Definitions

  • the invention relates to a presentation device for presenting a label, in particular for a printer, such as a thermal printer.
  • a printer may be fed with a print material wound on a roll. These printers can be used, for example, for printing on parking tickets or receipts.
  • the printer next to a printing unit, which prints the printed material, a cutting unit and a presentation device.
  • the cutting unit separates a printed piece of the printing material from the remaining printing material, thereby producing a label from the piece.
  • the presenter presents the label to a user and gives it to the user.
  • a position of the label should be checked by the presenter after separation until it is accepted by the user.
  • a collecting area can be provided as a presentation device, in which the separated label falls into it.
  • this is space-consuming, since, for example, a hand or a device must reach into the collecting area, moreover, a fall direction is very difficult to control and it can form a label jam when the labels jam in the collecting area.
  • the cutting unit does not completely separate the label from the printing material, but only partially.
  • the partially separated label remains attached to the printing material, and the user can autonomously tear off and accept the label.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved presentation device for presenting labels.
  • the presentation device for presenting a label has a first presentation role, which is contacted in operation from a first side of the label, a second presentation role, which is arranged axially adjacent to the first refsentierrolle axis parallel to the first refsentierrolle and at the same time from the other side of the label in the Operation is contacted at a contact point and with the first presentation role sets a label feed direction, which runs along a first common tangent plane of the two procursentierrollen, a label holder which is spaced in the label feed direction of the first presentation role and additionally offset from the first tangent plane away from the second recupersentierrolle is arranged, a first housing member, in which the first presenter role and the label holder are fixed, which is pivotable about an axis of rotation and which is a the second presenter roll kearing Ku having a lissenlager, the one pivot axis facing away from the first link edge, a second link edge, which is arranged V-shaped to
  • a printer according to the invention has the presentation device according to the invention.
  • the printer may be a thermal printer.
  • the printer has the presenter device according to the invention.
  • the first presenter roll and the second presenter roll by respectively contacting the label during operation of the presenter, guide the label through the presenter and issue it to the user.
  • the label is guided along the label feed direction, which is defined by the first common tangent plane of the first presentation roll and the second presentation roll.
  • the label feed direction is thus substantially identical for each of the labels, even with different label lengths. This facilitates acceptance of the label by the user. Also, this allows a label dispensing position where the label is received by the user to be easily determined for the labels of different lengths.
  • the label holder is used so that the label, if it cambers or kinks by its own weight, is supported.
  • the labels can be made of paper or paper-like material, which makes the label relatively flexible. The label can therefore bend or lower during operation in the direction of gravity. Due to the fact that the label holder supports the label, the label dispensing position remains substantially identical even with different label lengths. This facilitates the acceptance of the label by the user.
  • the fact that the label holder offset from the first tangent plane away from the second presenter roll, ensures that the label holder does not obstruct a transport path along the label feed direction, but only contacts the label once it has lowered slightly. As a result, a reliability of the presenter is increased and reduces a Etikettenstaurisiko.
  • the first housing component which defines the first presentation roller and the label holder, can be pivoted about the axis of rotation
  • the first housing component can assume at least two positions, namely an operating position and a maintenance position.
  • the operating position the first housing component is set up to transport the labels, present them and output them to the user.
  • the maintenance position the first housing member is pivoted relative to the operating state about the axis of rotation, whereby an access to the printer or to the presenter is exposed. Maintenance of the printer or the presentation device is facilitated. It is conceivable that the printer with the presentation device is in continuous operation, which is why, for example, a new printing material has to be reloaded relatively often.
  • the new print material must be relocated through all the relevant components of the printer, including the presentation device.
  • the pivoted to the maintenance position first housing member facilitates access to the presenter and to the printer, whereby the exchange of the printed material is facilitated and the printed material can be performed time-saving along the components. If the printed material is exchanged, the first housing component can be relatively easily swung back into the operating state and the printer can be put back into operation with the presentation device.
  • the individual components of the presentation device such as the first presenter role or the label holder in the maintenance position are easily interchangeable.
