Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for printing and dispensing self-adhesive labels adhering to a carrier tape, with an operating lever which, from a rest position in which it holds a printing unit lifted from a printing table, into a working position in which it attaches the printing unit to the system
  • the printing table holds, is pivotable, a transport device for gradually pulling the carrier tape over the printing table and around a dispensing edge at which the self-adhesive labels detach from the carrier tape and reach a dispensing position, and a braking device for clamping the carrier tape with the self-adhesive labels adhering to it on the way to the dispensing edge in the rest position of the operating lever.
  • a self-adhesive label can be brought into the dispensing position by first pulling an operating lever and then releasing it again. While the lever is being pulled on, the label in the device is imprinted by lowering the printing unit onto the label on the printing table by means of the printing unit lever. The imprint can be, for example, a price or an article number.
  • the transport device grips the carrier tape and pulls it around the dispensing edge by a piece corresponding to the label length.
  • the label peels off and reaches the dispensing position below a pressure roller. The label can now be stuck to an object by unrolling the pressure roller.
  • the brake device used in the known device is jammed so that the carrier tape is not pulled back on the object during the application of the label due to any glue bridges present or due to incomplete separation from the subsequent label, so that the subsequent label no longer assumes the correct printing position on the printing table the carrier tape on the way to the printing table only when the operating lever is in its rest position. As soon as the operating lever is pulled against the handle of the device, the clamping action of the braking device is released so that the carrier tape can move.
  • the invention has for its object to design a bone of the type mentioned in such a way that a quick succession of the operating steps required when using the device is made possible without the accuracy of the application of the printing on the labels in the device suffering.
  • the braking device contains a brake actuator that is non-positively pressed into a carrier tape clamping position, from which it can be pivoted into a carrier tape release position that a cam mechanism is arranged between the brake actuator and the operating lever is designed so that the brake actuator is pivoted from the carrier tape clamping position into the carrier tape release position when the operating lever has covered part of its way from the rest position into the working position, and that a lock is provided which the brake actuator in the carrier tape Release position locked and released as soon as the operating lever reaches its rest position.
  • the carrier tape is not only clamped by the braking device in the rest position of the operating lever, but also it is also retained when the operating lever has already covered part of its entire path from the rest position.
  • a retraction of the carrier tape and thus a shifting of the label located on the printing table can therefore not take place if the individual operations required for attaching a label to an object are carried out very quickly in succession or even merge, or if for another reason the Operating lever has been moved somewhat from its rest position during the application of the label.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show the device according to the invention in four successive operating phases.
  • the device shown in Fig. 1 is provided with a housing 1 to which a handle 2 is attached.
  • a shaft 3 for receiving a supply roll 4 of a carrier tape 5 with self-adhesive labels 6 is attached to the top of the housing.
  • the carrier tape 5 runs in the device from the shaft 3 first downward and then forward to a dispensing edge 7, at which the carrier tape 5 is deflected and passed past a transport device 8 to the rear end of the housing.
  • a pressure roller 9 is rotatably mounted in the housing, with which a label 6 'detached from the carrier tape and in the dispensing position can be glued to an object.
  • An operating lever 10 is attached below the handle 2 and is mounted rotatably about an axis 11. Between the handle 2 and the operating lever 10 is one Mounted spring 12, which always tries to push the lever into the rest position shown in Fig. 1. In the housing 1 there is also a printing unit lever 13, which is also rotatably mounted about the axis 11. This printing unit lever 13 carries a printing unit 14, by means of which a self-adhesive label 6 located on a printing table 15 can be printed. Between an arm 16 of the operating lever 10 and the printing unit lever 13, a spring 17 is attached, which serves to transmit a movement of the operating lever 10 directed towards the handle to the printing unit lever 13. In the rest position shown in FIG. 1, the printing unit lever 13 is held in the raised position by a lug 18 on the operating lever 10.
  • the carrier tape 5 On its way from the supply roll 4 to the printing table 15 and to the dispensing edge 7, the carrier tape 5 is passed under a brake plate 19 which is rotatably mounted about an axis 20.
  • a brake actuator 21 is also rotatably mounted on this axis, which has the shape of an angle lever with a pressure arm 22 acting on the brake plate 19 and a locking arm 23 projecting generally upwards in FIG. 1.
  • a spring 24 On the axis 20, a spring 24 is attached, which biases the brake actuator 21 in the representation of FIG. 1 counterclockwise.
  • this spring 24 has a leg 25 which engages with the brake actuating member 21 and a further leg 27 which engages with a support surface 26 fixed to the housing.
  • the brake actuator 21 is provided with a control edge 28 which cooperates with a control member 29 formed by a roller on the printing unit lever 13, as will be explained in more detail later.
