Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing tape, preferably made of rubber or synthetic rubber, in particular for price labeling devices, which is endless and has visually readable characters or numbers on one side of the strand and the same printable characters or numbers arranged on the opposite side of the strand, below of the readable characters or digits are inwardly protruding cams for feeding the printing tape, while the inside of the printing tape is smooth in the area of the printable characters or digits, and preferably recesses engaging from outside to inside between adjacent digits or characters for targeted tape weakening are provided.
  • Such printing tapes are primarily used in price labeling devices, where quick convertibility and precise printing are important.
  • the user places a visually readable character, preferably a number, at a corresponding point of view. This then also corresponds to the printing position of the corresponding mirror image on the other ribbon strand.
  • a visually readable character preferably a number
  • the cams located below the readable characters mean an accumulation of material of the material of the printing tape, which is not present in the second run with the printable characters. Since, in order to achieve efficient production, the individual endless printing tapes, each of which has individual printable characters lying one behind the other on an area of its outer surface, are cut off by suitably shaped tubes with several parallel rows of characters, the material after the manufacture of these tubes depending on the accumulation of the material but if it shrinks more or less, there is a risk that, in the case of a plurality of tapes which are of course to be cut off by automatic cutters, summation errors will occur because of the different shrinkage, so that the last cut tapes become rejects because the digits are cut.
  • the individual printing tapes are very narrow and must have a high dimensional accuracy with small tolerances, so that several such printing tapes can be arranged next to one another and movable relative to one another within a price marking device and can nevertheless, for example, print optoelectronically readable labels.
  • the depth of the recess relative to the inside of the band between the cams could be reduced by the thickness of the reinforcing threads and the reinforcing threads could thus be embedded in the band material.
  • the reinforcing threads with their cross section partially over at least one of the interfaces - at the deepest point of the recess and / or the inside of the band protrude between the cams and are preferably covered with rubber or similar material in their protruding area.
  • practically the middle of the reinforcement threads forms the level up to which the recess can extend into the depth of the band.
  • the reinforcing threads on the endless belt can circulate in its direction of extension.
  • the partially protruding reinforcing threads can form a groove structure oriented in the longitudinal direction.
  • the recesses in the area of the transport cams actually extend to the level of the inside of the band between the cams or possibly even a little more if more than half of the reinforcing threads appear within the recesses.
  • the recesses are led downward to their deepest point along the contours of this character running in the central region of a character or a number.
  • the raised sign therefore has its greatest height in the area of the recess. This saves the largest possible amount of material in the area of this symbol and thus the transport cam located on the inside at this point.
  • a groove results from their transverse direction in the area of the characters, from which these characters or digits protrude upwards.
  • An expedient variant in the case of punctiform or line-shaped printing characters may consist in the fact that supporting webs extending in the longitudinal direction of the tape are arranged within the recess for such a character, which would completely enclose it, in order to secure such delicate characters against lateral pivoting or tilting.
  • the recesses in the area of the readable digits can be open at the top and on the side edge of the band. Furthermore, it is possible that the recesses even within cavities of closed print characters, such as. B. a zero, an eight, a D or the like. Are provided. A corresponding reduction in material is thus achieved not only on the outer but also on the inner contour of the characters by providing the recess or recess.
  • the dimension of the recess provided in the longitudinal or circumferential direction of the printing tape can be smaller than the dimension of the respective character in this direction and in the case of a point provided for a character - for example a point to distinguish the number 6 from the number 9 - this point can preferably be arranged outside the recess approximately at the edge thereof.
  • a point provided for a character - for example a point to distinguish the number 6 from the number 9 - this point can preferably be arranged outside the recess approximately at the edge thereof.
  • An endless printing tape generally designated 1, in particular made of rubber or synthetic rubber, has a strand 2, on the outside of which, as shown in FIG. 3, visually readable characters or numbers 3 are attached.
  • the printing tape 1 also has an opposite strand 4, on which the printable characters 5 according to FIG. 2 are arranged in mirror image and raised.
  • FIGS. 1 and 5 it can be seen that below the readable characters 3, which also protrude, are arranged on the inside of the belt 1 or its run 3 inwardly projecting cams 6, which act on a feed drive for the printing belt 1 can.
  • the inner side 7 of the other run 4 in the area of the printable characters 5 is, according to FIGS. 1 and 4, essentially smooth or flat insofar as the band 1 is not bent when it is used and actuated.
  • Recesses 8 are provided between adjacent characters 3 and 5 for targeted weakening of the tape, which serve as hinges during the movement and deformation of the printing tape 1 when it is adjusted.
  • a “2” is shown as a readable symbol, which reaches a corresponding web height in its central region due to the recess 9. This can also be the case with closed characters such as B. a zero, an eight, a D or the like. Also be provided in their inner contour to save material.
  • the dimension provided in the longitudinal or circumferential direction of the printing tape 1 of the slightly conically widening recess is smaller than the dimension of the character 3 oriented in this direction, so that its two ends according to FIG. 5 have a smaller web height, so that overall gives a sufficiently stable sign.
  • the printing tape 1 is provided with reinforcing threads 14 running continuously in its longitudinal direction. These must not and should not be interrupted by the recess 9 or displaced from their direction. They therefore run on the one hand between the cams 6 approximately in the area of the surface of the inside of the band 11 and on the other hand in the area of the deepest point 10 of the recesses 9, which surfaces or planes roughly correspond according to the invention.
  • the depth of the recesses 9 could be reduced by the thickness of the reinforcing threads 14 between the cams 6 and the reinforcing threads 14 could be embedded in the strip material in relation to the inside 11 of the strip 1.
  • the reinforcing threads 14 with their cross section partially over at least one of the interfaces - at the deepest point 10 of the recess 9 and / or the inside 11 .
  • of the band 1 protrude between the cams 6 and are preferably covered in their protruding area with rubber or the like. Material of the band 1.
  • the partially protruding threads 14 then form a groove structure oriented in the longitudinal direction, which is visible on the one hand on the inside 11 of the band 1 between the cams 6 and on the other hand on the bottom of the recess 9. This measure realizes that the recesses 9 can actually extend to the level of the inside 11 of the strand 3 without the reinforcement threads 14 being impaired in their course and in their effectiveness.
  • both runs 2 and 4 have the same or approximately the same shrinkage dimensions when the band is made of rubber, synthetic rubber or the like.
  • Material so that the endless belt 1 can be easily made of relatively wide tubular blanks can be made, from which it can be separated by appropriate cross-sections. Even with a larger number of tapes 1 arranged next to one another on this blank with a small spacing, the cuts can be repeated precisely between the rows of characters 3 and 5, since the two runs 2 and 4 also have their correct position relative to one another after the shrinkage due to the same shrinkage maintain each other.