  • the first housing component has a second roller bearing bearing backdrop bearing, all the label leading components of the presenter are determined by means of the first housing component. This facilitates handling of the presentation device.
  • the first presenter roll can be rotatably mounted on the first housing component.
  • the second presentation role can be rotatably mounted in the gate bearing of the first housing component.
  • the second presentation role can move along the backdrop flanks of the slide bearing and in between.
  • the slide bearing allows a translational movement of the second recupertierrolle along the backdrop flanks and in between.
  • a possible difference in thickness of the label or warping of the label can be compensated for by the movement of the second presenter role, and at the same time the first presenter role and the second presenter role continue to contact the label.
  • a biasing mechanism for example comprising a spring, or another mechanism may be used.
  • the second link edge is inclined starting from the second transition to the second plane, a movement which is directed to the second link edge, inhibited the second refsentierrolle.
  • the label which is lowered onto the label holder and whose center of gravity lies in the feed direction after the label holder, exerts a leverage, the fulcrum of which is arranged on the label holder, on the second presenter roll due to the rigidity of the label.
  • This leverage is directed to the second link edge, whereby the resulting from the leverage force movement of the second refsentierrolle is inhibited.
  • the label may be separated from the presenter and she does not slip. Even if the label is relatively long, it will be held by the presenter until the user picks it up.
  • the second link edge thus allows an advantageous holding the label even with different lengths of the label.
  • the contact point is that area on the second presentation roll that is contacted by the second side of the label in operation.
  • the contact point is thus preferably linear, or a line contact. It is also conceivable that the contact point is made up of several areas on the second presentation roller, which are contacted by the second side of the label during operation.
  • the pad may also be reduced to a plurality of dot-shaped areas contacted by the second side of the label during operation.
  • the third plane may span from the line contact with the label holder or span through the areas on the second presentation roll contacted by the second side of the label during operation with the label holder or through the dot-like areas on the second presentation roll that originates from the second side of the label are contacted in operation, with the label holder clamp.
  • the label holder may be formed, for example, by a strip which in operation is contacted by the label by a stop which in operation is contacted by the label or by another component which in operation is contacted by the label.
  • the tag holder is that area on the ledge, stopper, or other component contacted by the label during operation.
  • the area may be, for example, flat, linear or punctiform.
  • first slotted edge extends essentially along the second tangent plane, it is possible for the second presentation roller to remain non-pivoted, while the first housing component can be pivoted with the first presentation roller and the first roller Label holder is pivoted from the operating position to the maintenance position.
  • the second presentation role can slide during pivoting on the first link edge without substantially changing their position.
  • the second presenter roll can be held during the pivoting of the first housing component by means of an additional component or by the user.
  • the first slotted edge thus allows the advantageous pivoting of the first housing component while maintaining the position of the second Resentierrolle. As a result, the maintenance and handling of the presenter are facilitated.
  • the first gate flank extends from the first transition within a gate flank region that extends from a plane rotated plus 25 degrees with respect to the second tangent plane about the second tangent plane and first plane intersecting axes another plane, which is rotated by minus 25 degrees with respect to the second tangent plane about the axis of intersection of the second tangent plane and the first plane.
  • the shape of the first slotted edge can be flat or curved, for example, or a combination thereof.
  • the gate flank region may also be formed by two planes parallel to the second tangent plane, one of which is spaced from the second tangent plane by plus 10 millimeters, and the other of which is spaced from the second tangent plane by minus 10 millimeters.
  • the slotted bearing thus realizes that the movement of the second presentation roll for thickness compensation of the label is made possible that the resulting from the leverage force movement of the second presenter is inhibited and that the maintenance of the presenter is facilitated.
  • the presentation of the label, the issuing of the label and the maintenance of the presenter is characterized by the pivotable first housing member, the design of the sliding block bearing in combination with the arrangement of the first presenter role, the second presenter role and the Label holder greatly facilitated.
  • the presentation device according to the invention thus considerably improves the presentation and the dispensing of the label.
