Definitions

  • the invention relates to a set of tape cassettes and in particular an image receiving tape cassette with an image transfer ribbon cassette or a thermal direct print ribbon cassette, which can be used in a thermal printing device are.
  • this section of the tape is cut off to to use it as a label.
  • the detachable back layer is removed from the top layer to the top Apply the layer to a surface using the adhesive layer to be able to.
  • EP-A-0322919 contains a tape cassette a supply of a transparent image receiving tape and one Stock of an image transfer belt.
  • the tape cartridge contains also a supply of backing tape, which is a backing layer with an adhesive layer on its underside which has a peelable backing paper attached, and one includes adhesive layer on its top, which is on the image receiving tape can be attached after an image is printed on it has been.
  • the image is a mirror image printed on the image receiving tape that appears right side up when you look through the image reception band. With this The device is protected from the imprint if the label is used becomes.
  • the color of the print and the label predetermined by the content of the tape cassette are the color of the print and the label predetermined by the content of the tape cassette.
  • the color of the label refers to the top layer of the image receiving tape of the device described in EP-A-0267890 and the Carrier layer of the device described in relation to EP-A-0322919.
  • the color of the print is determined by the color of the image transfer belt established. So labels of a certain Color printed only with ink of a certain color become. Furthermore, they will end together because of image reception band and image transfer tape in a common tape cassette are included.
  • Another device has two tape cartridges, one
  • the ink ribbon cartridge is nest-like within a substrate ribbon cartridge arranged on a common side of the pressure zone. This means that it is tricky and difficult to do that Removable ink ribbon cassette.
  • the outer dimensions of the ink ribbon cartridge the dimensions of the substrate tape set so that their Size or capacity increased only at the expense of the substrate tape could be.
  • a printing device that solves the above problems is known from EP-A-0573187 known.
  • This document discloses a printing device the first and second tape cassette receiving areas have that on opposite sides of a printing zone are arranged.
  • the first tape cassette receiving area is used to receive a Tape cassette containing a supply of image transfer tape.
  • the second tape cassette receiving area is used for recording a tape cassette containing a stock of image receiving tape contains. In this way, the first and second tape cassettes be individually removable and replaceable.
  • This pressure device has a wide range of applications. It has however, the limitation that the currently available Widths of the image receiving belt a maximum width of 19 mm to have.
  • the width of the image receiving band is 6 mm, 12 mm and 19 mm available. These all work with an image transfer belt with a width of 19 mm together.
  • image transfer belt with a width of 19 mm is not wide enough for the full extension of an image reception band Width of 24 mm or 32 mm. It is therefore desirable to have one To provide a tape cassette with image transfer tape, the one has a larger width.
  • EP-A-0 607 025 suggests automatic tensioning of the ribbon for this purpose when the print head swivels from its operative to its inoperative position.
  • Various methods are also proposed for recognizing the tape parameters of different cassettes.
  • EP-A-0 625 427 shows a device which contains band sensors which are able to distinguish between different band types.
  • EP-A-0 634 274 proposes a simple switching mechanism at the bottom of the cassette receiving bay. Different types of cassettes that can be inserted in this bay contain different grooves on their underside, which push the switching mechanism into different positions when the relevant cassettes are inserted. In this way, a microprocessor that controls the printer receives the necessary information about the inserted tape.
  • a first aspect of the invention is a set of tape cartridges proposed comprising at least two tape cassettes of a first type and two tape cartridges of a second Type, with tape cassettes of the first type having an image receiving tape each contain different tape parameters and tape cartridges of the second type of image transfer belt with each contain different band parameters, and each Tape cassette of the first type, a first mechanical interaction means has, depending on the band parameter of the image reception band, and each tape cassette of the second type has a second mechanical interaction means has, depending on the band parameter of the image transmission band, the first and second interaction means are arranged so that they are selective with each other interact mechanically and only interact properly selected tape cartridge of the second type with the tape cartridges allow of the first type and otherwise cooperation exclude the tape cassettes.
  • the band parameter is Width of the band. It is also possible to use the invention their band parameters, such as color or type of image reception band or transmission tape, to ensure that only properly matching bands work together can.
  • One of the first and second interaction means can be one Component protruding from the tape cassette, the Shape depends on the parameter of the tape.
  • the other of the first and second cooperation means can be an incision made in the tape cassette be, the shape of which depends on the parameter of the tape and such is designed so that only the component of the properly selected Tape cassette is receivable in it.
  • image transfer belt is in two 19mm and 28mm widths provided.
  • the width of 19 mm is suitable for use with image receiving tape with a Width of 6 mm, 12 mm and 19 mm.
  • the width of 28 mm of the Image transmission tape is suitable for using image receiving tape with a width of 24 mm or 32 mm.
  • thermo printing device provided with a first tape cassette receiving area to hold a first tape cassette, the one Contains stock of image receiving tape, a second tape cassette receiving area to hold a second tape cassette, which a stock of image transfer belt for printing a Contains image; Means for moving the image receiving tape through a printing zone in overlay with the image transfer belt, so that an image from the image transfer belt to the image receiving belt is transferable, the first and second Tape cassette each of the first and second groups can be selected so that they can be removed and replaced individually where the groups are a set of tape cartridges as above described form.
  • each tape cassette can easily be separated removed and inserted without the other to influence. Because each tape cassette is recorded separately it is not necessary to take the other one out, so that they are removed, mixed and used as desired can only be dependent on the selection of a proper one Type of image transmission tape for a selected image receiving tape. Furthermore, the size and capacity is everyone Tape cassette only through the tape cassette receiving areas and not determined by the other tape cassette.
  • FIG. 1 shows the view of a tape printing device 1, in which the present invention is used and the two arranged therein Contains tape cartridges.
