Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for printing a sheet-like base, are arranged with a rotatable about its longitudinal axis cylindrical drum, on the clamping elements, the clamping element axis lying at a melachse parallel to the T-ROM are mounted, and the drum rotates in pressure direction of rotation of the support clamp resiliently or release them when the drum rotates in the opposite direction, for which purpose the clamping elements are in engagement with control elements, and with guide means for guiding the sheet-like support on the drum.
  • a device of this type is already known from FR-PS 865 719.
  • the cam elements, as shown in FIG. 6, are raised when the drum is rotated counter to the printing direction with the aid of fingers 36 arranged on a bracket 33, so that they can either take up or release a paper-like base.
  • the bracket 33 must be made very precisely to ensure that all fingers 36 abut the lever edges of the cam members 23 at the same time when the paper is to be released.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for printing a sheet-like base, which has a much simpler structure than the known devices and is therefore inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the drum for receiving the base has at least one circumferentially extending slot into which one end of the clamping elements can be inserted, and that for controlling the clamping elements with their end facing away from the slot in the circumference engage a disc rotatable on the drum axis and relative to the drum, which carries on its outside a circumferential first stop element, which cooperates resiliently with a second stop element arranged on the housing of the device such that when the drum rotates in the direction of pressure rotation, both stop elements slide over one another and block the rotation of the disc when the drum rotates in the opposite direction, tensioning a tension spring arranged between the disc and the drum.
  • the drum preferably has a slot in its interior which extends over the entire length of the drum.
  • the drum is rotated counter to the normal direction of printing when printing on a sheet or a template until the slot is opposite the sheet or sheet edge brought to the drum by the transport device (basic position).
  • the clamping elements provided for holding the sheet do not protrude into the slot, so that the sheet by means of a Transport device can be pushed into the slot. If the direction of rotation of the drum is subsequently reversed, that is to say it runs in the direction of pressure rotation, the clamping elements are released and engage again in the slot. They press the sheet in the slot against the opposite wall of the slot and block it in this way.
  • the drum is first rotated in the direction of printing rotation until the drum has almost - but not quite - reached its basic position. Then the drum is turned in the opposite direction to the basic position. The sheet unwinds from the drum so that it can be caught by paper pull-out rollers. Once the basic position of the drum has been reached, the clamping elements recede and the sheet can be pulled out of the slot and transported to a tray by means of the paper pull-out rollers, which are then set in rotation. A new sheet can then be inserted into the free slot already available. Then the process described begins again.
  • the stopper elements are designed or arranged so that when the drum rotates in the direction of pressure rotation, both stopper elements slide over one another.
  • the stopper element located on the disk can be designed to be axially resilient, for example.
  • both stopper elements run against each other in such a way that they and thus the entire disc are blocked.
  • a tension spring arranged between the disk and the drum is tensioned, so that when the drum rotates in the direction of pressure rotation, the clamping elements are pressed back into the slot by this spring force.
  • Both the clamping elements and the disc or the stopper are very simple construction elements that are easy and inexpensive to manufacture and allow an inexpensive construction of the device mentioned.
  • the clamping elements and the disks are preferably arranged on both end faces of the drum. This allows a very simple assembly of the disks or the clamping elements on the drum.
  • a clamping rail which takes the place of individual clamping elements and which extends over the entire length of the slot. This ensures that a sheet to be printed is held uniformly and over the entire clamped length in the slot.
  • baffles which at least partially surround the drum like a cylinder jacket are provided as guide means.
  • the clamped sheet then runs between this casing and the drum. Where the sheet is caught by the drum or released by it is, and at the point where the sheet is printed, there are of course slot-shaped openings in the cover, which extend for example over the entire length of the drum.
  • a sheet 3 to be printed for example a paper form, is arranged on the surface of the drum 1, the extent of which in the direction of the longitudinal axis 2 corresponds almost to the extent of the drum and in the circumferential direction of the drum almost corresponds to the circumference of the drum 1.
  • a print head 4 with, for example, only one printing needle 5 is provided, which is arranged on a slide 6, which is guided with the aid of a guide rod 7 running parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 and is displaced with a rotatable spindle 8 running parallel to it can.
  • the drum 1 rotates in the printing rotation direction 9.
  • a certain one Print area 10 which, for example, defines the size of a title block, is swept by print head 4.
  • the drum 1 has a slot 11, which extends over its entire length and lies inside and parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 and which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2 at least approximately in the drum circumferential direction.
  • the sheet 3 is inserted with its upper edge.
  • the slot runs at such an inclination into the interior of the drum 1 that the sheet 3 is prevented from buckling in the upper region.
  • the sheet 3 is held in the slot 11 with the aid of clamping elements 12 which are arranged on both end faces of the drum 1 and are rotatable about a clamping element axis 13 which is fixedly connected to the drum 1 and runs parallel to the longitudinal axis 2.
  • the clamping element ends 12a engage in the position shown in Fig. 1 in the slot 11 and thus hold the sheet 3 in it.
  • the clamping elements 12 are pressed by means of the force of a tension spring 14 against the leaf 3, which is clamped between two bolts 15 and 16.
  • the spring force is transmitted to the clamping elements 12 with the aid of a disk 17 which is arranged on the longitudinal axis 2 and rotatable relative to the drum 1 and which, with its end facing away from the slot 11, engages in the periphery of the disk 17 or in a corresponding radial groove 17a, which is slightly larger than the relevant clamping element end.
  • the bolt 16 is fixed to the disc 17 and the bolt 15 through an opening 18 in the disc 17 through to the drum 1, so that the force of the spring 14 acts on the clamping elements 12 via the disc 17.
