Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the formation of a homogenous medium with high accuracy by revolving two gears having triangular tooth forms while being engaged one another, and inserting a piece of paper between the gears to be folded. CONSTITUTION:Two gears G1, G2 having triangular tooth forms are engaged one another, a gear G1 is driven by a motor M, while a gear G2 is coupled driven being pulled by a spring SP. The edge of a sheet of paper 4a is inserted between the gears G1 and G2. The sheet of paper 4a is supplied on a loading table T between the gears G1, G2 through a belt B driven by the motor M, a drive roller R1, a pinch roller R2, and then is folded. Thereby, a homogenous bellows of high accuracy is formed on the sheet of paper 4a and ejected. This device is suitable for the inspection of a printing device of such as a passbook printing device.

) has become widespread. The results of transactions at the ATM are printed on the passbook by a passbook printer, and the passbook printer can print the passbook pages without jamming, even if the passbook pages are warped, folded, or otherwise deformed during storage by the customer. Printing is required. BACKGROUND ART Media bent into jagged shapes (hereinafter referred to as bellows media) are widely used for margin tests on deformed media in bankbook printers and for finding areas where jams are likely to occur. Therefore, there is a need for a bellows media producing apparatus that can easily produce bellows media of various sizes and of uniform quality.
