A label supply roll R consists of a carrier tape W on which a number of pressure-sensitive Labels L is detachably arranged. The housing 21 has an interior space 23 which accommodates an auxiliary frame 24. The auxiliary frame 24 supports the label supply roll R rotatably and forms a path for the carrier tape W. Das Carrier tape W is withdrawn from the label supply roll R and partially guided around a roll 25 between a print head 26 and a plate designed as a roller 27 moved through it, partially moved around a detachment device designed as a roller 28, then again partially around the plate roller 27 led around, partly moved around a roller 25 *, moved through between a feed wheel 29 and a pressure roller 30, moved past a scraper 31 (Fig. 3) and finally moved through an outlet channel 32, through which the carrier tape W emerges from the labeling device 20. The pressure roller 30 is on a guide 31 (Fig. 3) stored.

The housing 21 comprises a housing section 33 with a plurality of openings 34 and 35. The keys 36 of a keyboard 37 protrude through openings 34 and an indicator 38 is visible through opening 35.

An applicator 39 comprising a series of rollers 40 is disposed over the front label L, the has been almost completely peeled off from the peeling roller 28.

From FIG. 2 it can be seen that the housing 21 further comprises housing sections 41 and 42. The housing sections 41 and 42 are essentially mirror images. The housing sections 41 and 42 include side walls 43 and 44 and flanges 45 and 46.

The print head 26 is clamped to a support on the floor or otherwise attached, made of metal, to form a heat sink _e of the support 47 has a number of ribs 48. The support 47 is arranged above a support 49th A rod or a shaft 50 with a non-circular cross-section engages with its end regions in corresponding holes 51, and screws 52 are screwed through the housing sections 43 and 44 into the end regions of the rod 50. The rollers 40 are rotatably mounted on the rod 50, and the support 49 has arms 53 arranged at a distance from one another, through which the rod 50 protrudes. A further support 54, which can best be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, has arms 55 through which the rod 50 likewise protrudes. The support 54 is arranged below the support 49.

has a tubular portion 72 and an end wall 73 and a splash 74. The fastening part 71 is inserted through the opening 69, and the flange 74 is secured by means of screws 75 on the outside of the auxiliary frame section 56 held in the facility. The outside of the tubular region 72 just engages the opening 69. An electric motor 76 is arranged completely inside the tubular portion 72 and the reduction gear 77 is preferably also arranged completely inside the tubular area 72. A shaft encoder 77 'protrudes slightly beyond the motor 76? Screws 78 are inserted into holes 79 and screwed into an end portion of the reduction gear 77. As This is shown in FIG. 11, there is a between the fastening part 71 and the inside of the feed wheel 29 Gap. The feed wheel 29 has two outer annular surfaces 80 and 81. A plurality of teeth 92 and 93 are desired in one Pattern on the peripheral surface of the feed wheel 29 between the outer ring surfaces 80 and 81 arranged. Two identical holders 83 are on pins 84 * of the subframe sections 56 and 57 arranged next to the respective openings 69 and 70. Each holder 83 has three holder sections 84, the are connected by C-shaped flexible connecting parts 85. Each holder portion 84 has a pin 86 for storage of Rolling bodies, in particular a ball bearing 87. As shown in FIG. 11, the outer bearing rings of the ball bearings are located 87 at three different points of contact of the outer ring surface 80. Each holder 83 is formed so that the circle delimited by the ball bearings 87 at the points of contact has a smaller diameter than the one in question outer ring surface 80 or 81 in the cast state of the respective holder 83. Each holder 83 can be slightly be widened. The connecting parts 85 enable this expansion. When assembling the holder 83

J ^ IJDOO

and its ball bearings 87 on the feed wheel 29, the holder 83 is slightly expanded and on the outer ring surface 80 or 81 attached. The holder 83 prevents play because between the outer bearing rings of the ball bearings 87 and the outer ring surfaces 80 or 81 is no gap. As shown, each group of ball bearings 87 supports the feed wheel 29 at three points which are offset from one another by 120 ° are. The feed wheel 29 is rotatably mounted with very little friction. A reverse rotation of the feed wheel 29 can be prevented either by the motor 76 itself or by some known backstop.

