- the apparatus of the invention is associated with a machine for printing these tickets which forms the receipt or written record of a transaction such than payment by credit card. And more specifically, a particular application of this device resides in its association with a printer thermal.
- vending machines have upstream of the cutting blade a means of guiding or support of the extreme edge of the strip so that when this band 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 wall movable between a high position in which the extreme edge of the tape can pass the high point of the thread cut and a low position which is at the level of the low point of the cutting line. This displacement is obtained under the effect of the tensile force applied to the strip by the recipient of the ticket, causing the cutting and against a return spring which tends to bring the wall in high position.
- This moving wall can affect the shape of an articulated flap.
- the present invention relates to a ticket dispensing device at from a continuous strip of paper, each formed by an end section of this strip capable of being seized by a recipient of the ticket and detached by traction on this end, including a pinching mechanism paper along a cross line of the strip, a cutting blade substantially transverse to the strip on the cutting edge of which, when pulled above, the strip is supported, the cutting edge of the blade being formed by a segment of a secant line of the plane of the paper strip in contact with the front blade cutout containing the pinch line, the apparatus comprising also a support and guiding element for the band between the pinching mechanism and the blade section, having an area limited by a neighboring edge of the blade and an edge close to the pinching mechanism, movable between a first position in which the edge of the neighboring surface of the blade is located entirely above of the cutting edge of this blade and a second position in which this edge is located entirely below the sharp, with a return member for the guide element towards its first position, in which device the support and guide element
- Such a component has several advantages, in particularly in the case where the cutting blade is relatively close to the pinch line of the strip. Indeed, in this case, the position of the hinge pin of the component as specified above, optimizes the size of this component and to balance its travel between the high point and the low point of the blade. In Besides, the blade being close to the nip line, it a secondary problem is created which is the significant variation along the cutting line at the angle that the strip at the passage of the blade under the effect of traction of the ticket recipient. This angle is relatively closed at the top of the cut and opens quickly to be at the very obtuse low point, which places the paper in very unfavorable conditions to be properly chopped off.
- the paper no longer offers much resistance to the effort of traction since its uncut width has greatly decreased and becomes sensitive to the effort exerted on it by the articulated guide flap. Thanks to the evolution of the surface of contact of the shutter with the paper when the cutout approaches the bottom point of the blade, the flap of the invention has the advantage of not being a factor of the above-mentioned angle in the vicinity of this point lower cutting.
- the cutting blade is flat and inclined so that the edge of the flap next to the cutting blade is at most close to this blade in its first position. This provision eliminates the risk of seeing the edge before the paper blade introduce itself unexpectedly between the shutter and the blade at the start of the feed advance tape may lead to jamming.
- the straight cutting edge of the blade is inclined on the plane passing through the pinch line and the axis of the shutter at an angle between 8 ° and 12 °.
- This angle preferably around 11 °, is the compromise value experimentally determined, which provides a cut of the ticket under the weakest traction possible and without the paper slipping without being cut towards the lowest point. Indeed, such a shift could only lead to wrinkling of the paper before this cut, which would compromise the correct emission of the next ticket.
- a thermal printer comprises a roller 1 (called capstan) for driving the paper, motorized by means not shown, on which supports a print head 2 via of a line of heating points 3.
- the paper to print 4 is driven by the roller under the line of heating points 3, an elastic return device now press the head 2 on the capstan 1.
- the paper is supported and guided by the upper surface 5 a of a spacer piece 5 forming part of the frame of the apparatus to reach and slide on the upper surface 7 of a flap 6 hinged to the frame of the machine immediately behind the support part 5.
- the axis 8 of articulation of the flap 6 is located in the plane of the guide surface 5a and is substantially parallel, either to the line of heating points, or to the axis of the capstan 1.
- the shutter 6 has an end edge 9 which is close to a cutting blade 10 and another edge 11 substantially parallel to the edge 9 which is close to the piece 5 for supporting the paper.
- the cutting blade 10 is parallel to the line of heating points and to the axis 8 of articulation of the flap to the frame of the device. It has a sharp edge (or cutting wire) 10 a which is secant from the plane of the surface 5 a, therefore from the plane which contains the strip of paper leaving the printer.
- the cutting blade 10 is arranged so that its cutting edge 10 a has a midpoint 10 d in the plane of the guide 5 which contains the axis 8. Thus, half of the cutting edge is above this plane and contains the point upper 10 c of cutting at the place where the initiation of cutting occurs when a user of the device pulls on the end of the strip which is presented to him.
- the other half of the cutting edge is under this plane and contains the lower point 10 d of the cut, at the place where the cut ends at the edge of the strip opposite the edge where the initiation of the cut occurred.
