー11bは、警報音響または警報音声を発することによって、異状を表示するために設けられている。撮像装置11cは警報表示手段11として機能し、自動販売機の周辺を撮影して、周囲の状況を録画するように作動する。
【0012】
図2は、金券などの自動販売機の内部機構を説明する構成図で、連続ロール紙3が取り出し自在な状態で、用紙収納部Hの取り付け軸3aに取り付けられた状態を示している。連続ロール紙3から用紙取り出し口2の方向に向けて、プリンター4、切断手段6、用紙ガイド部12、用紙排出部5が順次配置されている。連続ロール紙3には、予め用途に応じた種類ごとの形式でベース印刷がなされており、選択ボタン10によって選択された指定席番号などが、販売日等と共に追加的にプリンター4によって印刷される。プリンター4は、サーマルヘッド4a、プラテンローラ4bから構成されるが、ドットプリンター、インクジェットプリンター、レーザープリンターなどでも良い。
切断手段6は、連続ロール紙3を一枚ごとに切断して販売するために、作動完了信号に応じて適宜用紙を切断するものである。
用紙排出部5は、上下二つの回転ローラからなり、回転によってその間に挟まれる用紙3を、用紙収納部Hから取り出し口2の方向へ送り出す。
【0013】
一方、用紙ガイド部12は、凹面を有する受け部材12aと、凸面を有する押部材12bとからなり、その間に挟まれる連続ロール紙3を、下側に偏倚させるようにばね12cが付勢されている。連続ロール紙3が取り出し口から強引に引き出されたとき、用紙3の張力によって用紙ガイド部12の押部材12bが押戻されて、用紙3の偏倚が解かれ用紙が一直線状になるように、このばね12cが圧縮される。このようにばね12cは、連続ロール紙3を偏倚させた位置に保持するための保持手段として機能する。
用紙ガイド部12が押戻されることによって、押部材12bの背面に設けられた検出手段としての電気接点13が閉成され、この信号を受けて図示しない公知の方法で、異状警報信号が出力される。そして、警告ランプ11a及びスピーカー11bが作動して、警報を発することができる。さらに、撮像装置11cが警報表示手段11として作動し、自動販売機の周辺を撮影して、周囲の状況を録画するように作動するから、不正に自動販売機が操作された時の状況がわかる。
【0014】
上記実施例における連続ロール紙3を、折りたたみ連続紙に置換しても同様に実施でき同一効果を生じさせ得る。また、電気接点13を磁気検出器、静電容量式検出器あるいは光学式検出器などの検出手段に置換することもできる。
さらに、ばね12cは、用紙ガイド部12を偏倚させるだけであるから、磁気力等による保持手段に置換することもできる。また、用紙排出部5のローラを、一方向クラッチとして構成し、用紙3が強制的に引っ張られた時、このクラッチがスリップして異状を検出するようにすれば、用紙ガイド部12を廃止し、この一方向クラッチのスリップ機構を検出手段にすることができる。
さらに、切断手段6を用紙排出部5の近傍に配置しても良く、排出される用紙のサイズにあわせて選択することができる。
なお、本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の技術的思想の範囲内で、適宜変更して実施することができるものである。
【0015】

【0017】
さらに、請求項3の発明にかかる用紙排出機構によれば、券購入の操作に応動して、収納した連続用紙を所定の様式で券売する発券機の用紙排出機構において、連続用紙収納部と、連続用紙収納部から券売口へ用紙を送出する用紙排出部と、用紙を所定の長さで切断する切断手段と、連続用紙収納部と用紙排出部との間で用紙を偏倚させるガイド部と、ガイド部を移動自在に保持する保持手段と、保持手段の移動により作動して信号を出力する検出手段と、検出手段の出力信号により異状信号を表示する表示手段とからなり、券売口から用紙を強制的に引き出したとき、ガイド部の移動により生じる検出手段の出力信号に基づき、表示手段に異状信号を表示するように構成したので、このような発券機の異状操作がなされていることを瞬時に検出して警報を発し、不正な行為や高額金の被害を未然に防止することができるようになる。
【0018】
さらに、請求項4の発明にかかる用紙排出機構によれば、券購入の操作に応動して、収納した連続用紙を所定の様式で券売する発券機の用紙排出機構において、連続用紙収納部と、連続用紙収納部から券売口へ用紙を送出する用紙排出部と、連続用紙を所定の長さで切断する切断手段と、連続用紙収納部と用紙排出部との間で連続用紙を偏倚させるガイド部と、ガイド部を移動自在に保持する保持手段と、保持手段の移動により作動して信号を出力する検出手段と、検出手段の出力信号により強制的に連続用紙の切断信号を出力する信号手段とからなり、券売口から連続用紙を強制的に引き出したとき、ガイド部の移動により生じる検出手段の出力信号に基づき、信号手段が作動して強制的に連続用紙を切断するように構成したので、このような発券機の異状操作がなされていることを瞬時に検出して、内部機構に支障が生じないように対処すると共に、不正な行為や高額金の被害を未然に防止することができるようになる。
【0019】
さらに、請求項5の発明にかかる用紙排出機構によれば、前記表示手段による異状信号の表示は、音を介して行われるから、異状操作がなされていることを音響や音声で表示し警報を発することができる。
【0020】
さらに、請求項6の発明にかかる用紙排出機構によれば、前記検出手段の出力信号により撮像装置11cが作動し、発券機の周辺を撮影して周囲の状況を録画するように作動するように構成したから、不正行為が行われた当時の状況のみが、常時録画するものに比べて効率的に画像によって確認できる。