As can be seen from Fig. 10, the feed wheel 29 has a hub 88 with axially extending dovetail-shaped Grooves 89. The grooves 89 are arranged at a different angular distance to the orientation of the rings 90 and 91 to facilitate. The rings 90 and 91 have outwardly protruding feed teeth 92 and 93, respectively, with feed incisions 94 of the carrier tape W (Fig. 3) can come into engagement. The rings 90 have inwardly extending projections 95, 96 and 97, which correspond to the spacing of the grooves 89. The rings 91 have inwardly protruding projections 98, 99 and 100, which also correspond to the spacing of the grooves 89. As shown, the teeth 92 of the rings 90 are axially aligned, and the teeth 93 of the rings 91 are also axially aligned. Teeth 92 and 93 result in the desired pattern and correspond the pattern shown in Fig. 3 of the feed slots of the carrier tape W. By simply providing rings, which have the desired arrangement of the feed teeth can easily have a feed wheel 29 with any desired Tooth patterns are formed. There can also be a feed wheel 29 with any desired effective diameter for Labels of a different length are formed, for example by changing the wall thickness of the rings 90 or 91 will. Each ring 90 and 91 is a coupling device that connects one or more teeth 92 and 93 to the hub 88

connects. Although teeth 92 were connected to hub 88 by means other than one-piece rings 90 or 91 the use of rings is preferred. The hub 88 and rings 90 and 91 are preferably each a one-piece molded part made of plastic. The rings 90 and 91 are just pushed onto the hub 88 around every possible one To avoid play, and the feed wheel 29 is therefore a composite component «that with low cost can be manufactured with great accuracy and still be assembled with the desired pattern. If desired For example, similar rings 90 can be marked with one color and similar rings 91 can be marked with a different color to facilitate storage and subsequent assembly of the parts. As shown in Fig. 10, has each ring 90 and 91 has two narrow annular areas 101 with a reduced diameter, between which there is an annular region 102, with axially extending Ribs 103 is provided, which are arranged at a small mutual distance. The ribs 103 reduce the contact area between the outer surface of the feed wheel 29 and the carrier tape W. As shown, the teeth are located 92 and 93 on the relevant ring area 102. If the rings 90 and 91 are slipped onto the hub 88, then the adjacent tapered outer regions 101 of two adjacent wheels 90 and 91 or 91 and 91 form grooves in which the scraper fingers 104 of the scraper 31 engage (Fig. 3). In the assembled state, the rings 90 and 91 are at the front to each other. The feed wheel 29 shown schematically in FIG. 3 has no tapered edge regions forming a groove 101. Outside the row of rings 90 and 91, disks 105 are arranged on the ring surfaces 80 and 81. Every Disk 105 has a hole 106. The disks 105 serve to guide the edges of the carrier tape W. Each disk 105 is between a shoulder 107 of the hub 88 and the relevant one

Holder 83 arranged. The disks 105 can rotate freely on the hub 88 when the feed wheel 29 is the carrier tape W moves forward. When assembling the feed wheel 29 the rings 90 and 91 are pushed axially onto the hub 88, the disks 105 are on the annular surfaces 80 and 81 next to and on the shoulders 107, and the holders 83 and their ball bearings 87 are around the annular surfaces 80 and 81 arranged around.

The support 49 shown in FIGS. 5 and 15 has a transverse part 108 connecting the arms 53 and a transverse guide 109 with ribs 110. The arms 53 have spaced guides 111 defined by grooves 112 and flanges 113 are. The support 47 has two flanges 114 which engage in the guides 111. The flanges 113 hold the flanges 114 at the bottom of the grooves 112, although the guides 111 are wide enough so that the support 47 can twist, so the linearly arranged print types 115 of the print head 26 with the axis of the small diameter Plate roll can be aligned. The smaller the diameter of the disk roll, the more important one becomes such alignment for high quality printing. The skew of the support 47 and the one on its underside attached printhead 26 can be adjusted with an adjustment mechanism, generally designated by the reference numeral 115 'is designated. Adjustment mechanism 115 * is used when labeling device 20 is manufactured or when the printhead 26 is replaced. The adjustment mechanism 115 * shown comprises two adjustment hoods 116, which are screwed into round parts or bearings 117. The bearing parts 117 can be used in the support 47 and opposite this can be twisted slightly. Two adjacent ribs 48 have opposite concave seating surfaces 118, which accommodate the parts 117. The outermost rib 48 has openings 119 with oversize through which the

- SG-

Screws 116 protrude. The openings 119 are large enough so that the parts 117 can rotate sufficiently, in order to carry out the necessary adjustment of the skew of the support 47 in the guides 111. The screws 116 have annular flanges 120 ″ which are held between the rearmost rib 48 and the transverse part 108. Every screw 116 has a groove 121 into which a Seeger ring 122 is inserted. The end portion of each screw 116 has a Screwdriver slot 123 (FIG. 15) which facilitates independent rotation of the screws 116.