  • the brake actuator 21, the control edge 28 attached to it and the control member 29 together form a cam mechanism.
  • the locking arm 23 of the Brake actuator 21 cooperates with a lock 30 formed by a square axis, which is mounted so that it can move in the view of Fig. 1 in the vertical direction, being biased downward by a spring 31 used to achieve a bias becomes.
  • the locking mechanism 30 is raised by the printing mechanism lever 13 against the force of the spring 31 when it assumes its rest position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the locking arm 23 of the brake actuator 21 can pivot under the action of the spring 24 under the locking 30, so that the locking arm 23 holds it in the raised position, even if the printing unit lever 13 moves again moved down.
  • the operating lever 10 takes on its lowest position due to the action of the spring 12, and the printing unit lever 13 is held by the nose 18 on the operating lever 10 so that the printing unit 14 is in its highest position.
  • the printing unit lever 13 also presses the lock 30 upwards so that it does not hinder a rotation of the brake actuator 21 under the action of the spring 24 counterclockwise.
  • the brake actuator 21 is pivoted by the spring 24 so that the locking arm 23 has come under the lock 30 and its pressure arm 22 presses the brake plate 19 against the pressure table 15 in a carrier tape clamping position, so that between the brake member 19 and the pressure table 15th running carrier tape is clamped.
  • the control member 29 touches the control edge 28 on the brake actuating member 21, so that this brake actuating member 21 is pivoted clockwise against the action of the spring 24 into the carrier tape release position.
  • This pivoting has the result that the pressure arm 22 lifts up from the brake plate 19 and that the locking arm 23 releases the way of the lock 30 downward.
  • the pressure arm 22 is lifted when the operating lever 10 has covered a third of its way from the rest position to the working position.
  • Fig. 3 the printing unit lever 13 is shown in the fully lowered working position, in which the printing unit 14 produces an imprint on the label 6 located on the printing table 15.
  • the brake actuator 21 is pivoted in the clockwise direction in the release position, so that the pressure arm 22 is lifted from the brake plate 19.
  • the lock 30 holds the brake actuator 21 in the pivoted position.
  • Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of the moving parts between the two end positions of the operating lever 10.
  • the control member 29 is no longer in engagement with the control edge 28 on the brake actuator 21, but can this brake actuator 21 does not rotate clockwise under the action of the spring 24, since it is prevented by the lock 30. This means that the carrier tape is not clamped between the brake plate 19 and the printing table 15 in this operating phase.
  • the transport device 8 performs a movement from the position shown in FIG. 3 to the position shown in FIG. 1 in the course of the return movement of the operating lever 10 caused by the spring 12, but now firmly engages with the carrier tape 5 stands so that this is pulled by a defined distance, which is equal to the length of a self-adhesive label, around the dispensing edge 7.
  • a self-adhesive label is detached from the carrier tape 5 and reaches the dispensing position below the pressure roller 9.
  • the carrier tape movement is not impeded by the brake plate 19, since this, like was already mentioned, is not pressed by the pressure arm 22 of the brake actuator 21 against the pressure table 15 in this operating phase.
  • the printing mechanism lever 13 abuts against the lock 30 and lifts it so far that it is no longer in engagement with the locking arm 23 of the brake actuator 21.
  • the brake actuator 21 can therefore rotate counterclockwise under the action of the spring 24. Due to this rotation, the pressure arm 22 of the brake actuator 21 comes into contact with the brake plate 19 again, so that the underlying carrier tape is clamped on the printing table.
  • the self-adhesive label 6 'in the dispensing position can be stuck onto an object by rolling off the pressure roller 9.
  • the importance of the brake device formed by the brake plate 19 and the brake actuator 21 becomes apparent.
  • the label which still adheres to the carrier tape 5 with the edge region must be completely detached from the carrier tape. It happens that the label 6 'in the dispensing position is not completely separated from the next label 6 or that its glue layer is still with the glue layer of the next one Label is connected, so that when the dispensed label 6 'is attached to the object, a tensile force is exerted on the carrier tape 5. If there were no braking device, the carrier tape 5 could move on the printing table 15, so that the label 6 to be printed next is no longer in the correct printing position.
  • the braking device described not only clamps the carrier tape firmly during the application of the label 6 'in the dispensing position, but it is also effective during part of the movement of the operating lever 10 against the handle 2 when the next printing and transport operation is carried out.
  • This has the advantageous effect that the carrier tape is still securely clamped to an object during the application of a self-adhesive label even if the operating lever 10 is already pulled against the handle 2 again for the next printing and transport operation.
  • This enables rapid working with the device described, the operations of attaching a label and actuating the lever 10 sometimes even being able to pass into one another without the carrier tape 5 being able to be moved on the printing table.
  • the label print can therefore be attached exactly to the intended location on each label.
