Description

The invention relates to a hand-held labeling device with a feed device for a device with transverse incisions provided label tape and for cut labels, which has a handle and a handle lever has as well as a label supply roll holder, a tape feed roller actuated by the handle lever, which on their circumference with ratchet teeth beset.-t is to engage in the incisions of the label tape and with separating knives for cutting the labels, and a counter-cutting block for the separating knives, which comes with connected to the handle lever.

Based on this prior art, the task is to design such a device so that a secure guidance of the already detached from the carrier strip and cut off from the label tape Labels on the way to the pressure roller is guaranteed, the feed device in more space-saving Way should be arranged in the device.

This object is achieved according to the invention by an endless belt which is around a first roller, one under the First roller arranged second roller and one via a toothing with the tape feed roller geared related third roller mounted under the tape feed roller is guided, and by a second endless belt, the ur., the third roller and a reverse roller at the dispensing opening of the device is excited.

The labels are therefore constantly guided during their advance transport through the device, and the Using the endless belts and guiding them over several rollers also makes it possible for the purpose of Inserting a new label tape the endless belt in a simple way from the one equipped with knives Move away the tape feed roller. It effectively prevents the labels from being loose on a label advance mechanism rest.

It is advantageous if resilient pressure elements and the use of endless belts for transporting labels in bottle _{labeling machines} and the like is known, but such devices are large machines in which the problems that occur with tight installation space are irrelevant In addition, the labels do not have to be freely available at a dispensing opening, but can be stuck to the straps and pulled off the bottles that are moved perpendicular to them.

From the following description of an embodiment shown in the drawing, the Invention again clearly evident. Show it

In the embodiment there is a tape feed roller 605 is provided, which is rotatable on an axis 606 between the side plates of the labeling device frame This tape feed roller 605 is on its zvlindi .sehen jacket surface in the vicinity of its central part provided with two annular ribs 619, as in FIG

Ulli Z.M1.1 ι.,. &. *. "---"

F i g. 2 and 3 shown, which between them an annular groove 611 form. The tape feed roller 605 is also provided with axial radial slots 608 at equal intervals Mistake. In each of these slots 608 are a toothed plate 609 and a strip cutting blade 610 inserted and fastened. A gear 615 is coaxial on one side surface of the tape feed roller 605 attached. A number of laterally protruding pins 616 are in the opposite one at their foot ends Side surface of the tape feed roller 605 embedded.

Each tooth plate 609 is provided with a cutout 612, as in FIG. 4, which is flush with the annular groove 611 of the tape feed roller 605 and with feed teeth 613 on opposite sides of the cutout 612. Each cutting blade 610 is similarly provided with a cutout 614 in its central portion. A cutting block 617 is arranged for cooperation with the tape feed roller 605 below and parallel to it and with its lateral ends slidable in vertical slots 618 in which it is guided and which are provided in carrier plates 607 which are attached to the side plates of the labeling device frame . In the upper part of the cutting block 617, vertical cutouts 62C ¹ are provided at positions which are opposite to the aforementioned ribs 619 on the tape feed roller 605. Rectangular openings 621 are provided below the same.

An upwardly directed adjustment plate 622 is on the top of the cutting block 617 on that side attached, which is located below the pins 616, which protrude from the feed roll 605, and occurs when the cutting block 617 is in its raised position in the space between two adjacent pins 6i6 to the holding position

the tape feed roller 605 to determine.

The gear 615. the one on the left side of the Tape feed roller 605 is attached, is in engagement with a gear 634, which is on the left side of a Roller 632 is attached, around which a number of second endless belts 638 for conveying labels to the Output opening is cocked. Two further first endless belts 635 are around roller 632 and rollers 636 and 637 tensioned - which around the tape \ orsctiubrolle 605 are arranged around, with the outside of the strand located between the rollers 637 and 632 of the endless belts 635 in a concavely curved path around part of the cylindrical outer surface of the Tape feed roller 605 is circulated. The endless belts 635 are arranged in the transverse direction so that they pass through the cutouts 620 in the cutting block 617. They are also on their dem The side facing the label tape is ribbed lengthways.

The roller 632 is at the upper rear of one Etikeuvorschubmechanisnuis 640 (Fig. 5) rotatably mounted. which is provided with a small reversing roller 633 near its front end. The roles 632 and 633 are the main pulleys around which the wide endless belts 638 are tensioned. An elastic spring plate 641 is disposed on the label advance mechanism 640. The spring plate 641 consists of two Pressing elements 642 and 643. which openings 644 and 645 for receiving a fastening pin 646 exhibit. A And'ückelement 642 rests on the / expand pressure element 643 that is applied to the label push mechanism 640 is placed and fastened by the fastening pin 646, which is through the Openings 644 and 645 and through eyelets 648 on the upper parts of the screen plates 647 of the first label advancing mechanism 640 is. ; s

The tape feed roller 605 is intermittently driven by a hook lever 649 attached to his hinged one end to a fork 639 by a pin 650 and to the tape feed roller 605 by a Spring 651 is loaded. At the other end of the lever 649 is provided with a hook o52, which with a protruding still 616 on the right side of the tape feed roller 605 by a movement can be brought into and out of engagement, which is brought about by the actuation of the handle lever 25. This rotates the tape feed roller 605 intermittently

The mode of operation of the embodiment of the labeling device according to the invention described above is as follows.

When the handle lever 25 is pressed against the handle 7, the hook lever 649 moves downward until the hook 652 at its free end with the closest pin 616 of the tape feed roller 605 is engaged. Then, when the handle lever 25 is released, the hook lever 649 returns upward back, which has the consequence that the tape feed roller 605 is turned clockwise. A feed tooth 613 therefore comes into engagement with incisions in the Label strip 87, as a result of which it experiences a feed, whereby it is driven by the first endless belts 635 is held against the cylindrical roller jacket surface until it slides on the second endless belts 638.

The rotation of the tape feed roller 605 is through the gear 615 attached to it is transmitted to the gear 634 meshing with the latter. thereby rotating the roller 632 to which the gear 634 is attached. As a result, the second Endless belts 638 are set in motion, so that the movement of the cutting block 617 from Label strip 87 cut label is moved forward in the manner described, wherein it is pressed against the second endless belts 638 by the spring plate 641. This way the label w ills moved forward and after printing by a printing device in the hand label device on one Place below pressure fingers 82 output and applied to an object.
