Definitions

  • the invention relates to a feed device for various endless forms, each grouped in rolls or stacks, for feeding to a printer of a data processing system, the rolls or stacks being arranged one below the other and / or next to one another in such a way that the individual endless forms can be pulled up flat side by side .
  • a feed device for continuous forms combined in stacks is already known from US Pat. No. 2,587,827, from which the continuous forms are fed to a printer.
  • the feed device consists of a box with vertically or horizontally arranged compartments, in each of which a stack of continuous forms is arranged.
  • the continuous forms are either pulled up out of the vertical compartments or laterally out of the horizontal compartments and fed to a printer.
  • it is necessary to reach into the respective compartment and to grasp the end of the continuous form located in the compartment, in order then to thread it into the printer.
  • Picking out a continuous form from one compartment when moving from one continuous form to another is an uncomfortable handling, especially when a compartment from the stack in question is almost completely filled, since in this case there is only little space around the relevant one End of the continuous form to be entered by hand.
  • the invention has for its object to largely avoid the back and forth transport of rolls or stacks of continuous forms and to provide a plurality of continuous forms so that they can be inserted into the printer quickly, particularly if one continuous form is to be transferred to another. According to the invention, this is done in that a guide device provided with slots for the passage of an endless form is arranged above the rollers or stacks, with a holding device preventing a downward sliding of the relevant endless form from being provided per slot.
  • the arrangement of the rolls or stacks as described ensures that as many continuous form tapes protrude from the slots of the guide device as are provided for the operation of the data processing system in question.
  • the endless form janders are held in place by the holding device, so that they cannot slide back through the slot in question in the guide device after being separated from the printer.
  • the last processed continuous form tape above the holding device is cut off, the rest of it is removed from the printer, and the continuous form tape required for the next function is pulled out of the guide device and threaded into the printer.
  • the individual continuous form tapes are thus available in the guiding device, each held by the holding device, and can be threaded into the printer easily and, above all, without back and forth movement of the stack or roll in question.
  • the feed device according to the invention has the advantage that no movement of the stacks or rolls is necessary when changing from one continuous form to another. As a result, switching from one continuous form to another can be very quick.
  • the endless forms are readily available with their ends so that they are easy to grasp.
  • the endless forms stand out slightly above the guide device and are therefore also with regard to their characteristics, e.g. Form of printing, immediately recognizable.
  • the guide device is expediently let into a table which is connected to the printer, in particular carries the printer.
  • the stacks or rolls are advantageously deposited below the table top of the table, from where the individual endless form belts are then fed to the slots in the guide device.
  • the holding device can be designed as an eccentrically mounted shaft which, due to its gravity, bears against a wall of the slot in question, the continuous form being pulled up along this wall and pushing the shaft away from the wall when it is pulled off.
  • the trigger can not be hindered by the shaft, but the pressure of the shaft against the wall, the intermediate continuous form tape is pressed against the wall, so that when it is not threaded into the printer, it is guided by the guide device due to its Gravity cannot slide back.
  • the shaft can also be constructed from individual parts per slot, in particular from two parts on the two edges of the continuous form belt.
  • the holding device is conveniently placed in a slot, so that in the case of the use of a table and guide device embedded in it, only the ends of the available continuous form tapes protrude from the table top in question and can easily be fed individually from here to the printer by hand.
  • the holding device is advantageously provided with a signal transmitter which checks the presence of an endless form. As long as this signal generator indicates the presence of the continuous form, the feeder is fully operational. However, when an endless form is used up, the signal generator reports this consumption, which can prevent the printer, for example, from writing on an empty roller. The signal generator can stop the printer as soon as the consumption of an endless form is determined.
  • the shaft of the holding device can advantageously be equipped together with the guide device as the switching contact forming the signal transmitter. Then, when the end of an endless form belt is pulled through the holding device, the shaft comes to bear against the wall of the slot in question of the guide device and thus closes the contact. In order to fulfill this contact function, the shaft can be stored in an electrically insulated manner and the wall of the slot in question can be placed at an appropriate electrical potential. But it is of course also possible that a separate insulated contact pin is provided in the wall.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a table with this printer from which it is located and arranged under its table top, cardboard boxes,
  • Fig. 2 shows a section through the guide device with holding devices arranged in the slots.
  • the table 1 shows a table with the table top 1, a support 2 and a foot 3, on the table top 1 of which the printer 4 of a data processing system, here designed in the manner of a teletype, stands.
  • the brackets 5 are arranged on the side of the support 2, on which the cartons 6 with the endless form belts 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are placed.
  • the endless form belts 7 are combined in the boxes 6 as a stack of folded endless form belts.
  • the endless form belts 7 - 12 are individual. next to the support 2, first led upwards underneath the table top 1, in such a way that its flat sides adjoin one another in parallel who are facing. In this relative position, the endless form belts 7-12 are threaded through the guide device 13 which is embedded in the table top 1 and which is provided with corresponding slots 14 for this purpose. Holding devices, not shown, are provided in the slots 14, which will be discussed in greater detail in connection with FIG. 2. Above the guiding device 13, the endless form belts 7 - 12, insofar as they are not threaded into the printer 4, are a few centimeters high, so that they are readily available at all times.
  • the endless form belt 7 is threaded into the printer, which runs through it in a known manner and is then led out again. It is deposited behind the printer 4 on the part of the table top 1 provided for this purpose. It is therefore expedient to provide a correspondingly large table top 1 for the operation under consideration.
  • the continuous form belt 7 threaded into the printer 4 is cut off along a tear-off point above the guide device 13, the rest of the endless form belt from the printer 4 removed and the endless form tape necessary for the next function, for example the endless form tape 8, pulled through the guide device 13 and threaded into the printer 4, which can then label this endless form tape.
  • the transition from one endless form tape to the other is therefore very simple and with no movement of the Cartons 8 connected, which are also housed in a space-saving manner below the table top 1 in the embodiment considered.
  • the guide device 13 is shown in section. It is inserted into the table top 1 and has the slots 14 which are separated from one another by the walls 15 are.
  • the shafts 16 are mounted on eccentric axes 17, so that due to the weight of the shafts 16 there is a tendency for the shafts 16 to contact the right-hand side of the respective slot 14 under the action of gravity .
  • the endless form bands 7 to 12 pulled through which are pressed under the effect described above by the shafts 16 against the relevant wall of the slot 14. In this way it is prevented that cut off continuous form tapes 7-12 above the guide device 13 due to their weight can slide back through the slots 14.
  • the shafts 16, which form the holding devices here allow the continuous form tapes 7 - 12 to be pulled out of the guide device upwards in the direction of the arrows, since in this case the shafts 16 stand out somewhat from the relevant walls of the slots 14.
  • the shafts 16 together with the walls 15 in question form a switching contact which is closed when a shaft 16 is in contact with the wall of the slot 14 in question.
  • the shafts 16 are mounted insulated and consist of metal, as is the guide device 13.
  • an electrical signal is then triggered, which indicates in a manner not of interest here. that the relevant continuous form tape has been used up.
  • the data processing system can be switched off immediately.