- This blade 10 is finally shown inclined towards the flap; in other words the plane passing through the axis 8 and the line 3 of heating points is not perpendicular to the cutting blade so that the upper half of the cutting edge 10a of the blade is closest to the flap 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 it reaches 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 ribbon 4 stretched by the user begins to bear on part 7 b of the surface which is formed as a sort of chamfer on the flap allowing the paper which rests on it to pass progressively under the hinge axis 8.
- FIG. 2 it can be seen that the contact of the flap with the strip 4 of paper moves away from the cutting blade as the cutting progresses.
- the area 7b of the upper surface of the shutter 6 is designed so as to allow this distance, and, moreover, to practically erase the shutter at the end of cutting to take advantage of the minimum value of the angle A imposed by the construction of the device (relative position of the cutting edge of the blade and, for example, of the exit from the guide surface 5 a ).

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil distributeur de tickets, chacun d'eux étant constitué par un tronçon détaché d'une bande continue de papier.The present invention relates to a dispensing device tickets, each of them consisting of a section detached from a continuous strip of paper.
Plus précisément, l'appareil de l'invention est associé à une machine d'impression de ces tickets qui forme le reçu ou la trace écrite d'une transaction telle qu'un paiement par le moyen d'une carte de crédit. Et plus précisément encore, une application particulière de cet appareil réside dans son association à une imprimante thermique.More specifically, the apparatus of the invention is associated with a machine for printing these tickets which forms the receipt or written record of a transaction such than payment by credit card. And more specifically, a particular application of this device resides in its association with a printer thermal.
Il existe deux variantes principales dans les machines à délivrer les tickets : celles dans lesquelles le ticket se présente au destinataire détaché ou prédétaché de la bande de laquelle il est issu, et celles dans lesquelles le ticket se présente attaché à la bande et c'est par une traction de celui-ci qu'il se détache de la bande en passant sur le bord tranchant d'une lame de coupe. Les machines selon cette dernière variante présentent l'avantage d'un dispositif de coupe statique sans pièces en mouvement, donc d'entretien simplifié et fonctionnant sans nécessiter d'apport d'énergie pour déplacer la lame mobile de coupe. En revanche, leur inconvénient réside dans l'absence d'un bord découpé pour le ticket net et précis. Il s'agit souvent d'un bord dentelé ou en biais alors que le ruban a plutôt été déchiré que découpé sur une lame. En effet, si la lame possède un fil tranchant au lieu de dents, la difficulté naít de l'amorce de la coupe qui doit être franche et réalisée quelle que soit la force de traction sur le ticket par son destinataire.There are two main variants in the machines to issue tickets: those in which the ticket is presented to the recipient detached or pre-detached of the band from which it comes, and those in which the ticket comes attached to the band and it's by a pull of it it detaches from the band passing over the sharp edge of a cutting blade. The machines according to this last variant have the advantage a static cutting device without parts in movement, therefore simplified maintenance and functioning without the need for energy to move the blade mobile cutting. On the other hand, their disadvantage lies in the absence of a cut edge for the net ticket and specific. It is often a jagged or biased edge when the ribbon was more torn than cut on a blade. Indeed, if the blade has a sharp wire instead of teeth, the difficulty arises from the initiation of the cut which must be clean and carried out whatever the pulling force on the ticket by its recipient.
L'état de la technique dans ce domaine comprend des dispositifs dans lesquels une lame est en forme de V avec une pointe centrale sur laquelle s'amorce la découpe du papier quand le destinataire tire dessus. Cependant, une telle lame est de fabrication complexe et coûteuse.The state of the art in this field includes devices in which a blade is V-shaped with a central point on which the cutting begins paper when the recipient pulls on it. However, such a blade is complex and expensive to manufacture.
On a récemment proposé de remplacer la lame ayant un fil de coupe en V par une lame ayant un fil de coupe rectiligne, sécant de la bande de papier supposée horizontale et possédant ainsi un point haut et un point bas de sorte que, lorsque l'on tire sur la bande, le contact initial de cette dernière avec la lame s'opère au niveau du bord de la bande au point haut de la lame à l'endroit de laquelle l'effort de traction est concentré pour constituer une amorce franche de découpe.It has recently been proposed to replace the blade having a V-shaped cutting wire by a blade having a cutting wire straight, cutting from the supposedly horizontal strip of paper and thus having a high point and a low point so that when you pull on the tape the contact initial of the latter with the blade operates at level from the edge of the strip to the top point of the blade where from which the tensile force is concentrated to constitute a clear cutting edge.
