<p>A continuous strip of ticket stock 20 from which individual tickets 22 can be separated comprises at each separation line 40 a collinear transversely extending perforation 32, a bursting slot 34, and a slit 38 at each end of the bursting slot 34. A ticket dispenser 50 for dispensing individual tickets 22 includes a drive mechanism that drives the strip of ticket stock 20 in both a forward direction, over a burst barb 80 and through a guide 78, and a reverse direction so as to engage the burst barb in the bursting slot 34. The burst barb propagates a separation from the bursting slot 34 outwardly through the perforation 32 to separate the individual ticket 22. The ticket stock may be provided with cog holes 26 which engage with cogs 60 on a drive wheel 58 which is driven by a DC motor 62. If a magnetic stripe 28 is provided on the ticket it may be read/written upon by encoder 72. Written text can be printed on the ticket by a printer 66. The dispenser is controlled by a microprocessor control system (fig 5). Notches 24 may be provided to prevent edge curling, and the tickets may be made of plasticized paper or other suitable materials. For loading into the dispenser the ticket stock may be provided in roll or fan- fold form. <IMAGE></p> |
