Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a label peeling device for peeling a label from a mount wound into a roll.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a printer section and a label peeling body are provided in a path for pulling out a liner wound into a roll, and the liner pulled out by a feed roller is bent at an acute angle by the label peeling body, and the label is removed at this bending part. There are products that can be peeled off from the backing paper and affixed to products, etc.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, as the remaining amount of the backing paper decreases, the winding diameter becomes smaller, so the label attached to the backing paper in this area becomes curly and curved. Therefore, there is a problem in that the label on the label peeling body is curved in the direction of bending of the mount while being peeled off, which makes it difficult to attach the label to a product or the like. This tendency is especially strong for horizontally long labels. For example, labels have recently been used to display titles on cassette tapes, but such labels are elongated and curved, making it difficult to position the cassette tape when it is attached to a case.

Means for Solving the Problem A holding part is provided to hold a long mount having a large number of labels affixed thereto and wound into a roll, and the mount is pulled out from the holding part along the path of the mount. a label peeling body that refracts the label, and a label presser having a contact portion that contacts the label on the label peeling body so as to be perpendicular to the label feeding direction;
Receptacles abutting the outer periphery of both ends of the label holder are provided, and a pressing plate is provided facing these receivers and elastically engaged with the label holder.

Function: Therefore, the contact portion of the label presser is brought into contact with the curled label to correct the curling of the label. In addition, by elastically retracting the pressing plate, attachment and detachment of the label presser is facilitated.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. A shaft-shaped holding section 3 for rotatably holding a roll-wound mount 2 is installed on the opposing side plates 1, and a guide roller 4 and a platen 5 are installed.
A feed roller 6 and a pinch roller 7 are rotatably provided. Further, a thermal head 8 is attached to the side plate 1.

A unit 10 with a lateral label stripper 9 is then provided. This unit 10 includes a label peeling body 9, a label presser 11 parallel to the label peeling body 9, and a plate spring 13 which is a pressing plate that elastically engages with the label presser 11 by the force of a spring 12. Become. The label presser 11 is shaped like a round bar, and a contact portion 15 is formed on the lower outer periphery of the label presser 11 so that the label 14 attached to the mount 2 comes into contact with the label 14 in a line contact state. Further, a spacer 16, which is a receiving part that defines a gap between the label peeling body 9 and the label presser 11 at the center, is fixed to the top surface of the end portion of the label peeling body 9. Furthermore, base portions 17 are integrally formed at both ends of the label peeling body 9, and these base portions 17
A screw 18 that holds the spring plate 13 in a vertically movable manner and also holds the coil spring 12 is screwed together, and a pin 19 is fitted loosely into the end of the spring plate 13 to prevent rotation of the spring plate 13. It is erected. Such a unit 10 is fixed by tightening both ends of the label peeling body 9 to the side plate 1 with one screw 20, respectively.
The unit 10 is rotated around these screws 20 located coaxially, and the upper surfaces of both ends of the label peeling body 9 and the outer periphery of both ends of the label presser 11 are attached to the fixed shaft 21 erected on the inner surface of the side plate 1 coaxially. By tightening the screws 20 while maintaining the abutment, the unit 10 is positioned and fixed.

In such a configuration, printing on the label 14 is performed by transferring ink (not shown) from an ink ribbon using the thermal head 14. Then, when the platen 5 and the feed roller 6 are rotated counterclockwise and the mount 2 is pulled out from the holding part 3 while being bent by the label peeling member 9, the stiff label 14 is peeled off from the mount 2. When the winding diameter of the mount 2 becomes smaller, the label 14 attached to the mount 2 in this part becomes curled, but is straightened in the process of contacting the label presser 11 on the label peeling body 9. At this time, the label presser foot 11 receives resistance from the stiff label 14, but the label presser 11 is in line contact with the label 14.
4 can be pressed and the plate springs 13 can be retracted upwards, so the passage of the label 14 is not obstructed. The pressure of the plate spring 13 against the resistance of the label 14 can be freely adjusted by turning the screw 18 and varying the strength of the coil spring 12.

Therefore, even when the horizontally elongated label 14 is attached to the narrow side surface of the cassette tape case 22, the curl of the label 14 is corrected, so that it can be attached at the correct position.

Moreover, the label presser 11 can be removed with one touch by bending the plate spring 13 upward. As a result, the mount 2 is removed from the back side of the label 14.
The adhesive adhering to the label presser foot 11 can be cleaned thoroughly and reliably through the process, and the label 14
It can prevent surface stains. After cleaning, the label presser 11 can be attached with one touch by bending the plate spring 13 upward. in this case,
The label presser 11 is supported and positioned by the spacer 16 and the fixed shaft 21.

In the above embodiment, the spacer 16 was used to set the gap between the label peeling body 9 and the label presser 11 to be slightly larger than the sum of the thickness of the mount 2 and the thickness of the label 14. A projection corresponding to the thickness of the spacer 16 may be integrally formed at the end of the label peeling body 9 or the label presser 11.

Further, by forming a recess along the outer periphery of the label presser 11 in the plate spring 13, the label presser 11 can be positioned without contacting the fixed shaft 21.

Furthermore, the label presser 11 holds the free end of the plate spring 13.
By engaging with the plate spring 13, the base of the plate spring 13 is fixed and the coil spring 12 is omitted, or instead of the plate spring 13, a plate having no elasticity may be biased by the coil spring 12. In either case, the label presser 11 can be held elastically.

Furthermore, in order to press the label 14 in a line contact state, a rod-shaped label presser with a polygonal cross section may be used to press the label 14 by the ridgeline of the corner.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to correct the curling of the label by bringing the contact part of the label presser into contact with the curling label, and therefore, the curling of the label can be corrected. Even if it is pasted automatically, it can be pasted at the correct position,
Furthermore, the pressure plate can be retracted and the label presser can be attached and detached with a single touch, making it possible to easily and reliably clean the adhesive adhering to the label presser from the label. It has effects such as being able to prevent stains on the surface of.
