Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held labeling device for printing, dispensing and attaching self-adhesive labels to objects in the course of an actuation cycle, with a printing unit accommodated in a device housing with printing types for producing an imprint on a self-adhesive label located in a printing position, a transport device which the self-adhesive labels in succession into the printing position and into the position for attachment to the objects, and a inking device for inking the printing types of the printing unit before each printing operation, which contains a roller that can be rolled onto the printing types of the printing unit and is rotatably mounted in a ink roller holder, which is in rotation during the rolling the ink roller on the printing types is guided in a guideway in the housing by means of guide pins running parallel to the ink roller.
  • Such a hand labeling device is known from DE-OS 26 18 502.
  • the ink roller holder in the known device is guided in a guide path along which the guide pins on the ink roller holder move during the inking process.
  • the ink roller must be easy to replace when it is used up, and special care must be taken to ensure that the replacement can be carried out without the operator getting his fingers dirty with the printing ink that is difficult to remove .
  • a support clip that can be clamped to the paint roller holder is provided in the known device, to which the paint roller is then attached.
  • the carrier clip has two legs in the manner of a clothespin, which are connected to one another in such a way that they spread apart on the other side of the connection point by being compressed on one side of the connection point.
  • the ends of the legs on one side of the connection point carry the paint roller, while the other ends can be gripped by the operator on the front side of the device in a particular phase of the actuation cycle in order to remove the carrier clip from the device.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hand-held labeling device of the type described in such a way that a secure and stable guidance of the paint roller holder in the device is achieved without the paint roller change being made difficult or the dimensions of the device and its appearance being adversely affected.
  • the guideway has an outlet opening for the guide pins on the paint roller holder and that the device housing is provided with a flap which can be pivoted between a closed and an opened position and to which at least one attachment is attached, which is in the closed position of the flap closes the exit opening of the guideway.
  • the guideway that is closed when the device is in operation ensures safe and stable guidance of the paint roller holder.
  • the flap on the device has to be opened, whereby the exit opening of the guideway is also released at the same time, so that the guide pins can emerge from the guideway.
  • the ink roller holder can then be easily pulled out of the device by the operator and replaced by a ink roller holder provided with a new ink roller.
  • the guide pins are attached to the paint roller holder on side surfaces of a web which has two arms holding the paint roller, which lie essentially in one plane with the guide pins, the paint roller holder and the web.
  • the web serves to stiffen the paint roller holder, and it enables the operator to grip the paint roller holder in such a way that direct contact with the paint roller is reliably avoided.
  • a further embodiment is that the guide track in the device housing has such a course that the guide pins and the web connecting them emerge from the guide track when the flap is in the opened position and the guide pins in the course of their movement in the guide track the area of the outlet opening.
  • the chosen course of the guideway ensures that the guide pins and the web automatically come out of the guideway when the flap is open. The operator therefore does not have to first intervene in the device and fold out the guide pins and the web for grasping and changing the paint roller holder.
  • the hand-held labeling device shown in FIG. 1 is used to print, output and attach self-adhesive labels to articles of goods.
  • the device contains a housing 10 to which a handle 12 is attached.
  • On the top of the housing there is a holder 14 for receiving a supply roll 16 of a carrier tape 18 on which self-adhesive labels adhere.
  • the carrier tape 18 runs in the device from the supply roll 16 first downward and then towards the front of the device to a dispensing edge 20, at which the carrier tape 18 is deflected at an acute angle and is guided to the rear end of the housing by a transport device 22.
  • a pressure roller 24 is rotatably mounted in the housing, with which a label detached from the carrier tape 18 and located below the pressure roller in the dispensing position can be glued to an article of goods.
  • An operating lever 26 is mounted beneath the handle 12 and is mounted rotatably about an axis 28. Between the handle 12 and the operating lever 26 there is a spring 30 which always tries to push the operating lever into the rest position shown in FIG. 1.
  • a printing unit support 32 In the housing 10 there is also a printing unit support 32, which is also rotatably mounted about the axis 28.
  • This printing unit carrier 32 carries a printing unit 34, by means of which a self-adhesive label located on a printing table 36 can be printed.
  • a spring 40 is attached between an arm 38 of the operating lever 26 and the printing unit carrier 32 and serves to transmit a movement of the operating lever 26 directed against the handle 12 to the printing unit carrier 32. In the rest position shown in FIG. 1, the printing unit carrier 32 is held in the raised position by a contact surface 42 on the operating lever 26.
  • the printing unit 34 has printing types 44 on its surface facing the printing table 36, which can be inked before each printing operation by means of a coloring device.
  • the inking device contains a paint roller 46 which is rotatably mounted in a paint roller holder 48. Details of the paint roller holder 48 are subsequently explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • the paint roller holder 48 in turn is seated in a bracket 51 which can be pivoted about an axis 50, the structure of which is explained in connection with FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • Two guide pins 52 are attached to the paint roller holder 48 and are guided in a guide track 54.
  • the guideway that can be seen in FIG. 1 is located in the inner surface of the rear side wall of the housing 10, as seen from the viewer.
  • a similar guideway 54 is located in the front side wall of the housing 10, which is not shown in FIG. 1. Accordingly, the ink roller holder 48 also has two guide pins 52 , one of which engages in one of the two guideways 54.
  • a front flap 56 which can be pivoted forward about an axis 58 into the opened position shown in FIG. 4.
  • the axis 58 is also the axis on which the pressure roller 24 is mounted.
  • the front flap 56 is provided with an extension 60 directed towards the interior of the housing, the end face 62 of which forms part of the guide track 54.
