Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The invention is based on a method in which a heated type ring is pressed against a tape-like marking material such as a plurality of foil-like labels pasted on a tape at regular intervals. The present invention relates to a pedestal for a tape-shaped material to be marked for a marking machine that forms printed characters or the like on a marking material, and particularly to a pedestal used in a manual marking machine.

(Prior Art) Recently, attempts have been made to mark labels by applying pressure to a heated type wheel on the label in order to form burnt-on characters on foil labels pasted on tape at regular intervals. . If such marking can be used in common with a marking machine that conventionally applies three-dimensional marking materials such as electric wires and tubes, it is economical to save equipment costs. A marking machine for electric wires and tubes has an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a cradle engaging means that is attached to the lower jaw and receives a material to be marked, into which a cradle is removably engaged. A substantially U-shaped pedestal holder with an open top surface and opposing inner flanges; a stopper to which the pedestal inserted into the pedestal holder is locked; The holder for the electric wire and the tube is made up of an elastic locking member that engages in the retaining groove and has a receiving groove for receiving the electric wire and the tube.The holder is inserted from one end of the holder by passing under the inner flange. On the other hand, the holder for the tape-shaped material to be marked requires a guide to guide the tape-shaped material to be marked.This guide gets in the way and prevents the holder from passing under the inner flange of the holder. Since the holder for the tape-shaped marking material cannot be attached to the cradle insertion means of the marking machine for electric wires and tubes, the marking machine for electric wires and tubes cannot be used in common.

(Purpose of the invention) An object of the invention is to provide a pedestal for a tape-shaped material to be marked that can be easily attached to a pedestal insertion means of a marking machine for electric wires and tubes.

(Structure of the invention) A marking machine to which the tape-shaped holder for marking material according to the invention is attached has an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and a holder attached to the lower jaw to receive the marking material, which is removably engaged with the upper jaw and the lower jaw. The cradle engaging means is equipped with a type ring that is pressed against the material to be marked on the cradle attached to the upper jaw via a colored tape. a substantially U-shaped pedestal holder, a stopper in which the pedestal inserted into the pedestal holder is locked, and an elastic member that engages in the groove of the pedestal at the position where the pedestal is locked in the stopper. The holder for the tape-shaped material to be marked of the present invention has a pair of guides at both ends for guiding the tape, which is the material to be marked, and the lower surface of the tape-shaped material to be marked. It consists of a cradle body that has a rubber surface on its upper surface that comes into contact with the cradle and is to be inserted into the cradle holder of the cradle engagement means of the marking machine, and this cradle body has a rubber surface on its upper surface that is inserted into the cradle holder. A pair of floating grooves are provided on both long edges so that the area including one of the pair of guides is lifted from the inner flange of the cradle holder, and the lower surface of the cradle body is inserted into the cradle holder. It is characterized by having a flange escape groove that is provided in the flange and allows the upper surface of the pedestal body to escape when one guide is inserted into the inner flange.

In this way, the guide can pass under the inner flange of the pedestal holder using the flange relief groove,
In addition, at this time, the inner flange does not get in the way of floating the cradle body due to the pair of lifting grooves, so the cradle body can escape from the stopper and move forward in the insertion direction, and therefore the tape The holder for marking material can be easily attached to a marking machine for wires and tubes.
