ABSTRACT:
The present invention features an apparatus for a journal-receipt printing machine. The apparatus semi-automatically loads the journal paper onto the take-up spool. The machine also has a drop-in, loading capability for the journal-paper supply-roll. The journal-printing apparatus utilizes a duckbill, take-up core or spool that is bifurcated into stationary and movable sections. The bifurcated spool is spring-loaded, and is caused to bias-close through the movement on the cam surface. The leader of the journal paper is placed over the stationary section of the spool. The gear train causes the cam follower to turn over the cam surface and close. The gear train then forces the duckbill spool shut against its biasing, thus capturing the paper between the spool sections. In this fashion, the procedure of resupplying the machine with journal paper is accomplished without the user having to thread paper. A pair of rollers positioned within the spool allows the captured leader of the journal paper to be easily removed from the closed spool.