  • the presenter comprises a second housing member that is fixed non-pivotably about the axis of rotation and that includes the second presenter roll at a distance that extends from the second housing member to the second presenter roll.
  • the distance may vary along the second housing component.
  • the second housing component may, for example, be arranged on a different area on the printer than the axis of rotation of the first housing component.
  • the pivoting of the first housing component is not impaired by the second housing component.
  • the second housing member may include a protrusion that includes the second presenter roll with the distance extending from the protrusion to the second presenter roll. It is also conceivable that the second housing component has a recess in which the second refsentierrolle is arranged.
  • the distance between the second housing member and the second presenting roller should be chosen such that a desired movement, which is made possible by the first link flank and the second link flank, the second recupersentierrolle is not affected but at the same time the second recupersentierrolle is held during pivoting of the first housing component and thus not mitverschwenkt.
  • the second housing component can thus facilitate the handling and maintenance of the presenter.
  • the first side of the label contacted during operation of the presentation device has an adhesion layer.
  • the adhesion layer serves to allow the label received by the presentation device to be glued directly onto a device by the user.
  • the label with the adhesion layer can be glued directly onto a product to be labeled.
  • the adhesion layer can contact components, whereby the printed material or the label can stick to the components.
  • the printing material having the adhesive layer may be a so-called "linerless printing material" or "linerless paper".
  • the label or the printing material has the adhesion layer on the first side, in operation it contacts the first presentation roll and the label holder of the presentation device.
  • the label has the adhesion layer on the second side.
  • the label holder preferably has a third presentation roller which contacts the label during operation. It is also conceivable that the label holder is formed by the third presentation role.
  • the third presentation role may be configured, for example, similar to the second presentation role or to the first presentation role.
  • the third presenter roll can be rotatably mounted on the first housing component.
  • Scraping on the label holder during operation can easily lead to sticking or unwanted adhesion accumulations in the label with the adhesive layer. This can be reduced or avoided by the third presentation role.
  • the operation the presentation device is thus also improved in the case of the label which has the adhesion layer. It is conceivable that the presentation device has no drive unit which is set up to rotate the first presentation roll, and / or to rotate the second presentation roll, and / or to rotate the third presentation roll.
  • the advancing movement of the label or the printing material in operation can be realized by other components of the printer such as a pressure roller.
  • the first presenting roller has a first shaft on which a plurality of first rings are arranged at a distance from one another and / or the second presenting roller has a second shaft, on which a plurality of second rings are arranged at a distance from each other and / or the third presenting roller has a third shaft on which a plurality of third rings are arranged at a distance from each other, wherein in operation the rings contact the label.
  • the shafts in the first housing member are rotatably fixed and the respective rings are fixedly connected to the respective shafts.
  • the rings can also be arranged rotatably on the respective shafts. The distance between the respective rings on the respective shafts to each other can also vary.
  • a contact between the label and the presentation rolls during operation can extend over the entire length of the presentation rolls. This large-area contact can lead to unwanted bonding especially in the case of the labels which have the adhesion layer. A reduction of contact can counteract this problem. Characterized in that the rings are arranged at a distance from each other on the respective shafts and contact the rings during operation of the label, the contact along the respective Resentierrollen is interrupted and thereby reduced. The presentation and dispensing of the label by the presenter can thereby be facilitated and improved.
  • At least one of the rings in a plane in which its axis of rotation lies, an outwardly curved cross-section. Due to the fact that at least one of the rings has the convex cross section, point contact occurs between the label and the ring during operation. As a result, the contact is reduced to the point contact.
  • the presentation and dispensing of the label by the presentation device, in particular when the label has the adhesion layer, are thereby further facilitated and improved.
  • the first rings to the second rings on the respective shafts offset from each other and / or arranged the first rings are offset from each other to the third rings on the respective shafts and / or the second rings are offset from the third rings on the respective shafts arranged to each other.
  • the staggered arrangement can reduce a space required for the individual presentation roles, since these can be partially arranged one inside the other.
  • the presenter can be made more compact.