En général les appareils distributeurs comportent en amont de la lame de coupe un moyen de guidage ou de soutien du bord extrême de la bande pour que, lorsque cette bande est propulsée (par un mécanisme d'entraínement appartenant dans de nombreuses applications à une imprimante) ce bord avant puisse passer au-dessus de la lame. Dans le cas du développement récent exposé ci-dessus, ce guide ou ce soutien est formé par une paroi mobile entre une position haute dans laquelle le bord extrême de la bande peut passer le point haut du fil de coupe et une position basse qui se situe au niveau du point bas du fil de coupe. Ce déplacement est obtenu sous l'effet de l'effort de traction appliqué à la bande par le destinataire du ticket, provoquant la découpe et à l'encontre d'un ressort de rappel qui tend à ramener la paroi en position haute. Cette paroi mobile peut affecter la forme d'un volet articulé.In general, vending machines have upstream of the cutting blade a means of guiding or support of the extreme edge of the strip so that when this band is propelled (by a drive mechanism belonging in many applications to a printer) this front edge can pass over the blade. In the case of the recent development outlined above, this guide or support is formed by a wall movable between a high position in which the extreme edge of the tape can pass the high point of the thread cut and a low position which is at the level of the low point of the cutting line. This displacement is obtained under the effect of the tensile force applied to the strip by the recipient of the ticket, causing the cutting and against a return spring which tends to bring the wall in high position. This moving wall can affect the shape of an articulated flap.
Dans l'application de l'invention relative à la délivrance du ticket imprimé, on recherche une consommation minimale de papier. Or, pour une impression donnée, la consommation de papier est plus ou moins importante selon que la partie non imprimée du ticket est plus ou moins grande. Cette partie non imprimée dépend exclusivement de la distance, le long du trajet du papier, qui sépare l'imprimante (la ligne de points chauffants dans une imprimante thermique) de la lame de coupe. L'un des problèmes à résoudre est de réduire au maximum cette distance tout en conservant à la découpe une qualité irréprochable.In the application of the invention relating to the issue of the printed ticket, we are looking for consumption paper minimum. Now, for a given impression, paper consumption is more or less important depending on whether the unprinted part of the ticket is more or smaller. This unprinted part depends exclusively of the distance along the path of the paper between the printer (the line of heating points in a thermal printer) of the cutting blade. One of the problems to solve is to minimize this distance while maintaining an irreproachable quality at cutting.
Pour résoudre ces problèmes, la présente invention a pour objet un appareil distributeur de ticket à partir d'une bande de papier continue, chacun formé par un tronçon d'extrémité de cette bande susceptible d'être saisi par un destinataire du ticket et détaché par traction sur cette extrémité, comprenant un mécanisme de pincement du papier le long d'une ligne transversale de la bande, une lame de coupe sensiblement transversale à la bande sur le bord coupant de laquelle, lors de la traction susdite, la bande prend appui, le bord coupant de la lame étant formé par un segment d'une droite sécante du plan de la bande de papier au contact de la lame avant découpe contenant la ligne de pincement, l'appareil comprenant aussi un élément de support et de guidage de la bande entre le mécanisme de pincement et la lame de coupe, présentant une surface limitée par un bord voisin de la lame et un bord voisin du mécanisme de pincement, mobile entre une première position dans laquelle le bord de la surface voisin de la lame est situé entièrement au-dessus du tranchant de cette lame et une seconde position dans laquelle ce bord est situé entièrement en-dessous du tranchant, avec un organe de rappel de l'élément de guidage vers sa première position, dans lequel appareil l'éléme de support et de guidage se présente sous la forme d'un volet articulé autour d'un axe fixe, sensiblement parallèle à la ligne de pincement, situé du côté du bord de l'élément voisin de cette ligne et s'étendant au voisinage du plan contenant la ligne de pincement et le point milieu du tranchant de la lame tandis que la surface de support est de forme telle que, après environ la moitié de la découpe, la zone de contact du volet avec la bande restant à découper s'éloigne de la lame au fur et à mesure de la progression de la découpe. To solve these problems, the present invention relates to a ticket dispensing device at from a continuous strip of paper, each formed by an end section of this strip capable of being seized by a recipient of the ticket and detached by traction on this end, including a pinching mechanism paper along a cross line of the strip, a cutting blade substantially transverse to the strip on the cutting edge of which, when pulled above, the strip is supported, the cutting edge of the blade being formed by a segment of a secant line of the plane of the paper strip in contact with the front blade cutout containing the pinch line, the apparatus comprising also a support and guiding element for the band between the pinching mechanism and the blade section, having an area limited by a neighboring edge of the blade and an edge close to the pinching mechanism, movable between a first position in which the edge of the neighboring surface of the blade is located entirely above of the cutting edge of this blade and a second position in which this edge is located entirely below the sharp, with a return member for the guide element towards its first position, in which device the support and guide element is under the form of a flap articulated around a fixed axis, substantially parallel to the pinch line, located on the side of the edge of the element next to this line and extending to the vicinity of the plane containing the pinch line and the midpoint of the cutting edge of the blade while the surface support is shaped such that after about half of the cutout, the area where the shutter contacts the remaining strip to be cut away from the blade as and measurement of cutting progress.
