  • Fare adjustment machine for prepaid card type tickets
    Patent number: 4977994
    Abstract: A fare adjustment machine, wherein a card conveyor for carrying a fare-adjusted card and a receipt conveyor for carrying a printed receipt are disposed with their passages intersecting each other so that the surfaces of the card and the receipt cross each other perpendicularly. The receipt is held at one-side at the intersection by a clamp mechanism and released from the receipt conveyor by a release mechanism. The receipt thus held is pushed at its lower side by the card carried by the card conveyor so that it falls down flat on top of the card, and the card and receipt are then then simultaneously discharged from the machine.