  • the respective distance between the rings can be adjusted so that the advancing movement of the label is liquid in operation, whereby the presentation and the output of the label are improved.
  • the tags can be prevented from unrolling with the first rings because the third rings constitute a structural barrier. The operational safety is thereby increased.
  • At least one of the first rings and / or at least one of the second rings and / or at least one of the third rings has an anti-adhesive surface which contacts the label during operation.
  • all rings have the non-stick surface.
  • the non-stick surface can reduce the adhesion of the rings to the label.
  • an advantageous presentation and output are ensured even in continuous operation.
  • cleaning of the coated surface is facilitated as compared to an uncoated surface. This facilitates the maintenance of the presenter.
  • at least one of the presentation rollers has the non-stick surface.
  • the non-stick surface polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • C2F4 n - is also often referred to by the well-known trade name "Teflon".
  • the rings having the non-stick surface comprising polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can further reduce the adhesion of the respective rings to the label.
  • the non-stick surface consists of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
  • the non-stick surface may also include or consist of silicones.
  • the first slotted edge of the slotted bearing falls with an imaginary cylinder jacket whose axis of rotation coincides with the axis of rotation and which intersects the first transition, at least partially together.
  • the shape of the first slotted edge thus at least partially corresponds to that of the imaginary cylinder jacket whose axis of rotation coincides with the axis of rotation.
  • the second link edge starting from the second transition on at least partially curved toward the first link edge shape.
  • the curvature can do this increase with increasing distance from the second transition.
  • the curved shape causes in operation, that with increasing deflection of the second presenter role, resulting from a large leverage, the inhibition is increased.
  • the greater the deflection of the second presentation role the stronger the movement of the second presentation role is inhibited due to the curved shape of the second link edge.
  • the inhibition occurs in operation according to the length of the label and the resulting leverage.
  • the labels which are particularly long, can advantageously be presented, held and output during operation.
  • the first housing component has a Gepatiusebauteilaus foundedung, which is bounded by the first link edge, the trough and the second link edge. Due to the housing component recess, the first housing component is open in a region which extends from the first slotted edge to the second slotted edge.
  • the second presenter roll can thereby be easily separated from the first housing component or inserted into the slide bearing of the first housing component. As a result, the maintenance and handling of the presenter are facilitated.
  • the presentation device preferably has a drive unit which is set up to drive the first presentation roll in rotation and / or to rotate the second presentation roll and / or to drive the third presentation roll in rotation.
  • the presentation rolls can be driven in rotation by way of example by means of an electric drive. It is also conceivable that the presentation rollers are rotationally driven by means of a mechanical coupling with the pressure roller.
  • the drive of each presentation role can be coordinated with the drive of the pressure roller, so that an optimized feed of the label is possible. Due to the drive, the presentation wheels can be braked or stopped. This can be counteracted during operation unwanted slipping or uncontrolled rolling of the label.

  • the label feed direction 23 runs from left to right, ie starting from a cutting unit of a printer, if the printer has the cutting unit, through the presentation device 1 to an output position in which a user can receive the label 11.
  • the third presenting roller 4 is spaced apart from the first presenting roller 2 in the label advancing direction 23 and additionally arranged away from the second presenting roller 3 from the first tangent plane 21. As a result of the third presentation roller 4 being arranged away from the first tangent plane 21, the label 11 first contacts the third presentation roller 4 as soon as the label 11 has lowered due to the gravitational force acting on it.
  • the first presentation roll 2 has a first rotation axis 18 assigned to it
  • the second presentation roll 3 has a second rotation axis 19 assigned to it
  • the third presentation roll 4 has a third rotation axis 20 assigned to it.
  • the first presenter roll 2 and the third presenter roll 4 are rotatably mounted in the first housing component 25 about their axes of rotation 18, 20.
  • the first housing component 25 can be pivoted about an axis of rotation 24 and has a second bearing roller 3 bearing sliding block bearing 14.