Un tel volet présente plusieurs avantages, en particulier dans le cas où la lame de coupe est relativement proche de la ligne de pincement de la bande. En effet, dans ce cas, la position de l'axe d'articulation du volet telle que précisée ci-dessus, permet d'optimiser l'encombrement de ce volet et d'équilibrer son débattement entre le point haut et le point bas de la lame. En outre, la lame étant proche de la ligne de pincement, il se crée un problème secondaire qui est la variation importante le long du fil de coupe de l'angle que fait la bande au passage de la lame sous l'effet de la traction du destinataire du ticket. Cet angle est relativement fermé au point haut de la coupe et s'ouvre rapidement pour être au point bas très obtus, ce qui place le papier dans des conditions très défavorables pour être correctement coupé. En outre, au voisinage du point bas, le papier n'oppose plus beaucoup de résistance à l'effort de traction puisque sa largeur non coupée a beaucoup diminuée et devient sensible à l'effort qu'exerce sur lui le volet articulé de guidage. Grâce à l'évolution de la surface de contact du volet avec le papier lorsque la découpe se rapproche du point bas de la lame, le volet de l'invention présente l'avantage de ne pas être un facteur d'ouverture de l'angle susdit au voisinage de ce point inférieur de coupe.Such a component has several advantages, in particularly in the case where the cutting blade is relatively close to the pinch line of the strip. Indeed, in this case, the position of the hinge pin of the component as specified above, optimizes the size of this component and to balance its travel between the high point and the low point of the blade. In Besides, the blade being close to the nip line, it a secondary problem is created which is the significant variation along the cutting line at the angle that the strip at the passage of the blade under the effect of traction of the ticket recipient. This angle is relatively closed at the top of the cut and opens quickly to be at the very obtuse low point, which places the paper in very unfavorable conditions to be properly chopped off. In addition, near the bottom point, the paper no longer offers much resistance to the effort of traction since its uncut width has greatly decreased and becomes sensitive to the effort exerted on it by the articulated guide flap. Thanks to the evolution of the surface of contact of the shutter with the paper when the cutout approaches the bottom point of the blade, the flap of the invention has the advantage of not being a factor of the above-mentioned angle in the vicinity of this point lower cutting.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la lame de coupe est plane et est inclinée de manière que le bord du volet voisin de la lame de coupe soit au plus proche de cette lame dans sa première position. Cette disposition permet de supprimer le risque de voir le bord avant de la lame de papier s'introduire intempestivement entre le volet et la lame au début de l'avance de la bande pouvant conduire à un bourrage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cutting blade is flat and inclined so that the edge of the flap next to the cutting blade is at most close to this blade in its first position. This provision eliminates the risk of seeing the edge before the paper blade introduce itself unexpectedly between the shutter and the blade at the start of the feed advance tape may lead to jamming.
Enfin, le bord tranchant rectiligne de la lame est incliné sur le plan passant par la ligne de pincement et l'axe du volet d'un angle compris entre 8° et 12°. Cet angle, de préférence autour de 11°, est la valeur de compromis déterminée expérimentalement, qui permet d'obtenir une découpe du ticket sous une traction la plus faible possible et sans que le papier ne glisse sans être découpé en direction du point bas. En effet, un tel glissement ne pourrait conduire qu'à un froissement du papier avant cette découpe, ce qui compromettrait l'émission correcte du ticket suivant.Finally, the straight cutting edge of the blade is inclined on the plane passing through the pinch line and the axis of the shutter at an angle between 8 ° and 12 °. This angle, preferably around 11 °, is the compromise value experimentally determined, which provides a cut of the ticket under the weakest traction possible and without the paper slipping without being cut towards the lowest point. Indeed, such a shift could only lead to wrinkling of the paper before this cut, which would compromise the correct emission of the next ticket.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description donnée ci-après à titre purement indicatif d'un exemple de réalisation d'un appareil de délivrance de tickets imprimés.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description given below at title purely indicative of an embodiment of a apparatus for issuing printed tickets.

