Abstract

Abstract A magnetic recording and printing device for card mediums, having a magnetic recording section and a printing section, wherein the card mediums are transferred along the peripheral surface of a rotary cylinder which serves as a platen for printing, and during the transfer of the card mediums, data are magnetically recorded and read out by a magnetic head stationarily disposed close to but separated from the peripheral surface of the rotary cylinder.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 216 words
A magnetic recording and printing device for card mediums adapted to effect a magnetic recording and a printing on a card medium comprising: a rotary cylinder having an outer peripheral surface; a transfer belt adapted to run in contact with a part of the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder with said card medium being clamped and held therebetween; a printing head having a part of the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder used as a platen; a freely rotatable roller having an outer peripheral surface whose generating line coincides with the extension of a line formed between the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder and a plane tangential to the latter said roller being rotated only by a card carried by said belt; a magnetic head disposed in a different position from that of said printing head oppositely to the outer peripheral surface of said roller, and closely to the extension of the line formed between the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder and the plane tangential to the latter thereby a magnetic recording is made by said magnetic head and then a printing is made by said printing head when a card medium is moved in accordance with the running of said belt and the rotation of said rotary cylinder.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 216 words
A magnetic recording and printing device for card mediums adapted to effect a magnetic recording and a printing on a card medium comprising: a rotary cylinder having an outer peripheral surface; a transfer belt adapted to run in contact with a part of the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder with said card medium being clamped and held therebetween; a printing head having a part of the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder used as a platen; a freely rotatable roller having an outer peripheral surface whose generating line coincides with the extension of a line formed between the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder and a plane tangential to the latter said roller being rotated only by a card carried by said belt; a magnetic head disposed in a different position from that of said printing head oppositely to the outer peripheral surface of said roller, and closely to the extension of the line formed between the outer peripheral surface of said rotary cylinder and the plane tangential to the latter thereby a magnetic recording is made by said magnetic head and then a printing is made by said printing head when a card medium is moved in accordance with the running of said belt and the rotation of said rotary cylinder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A magnetic recording and printing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said magnetic head is fixed to an arm which is biased toward said roller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
A magnetic recording and printing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said roller is positioned on the inside of said rotary cylinder and said magnetic head is positioned on the outside of said rotary cylinder.
