望されることがある。For example, a printing machine built into a cash register that prints on receipt paper usually prints the price of each item sold and their total amount on the receipt paper to issue a single receipt. However, there are cases where it is requested to divide sales items into several blocks and calculate separately for each block.

By the way, conventional paper sheet cutting devices used for such purposes require a large-capacity solenoid to drive a movable blade, and can also selectively perform complete cutting and incomplete cutting, leaving a portion uncut. It required a clutch mechanism to do this, resulting in a complicated configuration.

It is only necessary to perform stamp printing on the sheet, and after all, stamp printing only needs to be performed when completely cutting.

しかし、完全切断のときのみスタンプ印刷が行なわれ、
不完全切断のときは行なわれないようにすると一層複雑

。The present invention was made based on these circumstances,
The purpose of this is to use a printing machine that can cut paper sheets without using large-capacity solenoids, and that can selectively perform complete and incomplete cutting with a simple configuration. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cutting device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet cutting device for a printing machine having a simple configuration in which stamp printing is not performed when paper sheets are incompletely cut, but stamp printing is performed only when completely cutting them.

切換部材７を仮想線７〃の位置まで回動させる。The interlocking member 19 also rotates together with the switching member 7, and the drive pin 23 drives the movable blade 25 in the direction of the fixed blade 28.
As a result, the movable blade 25 rotates greatly to the position shown by the imaginary line 251 in FIG. 5, and completely cuts the paper sheet 29 placed on the fixed blade 28 as shown at 29a in FIG. 6. . At this time, as the interlocking member 19 rotates, the stamp base 30 moves in the direction of the stamp holder 33, and presses the stamp body 32 against the paper sheet 29VC placed on the stamp holder 33, printing a predetermined stamp. will be done. In this case, the pressing force of the stub body 32 is applied by the springs 31, 31. next,
As shown in FIG. 3, when the solenoid 14 is energized when the pressing piece 6 has moved by an amount b from the initial position indicated by the imaginary line 6', the switching member 7 moves by an amount B in the direction of the driving force transmitting member 2. The side surface of the second engaging portion 9 is brought into contact with the pressing piece 6, and thereafter the switching member 7 is rotated to the position of the imaginary line 7 while the pressing piece 6 reaches the position 6〃.

プ印刷を行なうことができる。The interlocking member 19 also rotates together with the switching member 7, and the drive pin 23 drives the movable blade 25 in the direction of the fixed blade 28, but in this case, the amount of rotation of the switching member 7 and the interlocking member 19 is relatively small. Therefore, the movable blade 25 can only rotate to the position shown by the imaginary line 25 in FIG.
As in, one end will be left unturned. At this time, the stamp base 30 moves toward the stamp holder 33 as the interlocking member 19 rotates, but since the amount of rotation of the interlocking member 19 is small, the stamp body 32 moves toward the stamp holder 33.
It does not reach the point where it comes into contact with 9. Therefore, according to this cutting device, by energizing the solenoid 14 at an appropriate timing in relation to the position of the driving force transmission member 2, the first engaging portion 8 or the second engaging portion 8 of the switching member 7 is connected. The engaging portion 9 can be selectively engaged with the pressing piece 6 of the driving force transmission member 2, and as a result, the paper sheet 29 can be completely or incompletely cut, and only when completely cut. Stamp printing can be performed.

のソレノイドは不要である。Furthermore, since the position of the driving force transmission member 2 changes depending on the rotation angle of the rotary cam 1, if the timing of energizing the solenoid 14 is appropriately selected in relation to the rotation angle of the rotary cam 1, The paper sheet 29 can be completely or incompletely cut as desired. As described above based on the embodiments, according to the paper sheet cutting device of the present invention, the movable blade 25 is constantly driven by the drive mechanism that drives the printing section, and performs a constant movement periodically. Driving force transmission member 2
Therefore, a large-capacity solenoid for driving the movable blade 5 is not required.

るものである。Further, since switching between complete cutting and incomplete cutting is performed by selecting the timing of moving the switching member 7, a complicated switching mechanism is not required. Even when the solenoid 14 is used as the switching control means as in the embodiment described above, it is sufficient that the solenoid 14 is extremely small enough to move the switching member 7. Furthermore, the switching member 7
Since the amount of movement of the stamp body 32 is changed according to the amount of movement of the stamp body 32, the selection of whether or not to print the stamp is automatically made, and complete cutting is possible without adding any special configuration. Stamp printing is performed only occasionally.

な卦、本発明は前記実施例の構成に限定されることなく

One may be used for complete cutting, and the other plurality of engaging portions may be used for incomplete cutting with different amounts of uncut portions.