The coil spring 135, the tube 136 and the rod 137 protrude into a pocket-like area 143 of the holder 127. The spring 135 is supported on the pocket-like Area 143 to load the holder 127 clockwise (Fig. 6 and 7). The spring 135 is also supported at Matter 139. The rod 137 can be rotated to adjust the force of the spring 135. By independent Adjusting the rods 137 can adjust the force exerted by the roller 124 on the printing types 115 over the entire length of the group of print types 115 can be set.

The release roller 28 is defined in slots 144 and the shaft 125 extends through slots 145 of the arms 55. The arms 55 are connected to one another by a transverse part 146. The roller 124 preferably has a small diameter, and the printing types 115 are arranged as close as possible to the release roller 28. This increases the proportion of printable Area of label L maximized. The diameter of the roller 124 should be less than 10 mm, preferably less than 6.9 bim be.

The support 54 is around the shaft 50 between one in Fig. 1 with solid lines and one with dash-dotted lines Lines PL indicated position pivotable. The support 54 has transverse parts 146 and upright parts 147. If the parts 147 are squeezed together between the thumb and forefinger of one hand, then the parts 147 give way inward and come out of projections 149 on the inside of the housing sections 41 and 42 free. The parts 147 have openings 150 in which the projections 149 engage.

The connecting part 192 has a flat portion 193, the is held in pockets 194 of the mirror-shaped sections 195 and 196 of the handle 22. As shown in FIG. 13 14 and 14, J-shaped contacts 197 are attached to a planar insulator 192 *. The domed areas 198 the contacts 197 are formed by convex areas 199 of the connecting part 192 resiliently supported. The contacts 197 are with the domed portions 200 of J-shaped contacts 201 in connection. The curved areas 200 of the contacts 201 are covered by a pad 202 made of an elastomeric material Material supported resiliently, which is set in a pocket 203. Bolts 204 extend through a planar insulator 205. The handle 22 is attached to the housing 21 by the handle 22 by means of the The dovetail slot 189 and the connecting part 192 is pushed onto the housing 21. The handle 22 is releasably locked by means of a spring 206 loading a bolt 207. The spring 206 and the latch 207 are arranged displaceably in a pocket 208 of the handle section 196. When the handle 22 is in

<J * t I \ J \ J W w

is in the assembled state, then the bolt works 207 with a shoulder 209 of the housing section 41 together. A shoulder 210 of the handle portion 196 rests a stop 211 of the housing section 41. A finger-actuated projection 212 of the bolt 207 protrudes through an opening 213 of the handle portion 195 therethrough in order to be able to manually disengage the latch 207. The handle sections 195 and 196 delimit a cavity 214 for receiving rechargeable batteries 212, which are connected to the contacts 197 are wired. A socket 216 is over a washer 217 and a nut 218 are connected to the handle 22. The socket 216 is with the batteries 215 electrically connected in order to be able to charge them.

16 shows a housing 300 and a handle 301 of a hand-held labeling device 299. The housing 300 has an interior space 302 which receives an auxiliary frame 303 (FIG. 17). The housing 300 consists of essentially two mirror image housing sections 304 and 305. The handle 301 has two handle sections 306 and 307 which are interconnected by screws 308, only one of which is shown. The handle 301 includes several Rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries 309. An electrical connection socket 310 is in the opposite pocket 311 of the Handle sections 306 and 307 are inserted, and electrical contacts 312 (Figs. 16, 24 and 25) are through a flexible Ribbon connector 313 connected to the connector socket. The connection socket 310 is used to charge the batteries 309. The Batteries are also connected to ribbon connector 313. The contacts 312 are arranged on a holder 314 · bin Coupling part 315 has a bottom flange 315 ', which is in mirror image Pockets 316 and 317 of handle sections 306 and 307 engages. The coupling part 315 works with a coupling part 318 together to form a coupling 319

form. The holder 314 is held in place by lips 320 disposed on the handle portions 306 and 307. The contacts 312 are arranged on the holder 314 in the manner best shown in FIGS. Contacts 312 are identical and each contact has a resilient spring finger 321, a U-shaped portion 322 connected to spring finger 321, and a downwardly angled portion 323 connected to U-shaped portion 322. Each angled portion 223 is associated with the ribbon connector electrically connected. The upper region 324 of the coupling part 315 has a plurality of slots 325 which are vertically aligned with the contacts 312. The slots 325 are wide enough to accept rigid contacts 326. The coupling part 315 has outwardly projecting projections 327 and 328 which engage behind the flanges 329 and 330 of the coupling part 318. The handle 301 is coupled to the housing 300 by sliding the handle 301 onto the housing 300 from the rear, using the cooperating pairs of projections 327 and 328 and the flanges 329 and 330. The handle 301 is held in the fastening position shown in FIG. 24 by a bolt 331 which has a finger-operated latch 332 and a spring 333, which are arranged in mirror-image pockets 334 and 335 of the handle sections 306 and 307. The latch 332 engages behind the housing 300. When the handle 301 is moved from the released or uncoupled position to the coupled position, the contacts 326 penetrate into the slots 325 and guide the spring fingers 321 from the position indicated by dash-dotted lines into the PL position position shown with solid lines. If the handle is still slightly outside the fastening position (to the right in the position shown in FIG. 24 with respect to the housing 300), the contacts 312 come to rest against a stop 337 of the coupling part 315. The spring fingers 321 of the contacts 312