  • first stop element 19 On the disc 17 there is also a first stop element 19 which rotates with the disc 17 and is arranged resiliently in the direction of the axis 2. It is his Face beveled and is in engagement with a corresponding second stopper element (20 in Fig. 2), which is fixedly arranged on the housing of the device.
  • This second stopper member 20 is chamfered 1 facing end side as the first stopper member 19 at its the drum, but relative thereto rotated 180 0th Therefore, if the drum 1 is moved in the direction of pressure rotation 9, nothing changes in the clamping state of the sheet 3.
  • the second stop element 20 arranged on the housing in the region of the first stop element 19 is only swept by the first stop element 19 and does not hinder the drum movement.
  • the second stop element 20 Each time the second stop element 20 is swept by the first stop element 19, the latter only springs back axially into its starting position.
  • the clamping elements 12 thus hold the sheet 3 in the slot 11, so that it is carried by the drum 1 in the direction of arrow 9 during the drum movement.
  • the second stop element 20 can be resilient and the first fixed.
  • the clamping elements 12 can also have a tip, e.g. made of metal, so that the sheet 3 is held even better.
  • the tip can e.g. that of a pin that penetrates the clamping element 12.
  • the clamping elements 12 thus serve to stop the drum 1 when the disc 17 is already stationary. This task can also be performed by the bolt 15 and the opening 18. This prevents the clamping elements 12 from striking too hard against the edge of the groove 17a when the disk 17 is already blocked and only then causing the drum 1 to be blocked.
  • the bolt 15 also serves to axially secure the washer 17, since it is provided with a head which projects beyond the slot width of the opening 18.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial axial section of the cylindrical drum according to FIG. 1. The section runs both through the clamping elements and through the stopper elements.
  • the clamping element 12 1 is angled in the direction of the cylinder axis 2 for better clamping of the sheet-shaped base 3. It is firmly connected to the drum body 1 by means of a screw 13a, about which it can move freely. On the other hand, it engages with its end facing away from the slot 11 into the already mentioned groove 17a of the control disk 17. With this control disc 17, the first stop element 19 is fixedly connected, which is spring-mounted in the direction of the cylinder axis 2. For this purpose, a compression spring 19a is provided, which is supported on the one hand by a rear recess 19b in the control disk 17 and on the other hand by the drum body 1.
  • the second stop element 20 is firmly connected to a housing part 20a of the printer. Both stop elements 19 and 20 have bevels which face each other and are inclined so that the stop elements 19, 20 slide over one another when the drum 1 rotates in the direction of pressure rotation, for example by pressing the stop element 19 axially inwards. When the drum 1 rotates counter to the direction of pressure rotation, these stopper elements run against each other and block the further movement of the control disk 17.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of another drum of a printer according to the invention.
  • This drum 1 has at its two ends a control disk 17, only one of which is shown.
  • a clamping rail 12b with a U-shaped profile is arranged, into which the clamping elements 12" engage.
  • the clamping rail 12b is shown in more detail in FIG. 4. It is arranged in its entire length inside the drum 1 and has resilient tabs 12c which, when the drum 1 rotates in the direction of printing rotation, press a sheet-shaped support to be printed against the wall of the slot 11 located inside the drum 1.
  • the resilient tabs 12c can be evenly distributed over the length of the clamping rail 12b.
  • the clamping elements 12 ′′ are provided, for example, with expanding mandrels 12d which are designed to be attached to the drum 1 in a suitable manner Hole can be inserted on the drum face. For example, this hole can be made in an additional plate which is firmly attached to the drum face.
  • the drum 1 in the basic position can be easily loaded with sheet-like material. 5, which practically shows a side view of the device according to the invention.
  • the drum 1 shown there is in the basic position, i.e. the slot 11 is positioned such that a sheet 3 guided from a magazine M by means of a sheet feed roller 22 (transport device) and via a guide plate 23 can be inserted directly into the slot 11.
  • the clamping elements 12 are, as already mentioned, pivoted out of the slot 11.
  • the sheet 3 can thus be pushed directly into the slot 11 in the drum position shown in FIG. 2, which is also done with the help of the sheet feed roller 22. If the drum 1 is then rotated in the direction of pressure rotation 9, the clamping elements 12, as already described under FIG. 1, engage in the slot 11 and hold the sheet 3 firmly, so that it is wound around the drum 1.
  • guide plates 1a, ia ⁇ can be provided (guide plates) which extend around the drum 1 in the shape of a cylinder jacket. Only in the area of the sheet feeder and in the printing area are slit-shaped openings provided, the length of which corresponds to the drum length.
  • the sheet 3 can also be used in other ways, e.g. by rollers distributed over the circumference of the drum.
  • the drum 1 When the sheet 3 is ejected, the sheet width of which corresponds, for example, to the circumferential length of the drum 1, the drum 1 is still rotated in the direction of rotation 9 to almost the basic position after the end of printing. The result of this is that the end of the sheet, that is to say the end edge opposite the clamped sheet edge, again comes to lie in the region of the slot-shaped opening for inserting the sheet between the guide plates 1 a, 1 a 1 . Also, the first S is then topperelement 19 is still not blocked by the second stopper member 20, so that then the drum 1 can be rotated in the opposite to the printing direction of rotation 9 in the direction to the home position (blocking of the first stopper member 19 by the second stopper member 20). In this position, the clamping elements 12 then release the sheet 3.
  • Both the movements of the drum 1 and the print head 4 and the movements of the sheet feed or sheet extraction rollers can be carried out with the aid of a motor 29.
  • the sequence of movements can be controlled via suitable mechanical and / or electrical switching devices.
  • the invention relates to all printers with a rotating drum 1 and is not limited to the needle head printer described in the exemplary embodiment.
