Booklet medium-handling device |
(57) A booklet medium-handling device having a simplified structure which makes it possible
to realize a stable operation for closing a passbook. A page turning mechanism (booklet
medium-handling device) conveys a passbook to a predetermined position in a state
of a movable guide raised to open part of an upper surface of a conveying path. The
page turning mechanism conveys the passbook until one end thereof is guided by the
movable guide in a state having one end thereof pushed up by a pusher. After retracting
the pusher from the conveying path, the page turning mechanism presses down the passbook
in a closing direction by inclining the movable guide. The page turning mechanism
supports a page to be closed backward using a conveying roller and the movable guide,
thereby closing the passbook while keeping the same folded at a sharp angle about
a binding stitch line portion.