from now on prevented from moving in any direction when an impact force is exerted on the labeling device 299, for example when it falls on the floor. The contacts 326 hold the contacts 312 against the stop 337, and the stop 337 prevents a separation of the contacts 312 from the contacts 326 _e the memory 340 will not lose its memory due to a shock load of the labeling device 299. The upper region 324 enables electrical contact of the contacts 326 with the contacts 312, but it serves as a protective shield to prevent damage to the contacts 312, for example when the handle 301 is removed to charge the batteries. The coupling part 315 can be produced economically because it is a one-piece cast part made of an elastomeric plastic. The projections 327 and 328 and the flanges 329 and 330 cooperating therewith are shaped so that the handle 301 separates from the housing 300 when an impact force is exerted on the labeling device. To facilitate this, the flanges 327 and 328 resiliently deform so that the projections 327 and 328 can move past the flanges 329 and 330 even when the latch 331 is engaged.

Instead of connecting the coupling part 315 directly to the two mirror-image housing sections (like this is shown in Figs. 2, 12, 13 and 14), is the coupling part 315 is coupled to the coupling part 318, which in turn is fixed between the housing sections 304 and 305 is. In this way, the coupling does not take place at a point where the housing 300 is divided. The coupling part 318 is fastened with screws 341 which screw into round parts 343 through holes 342 of the housing section 305 are part of the one-piece cast

Coupling part 318 are. Additional screws (not shown) are threaded into parts 343 through holes 342. The housing sections 304 and 305 are securely connected to the coupling part 318 in this way.

In Fig. 17, the subframe 303 is shown, which consists of substantially mirror-image subframe sections 344, 345 consists. Section 344 has a hole 346 that mates with a tubular molded integrally with section 345 Part 347 is axially aligned. The tubular part 347 has an end wall (hidden in FIG. 17) which is provided with a hole is provided through which an output shaft 348 of a reduction gear 350 protrudes through it. An electric motor 349 is coupled to the reduction gear 350. The engine 349 and the reduction gear 350 are attached to the end wall with screws 351, only one of which is shown. the Output shaft 348 of reduction gear 350 extends through hole 346. A disc 352 forming a series of angularly spaced 353 ribs or markings is on an end region 356 of the feed wheel 357 wedged. A resilient washer 354 and a screw 355 extending through the washer 354, is screwed into end portion 356 to secure the disc to the feed wheel. The end portion 356 of the feed wheel 357 is keyed onto shaft 348. A sensor 358 (FIG. 19) engages a pocket 359 of a holder 360. The disk 352 and sensor 358 cooperate to produce a signal corresponding to the position of the feed wheel 357 to deliver to the district 338. The feed wheel 357 has teeth with a certain pattern, so that the carrier tape w (Fig. 1) and the labels L carried by it are aligned with the teeth. The sensor 358 provides signals to the circuit 338, which in turn brings the labels L to coincide with the printing position and with the label application position.

The feed wheel 357 has two spaced apart annular areas 362 and 363. Two spaced apart Arranged holders 364 and 365 serve to support roller bearing bodies, preferably ball bearings 366. The holders 364 and 365 are provided with positioning and retaining pins 367 which engage holes 368 in auxiliary frame sections 344 and 345. The ball bearings 366 rest on the outer circumference of the respective annular region 362 or 363. Like this As best seen in Fig. 20, the holder 364 has a relatively rigid portion 369 which is connected to a relatively flexible, resilient portion 370 is connected to pin mounting areas 371. The pens 367 are molded in one piece with the pin attachment areas 371. In fact, holders 364 and 365 are identical and one-piece plastic castings. With each holder 364 and 365, the ball bearings 366 are supporting pins 372 formed in one piece. Each holder 364 and 365 is molded so that when molded, that of portion 370 bearing 366 is less from the center C of the circle than any that from the section 369 mounted ball bearings 366. When the feed wheel 357 is positioned opposite the ball bearings 366, that the annular portions 362 and 363 are supported by the ball bearings 366, then the flexible elastic Arms 373 and 374 deflected outward. This arrangement ensures that any play between the ball bearings 366 and the outer peripheral surface of the annular Areas 362 and 363 is eliminated. The ball bearings 366 carried by the sections 369 are at equal angles A arranged opposite a center line CL. The center line CL runs along the line of influence of the carrier tape W on force exerted by the feed wheel 357 when the feed wheel 357 advances the carrier tape W. The direction of this Force is marked with the arrow F. Every section

firmly supports the two ball bearings 366 to form a reference point. That supported by each section 370 Ball bearing 366 is elastically supported.

