Definitions

  • the magazine consists of two concentric cylindrical shells having apertures in the periphery thereof and the guide track is stored in the magazine between the concentric shells ⁇ and the supply of record material is stored inside the inner shell so that the strip of material extends through the aperture of the inner shell and through the guide track to the work station.
  • the present invention pertains to mechanism for controlling the feeding and guiding of strip web material. More particularly, it relates to feeding and guiding tape such as is used .as the record medium in imprinting machines.
  • an elongated flexible track along which the tape is fed and which serves to constrain and guide the tape to move in the desired direction.
  • the flexible track can be retracted within a protective housing, which also serves as a container or magazine for a supply of the tape.
  • the track is extended from the housing to a station where the tape is to be Iacted upon as by being imprinted or otherwise.
  • the imprinting operation can be performed on a ⁇ portion of the tape projecting beyond the leading end of the track, or on the tape in the track, the track being open-sided whereby the tape is exposed.
  • the tape is fed yalong the track by a feed element, such as friction roller, bearing against the tape in the track and serving to push it along the track.
  • a feed element such as friction roller
  • the tape can be fed backwardly lalong the track by operating the feed roller in the reverse direction.
  • the track and the tape carried therein are once again selectively returned to the protective housing.
  • a flexible track is provided for guiding the tape to and from the printing station. Since the tape is closely confined by the track, the limp tape can be fed in either direction by applying an appropriately directed feeding force thereto at a point well upstream of the tapes free end. Being flexible, the track can be moved easily from a storage ICC area to and from the work station. If the printing means is of the rotary type, the track can be moved to place its free end closely adjacent the printing rollers and the tape fed beyond the track for imprinting. If the printing means is of the reciprocatory type, the track can be moved to lie directly on the platen, and the printing operation performed directly on the tape lying in the track, either the printing head or the platen being movable to effect imprinting.
  • Another object is the provision of strip feeding mechanism which can be placed at and removed from a work station, as desired.
  • Another object is the provision of a selectively positionable flexible track for guiding the feeding movement of strip material.
  • a further object is the provision of such a flexible track which can be advanced from and retracted into a protective housing structure.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view partially in section of a rotary imprinting machine in which the tape feeding 4mechanism of the invention can be incorporated, the track being retracted into its housing which is in lowered, ineffective position.
  • FIG. 2 is a similar view but with the housing raised and the track advanced from the housing to the printing station.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged front elevational view, partially in section, of the housing.
  • FIG. 4 is .an enlarged cross-section of the track, taken on line 4 4 of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary top plan view of a portion of the track.
  • FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the track taken on line 6 6 of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 is a fragmentary left side elevational view, partially in section, of the housing and the drive train for the feed roller.
  • FIG. 8 is a section taken on line 8 8 of FIG. 2 showing the detent for the inner shell.
  • FIG. 9 is front elevational view similar to FIG. 2, showing a modified form of printing machine, namely a reciprocatory printer, in ⁇ which the invention can be incorporated.
  • FIG. l0 is a top plan view, partially in section, taken on line 10 ⁇ 10 of FIG. 9. y
  • FIG. 1l is a cross-sectional View similar to FIG. 4, of a modified form of track.
  • FIG. l2 is a cross-sectional view of a third form of track.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates generally a printing machine in which the present invention can be embodied.
  • the machine includes a supporting deck 2 providing a guide surface leading to 'a printing station comprising a conventional rotary printing mechanism including a printing roller 3 having a printing die plate 4 affixed thereto, and a cooperable pressure roller 5 (FIGS. l, 2).
  • a roll 6 of the tape T which is to receive imprinting impressions from the printing mechanism is contained in a magazine in the form of a housing 7 which also serves to house the track 1.0 in which the tape is confined and guided for longitudinal feeding movement.
  • the housing comprises two concentric, closely spaced, telescoped, cylindrical shells 11, 12.
  • the outer shell 11 has a rearwardly extending tubular hub portion 13 (FIG. 7) in which is rotatably journalled the rearward end portion of a shaft 14 on which the inner shell 12 is secured.
  • the tape roll 6 includes the usual core 15 which is loosely supported on a sleeve 16 mounted on shaft 14.
  • a nut 1,7 threaded on the right end of shaft 14 abuts a washer 20. The latter holds sleeve 16 in place and also retains the tape roll 6 in position.
  • the track comprises an elongated base strip 21 along whose opposite sides extend narrow strip portions 22 separated from the base strip by narrower spacer strips 23.
  • the tape T is held in the track by the portions of outer strips 22 which extend inwardly of spacers 23, and the tape is exposed between inner facing edges of strips 22.
