Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure A core holding device for rotatably holding a core on which a label strip, having separable labels to be printed and apples, is wound. The holding device includes a core holding member equipped with a plurality of flexible, resil-ient fingers for removably, resiliently holding the core so that the core and holding member rotate together. There is a mounting bracket with a circular recess for removably and rotationally mounting the core holding member. Spaced from, but attached to, the mounting bracket is a juxtaposed core looseness preventing bracket. This bracket is pivotable between a first position to provide easy access into the space between the brackets for mounting and removing the core and a second position which prevents the label strip from falling away from the core. The facing contacting surfaces of the core holding member and the mounting bracket act as two brake surfaces which contact frictionally for imparting a predetermined braking force to the rotation of the core holding member so that the label strip may be prevented from getting slack while it is being fed.

Brief Description of the Drawings In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view showing a label printing and applying apparatus equipped with a core holding device according to the present invention;
Fig. Z is a perspective view showlng an essential portion of the core holding device;
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of Fig. l; and Fig. 4 is an exploded view showing a portion of Fig. 3.
r ; Descriptibn of the Preerred Embodiment ` A preEerred embodiment of the present invention r'~ will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
~, Fig. 1 shows a label printing and applying appar-atus, which is equipped with a holding device 11 for holding a rolled label strip. The label strip 1 is in the form of a roll wound upon a core 12 which is held by the holding device 11. The label strip is fed, by the alternate gripping and releasing operations of a hand lever 2, from core 12 to a labeling member 3 located at the lower left-hand corner of ; the apparatus. An example of such a feeding apparatus can be found in U.S. Patent Re. 27,889, issued January 15, 1974.
~, In Figs. 2 and 3, the label strip holding device 11 generally includes a label and core looseness preventing bracket 4, a mounting bracket 5 and a core holding member 16 which is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 5. The two brackets 4 and 5 are supported in spaced apart and juxtaposed positions and they are preferably shaped 5ym-.
metrically. Brackets 4 and 5 are made of a synthetic resin.

They are joincd at their common rear connecting portion 15.
The looseness preventing bracket 4 is mounted Oll a pivot 14, hich extends into a base portion of the mounting bracket S.
;..
Bracket 4 has an angle o rotati.on o~ at least about 90 degrees about the pivot 14, as shown in Fig. 2. This pivotal construc-.... .
tion is necessary to provide easy access into the space between the two brackets 4 and 5 when the holding device 11 has the ;~ core 12 loaded on it or when the core holding member 16 is ..
.~ removed from the holding device. A locking projection 6, ;~:
. 10 extending from the side surface of the one portion of con-necting portion 15 to which bracket 5 is connected, snaps into a cooperating recess (not shown) in the portion o~
. connecting portion 15 to which bracket ~ is connected. This :;, . .
:/ retains the looseness preventing bracket 4 in registration.
,", ~ . .
with the mounting bracket S when the former is pulled down so that both have the relative position shown in Fig. 1.
The purpose of the looseness preventing bracket 4 is to . prevent the rolled label strip 1 from coming loose or falling or sliding or unwinding o-f the side o-f the core 12 when the ~i. .
: 20 label printing and applying apparatus is turned or tilted sideways during its use.
,'. The mounting bracket 5 is integral wi.th and is stationary relative to the body of the label printing and applying apparatus. In an inner side wall o-E the mounting bracket 5, at the vicinity oE its open end, there is formed a circular recess 17 in which a disc shaped core holding . member 16 is rotatably fitted. .One side of thc core holdlng member 16 is Eormed into a retained section _, by ~hich the -~ member 16 is pivotally retained in the mounting bracket S.
The retained section _ comprises a short shat 18 which is Eormed with an annular groove 22 on its circumEereJIce, as ;i~ seen in ~igs. 3 and 4. Thc shaEt 18 is inserted through a ~; . .
-5~
mounting bore 20, whicll is formed in an outer wal]. 19 at the ,;, back of the ci.rcular recess 17. The sha~t 1~ ,and its groove :
22 extends through the bore 20 to the outside of the mounting bracket 5 and the sha-ft is retained at its annular groove 22 by a retaining snap ring 21. The annular groove 22 is ..
located as near to the base of the shaft 18 as the thickness of bracket 5 would permit such that an exterior brake surface . .
23 of the core holding member 16 is in rictional contact with a corresponding brake surface 24 on the bottom wall of the circular recess 17. A proper braking force due to the frictional contact bet~een the two surfaces 23 and 24 is exerted upon the core holding member 16. The core holding , ' member 16 .is prevented from freely rotating as a result o ', any external rotational Eorce in either direction tllat may be imparted thereto during the operation o-f the label print~
ing and applying apparatus. ' "' ~ :
The other side of the core holding member ~6 i5 formed into a holding section a, which removably holds the ' core 12. This holding section a may be integrally made of a '.
Elexible synthetic resin. It is composed o a plurality of ' Elexible, resilient fingers 25. The fingers 25 extend from a disc shaped section c radially imYardly from the edge of ., section a. The fingers are arranged on,.a common circle and : ':
":, . .

.'~ core 12, thereby to hold the core 12 in position. The core ' .:

12 for the label strip 1 can be turnecl around the short shaft 18 against a braking frictional force. The core is rotated by mot.ion of the label. s~rip 1 ~.rhich is established .~. in accordance ~ith the grippiilg and rcleasing opera~ion of ,i; .

~ bracket 5. Alternatively, the holding member 16 may also be , . . .
~ 10 mounted on the pivotable bracket 4 in a similar manner.
~s As is apparent from the -Eoregoing description, ' attachment and removal of the core 1 for the labe:l.strip 1 can be accomplished in a simpli-fied fashion.
