Abstract
The invention relates to a device for the processing a magnetic-track ticket, especially an air transport ticket, of the type comprising: an insertion station (G1, G2), a magnetic reading/writing station (19), an issuing station (G3, G4) and a belt (C1) wound in a closed circuit around rollers, one of which is a driving roller, and designed to drive the ticket along an internal path extending from the insertion station to the issuing station. According to one characteristic of the invention, the ticket has weakening lines (16) corresponding to the cutout and division format of the portions of the ticket, the belt (C1) extends as far as a drum (T), about which the ticket issuing station (G4) and at least one additional ticket output interact, while a cutting-out station (20) is provided between the reading/writing station (19) and the drum (T), thus making it possible to direct the ticket portions that have been cutout towards the issuing station (30) or towards the additional output, depending on the content of the readable information on the said portions.
