Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to provide a support device for a stationary label printer suitable for printing and dispensing individual labels, in which the disturbances in label dispensing known from the above prior art are avoided.
  • the support area of the support device is formed by the free surfaces in at least one retaining bar of rotatably mounted balls. Since the glued underside of the printed labels comes into contact with hardly more than one point on the surface of the balls, the adhesive forces between the surface of the balls and the underside of the label are minimal, so that this only sets the balls in rotation and hinders them Label transport is largely avoided.
  • the support device with the support area which is formed from the free surfaces of the balls rotatably mounted in a retaining strip, can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner, for example by injection molding, if the at least one retaining strip has a U-shaped cross section with a crossbar arranged has elastic U-legs, the distance from each other is smaller than the ball diameter and the opposite bores have a radius that is smaller than the ball radius, the distance between the U-legs from each other and the arrangement and the radius of the bores are chosen so that between two bores a ball is mounted such that the distance between the crosspiece and at least part of the free surfaces of the balls facing away from the crosspiece is greater than the distance between the crosspiece and the end faces of the U-legs facing away from the crosspiece.
  • Labels that lie on a support device with at least two holding strips for balls arranged in the transport direction of the labels can be easily grasped and removed from the support device.
  • Retaining strips and balls made of plastic can be produced inexpensively using the injection molding process or using a machining production process.
  • plastic balls have a much lower moment of inertia compared to conventional steel balls, which leads to a further reduction in the obstacle to label output.
  • the U-legs of a retaining strip made of plastic have such elasticity that they can be assembled simply by pressing the balls into the retaining strip from above in the area of the bores.
  • the adhesive forces between the spherical surfaces and the underside of the label coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive can be further reduced if the spheres are made of an adhesive-repellent plastic, for example polytetrafluoroethylene consist. If the retaining strips are also made of a material that, for example, polyoxymethylene, opposes the rotational movements of the balls made of polytetrafluoroethylene only a low frictional resistance, trouble-free label dispensing is guaranteed even with particularly thin and flexible labels.
  • an adhesive-repellent plastic for example polytetrafluoroethylene consist.
  • the retaining strips are also made of a material that, for example, polyoxymethylene, opposes the rotational movements of the balls made of polytetrafluoroethylene only a low frictional resistance, trouble-free label dispensing is guaranteed even with particularly thin and flexible labels.
  • a printing area 1 of a thermal printer shown in FIG. 1 has a thermal printing head 2 which is rotatably mounted on a shaft 2 'and has a straight row of individually electrically controllable heating elements 5 which are arranged transversely to the transport direction 3 of labels 4 made of temperature-sensitive paper.
  • the heating elements 5 are controlled via a connector 6 by a central control unit, not shown in FIG. 1.
  • the thermal print head 2 is pressed onto the labels 4 to be printed by means of a spring 7 under pressure.
  • a counter pressure roller 8 generates the counter pressure required here.
  • the labels 4 are fixed by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive on a carrier tape 9, which consists of paper, the side facing the labels 4 is coated with silicone. Silicone exerts a much lower adhesive force on adhesive than, for example, label paper, which ensures that the labels 4 can be easily removed from the carrier tape 9 and that the adhesive remains on the labels 4.
  • the labels 4 are detached from the carrier tape 9 in that the carrier tape 9 is guided around a shaft 10 which forms the deflection region and has a small radial diameter. Due to their rigidity, the labels 4 cannot undergo the strong bending of the carrier tape 9 caused thereby, so that the labels 4 detach from the carrier tape 9.
  • the support device 12 has on its underside an arm 17, in the end face of which a recess 18 is machined, into which the end of a projection 20 arranged on the outside of the printer housing 19 snaps when the support device 12 is installed.
  • this additionally has a hook-shaped holder 21 which engages in a further nose-shaped projection 22 and thus prevents the support device 12 from tipping forward.
  • the heating elements 5 resting on the labels 4 are individually electrically controlled in accordance with the image to be printed, so that they produce a sufficient amount of heat for discoloring the temperature-sensitive labels.
  • the print image is generated on the labels 4 like a grid point.
  • the labels 4 come to rest on their underside 13 coated with the pressure sensitive adhesive 13 on the free surfaces 15 of the balls 16 rotatably mounted on the support device 12 and thereby set them in rotation. Since the labels 4 come into contact only with a very small area of the free surfaces 15 of the balls 16, the pressure-sensitive adhesive located on the underside 13 of the labels 4 only exerts a low adhesive force between the balls 16 and the labels 4, which is indeed the Output of the labels 4 is not hindered, but nevertheless causes the labels 4 to remain on the support area 14 of the support device 12 until they are pulled off by hand.
  • FIG. 2 The sectional view of the support device 12 shown in FIG. 2 along the line II-II 'in FIG. 1 shows holding strips 23, 24 arranged on the two edges thereof for the rotatably mounted balls 16, 16'.
  • the label 4 lies on its free surfaces 15, 15 'with its underside 13 coated with the pressure sensitive adhesive. Also indicated are bores 25, 25 'in the holding strips 23, 24 which serve to hold the balls 16, 16'. (As will be explained in more detail below)
  • the arm 17, the projection 20, the two brackets 21, 21 'and the two nose-shaped projections 22, 22' are shown in plan view, which the attachment of the support device 12 to the printer housing 19 serve.
  • the retaining strip 23 with a U-shaped cross section consists of a crossbar 26 with U-legs 27, 27 'on the edges thereof.
  • the U-legs 27, 27' have mutually opposite bores 25, 25 '', the position of which in the U-legs 27 is illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • the diameter of the bores 25, 25 ', 25'' is smaller than the diameter of the balls 16.
  • the distance between the inner surface 28 of the cross piece 26 and the end faces 29, 29' the U-leg 27, 27 'be smaller than the distance between the inner surface 28 of the crossbar 26 and at least a portion 15 of the surface of the ball 16 facing away from the crossbar 26.
  • the support table 12 is made of polyoxymethylene, which has the advantage that the support table 12 can be manufactured by injection molding.
  • the balls 16 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has the properties of exerting a minimal adhesive effect with respect to pressure-sensitive adhesives and, moreover, snapped between the U-legs 27, 27 'of the holding strip 23 so as to be easily rotatable, since there are between the materials from which the support table and the balls exist, there is minimal frictional resistance.
  • Another advantage of polyoxymethylene is used in the manufacture of the holding strips 23, 24, namely to be particularly elastic. This makes it possible to press the balls 16 during assembly in the area of the bores 25, 25 ', 25' 'from above between the elastic side walls 27, 27' of the retaining strip 23 until they are in the bores 25, 25 ', 25 '' snap in.
