DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a label sticking machine for sticking a large number of labels on a tape one by one to a product.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A label sticking machine of this type draws out a tape by gripping a handle, peels off a label adhered to the tape, and sticks the label on an object. In order to regulate the sliding stroke length of the sliding piece, a conventional label sticking machine is provided with a stopper that can move within the sliding stroke, and the stopper is positioned and fixed with a screw or the like so that the tape feeding length can be adjusted. Had been adjusted.

[0003]

However, in the conventional label sticking machine as described above, there is an obstacle that the label often gets on the label stopper. Once
When the label rides on the label stopper, there is a disadvantage that the subsequent operation becomes impossible due to the adhesive force of the label.

An object of the present invention is to provide a label sticking machine in which a label does not run on a label stopper in view of such a conventional drawback.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is to feed a tape by a feeding mechanism operated by a handle operation, and to peel off a label adhered to the tape. A label attaching machine for attaching the label to an object, wherein the swingable sensing claw and label press attaching member, and the tape swingably attached to the tip of the sensing claw and label press attaching member. When feeding out, a sensing claw and label presser that engages with the tip of the label adhered to the tape to recover and angularly displaceably and angularly displaces the sensing claw and label presser mounting member in conjunction with the angular displacement; The tape dispensing length that is angularly displaced in conjunction with the angular displacement of the sensing claw and label press attaching member and is dispensed by the dispensing mechanism is automatically adjusted to match the adhesive pitch of the label, and And adjusting stop lever for stopping the movement of the mechanism out, and a disengagement member for releasing the engagement of said detecting pawl and label presser to label the tip in conjunction with the return movement of the handle, sensing displaced the angle Claw and label holder
Has a label holding part and a tip part, and the label is
When contacting the front end, the label presser
It is characterized by holding the upper front surface .

[0006]

In the label sticking machine according to the present invention, since the label stopper and the label presser have an integral structure, it is possible to stop the label and at the same time physically press the leading end of the label, thereby preventing the label from getting on the label. .

have. The saw-tooth plate 41 is integrally fixed to the adjustment stop lever 39 with the teeth 41 a facing the adjustment claw 43 of the feeding mechanism 5 and substantially along the sliding direction of the adjustment claw 43.

The disengagement member 42 has a substantially rectangular shape, is mounted on a side plate 1b with a small lever shaft 42d at a predetermined position, and has a tip 42b on the side close to the adjustment stop lever 39 and a base on the segment side. An end 42a, a rod-like projection 42c projecting inward from the base end 42a, and a shaft 50 erected on the side plate 1b.
The base end 50c is urged by a spring 51 in the direction in which the rod-shaped projection 42c is locked by the front-end concave groove 0b.

The lock member 50 is provided so as to be able to abut a projection 4b provided upright on a part of the segment 4a.
The protrusion 4b presses the rod-shaped protrusion 42c in the return stroke of the handle when the handle 4 returns to the open state, and rotates the engagement release member 42 in the direction indicated by the arrow A.

By the pressing action of the projection 4b, the roller on the tip end 42b side of the disengagement member 42 presses the end of the adjustment stop lever 39 on the side of the saw tooth plate 41, and the claw mounting member 28 is The tip and the sensing claw / label press 29 are displaced in a direction to separate from the tape, and the tension spring 37 restores the sensing claw / label press 29 from the standing state to the tape to the original position along the tape. To prepare for the next engagement.

Next, the operation of the label sticking machine according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The tape T passes from the partial circumferential surface 1d of the concave portion 1g to the guide surface 6b of the peeling guide member 6 through the flat surface 1e, the guide plate 33 and the sensing claw / label presser 29, and the tape T is directed at the tip of the peeling guide member 6. Is sharply changed so as to fit inside the holding plate 13g and the door body 13 and furthermore, a center hole is formed in the outer periphery of the tape holding member 3 so that the tip is led out through the teeth 13a of the door body 13. It is fitted and mounted at a predetermined position.

When the handle 4 is closed by operating the handle 4 opened with respect to the grip 1c, the projection 4b rotates the lock member 50 about the shaft 50a, and the lock of the disengagement member 42 is released. Then, it is rotated in the direction of arrow A.
In the forward stroke of the feed claw 18 sliding along the guide rod 26a, the leading end of the tooth 24a of the claw piece 24 catches the tape T between the tip of the tooth 24a and the receiving guide plate 31 of the door body 13 and feeds it out.

At this time, the direction of the tape T can be changed by the peeling guide member 6, but the label L adhered to the tape T is
In order to move straight without changing the direction, the label is peeled off from the tape T, and the sensing claw and label holder 29 is attached to the peeled label L.
Engages the distal end of the label L ₁ adjacent to, be allowed angular displacement at the tip of the label, Standing tip to the guide surface 6b of the attaching machine 1 fixed peeling guide member 6, the guide surface 6
b, the claw mounting member 28 is angularly displaced and the engaging shaft 36 is moved (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

The adjustment stop lever 39 is angularly displaced by the movement of the engagement shaft 36, the saw-tooth plate 41 is moved toward the adjustment piece 27, the tip of the adjustment claw 43 is hooked on the teeth of the saw-tooth plate 41, and the label is The slide piece 22 and the feed claw 18 are positioned and stopped at a predetermined position corresponding to the bonding pitch. The label L remains at the pressing piece 7b of the pressing roll 7 with the bonding surface facing outward.

The remaining label L can be pressed against an object and attached to a predetermined position. Next, when the hand is released from the handle 4, the handle 4 returns to the closed state by the action of the tension spring 8, and at this time, the adjusting claw 43 comes into contact with the tooth slope of the sawtooth plate 41 and moves while separating from the receiving portion 27c. At the end of the return stroke, the pressing portion 4c of the segment 4a comes into contact with the rod-shaped projection 42c, angularly displacing the disengagement member 42, and pressing the adjustment stop lever 39 with the roller on the tip 42b side of the disengagement member 42. This allows the sensing claw and label holder 29
Moves in a direction away from the guide surface 6b and the tape T,
Tip is restored to its original position under the action of the tension spring 37 away from the tip of the label L _1.

In this label sticking machine, the tape holding member 3, the peeling guide member 6 and the door 13 are of a cantilever type and only one end is supported. It is possible to easily cope with tapes having a wide range of widths, such as wide ones protruding from the length of the member.

As described above, in the label sticking machine of the present invention, since the label sensing claw is integrally formed with the label presser, the label does not ride on the sensing claw.

The label sticking machine according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be of a type using a pair of rollers as a feeding mechanism. Various other types known in the art may be used, and various other modifications are possible.
