20080229892 | LIMITING DEVICE FOR ROLL PRINTERS - A limiting device to prevent unwanted removal of paper from a paper or ticket printing and dispensing apparatus for paper roll printers, including paper cutter actuating means, positioned between a ticket dispensing exit and a cutting device to cut paper onto which printing has taken place and for controlling feeding of the paper and for controlling operation of the printer; activation of the cutting device is responsive to either an incompletely printed ticket or an action externally of said apparatus or to completion of any printing onto the ticket; a movable member or curved door is provided to more from a deactivation position to an activation position to control the operation of the paper cutter and the curved door is responsive to completion of a ticket printing operation or an occlusion at the dispensing exit or to a pre-set printing operation. | 09-25-2008 |
20080247799 | THERMAL PRINTER HEAD WITH PRINT CONTROL DEVICES - A thermal printer head and print control device capable of controlling what is printed onto a voucher, which includes a printer head and an image control sensor placed in an upper part of the printer head, and including an electronic card on a control unit and cables for connecting the image control sensor to the electronic card and the control unit. | 10-09-2008 |
20090196671 | Printing roll release mechanism - A printing roll release and retainer mechanism to facilitate the insertion of a printing roller into a printing head of a thermal printer and to facilitate the locking thereof to the printing head and to facilitate the removal of the printing roller from the printing head wherein a holder is provided for receiving and permitting withdrawal of the printing roller and a pair of oppositely spaced members is provided for to hold the shaft roller. | 08-06-2009 |
20090231409 | PRINT CONTROL DEVICE FOR A THERMAL PRINTER - A print control device for a thermal printer for detecting a failure in a component of the thermal printer to prevent an incorrect printing of an item to be printed which provides for a thermal resistor associated with each component of the printer to render the printer inoperative when the component becomes defective, and a MOSFET for each thermal resistor associated with a feeder, a driver and a group detector which prevents the printer from printing when the thermal resistor changes the effective resistance in the circuit with the MOSFET and the group detector and driver. | 09-17-2009 |
20090250481 | CUTTING AND CLOSURE MECHANISM FOR TICKET OR VOUCHER DISPENSER AND METHOD - A cutting and closure mechanism for a ticket or voucher dispenser and a method for dispensing a ticket or voucher from a free standing roller printer provided with a shutter to prevent unwanted access to the ticket exit opening to prevent jamming or a backing-up of the printed tickets and comprises a connection to check and on/off card and provided with a shaft | 10-08-2009 |
20150367653 | Printer For Kiosks - A printer for kiosks is disclosed that includes an anti-intrusion door that is movable between a normal closed position and an open position in which it respectively closes and opens a passage through which a printed document is guided, moving from the normal closed position to the open position by a thrust exerted by the exiting document and returning to the closed position through the effect of its weight after the printed document has been removed. | 12-24-2015 |

20140026812 | TICKET PRINTER - In a ticket printer, an end of a paper sensor has an optic emitter and receiver arranged one after the other in the paper advancement direction and operationally connected together via a signal guide. The emitter and the receiver are arranged on one side of the path of the paper whereas the signal guide is arranged on the opposite side. | 01-30-2014 |
20140034718 | TICKET PRINTER - A ticket printer includes a path along which a strip of paper advances. The path terminates at a presentation outlet of a ticket separated from the strip. On the path, there is a movable deviating body that can selectively close or open an accumulating zone that branches off from the path and can receive a part of a strip that will be severed to form the ticket. | 02-06-2014 |
20150221138 | CUTTING APPARATUS - A cutting apparatus is disclosed for separating, intermittently, receipts or tickets from a continuous strip of material, in which the strip is cut by a stationary blade when the user tensions the strip by pulling an end thereof, in which the cut margin of the strip is disengaged from the blade by virtue of an elastically movable element that has a non cutting edge extending in length next to the entire length of a cutting edge of the blade, and in which the strip tensioned during the cut pushes the non cutting edge in a recessing position with respect to the cutting edge and after cutting the non cutting edge returns elastically to a protruding position beyond the cutting edge. | 08-06-2015 |
20150259171 | DISPENSING APPARATUS - An apparatus and a method for distributing printed slips or tickets are disclosed that are obtained from a continuous strip of material, in which the strip is cut by a stationary blade when the user tensions the strip by pulling an end thereof; a driven dragging roller that makes the strip advance in an intermittent manner, is interrupted if a sensor detects that the strip is tensioned to be cut. | 09-17-2015 |
