Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a simple label applicator, and particularly provides a simple label applicator that is convenient for special purposes such as underwriting counter operations.

Conventional label applicators of this type are mainly used in supermarket stores, etc., and the items to be affixed can be placed at various heights, such as on a shelf, on a desk, or on the floor, and the location is unspecified. many. Therefore, in order to meet all of these conditions, the conventional method is to first apply the label applicator to the item and then pull the label from the backing paper by finger-pulling a pistol-type or other type lever. The method used is to peel it off, send it out, and attach it to the item. For these reasons, label pasting work using a conventional label pasting machine requires two to three movements, including the action of applying the label pasting machine to the item, and the pasting action by pulling a lever or moving the wrist or arm. It was hot.

However, in the case of the label applicator according to the present invention, the label applicator can only be applied on a counter table or desk in the operations for which it is used, such as transporting mail and parcels and other consignment acceptance counters. In addition, while interacting with customers, it is necessary to affix labels quickly and reliably in the correct order so as not to keep customers waiting as long as possible, so it is necessary to aim for the exact location of the label on the item. By pressing down on the handle of the label applicator and simply activating it, the label can be correctly applied to the item, thereby increasing the operating speed and work efficiency.

In addition, traditional label applicators such as hand labelers are used in supermarkets, etc., but the work performed there is to attach labels with the same data such as item price and number to multiple items of the same type. Since the nature of the work is 1.
It is not particularly necessary to check the data each time a sheet is pasted, and the structure of the pasting device is not suitable for visually checking the data every time. In the case of the simple label applicator according to the present invention, in order to arrange and sequentially use labels with different data such as a single serial number as an acceptance number for the purpose of use, it is necessary to always check the data of the label to be pasted and the label to be used next time. It is necessary to perform the labeling work while visually checking the data each time. For this reason, an open part was provided for visual confirmation so that the label data could be checked each time, and an indicator was also devised so that the label could be affixed accurately.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1, numeral 1 is a handle for holding the label applicator in the hand, and by pushing down on this handle, the entire mechanism of the label applicator can be operated to apply labels. . 2 is a frame for internally holding each mechanism of the label applicator, 3 is a label paper made by arranging labels at regular intervals and wound into a roll on a peeling board with sprocket holes for paper feeding; A holder for holding the label paper, 5 a guide plate for guiding the label paper to the peeling section, 6 a peeling bar for peeling the label from the backing paper, and 7 a peeling bar 6 to ensure that the backing paper is folded. This guide bar is used to orient the label mount so that the label can be completely peeled off from the mount by being bent and reversed. 8 is a paper feed drum equipped with a sprocket pin for feeding the label paper by feeding the sprocket hole in the mount; 9 is a mount presser spring for bringing the mount into close contact with the drum 8 to ensure paper feeding; 10 is an arm with a pasting pad for pressing and pasting the label against the object to be pasted. 11 represents the label to be used for the next pasting, and 12 represents the label just before being sent out and pasted. Reference numeral 13 denotes a pasting position guide which serves as both a supporter and a pasting position indicator for temporarily holding the delivered label just before pasting. 14 represents the object to be pasted; 15
16 is a used backing paper sent by the paper feed drum, and 16 is a used backing paper that is placed in the middle of the labeling machine to prevent it from interfering with the operation of the labeling machine when it comes out too long at the rear of the labeling machine. This is a serrated mount cutter for cutting and removing the mount, and the mount can be cut by pulling the mount downward while applying the mount to this point. 17 is a return spring for returning the handle 1 to its original position after being pushed down. Reference numeral 18 denotes an interlocking link for operating the arm 10 with the pasting pad after the paper feeding drum 8 is rotated by pushing down the handle 1 to feed the paper. Reference numeral 19 represents the line of sight when visually confirming the label data in the label applicator.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. Grasp the handle 1 in your hand, hold the label applicator in your hand, aim to match the labeling position guide 13 with the labeling position of the item 14 to be labeled, and place the label on the item 14.
While pressing the label applicator onto the handle 1, push down the handle 1. When operated in this way, handle 1
As a result of this stroke, the paper feed drum 8 is rotated via the interlocking link 18 by a circumference corresponding to one label paper feed. Sprocket pins are protruded from the circumference of the paper feed drum 8 at predetermined intervals corresponding to one sheet of paper to be fed, and the label mount is wrapped around the sprocket pins so that the sprocket holes drilled at predetermined intervals in the label mount are hooked onto these protrusions. Since the paper feed drum 8 is rotated by the downward force of the handle 1, the mount is rotated by the paper feed drum 8 by the amount equivalent to sending out one label paper.
It is pulled and sent by. The mount is a peel bar 6
and the guide bar 7, and the peeling bar 6
Since the direction of the backing paper is reversed by 180 degrees at the part shown in FIG. It is sent out to the pasting position guide 13 while being peeled off from the mount. By further pushing down the handle 1,
Arm 10 with attachment pad is interlocking link 18
The interlocking link 18 is pushed down through the arm and rotates downward about the fulcrum of the arm, and as this rotation occurs, the interlocking link 18 separates from the paper feed drum 8, so the rotation of the paper feed drum stops, but the arm 10 with the attachment pad The rotation of the pad does not stop and the pad is sent out to the attachment position guide 13 and presses the held label against the object to be pasted, thereby pasting the label to the object. At the same time as the pasting of the label is completed, either completely release the force pressing down on handle 1 or
When you lift the label applicator upward while grasping it, the return spring 17 stretched between handle 1 and frame 2 returns the positional relationship between frame 2 and handle 1 to the original position before pushing down handle 1. , and the interlocking link 18 also returns to its original position, and in order to attach the next label, the handle 1 must be pressed again.
This means that all you have to do is push down.

FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the way the label applicator is held and the direction of the operator's line of sight when labeling is performed using the label applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention. , 20 is how to hold the hand and its direction, 21 is a label applicator, and 14 is an object to be pasted.

Figure 3 shows the relationship between the way the label applicator is held and the line of sight of the operator when pasting labels using an example of a conventional label applicator, where 22 is the line of sight and 23 is the hand. how to hold it and its direction,
24 is a label applicator, and 25 is an object to be attached.
As can be seen from Figure 2, in the case of the label applicator according to the present invention, it is necessary to check that the label is placed so that the label is delivered to the front part of the label applicator as viewed from the operator, and that the data on the label surface is checked. Since the open part provided for this purpose faces toward the front, the operator can easily check the data of the next label to be pasted. Labels can be pasted on objects while the label is being pasted, and labels can be pasted by simply pushing down on the handle of the label applicator, allowing for quick pasting work. From a movement standpoint, it is ideal for working on a desk or at a reception counter.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to accurately and quickly apply a label so that it fits within a fairly narrow application position column marked on the surface of an object to be applied or on a slip. In the case of conventional label applicators, as shown in Figure 3, it is almost impossible for the operator to check the data on the label surface immediately before pasting, and the pasting position is also difficult to see because it is in the shadow of the applicator. It is difficult to affix a label while sitting in a chair while confirming the exact position, so you have to rely on your intuition to affix the label. Furthermore, since the procedure of applying the applicator to the object and then pulling the trigger, lever, etc. with your finger to send out the label and apply it is required, it is not possible to apply the label with just one action as in the case of the embodiment of the present invention. It turns out you can't do it.

As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention rotates the paper feed drum via the interlocking link by pressing down on the handle, peels off the label from the mount, and attaches the label to the object using the arm, and attaches the label to the object through the hole provided in the frame. Since the label is configured to be visible from the outside, it can be operated with light force, the label can be seen until the moment the pasting is completed, the pasting is ensured, and it has the effect of being excellent in operation speed and durability.
