International Classification:

G06K 704

US Classification:

235448, 235449, 235435

Abstract:

An embossed card package production system with a computer controller ( ) for accessing embossed card information in a card data memory ( ) and embosser ( ) for embossing a card ( ) with the stored embossed information and an embossed card verification system with an embossed card character reader ( ) for reading embossed information ( ) on the card with the computer controller comparing the read embossed information on the card ( ) with the stored embossed information for the card in the card data memory ( ) to determine if there is a match and automatically identifies each card which has embossed information on the card which does not match the stored information on the card to reject each card identified as being incorrectly produced.

Abstract:

A card package production system (20) for producing card packages (22) with cards (26) mounted to bifold carrier forms (24) with a pair of parallel, spaced, preweakened fold lines (33) and (34) dividing the body (32) of the carrier forms into leading end (35), middle (36) and lagging end (37) sections, a card carrier form folding apparatus (30) having a stop member (46) located extending downwardly into a blocking position along a folding path (44), a plurality of rollers (38)(39) and (40) for moving the carrier forms (24) along the folding path (44) and into the stop member (46) to buckle the leading end (35) and middle section (36) away from the folding path (44), a pushing member (56) driven by an electric motor (57) engaging the lagging end section (37) to push the carrier form (24) along the folding path (44) to pivotally swing the stop member (46) to a nonblocking position enabling the middle section (36) to fall back against the lagging section (37) folding the carrier (24) along fold lines (33) and (34) a transporting pushing pin member (74) interconnected with a circulating chain linkage (76) extending through a slot opening (242) in the folding path (44) to turn the folded carrier (24) about a pivot pin (220) for ejectment to a folded carrier outlet station (240).