De manière connue, une imprimante thermique comprend
un rouleau 1 (appelé cabestan) d'entraínement du
papier, motorisé par des moyens non représentés, sur lequel
prend appui une tête d'impression 2 par l'intermédiaire
d'une ligne de points chauffants 3. Le papier à
imprimer 4 est entraíné par le rouleau sous la ligne de
points chauffants 3, un dispositif élastique de rappel
maintenant la pression de la tête 2 sur le cabestan 1.In known manner, a thermal printer comprises
a roller 1 (called capstan) for driving the
paper, motorized by means not shown, on which
supports a
A la sortie de l'imprimante, le papier est supporté
et guidé par la surface supérieure 5a d'une pièce
entretoise 5 faisant partie du bâti de l'appareil pour
parvenir et glisser sur la surface supérieure 7 d'un volet
6 articulé au bâti de la machine immédiatement derrière
la pièce de support 5. L'axe 8 d'articulation du
volet 6 est situé dans le plan de la surface de guidage
5a et est sensiblement parallèle, soit à la ligne de
points chauffants, soit à l'axe du cabestan 1. Le volet 6
possède un bord extrême 9 qui est voisin d'une lame de
coupe 10 et un autre bord 11 sensiblement parallèle au
bord 9 qui est voisin de la pièce 5 de support du papier.At the exit of the printer, the paper is supported and guided by the
La lame de coupe 10 est parallèle à la ligne de
points chauffants et à l'axe 8 d'articulation du volet au
bâti de l'appareil. Elle possède un bord tranchant (ou
fil de coupe) 10a qui est sécant du plan de la surface 5a
donc du plan qui contient la bande de papier au sortir de
l'imprimante. La lame de coupe 10 est disposée de manière
que son tranchant 10a ait un point milieu 10d dans le
plan du guide 5 qui contient l'axe 8. Ainsi, une moitié
du tranchant est au-dessus de ce plan et contient le
point supérieur 10c de coupe à l'endroit duquel se produit
l'amorce de découpe lorsqu'un usager de l'appareil
tire sur l'extrémité de la bande qui lui est présentée.
L'autre moitié du tranchant est sous ce plan et contient
le point 10d inférieur de découpe, à l'endroit duquel la
coupe prend fin au bord de la bande opposé au bord où
s'est produit l'amorçage de la découpe. Cette lame 10 enfin
est représentée inclinée en direction du volet ; en
d'autres termes le plan passant par l'axe 8 et la ligne 3
de points chauffants n'est pas perpendiculaire à la lame
de coupe de manière que la moitié supérieure du tranchant
10a de la lame soit au plus proche du volet lorsqu'il est
dans son état représenté à la figure 1, c'est-à-dire
avant toute découpe.The
La surface supérieure 7 du volet présente deux
portions 7a, 7b. La portion 7a est celle qui est en contact
avec le ruban de papier au début de la découpe jusqu'à
ce que celle-ci parvienne au voisinage du point 10b
au milieu du tranchant de la lame 10. Cette partie 7a de
la surface 7 est sensiblement une surface plane qui passe
au-dessus de l'axe 8. Lorsque l'on parvient à la moitié
de la découpe environ, le ruban de papier 4 tendu par
l'usager commence à prendre appui sur la partie 7b de la
surface qui est formée comme une sorte de chanfrein sur
le volet permettant au papier qui prend appui sur elle de
passer progressivement sous l'axe d'articulation 8. Dans
cette configuration, représentée à la figure 2, on voit
que le contact du volet avec la bande 4 de papier s'éloigne
de la lame de coupe au fur et à mesure de la progression
de la découpe. Cette disposition permet de réduire
la déviation du papier par le volet, ce dernier étant
rappelé élastiquement vers sa position représentée à la
figure 1 par un ressort de rappel schématiquement représenté
en 12 à la figure 3. En effet, le volet 6 repousse
vers le haut le papier avec une force d'autant plus
grande que le ressort 12 est bandé. Cette force tend donc
à soulever le papier donc à ouvrir l'angle A, ce qui affecte
la qualité de la coupe surtout dans sa deuxième
moitié. On comprend, au vu de la figure 2, que cet angle
A sera d'autant moins ouvert que le point de contact du
volet et du papier s'éloigne de la lame. La zone 7b de la
surface supérieure du volet 6 est dessinée de manière à
permettre cet éloignement, et, en outre, à pratiquement
effacer le volet en fin de découpe pour profiter de la
valeur minimale de l'angle A imposé par la construction
de l'appareil (position relative du tranchant de la lame
et, par exemple, de la sortie de la surface de guidage
5a).The
