Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing device. a paper ribbon and cutting the ribbon into printed tickets, more precisely for printers of the type comprising an elastically carried thermal print head by the chassis, a ribbon drive roller called capstan carried by the cover and parallel to the axis of articulation, the print head cooperating in service with the roller by pressing on a generator of the latter.
  • the opening devices there is a chassis and a cover, one carrying the print head and the other the capstan which therefore can be discarded one of the other to place the beginning of the ribbon between them without having use of means of introduction and conduct of this end.
  • a cutting device which can be static (cutting by pulling on the ticket) or motorized.
  • the motorized cutting device can be opened with a blade carried by the cover and a blade carried by the chassis (generally the motorized blade) or can be non-opening.
  • Static cutting devices are subject to random operation due to the intervention of the user who exercises traction more or less correctly required to detach the ticket.
  • the opening motorized cutting devices are mechanically complex and prone to frequent breakdowns taking into account the play existing between the two blades by the very fact of their possible separation.
  • non-opening cutting devices include generally means for guiding the paper upstream cutting blades that form a tunnel making it inconvenient the placement of the end of the ribbon at each change roll.
  • the present invention is a remedy for the drawbacks of all known devices, thanks to a opening printer structure and device structure non-opening cutting whose access is simplified.
  • the invention relates to a device printing a paper ribbon and cutting the ribbon in printed tickets, comprising a frame with a cover articulated on the chassis, a printer with a head thermal printing carried elastically by the chassis cooperating in service by pressing on a generator of a ribbon drive roller rotatably mounted on the cover, a cutting device downstream from the head printing in the direction of the ribbon comprising a fixed blade whose wire is parallel to the axis of the drive roller and a knife movable along the wire of the fixed blade, and means for guiding the ribbon between the printer and the cutting device, characterized in that these guide means are formed by two walls substantially parallel to the axis of the roller, one carried by the cover downstream of the roller and the other carried by the frame upstream of the fixed blade wire so as to impose a double inflection to the portion of ribbon between printer and fixed blade wire.
  • the cutting line consists by a downstream edge of the fixed wall.
  • the movable knife is then advantageously carried by a movable carriage parallel to the fixed blade wire, and the fixed blade is longer than the width of the ribbon of paper, so that the protruding part beyond the ribbon forms a waiting area for the movable knife.
  • the mobile carriage is advantageously actuated by a auger extending parallel to the edge of the blade fixed.
  • a device comprises a fixed frame 1 on which is articulated a movable chassis part forming cover 2.
  • This cover 2 closes a compartment 9 to accommodate a roll of paper tape 11.
  • the device according to the invention is equipped with a general reference printer 3, comprising a roller drive 4 of the paper, this roller being rotatably mounted around an axis 5 on the cover 2.
  • this drive roller 4 cooperates with a pivotally mounted thermal print head 6 on the fixed frame 1 around an axis 7, against a spring 8 bearing on the fixed frame 1, and exerting a bearing force of the print head 6 on the drive roller 4.
  • the paper 11 is driven by the rotation of the roller drive 4 in the direction indicated by The arrow, and is printed as it passes under the head 6.
  • the drive roller 4 is driven in rotation by a motor carried by the fixed chassis 1, not visible in the figures.
  • the link between this engine and the drive roller 4 is for example obtained by the meshing of a first pinion carried by the motor shaft and a second pinion carried by the roller drive 4 at the end of the axis, the engagement being carried out when cover 2 is closed.
  • the paper 11 is deflected by a deflecting wall 12 integral with the cover 2, folding the paper 11 towards a reference cutting means general 14.
  • This deflecting wall 12 imposes a first inflection to the paper tape 11 at the exit of the printer 3.
  • the ribbon is thus deflected towards a second deflecting wall 13 fixed, integral with chassis 1, which requires a second inflection to the paper tape 11 just upstream of the cutting means 14.
  • This cutting means 14 is carried by the fixed frame 1 and consists on the one hand of a fixed blade 15, which, in the embodiment shown here is formed by the wall fixed 13 itself, including the downstream edge (upper on the figure) forms a cutting wire 16 parallel to the axis 5 of rotation of the drive roller 4.
  • This cutting means 14 further comprises a carriage 17 mounted movable in translation in the direction of wire 16 of the blade 15 on the fixed frame 1.
  • This carriage 17 is actuated by an endless screw 18, itself actuated by a motor not shown.
  • This carriage 17 carries a movable knife 19 having here the shape of a disc, this knife 19 being rotatably mounted mad along an axis 20 substantially perpendicular to the wire 16 of the fixed blade 15.
  • a spring 22 arranged along the axis 20 presses the movable knife 19 on the wire 16 of the fixed blade 15, so that the wires of the two blades are always in contact.
  • the stroke of the carriage 17 (and therefore the length of the auger 18) is provided larger than the width of the paper tape 11 so as to spare on the fixed frame 1 a waiting location 23 to receive the carriage 17 when it is brought back to the start of the race after an operation for cutting a ticket.
  • the fixed blade 15 is also provided of sufficient length to guarantee maintenance in contact with the wires of the fixed blade 15 and the knife mobile 19 over the entire path of the carriage 17, including when the carriage 17 is positioned in the location 23.
  • the permanent contact between the two wires eliminates the knocking of the moving knife on the blade fixed, and therefore the risk of deterioration of the wires blade.
  • This waiting location 23 allows on the one hand to completely clear the useful part of wire 16 from the blade fixed 15, which facilitates the positioning of the paper 11 during a change of roller (just put the roll, pull the ribbon leader and close the cover 2). This waiting location 23 also allows to clear the passage of the drive roller 4 during opening the cover 2 to avoid any interference.
  • the limit of the volume swept by the cover 2 during its opening is schematically represented by lines dotted on the figure.
  • the double inflection allows on the one hand to stiffen the paper before it passes through such a cutting means 14, the making it able to withstand the lateral cutting forces imposed by said cutting means 14 during the translation of the movable knife 19 along the wire 16 of the fixed blade 15.
  • This effort has a component parallel to wire 16 in the direction of the translation of the movable knife 19, and the stiffening of the paper imposed by the double inflection prevents that the paper does not fold or crease under the effect of this force component parallel to wire 16 when the knife passes mobile 19.
  • the two deflector walls allow on the other hand to arrange the cutting means 14 in a position away from cover 2, so that it can be open or closed without interfering with the cutting means 14.
  • This arrangement of deflecting walls according to the invention finds an interesting application in particular in the devices in which the printer 3 is arranged so that the elastic support force of the head 6 on the drive roller 4 opposes the opening of the cover 2. Since this arrangement has the effect of giving the paper tape 11 a direction downstream of the printer 3 moving the ribbon 11 away from the means of section 14, the deflecting wall 12 then has the function additional to deflect the path of the paper tape 11 to the output of the printer 3 towards the cutting means 14. It will be noted with regard to these printers that the angle of deflection imposed on the paper by the wall 12 is relatively important, which has the effect of generating an important reaction paper due to his nervousness. This reaction is advantageous because it promotes the support of the tape on the wall 12 (which can be profiled), therefore the guiding thereof, and therefore the precision of the imposed path.
  • the carriage can be maneuvered by any equivalent means, for example of the cable type.
  • the process from the cart to the waiting location can be automatic when opening the cover 2.
  • the blade 19 can be provided integral in rotation of the pressing ring 21, all of which can be driven rotation with or without sliding with respect to the fixed blade 15.
  • the blade 19 can be fixedly mounted on the carriage 17, and may not be circular.
