Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a manual type device that is configured to sequentially attach a large number of labels to a transfer tape, fold the transfer tape at a folded edge, and transport the label intermittently, thereby allowing the label to be peeled off and advanced from the transfer tape. It concerns labelers.

In this type of labeler, the transport tape of the label tape is engaged with the transport drum, and this transport drum is intermittently driven by the operation of the manual lever. There is an inconvenience that it is necessary to do this, and the effort for this is troublesome.

The present invention aims to provide a labeler that can eliminate such inconvenience.

The labeler of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the figure, 10 is a case body, which has a handle 11 and a holding part 12 for the label tape 20.

A lever 30 is pivotally attached to the case body 10, and this lever 30 is always deflected in a direction away from the handle 11 by a return spring 31.

Further, the extending portion of the lever 30 into the case is configured as an actuating portion 32, and this actuating portion 32 is provided with driving means for the printing device 40 and the transfer device 50.

The printing device 40 is rotated up and down in the figure by the rotation of the operating portion 32 of the lever 30, and thereby the label holder 6
0, and is configured to be attached and detached from the conventional printing device 4.
It is made in the same way as 0.

An ink roller 41 is attached to the printing device 40, and when the printing device 40 is in the raised position, this ink roller 41 is in direct contact with the bottom of the printing device 40, and when the printing device 40 is lowered, printing is not performed. The ink roller 41 is configured to be removed from the bottom surface of the device 4o, and the configuration of this ink roller 41 is similar to that of a conventional labeler.

The transfer device 50 includes the drive means, for example a rack gear 51, a one-way clutch 52 that engages with the rack gear 51, and a transfer drum 53 that is coupled with the clutch 52. Pressing rollers 54 and 55 are disposed on both the tape feeding side and the tape feeding side, respectively, and a pressure roller 54 and 55 is provided between the rollers 54 and 55 along the circumference of the transfer drum 53 and along the circumference of the transfer drum 53. An arcuate guide piece 57 is provided between which a tape transition gap 56 is formed.

The transfer drum 53 has locking projections 531 protruding from its outer peripheral surface at predetermined intervals, and the transfer tape 21 of the label tape 20 is locked to the locking projections 531.

The label tape 2o is composed of a transfer tape 21 and labels 22 sequentially pasted on the transfer tape 21,
The transfer tape 21 is sequentially provided with a large number of locking holes, and the locking holes are locked by the locking protrusions 531 of the drum 53. Therefore, the transfer tape 21 is fed out from the inlet side of the drum 53. It is transported towards side i.

As shown in the figure, the label holder 6"0 is pivotally connected to the feed-side pressure roller 54 of the transfer device 5° and the coaxial case main body "O", and the rotating end thereof is attached to the transfer tape 21 of the label tape 20. A folding edge 61 is formed for folding back the label tape 20 , and the upper surface near the folding edge 61 is formed as an elastic receiving surface 62 for receiving the label 22 . The device 40 is attached and detached, thereby printing characters on the label 22.

The front plate of the label holder 60 is provided with a pressing member, for example, a pressing roller 70, and the printed label 22 is pressed and affixed to the article by the pressing roller 70.

A cutter mechanism 80 is provided on the tape sending side of the transfer device 50.
The cutter mechanism 80 includes a cutter member 81 and a locking means for locking the cutter member.

The cutter member 81 includes a rotating piece 81-3 which has a pivot point 811 below the sending roller 55 and has a rotating end 812 extending to the vicinity of the feeding roller 54, and this rotating piece 813. A cutting edge formed on the pivot side edge parallel to the above-mentioned delivery side roller 55, for example, a serrated edge 814 for tape cutting.
and a stripper 815 provided on the inner surface of the rotating piece 813 so as to fit into the circumferential groove 532 of the transfer drum 53;
An appropriate number of protrusions 8 are provided on the outer surface of the rotating piece 8 to face from the feed roller 54 to the feed roller 55.
16, which can be rotated at any time about the pivot point 811 as shown in FIG. It is designed to have a door.

The locking means locks the cutter member 81 in FIG. 3B.
The cutter member 81 is configured to be locked when the door is closed, and in the embodiment, it is made of an elastic retaining piece 82 that locks the cutter member 81.

In the above case, it is preferable that the rotating piece 813 is provided with a transparent cutout 817 as in the embodiment, and the rotating end of the rotating piece 813 has a locking projection for the transfer drum 53. It is preferable to form the notches 818 and 818 so that they do not come in contact with 531.

Since the labeler of the present invention is as described above, as shown by the chain line in FIG. After returning the stand 60, if the lever 30 is rotated back and forth, the transfer drum 53 is rotated according to the return operation number of the lever 30, and the drum 53 and roller 54 automatically move the transfer tape 21. When the transfer tape 21 is fed into the transition gap 56 and subsequently exits from the transition gap 56 to the delivery side, the transfer drum 53 and the pair of pressure rollers 54
, 55.

Therefore, the labeler of the present invention has the advantage that the transfer tape 21 can be automatically set on the transfer drum 53. - Furthermore, since the labeler of the present invention is configured so that the cutter member 81 of the cutter mechanism 80 can be opened and closed below the transfer drum 53, the adhesive of the transfer tape 21 that is resistant to the transfer drum 53 and the intrusion from the outside can be prevented. In addition to the benefit of being able to easily remove the dust that has been removed, the cutter member 8
Since the protrusion 816 is formed on the rotating piece 813 of 1,
There is also the advantage that the label 51 that is erroneously attached to the outer surface of the rotating piece 813 can be easily peeled off and removed.

That is, when the label tape 50 is initially set, the label 51 is stuck to the entire surface of the transfer tape 52, so it is necessary to remove the label 5 beyond the folded edge 61. In some cases, a label 51 that has not been removed may be peeled off from the transfer tape 52 at the position of the feed roller 54 and run up and adhere to the outer surface of the rotating piece 813. Although there was an inconvenience that the peeling and removal process was troublesome, the labeler of the present invention has the advantage of being able to eliminate this inconvenience.
