Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manually-operated portable labelling machine to be used for applying differently-sized labels to goods and packages of different kinds.
  • Manually-operated portable labelling machines are currently known in which the mechanism for the forward movement or feeding of the ribbon from a roll substantially consists of a ratchet gear or another similar device of the step type which grasps the ribbon and, while stretching it tight, makes it move forward one step of a predetermined fixed length.
  • the labelling machines of the known type as they are provided with a fixed-step mechanism, can only apply labels of one size, which represents a great operating restriction.
  • the silicone-treated band-like support carrying the labels must be provided with notches adapted to allow the support to be entrained. Furthermore, the thickness of the band-like support must be fit for withstanding tensile stresses and this is achieved to the detriment of the number of labels carried, the rolls having identical sizes.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the known art by providing a labelling machine for applying labels of variable width and length, more particularly of unlimited length, which is of easy construction and has relatively low prices.
  • the labelling machine of the invention has been generally identified by reference numeral 1. It consists of a box-shaped body 2 provided with a handgrip 3 at the rear part thereof and carrying a roll 4 at the top, which roll consists of a ribbon formed with a series of labels 6 of a freely selected length carried by a silicone-treated band-like support 7.
  • a slot 8 Provided at the front of said box-shaped body 2 is a slot 8 through which the individual labels 6 and band-like support 7 are fed.
  • the box-shaped body 2 and the handgrip 3 associated therewith are made up of two shells arranged in a mirror image and joined to each other by spacers 9, 10 and 11. Therefore in the drawing the labelling machine 1 is shown with one of the two shells removed.
  • the ribbon 5 coming from roll 4 passes through a feed member 12 located inside the box-shaped body 2, which is driven by a lever 13 hinged at 9 and associated with the handgrip 3, the upward movement of which (carried out by exerting a manual pressure thereon) is counteracted by a spring 14.
  • the feed member 12 is comprised of a rack 15 formed on the lever 13 and meshing with one sprocket 16 meshing with a second sprocket 17 which in turn is engaged with a third sprocket 18 integral and coaxial with a capstan 19.
  • the capstan is provided with rubber rings 20 on the cylindrical surface thereof and is associated with a free wheel (not shown).
  • a second idler roller 23 Carried by the lever 13 at the front free end thereof is a second idler roller 23 which, when the lever 13 (thrusted by the spring 14) is being released, presses the ribbon 5 coming from roll 4 against the surface of the capstan 19 which during this step is at a standstill, due to the action of the free wheel associated therewith.
  • the ribbon 5 By pressing the label 6 in contact with the goods or packages and pulling the labelling machine 1 in the handgrip direction, the ribbon 5 will run towards the slot 8. During this step the capstan 19 is driven in rotation by ribbon 5 (pressed thereon by the second idler roller 23) and in turn will cause the band-like support 7 pressed thereon by the first idler roller 21, to move forward by the same length.
  • the box-shaped body 2 is provided at the lower part thereof with an openable bottom cover 24 one end of which is hinged at 10 in the boundary region between the body 2 and handgrip 3.
  • Said cover is provided with a snap-fit closing device which can be disengaged by an operating lever 25 associated with a ratchet gear 26 equipped with a spring 27 and accessible from the outside through an opening 28 in the front part of body 2.
  • the free end 29 of the bottom cover 24 defining the slot 8 at the lower part thereof is in the form of a wedge.
  • the ribbon 5 is wrapped around this end 29 so that a label 6 is allowed to detach from the band-like support 7 which, running along the lower part of the bottom cover 24, is sent back to the area between the capstan 19 and the first idler roller 21 then issuing through the rear part of the bottom cover itself.
  • a plate 30 acting as a ribbon-stretching brake is hinged in the region of the ratchet gear 26.
  • Adjacent the slot 8 the body 2 is equipped with a label-pressing idler roller 31.
  • a ribbon-centering device consisting of a pair of plate-like elements 32 disposed to the sides of the roll 4 and joined to each other at the respective ends by a pair of shafts 33 and 34 both threaded with opposite threads and carrying a knurled operative wheel 35 in the middle.
  • a guide and centering device for the band-like support 7 which is formed of a pair of movable blocks 36 having slots therein, adapted to receive the edges of the band-like support 7. Said blocks 36 can be simultaneously moved close to or away from each other because they are mounted on a threaded shaft 37 consisting of two halves having opposite threads and carrying a knurled operative wheel 38 in the middle.
  • the lever 13 When the handgrip 3 is pressed, the lever 13 is actuated against the action of the spring 14.
  • the rack 15 drives in rotation the capstan 19 through the sprockets 16, 17 and 18 (during this step the free wheel is locked) and the capstan 19, in turn, presses the band-like support 7 against the first roller 21, thus causing the forward movement of said support by a predetermined length which can be also adjusted by adjusting screws 39 acting as limit stops for the lever 13.
  • the labelling machine 1 By exerting a slight pressure the first part of the label 6 is sticked to the goods or packages, then the labelling machine 1 is pulled back in the direction of the handgrip 3 so that the whole label 6 can come out and reach the pre-cutting position.
  • the ribbon 5 moves forward by a length equal to that of the label 6 as far as it reaches the free end 29 where the detachment of labels 6 occurs.
  • the band-like support 7 which is already located between the first idler roller 21 and capstan 19, due to the rotation of the latter is compelled to move forward towards the exit by a length identical to that of the label 6 just sticked.
  • the invention attains the intended purposes.
