Power operated paint applicator

for price marking devices.

The present invention relates to a labeling device, which is used, for example, to mark cans or other packs with prices, and in particular a Labeling device with a labeling head and a paint application device, which has an improved arrangement for supplying the paint application device with paint.

In the U.S. Patent No. 3,174,426, which was issued on March 23 In 1965 Merrill E. Boekeloo was granted, describes a labeling device with an inking roller that oscillates back and forth, the paint from a firmly attached pad of paint

transferred to the type area of the labeling head. Tie Inking roller that works with the labeling head is pressed, always comes with the. same 'surface section of the pillow in touch. That section of the ink pad that the ink roller repeatedly touched had to be must be refilled with paint, as this is ongoing on this notice Paint was taken, although other parts of the paint cushion could still contain enough color.

The invention is based on the following task A labeling device, as mentioned above, is to be created which has an ink supply roller and Contains devices to rotate this roller, so that with repeated back and forth swinging of the inking roller from Inscription head for paint supply roller iau-er again other surface portion of the supply roller with the Application roller is brought into contact; As a result, the labeling device can be in operation for a much longer time before the Supply roller needs to be refilled with paint.

It should continue to be a color supply device for created a labeling machine of the above type in which the refilling with paint can be carried out quickly and effectively, with the main supply roller, which must be removed from the labeling machine for refilling, then brought to exactly the same place can be so that it can be touched by the inking roller. »

There now follows a description of an embodiment of the invention based on the drawings.

Figure. 1 shows in elevation the front of the lower one Part of a labeling device or a labeling machine, as generally described in the patent cited above.

FIG. 2 is a section along line 2-2 of FIG.

Figure 3 is a section along line 3-3 of Figure L. '

Figure 4 is a section along the line 4-4 of Figure 5 and shows the device that includes the ink supply roller supplied with fresh paint.

Figure 5 is a section along line 5-5 of Figure 4.,

From a detailed description of the general The mode of operation of the labeling device is disregarded here and, for this purpose, on the above-mentioned U.S. Patent referenced. The device contains a housing, denoted generally by 6 is. A labeling head 8 that is perpendicular to this housing performs a relative movement, Gumarxiri contains a 10, on which are the types of printing 12, such as numbers and / or letters. In the present embodiment, the label head 8 is moved up and down in the vertical direction by a suitable solenoid arrangement 14.

An inking roller 16 is on a shaft 18

secured between two levers 20 connected at 22 to suitable portions of the frame 6. The labeling head 8 is attached to a cross member 24, which is between extends two vertically movable plates 26 which are moved by the solenoid assembly 14 up and down. The plates 26 contain pins 28 which slide in vertical slots 30 of the frame plates 32. These pins 28 also slide in backwardly curved slots 34 provided in the levers 20 and in which the shaft 18 the applicator roller is at rest. While the labeling head 8 is moved up and down in the vertical direction, the moves Inking roller 16 from its position shown in solid lines into the position shown by dashed lines (Figure 2). When the roller 16 moves to the left, it sweeps over the downward facing fonts 12, and if so the roller swings to the right into the position shown in Figure 2 by dashed lines, it touches an ink supply roller 36.

The ink supply roller 36 is seated on a shaft 38 which is rotatably mounted in the ends 40 of a roller holder 42. The roller mount has a rear wall 44 with a threaded bolt 46 which extends through a slot 48 in the rear wall 50 of the main frame 6; the bracket 42 for the supply roll is retained by a nut screwed onto the _<bolt 46 wing nut 52nd

As can be seen from Figure 3, the right end is

909886/0156.

of the shaft 38 of the supply roller 36 with a üuffenende connected, which is driven by a suitable reduction motor 56 will. In Figure 3, the right fixed frame wall 32 includes an upwardly extending slot 58 in which the air end 54 and herewith the parb supply roller 36 lowered and can be learned from the fixed main frame.

A carrier 60 is fastened to the inside of the frame plate 50 of the main frame with screw bolts 62 which extend through slots 64 in the carrier 60. The carrier 60 has a horizontally forward extending arm 66, on the underside of which the roller holder 42 rests after its installation in the main frame; This ensures an exact alignment of the roller holder 42 and the paint supply roller 36 relative to the oscillating inking roller 16.

The paint supply roller 36 and its bracket 42 can be removed from the label maker, generally to provide fresh paint to roller 36. Once removed, supply roller 36 can be quickly and efficiently supplied with fresh paint by a dedicated arrangement. To this end, see Figures 4 and 5. In these drawings, a container 68 is shown in which ink or paint 70 is located. The container has an upwardly inclined inwardly extending wall 72 with a slot 74 in which the bolt 46 sits, with which the roller aging 42 is otherwise connected to the frame of the labeling device, the screw bolt 46 of course through the wing nut

is held. The roller holder 42 holds the supply roller 36 so in the container bö, as shown in Figure 4, that the lower section of the roller 36 is immersed in the ink bath 70. By turning the roller 36 in the dye bath, the entire roller surface becomes successively soaked with paint j the roller 36 is preferably made of an absorbent material, so that a considerable amount of paint picked up by the roller will.

The roller holder 42 and the supply roller 36 can then be built into the labeling system again, as shown in FIG. When installing the roller holder 42 to the underside of the horizontal arm 66 of the carrier 60 applied so that the supply roller 36 'is exactly her again occupies original position and with. the inking roller 16 can be brought into contact in a suitable manner.

When operating the marking device, the supply roller 36 continuously rotated j this causes the inking roller 16 in contact with the ink supply roller 36 once with each up and down movement of the labeling head θ brought, each time touching a different portion on the surface of the supply roller 36. When the applicator roller 16 touches the types of printing 12, it rotates a little, so that they each time with a different section of their cylindrical surface in successive operations the fonts 12 touched.