  • the slotted bearing 14 has for this purpose a side facing away from the axis of rotation 24 first slotted edge 16, a second slotted edge 17, which is arranged V-shaped to the first slotted edge 16 and a trough 15 extending from a first transition 37 of the first slotted edge 16 to the trough 15th extends to a second transition 38 of the second link edge 17 to the trough 15, on.
  • the first slotted edge 16 and the second slotted edge 17 thus together form a V-shape in a cross section which is arranged perpendicular to the first axis of rotation 18.
  • the second presenter 3 is rotatably mounted in the gate bearing 14 and at the same time translationally movable.
  • the second presenter 3 is in its rest position in the trough 15th stored.
  • the trough 15 is formed by a part of a circular cylinder jacket. It is also conceivable that the trough 15 is formed by a part of another geometric shape, such as a cuboid or an elliptical cylinder.
  • the second presenter roll 3 can move along the first link flank 16 and the second link flank 17 and in an area therebetween.
  • the first link edge 16 extends from the first transition 37 substantially along a second tangent plane 22, in which the first transition 37 is located, and which is perpendicular to a first plane 31, in which the first transition 37 and the axis of rotation 24 lie. If the first housing component 25 is pivoted about the axis of rotation 24, due to the orientation of the first slotted edge 16, the second presentation roller 3 essentially hold its position and is not mitverschwenkt by the first slotted edge 16, if the second recupersentierrolle 3 by a user or by a second Housing member 34 is held in the vicinity of its rest position.
  • the second slotted edge 17 is inclined starting from the second transition 38 to a second plane 32 which lies in the second rotation axis 19 and is perpendicular to a third plane 33.
  • the third level 33 spans through a contact point at which the label 11 contacts the third presentation roll 4 during operation of the presentation device 1, and contact points 27 at which the label 11 contacts the first presentation roll 2.
  • the third plane 33 is different from the first tangent plane 21 because the pad is offset from the first tangent plane 21.
  • a lever force 28, which acts on the second presenter roller 3 thus acts on the second link edge 17, whereby a resulting from the leverage 28 movement of the second recupersentierrolle 3 is inhibited due to the arrangement of the second link edge 17.
  • the first presenting roller 2 has a first shaft 8, on which first rings 5 are arranged at a respective distance from each other.
  • the second presenter roll 3 has a second shaft 9, on which second rings 6 are arranged at a respective distance from one another.
  • the third presenting roller 4 has a third shaft 10, on which third rings 7 are arranged at a respective distance from each other.
  • the second housing member 34 is fixed non-pivotable about the axis of rotation 24.
  • the second housing component has a recess in which the second shaft 9 of the second presentation roller 3 is arranged.
  • the recess forms on the second housing component 34 a projection 35, which comprises the second shaft 9 partially at a distance 36, which extends from the projection 35 to the second shaft 9. If the first housing member 25 is pivoted, the distance 36 is reduced to zero, whereby the projection 35, the second shaft 9 contacted and the second presenter 3 is held, whereby this is not mitverschwenkt.
  • the rings 5, 6, 7 in a plane in which their respective axis of rotation is an outwardly curved cross-section.
  • the contact of the label 11 with the respective presentation rollers 2, 3, 4 is thereby reduced in each case for each of the rings 5, 6, 7 to a point contact.
  • the first rings 5 to the second rings 6 on the respective shafts 8, 9 are arranged offset to one another and that the first rings 5 are arranged to the third rings 7 on the respective shafts 8, 10 offset from each other and that the second rings 6 to the third rings 7 on the respective shafts 9, 10 are arranged offset from one another.
  • the rings 5, 6, 7 have an anti-adhesive surface 29 which contacts the label 11 during operation of the presentation device 1.
  • the non-stick surface 29 may include Teflon and / or silicone. It is also conceivable that the non-stick surface 29 made of Teflon or silicone.
  • the first housing component 25 has a housing component recess 30.
  • the GezzateilausEnglishung 30 is limited by the first link edge 16, the trough 15 and the second link edge 17.
  • the Gepatiusebauteilausnaturalung 30 forms an opening of the first housing component 25, so that the second Schwarzsentierrolle 3 can be easily inserted into the slide bearing 14.