  • the guideway 54 has an outlet opening 64 towards the front of the device, which opening 60 closes in the closed position of the front flap 56. The purpose of this outlet opening 64 will then become apparent from the description of the mode of operation of the device described.
  • a push rod 66 is attached between the operating lever 26 and the swivel bracket 51 and is biased by means of a spring 68 in the direction of a pin 70 on the operating lever 26.
  • the push rod 66 is designed as a toothed rack at the end lying in the region of the bracket 51.
  • the bracket 51 has a pinion 72 which is in engagement with the teeth of the rack end of the push rod 66. From the illustration of Figure 1 it can be seen that the bracket 51 is pivoted clockwise about the axis 50 from the rest position shown when the push rod 66 moves to the left.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show the bracket 51 carrying the paint roller holder 48 in more detail.
  • the bracket 51 has two arms 74, 76 which are connected to one another by a web 78.
  • the arms 74, 76 have two pins 80, 82 in the region of the web 78, which pins serve to mount the ink roller holder 48.
  • At the ends at the top in FIG. 5 there are bearing bushes 84, 86 on the arms 74, 76, with the aid of which the bracket 51 can be rotatably mounted on pins which are attached in the inner surfaces of the housing side walls.
  • the teeth forming the pinion 72 are attached to a part of the outer peripheral surface of the bearing bush 84.
  • the guide pins 52, 53 are attached to the ink roller holder 48 in accordance with FIG Stand arms 88 or 90 sideways.
  • the arms 88, 90 are connected by means of a web 92.
  • the ink roller 46 is held between the arms 88, 90 of the ink roller holder 48; it has two axle journals 94, 96, which are shown in broken lines in FIG. 7 and each engage in a corresponding hole 98 in the associated arm 88, 90 of the paint roller holder 48.
  • transport device 22 is constructed in detail is not important here; it is only intended to cause the carrier tape to be pulled exactly around the dispensing edge 20 by one transport step corresponding to a label width in the course of each actuation cycle of the device, so that a self-adhesive label on the printing table 36 comes into a printing position with each actuation cycle.
  • a transport device that can be used for this purpose is described for example in DE-PS 32 00 977.
  • the printing unit 34 Due to the lowering movement of the printing unit 34 connected to the printing unit carrier 32, the printing unit 34 exerts a torque on the bracket 51, which swivels the bracket 51 in a clockwise direction. In the course of this pivoting movement of the bracket 51, the ink roller 46 rolls on the printing types 44, so that they are colored. At the same time, the guide pins 52 and 53 in the guide track 54 move towards the front of the device.
  • the printing unit 34 can no longer exert any torque on the bracket 51, so that a locked state would be reached if the push rod 66 would not cause the bracket 51 to pivot further due to the engagement on the pinion 72.
  • the position in which the push rod 66 begins to move the bracket 51 further is shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 3 shows the point in time of the actuation cycle at which the printing types hit the label on the printing table 36 and produce the desired impression.
  • the guide pins 52, 53 are located at the end of the guide track 54.
  • the transport device 22 assumes its leftmost position according to FIG. 3. As soon as the operating lever 26 is released, the transport device 22 moves back to the right into the starting position shown in FIG. 1; however, during this backward movement it is firmly connected to the carrier tape 18 so that it pulls it around the dispensing edge 20. During this movement of the carrier tape 18, the self-adhesive label just printed detaches from the carrier tape and comes to a position below the pressure roller 24, in which it can be attached to an object.
  • FIG. 4 The device described is shown in FIG. 4 with the front flap open.
  • the front flap 56 must be opened when the ink roller 46 is to be replaced.
  • the front flap 56 is brought into the position shown in FIG. 4.
  • the operating lever 26 is then pulled against the handle 12 until the printing unit 34 hits the printing table 36. Since the outlet opening 64 of the guideway 54 is open when the front flap 56 is open, the guide pins 52, 53 can move out of the guideway 54 into the position shown in FIG. 4 in the course of their displacement movement through the outlet opening 64.
  • the guide pins 52, 53 automatically come out of the guide track 54 due to centrifugal forces when the operating lever 26 is tightened with the front flap 56 open and the ink roller holder 48 is moved together with the ink roller 46 at a relatively high speed.
  • the operator can grasp the web 92 of the ink roller holder 48 and the ink roller holder 48 with the one that is rotatably mounted in it Lift the paint roller 46 out of the bracket 51.
  • the paint roller holder 48 and the paint roller 46 form a complete exchange unit, so that it is not necessary to insert a new paint roller in the paint roller holder, but a new assembly of a paint roller holder and a paint roller is simply inserted into the bracket 51.
  • the ink roller holder 48 After insertion, the ink roller holder 48 is pivoted so that it assumes the position shown in FIG. 3, in which the guide pins 52, 53 lie in the guideway 54, whereupon the operating lever 26 is released, which leads to the ink roller holder 48 move the paint roller 46 back to the position of Fig. 1.
  • the front flap 56 is then closed, so that the extension 60 closes the outlet opening 64 again.
  • the guide track 54 is closed again, so that the ink roller holder 48 is again guided over the guide pins 52, 53 and is securely held in the device.
  • a guide track 54 is provided in the inner surface of each side wall of the housing 10, so that there are accordingly two outlet openings 64.
  • the front flap 56 is thus also equipped with two lugs 60, one of which closes one of the outlet openings 64.
  • the hand-held labeling device In the described design of the hand-held labeling device, it is ensured that, despite secure storage and guidance of the ink roller holder and the ink roller in the appliance and the achievement of a perfect inking of the printing types on the printing unit, the removal of a used ink roller and the insertion of a new ink roller can be carried out very easily without the risk of the operator getting his fingers dirty with the hard-to-remove ink.
