Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The second invention in the industrial field of application relates to a label peeling device for peeling a label from a mount wound into a roll.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a printer section and a label peeling body are provided in the path of 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 that 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 causes problems in pasting the label on products or the like. This tendency is particularly strong for horizontally long labels. For example, labels have recently been used to display titles on cassette tapes, but this type of label is elongated and curved, making it difficult to position the label when pasting it on a cassette tape case.

Means for Solving the Problem A holding part is provided to hold a long backing paper on which a large number of labels are pasted and wound into a roll, and a label peeling body is provided that bends the backing paper pulled out from the holding part. , a label presser having a contact portion that contacts the label on the label peeling body is provided perpendicularly to the label feeding direction, and a support for holding both ends of the label presser at both ends of the label peeling body. The label peeling body and the label presser are connected to each other by the support part i, and a unit is formed, and this unit is connected to the opposing side plates by a fastening member.

Therefore, the contact portion of the label presser is brought into contact with the curled label to correct the curling of the label.

Furthermore, by connecting the label peeling body and the label presser by means of supports provided at both ends of the label peeling body to form a unit, the relative positions of the label peeling body and the label presser can be easily adjusted in unit units. Furthermore, it becomes possible to assemble the adjusted unit to the side plate using the fastening member.

Example An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

A shaft-shaped holding part 3 for rotatably holding a mount 2 wound into a roll is installed on the opposing side plates 1, and a guide roller 4, a platen 5, a feed roller 6,
A pinch roller 7 is rotatably provided. Further, a thermal head 8 is attached to the side plate l.

Next, a unit 10 having a horizontally long label peeling body 9 is provided. This unit 10 includes a label peeling body 9
It consists of a bell holder 11 parallel to the label peeling body 9, and a plate spring 13 which is a support part that elastically presses against the label holder 11 by the force of a coil spring 12. 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 that defines a gap in the center between the label peeling body 9 and the label presser 11 is fixed to the upper 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 have screws 18 that hold the plate springs 13 in a vertically movable manner and also hold the coil springs 12. A pin 19 is screwed together, and furthermore, a pin 19 is provided that is loosely fitted to the end of the plate spring 13 and prevents the plate spring 13 from rotating. Such a unit 10 is fixed by tightening both ends of the label peeling body 9 to the side plate 1 using one screw 20, which is a fixing member, and a Rotate the unit 10 and tighten the screw 20 while maintaining the state in which the upper surface of both ends of the label peeling body 9 and the outer periphery of both ends of the label presser 11 are in contact with the fixed shaft 21 installed coaxially on the inner surface of the side plate 1. As a result, 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 section 3 while being bent by the label peeling member 9, the stiff label 14 is peeled off from the mount 2. Mount 2
When the winding diameter of the label 14 becomes smaller, the label 14 attached to the mount 2 in this area tends to curl, but it 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 strong label 14, but it presses the label 14 in a line contact state and can also retract the plate spring 13 upward, so the label presser foot 11
It does not obstruct the passage of 4. 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 the label 14 can be attached at the correct position. 'Also, the label peeling body 9 is positioned and fixed by loosening the screw 20, rotating about the screw 20 as a fulcrum, and tightening the screw 20 while maintaining the state in contact with the fixed shaft 21.' Thereby, the two surfaces bordering the edge of the label peeling body 9 can be aligned with the running direction of the mount 2.

Furthermore, the label presser 11 can be removed with one touch by bending the plate spring 13 upward. As a result, the label presser 1 is passed from the back side of the label 14 through the mount 2.
The adhesive attached to the label 1 can be cleanly and reliably cleaned, and the surface of the label 14 can be prevented from becoming dirty. 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 attached to the label peeling body 9 by the spacer 16.
A gap is set with respect to the running direction of the mount 2, and the fixed shaft 21 positions the mount 2 in the running direction.

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

In addition, by engaging the free end of the plate spring 13 with the label presser 11, the base of the plate spring 13 is fixed and the coil spring 12 is omitted, or a plate without elasticity can be supported in place of the plate spring 13. Alternatively, the plate may be biased by a coil spring 12. In either case, the label presser 11 can be elastically pressed against the spacer 16 and the fixed shaft 21.

Furthermore, in order to press the label 14 in a line contact state,
It is also possible to use a rod-shaped label presser with a polygonal cross-section to press the label 14 using the ridge lines of the corners.

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 automatically remove the label that has peeled off from the backing paper. Even when the label is to be pasted, it can be pasted in the correct position.Furthermore, by connecting the label peeling body and the label presser with the support parts provided at both ends of the label peeling body to form a unit, the label can be pasted in the correct position. This makes it possible to easily adjust the relative position between the label peeling body and the label presser, and furthermore, the adjusted unit can be assembled to the side plate with screws, which simplifies the overall assembly. It has the following effects.
