改かい札さつ鋏はさみ

noun

ticket punch

A handheld device used by station staff to punch holes in tickets at ticket gates. Now largely replaced by automated gates, so the word is mainly encountered in historical or nostalgic contexts.

• 昔むかし、駅えき員いんは改かい札さつ鋏はさみで切きっ符ぷに穴あなを開あけていた。

  In the past, station staff used a ticket punch to make holes in tickets.
