A linear actuator may include a fixed body having a coil wound around in a ring-shaped manner and a movable body. The movable body may include a first movable body side yoke which is disposed on the inner side of the coil and a pair of magnets which is laminated on both sides in an axial direction of the first movable body side yoke such that the same polarities of the magnets face the first movable body side yoke. The movable body may be driven in the axial direction. The linear actuator may be applied to a valve device and a pump device.

A hot-stamping foil tape cassette comprises a hot-stamping foil tape transferred by pressure application together with a value-added medium to the value-added medium and a windup reel for winding up the hot-stamping foil tape. The reel on which the hot-stamping foil tape is wound is stored in a cassette case. A shutter is included which at the time of hot-stamping transfer is in a protective position that protects the hot-stamping foil tape. The shutter at the time of hot-stamping transfer withdraws to a withdrawal position that does not interfere with action of the hot-stamping transfer. After hot-stamping, by the shutter, the hot-stamping foil tape can be peeled from the value-added medium. A foil-peeling mechanism for a hot-stamping device, a peeling method for a hot-stamping foil and a control method for a hot-stamping foil tape cassette are also disclosed.

This invention relates to a hot-stamping device comprising a stamping arm with one end being a free end, a stamping section adapted to apply pressure to a hot-stamping foil positioned at the free end to a value-added medium such as ticket wherein the hot-stamping foil is transferred to the value-added medium. A first cam, in contact with said stamping arm, is used for moving a stamping section to close proximity of the value-added medium. A first drive section driving said first cam and a second cam for bringing pressure-exerting load to bear on the stamping section is used to move to close proximity a value-added medium. A second drive section is used for driving a second cam.

A winding device is disclosed comprising a winding mechanism for winding a thin medium, such as paper, film and cloth and the like, output by a printer on a winding core. A looseness-detecting sensor is provided for detecting looseness of the medium and for actuating the winding mechanism upon detection. When a sheet tray is attached to the printer, the looseness-detecting sensor is capable of receding from the moving area of the medium.

A card issuing device and method capable of handling a plurality of types of cards with a single card extracting and moving mechanism having two motors. The device has a plurality of card stackers each for storing a plurality of cards, and a card extracting and moving mechanism movably provided for extracting cards one at a time from any one of the card stackers. A card reader for recording or reading information on or from the card, an engraving/embossing device for marking characters on the card, and a topper mechanism for applying color to the marked characters are provided. A waste card receiver is also provided and is driven by the same motors that drive the card extracting and moving mechanisms. Correction of card inclination effect can be performed so that the marked characters for a row parallel to a desired edge of the card even when the card is held at an angle with respect to the moving direction during the marking process. The correction is carried out by measuring the degree of inclination of the card, and moving the card in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the marking before marking each subsequent character, the amount of the perpendicular movement being dependent on the measured degree of inclination of the card.

A winding core holding mechanism is described for holding at least one end portion of a winding core on which a thin medium such as paper, film, or cloth is wound. The mechanism comprises a base fixed in the axial direction of the winding core. A larger diameter reference portion is included, which is capable of axially moving in and out of the base and abuts an end face of the winding core. The mechanism also comprises a tapered larger diameter centering portion which is capable of axially moving in and out of the larger diameter reference portion and fits into the winding core of larger diameter. Also included is a smaller diameter reference portion, which is capable of axially moving in and out of the base and abuts an end face of the winding core of smaller diameter. A tapered smaller diameter centering portion is further included, which is capable of axially moving in and out of the smaller diameter reference portion and fits into the winding core of smaller diameter. In order to hold the winding core of larger diameter, the larger diameter centering portion centers the winding core while falling into the larger diameter reference portion, and also the larger diameter reference portion falls into the base to position the end face at a predetermined reference position with respect to the base. In order to hold the winding core of smaller diameter, the smaller diameter centering portion centers the winding core while falling into the smaller diameter reference portion, and also the smaller diameter reference portion, the larger diameter reference portion, and the larger diameter centering portion fall into the base to position the end face at the reference position.