  • the base strip 21 'and the outer strip portions 22 are made of thin resilient, smoothsurfaced material such as blue tempered spring steel.
  • the spacers 23 may be made of any suitable material, such as the aforementioned spring Steel, or any other suitable metal or plastic.
  • the track is of the cross-v section shown in FIG. 4 throughout its length. kIt is open at its respective opposite ends, whereby the tape can enter the track at one end thereof and leave at the other end.
  • the inner end of the track is disposed within the inner housing shell 12. From there, it extends through an opening 25 in the inner shell into the space between the two shells and along the outer surface of the inner shell, being fastened to the inner shell adjacent opening 25, as by rivets 26.
  • the track passes outwardly of the housing through an opening 27 in outer shell 11, resiliently pressing against the end of a plate 30 (FIGS. 3, 10) which extends partially across opening 27.
  • Plate 30 is adjustable angularly by virtue of its screw and slot connection 31,
  • the tape T extends from roll 6 thereof through the inner end of the track and along the base strip 21, being held on the track by the inwardly extending narrow strip portions 22.
  • the track When the track is not in use, it is retracted into housing 7 by rotating inner shell 12 counterclockwise to the position shown in FIG. l. Most of the track length then lies between the inner and outer shells 11, 12. Since the track is resiliently fiexible, it can without difficulty assume the curved position shown in the narrow space between the two shells.
  • the entire housing is rockable between a lowered position (FIG. l) to a raised effective position (FIGS. 2, 9, l0) through an opening 33 in the work ldeck 2.
  • a pivoted door 34 is biased downwardly by gravity or any suitable spring means to cover opening 33 flush with the adjacent portion of the work deck.
  • Two rearwardly extending lugs 35 at the bottom of housing 7 support it for rocking movement about a Shaft 36.
  • a leaf spring 37 acting on the under side of the housing biases it upwardly.
  • the housing is adapted to be blocked in ils lowered position by a horizontally movable control finger 40 whose under edge lies in the path of movement of hub 13 of the outer shell 11 when the control finger is to the right.
  • a knob 41 atachedto finger 40 is pulled toward the left (FIGS. 2, 9), releasingthe housing for upward movement under the urge of spring 37.
  • control knob 41 is pushed in, whereby the forward sloping cam edge 42 of finger 40 will engage hub 13 and cam the housing down to retracted position below Work deck 2 where it is held by the lower horizontal edge of the finger.
  • inner shell 12 is rotated clockwise to advance track 10 from the housing.
  • This rotational movement of the inner shell can be effected yby any suitable power or manual means.
  • a manually engageable finger piece 43 extending laterally from the inner shell can be provided for this purpose.
  • the track is directed 'by plate 30 to an elongated slot or throat defined between work deck 2 and a closely spaced overlying member 44.
  • the track is advanced as described above to a point just short of the nip of the cooperating printing rollers 3, 5 (see FIG. 2).
  • the tape has a substantial amount of slack between the inner end of the track and roll 6, and the small frictional forces between the track and tape are sufficient to carry the tape along with the track when the latter is moved.
  • the inner shell is releasably held in its clockwise (trackadvanced) and counterclockwise (track-retracted) positions by a pin ⁇ 45 (FIG. 8) mounted on and urged inwardly by a spring 46 secured to outer shell 11 through an opening in the latter into one or the other of two appropriately positioned holes 47 in the side face of inner shell 12.
  • the feeding of the tape relative to track 10 is effected by a resilient rubber or the like feed roller 51 secured on a shaft 52.
  • Feed roller 51 is so positioned that when housing 7 is in raised effective position, the roller extends through an opening 53 in outer shell 11 and firmly presses against the tape in the underlying portion of track 10, the track itself being pressed by the roller against inner shell 12. Roller 51 will not contact the tape until housing 7 is fully raised.
  • the housing is only partially raised when inner shell 12 is rotated clockwise to project the track for use. This is so that when the track is advanced, the tape will be carried with it without roller 51 engaging and thus holding the tape back and thereby causing relative movement between the two.
  • roller shaft 52 is driven counterclockwise to feed the tape forwardly relative to the track, and is driven in the reverse direction for return movement of the tape.
  • die plate 4 will print on the tape and also feed it to the right.
  • housing 7 is rocked a short distance clockwise to remove the tape from contact with feed roller 51 and thereby free the tape for longitudinal movement caused by the printing rollers, between which the tape is gripped during printing.
  • This movement of the housing is effected by a cam 54 mounted for rotation with die roller 3.
