Instruments for punching tickets, also known as ticket punches, are handheld devices used to perforate or puncture paper tickets. These devices are commonly used in transportation systems, such as trains, buses, and subways, to validate passenger tickets and prevent fraud. Ticket punches typically consist of a metal body with a spring-loaded punch mechanism and a removable die. The die is a small metal plate with a specific pattern of holes, which corresponds to the validation requirements of the ticket. When a ticket is inserted into the punch, the punch mechanism is activated, and the die punctures the ticket with the required pattern of holes. Ticket punches come in different sizes and shapes, depending on the type of ticket they are designed to validate. For example, some ticket punches are designed to punch round holes, while others punch rectangular or triangular holes. Some ticket punches are also equipped with a built-in ink pad, which allows them to stamp the date and time of validation on the ticket. In addition to their use in transportation systems, ticket punches are also used in other industries, such as event management and entertainment. For example, ticket punches are commonly used at amusement parks and movie theaters to validate admission tickets.
