Abstract

PURPOSE:To feed a printing paper continuously by adjusting the position of a pin of a pin belt to an indicating line on an upper surface of a retainer plate, inserting an end of a continuous printing paper to butt against a protrusion in a paper feed port and driving the pin belt forward to fit the pin to a feed hole of said continuous printing paper. CONSTITUTION:A continuous printing paper is supplied in an outer peripheral direction of a pin belt 1. A plurality of pins 2 are provided all over the length of the belt 1 with the same pitch as that of feed holes continuously formed at both ends of the continuous printing paper. The pin belt 1 is driven by a driving device 3. An elastic protrusion 8 is formed between the adjacent pins 2. Moreover, a guide 4 is provided at each side of the pin belt 1 to support the pin belt 1 at a predetermined position and to receive the supplied continuous printing paper 10. A head portion of the pin 2 of the pin belt 1 enters the center of a grooved portion 5 above the pin belt 1, and a retainer plate 6 also provided above the pin belt 1 holds and prevents the paper 10 from levitating. An indicating line 7 is marked at a predetermined position on an upper surface of the retainer plate 6 where the head portion of any pin 2 first enters the grooved portion 5.

が変化されている。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the continuous printing paper feeding device of the invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view showing the state when continuous printing paper is set. The pin belt 1 is made of an elastic material, and a plurality of pins 2 are formed over the entire length with a pitch equal to or an integral multiple of the pitch of the feed holes that the continuous printing paper that is fed in the outer circumferential direction has continuously at both ends. It is driven by a drive device 3 which is attached to the printer and is linked to the print feed of the printing device. In addition, elastic protrusions 8 are provided between the plurality of pins of the pin belt 1, and on both sides of the pin belt 1, a frame is provided to hold the pin belt 1 in a predetermined position, and a continuous There is a guide 4 which plays the role of receiving the printing paper 10, and the -L side of the pin belt 1 has a groove 5 in the center in which the head of the pin 2 of the pin belt 1 can enter and move, and the continuous printing paper 10 A presser plate 6 is provided which can be freely opened and closed to suppress the rising of the plate. In addition, an indication line 7 is engraved on the upper surface of the presser plate 6 at a predetermined position where the head of any pin 2 of the pin belt 1 first enters the groove 5, and the position of the indication line 7 is engraved on the pin belt 1. When the position of the arbitrary pin 2 of 1 is reached, the paper feed tractor 7, which had previously held the printing paper 6 in a waiting state for feeding, moves the printing paper 6 to the contact point of the feed roller 3.4. It is held so that it can be sent to the department. That is, the direction of the paper feed destination is changed by the operation of a power-driven drive gear 10 that is simultaneously engaged with the paper feed tractor 2 and the paper feed tractor gear 8 and the paper feed tractor 7 and the paper feed tractor gear 9, respectively.

態で保持している。Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Now, the printing paper I is moved to the paper feed tractor gear 8 by the movement of the drive gear IO.
The paper feed destination of the power-driven paper feed tractor 2 is directed to the contact portion of the feed roller 3.4, and is supplied to the printing device 5 via the feed roller to perform printing. Once finished, use another printing paper 6
Suppose you need to start printing at . First, feed the printing paper 1 by 4" before it enters the contact area of the feed roller 3.4.
' Cut the paper, feed it onto paper feeders 1 to 2, and hold it in a standby state. Next, the power-driven drive gear 10 is actuated to simultaneously move the paper feed tractor gear 8 and the paper feed tractor gear 9, which are meshed with the drive gear 10, to change the direction of the paper feed destination of the paper feed tractor 2.7. Direct the paper feed destination No. 7 to the contact portion of the feed roller 3.4. Next, the leading edge of the printing paper 6 that was waiting to be fed on the paper feed tractor 7 is supplied to the printing device 5 via the contact portion of the feed roller 3.4. The power-driven paper feed tractor 7, which is linked to the printer, is operated to continue supplying printing paper. While the paper feed tractor 7 is in operation, the paper feed tractor 2 is in a power-driven rest state and feeds the printing paper l and is held in a standby state.