  • the cam includes a lobe 55 shaped so that just before die plate 4 contacts the tape, it Will rock a lever 56 pivoted intermediate its ends at 57 counterclockwise which, through a link connection 60 to the outer housing shell 11 will swing the entire housing 7 down a short distance away from feed roller 51.
  • housing 7 will be held in this position by cam lobe 55 until the die plate has rotated past the tape, and therefore is no longer feeding the tape rightwardly. Housing 7 is now restored upwardly by spring 37 so that feed roller 51 is again in effective driving contact with the tape in the track.
  • the feed roller 51 is once again operated in counterclockwise direction to feed the imprinted portion of the tape into the discharge chute 47, and the rotary cutter 50 is operated by rocking its shaft 61 counterclockwise to sever the imprinted tape. Thereafter, the feed roller is operated in the reverse (clockwise direction) to feed the tape backward to a point where its free end again lies in the nip of the printing rollers in position for a subsequent imprinting operation.
  • the housing When the tape feeding mechanism is not being used, the housing can be partially lowered, the track 4retracted back into it, and the housing rocked clockwise fully down shaft 36 back to its lowered position of FIG. 1. In this movement it will be followed downwardly by door 34 until the latter lies ilush with the Work -deck 2.
  • the particular means used for driving the feed roller shaft 52 is not important to the present invention. This can be done either manually by rotating a hand wheel 62 secured to the shaft, or by any suitable drive train from the motor of the machine. A portion of such a drive train is shown in the drawings. It includes a rack 63 meshed with a small pinion 64 which is rigid with a larger pinion gear 65. The latter drives a pinion 66 rigidly mounted on the feed roller shaft 52. By any suitable arrangement, rack 63 can be driven appropriate amounts and in the appropriate direction to cause the desired rotation of the feed roller.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 Substantially the same tape feeding mechanism is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 embodied in a machine having a reciprocatory rather than a rotary printing mechanism.
  • printing is effected by 'a vertically reciprocatory printing head 67, carrying a printing die plate 68, and cooperable with a stationary platen 70.
  • the platen could be moved vertically and the printing head stationary.
  • the printing head If the printing head is stationary and the platen the vertically movable element, when the platen rises in the printing stroke it will push up the track containing the tape to press the tape against die plate 68. Because of its resilient exibility, the portion of the track on deck 2 can readily be carried upwardly by the platen even though the -remainder of the track is held down by the housing.
  • feed roller 51 is operated in counterclockwise direction to advance the tape into the discharge chute to be severed by the cut-off knife 50.
  • the feed roller is then operated in the reverse direction to return the free end of the tape in the track leftwardly to lie just ahead of die plate 68 in position -for the next printing operation (FIG. 10).
  • the housing when not in use is lowered beneath work deck 2 and the opening 33 in the latter covered ush by door 34, is particular-1y useful if it is desired to use the machine for imprinting individual workpieces as well yas tape.
  • the work deck presents a substantially continuous flat surface along which the individual workpieces can be moved to either the rotary or reciprocatory printing mechanism, without any obstructions on which the individual documents might be caught or detiected.
  • the track can either be retracted into the housing or left in place in projected position. In the latter case, the individual workpieces are fed to the printing station over the track and, in fact, can even be imprinted while resting on the track in the reciprocatory type of printing machine.
  • Door 34 can be omitted if necessary, if the track is to be left in projected position when individual workpieces are being fed.
  • FIG. 11 shows -a modified form of the track, which includes a strip or pad 71 of very low-friction material such as Teon (polytetrafluoroethylene) secured to the upper surface of base strip 21 and positioned to underlie feed roller 51 when track 10 is in its fully advanced position projected from housing 7. It has been found that when tapes having higher friction coeicients are used, the inclusion of pad 71 will facilitate the feeding of the tape along the track by roller 51.
  • Teon polytetrafluoroethylene
  • FIG. 12 shows another form of track.
  • the track comprises an integral molded or extruded plastic body 72 comprising a base portion 73 and overhanging lip portions 74.
  • the material of which the body 72 is made can be any suitable synthetic resin having a low coefficient of friction e.g. polyethylene', polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. Since many such materials have a tendency to take on a permanent set when coiled, as they would be when retracted into housing 7, the track of FIG. 12 preferably includes a resilient spring steel insert strip 75 running the full length of the strip and around which the body 72 is formed.
  • the composite track will remain springy because of insert 75. This prevents the track from becoming limp and therefore diicult to control.
  • the track can be stored at a substantial distance from the work station where the tape strip is to be operated on.
  • the track can be advanced to the work station.
  • the tape which is confined in and guided for feeding movement by the track, can readily be fed in either direction along the track by suitable means,