In Fig. 17 a holder 375 for mounting two pressure rollers 376, 377 is shown (on a slightly enlarged scale). The pressure rollers 376 and 377 are identical and have annular grooves 378 aligned with the feed teeth 361, so that the teeth 361 do not contact the pinch rollers 376, 377 when the feed wheel 357 rotates. Any pressure roller 376 and 377 has an external stub axle 379 that snaps into a C-shaped area 380 at the end area of each flexible resilient spring finger 381 of the holder 375 is inserted. In the cast state of the Holder 375, the C-shaped areas 380 would hold the pressure rollers 376 and 377 at a distance that is smaller than the diameter of the feed wheel 357. During assembly, the spring fingers 381 are moved outwards from the feed wheel 357 pressed, and they press the rollers 376 and 377 against the feed wheel. The centers of the rollers 376 and 377 lie on a center line CLl (FIG. 22) which passes through the center of the feed wheel 357. In this way the rollers 376 and 377 exert balanced forces on the feed wheel 357, but they exert no force on the Feed wheel 357, which would have to be taken up by the bearing 366. The ball bearings 366 contact the outer surface of the feed wheel 357 at an angular distance of 120. The holder 375 also has an arcuate guide area 382, with which the spring fingers 381 are connected. Positioning and holding projections 383 (Fig. 17) extend from the guide area 382 outwardly and engage slots 384 in subframe sections 344 and 345. Several in the side Guides 385 arranged at a distance from one another are connected to the guide region 382. The tours 385 have upper guide portions 386 (Fig. 22), which in small

-6ε

At a distance from a guide part 387 are arranged “in order to derive the carrier tape from the feed wheel 357”. The carrier tape W first runs between the roller 376 and the feed wheel 357, then by 180 ° around the feed wheel 357, then between the roller 377 and the feed wheel 357 and then between the guide parts 386 and 387 and out of the labeling device 299 . The guide part 387 is integrally connected to several stripping elements 388. The subframe sections 344 and 345 support guide rollers 42O ¹ and 420 ·· rotatably.

The label roll holder consists of two essentially mirror-image sections 390 and 391. Each section 390 and 391 has a pin 393, which is arranged concentrically in an annular bearing surface 394. Screws 395 extend through aligned fastening parts 396 and are screwed into the binding regions of the pins 393. The fasteners 396 are on the pin 393 freely rotatable. Springs 397 pushed onto the relevant pegs 393 press the fastening parts 396 inwards towards each other to hold the label roll between the fastening parts 396, the springs 397 but may give way so that a new roll of labels can be inserted between the fasteners 396. A movable one Cover hood 398 has a curved area 399 and two walls 400 connected to it. The cover hood 398 prevents the ingress of dust and the like. And protects the thermally coated paper from which the labels L are made from unnecessary contact with the environment. The cover hood 398 and the holder 389 delimit a cavity 392 for receiving the label roll R. The covering hood 398

has two arcuate bearing parts 401 which are in the bearing surface 394 are arranged. The cover hood 398 is therefore out of its position in which, together with the holder 389, it holds the label roll R encloses, rotatable into a position in which it is arranged in the cavity 392, so that the arched Surface 399 of the cover hood of the inner surface 402 of the holder

389 opposite. In this retracted position of the cover 398, the label roll R can be placed on the fastening parts 396 can be arranged, whereupon the cover 398 can be rotated into its closed position. the Cover hood 398 consequently forms a rotatable telescopic part with respect to holder 389. The cover 398 is in their closed position held by two outwardly protruding projections 403 and 404, which are under flanges 405 of the Lock holder 389 releasably. Projections 406 de *: Cover hood 398 cooperate with protrusions 407 (only one of which is shown) on each section 390 and 391 to provide the To limit the rotational movement of the cover 398. The arc angle of the hood 398 is less than 210 and preferably less than 190, preferably about 180, the combined arc angle of holder 389 and cover 398 should however, be 360 to close the cavity.
