Such a hand labeling device has long been known (DE-PS 1 224 661). In this known hand labeling device, by actuating a pivotable Handle a label partially or completely detached from the carrier tape and under a pressure member in front of the deflection edge provided after it has been provided with a desired imprint, if necessary. As provided, The pre-dispensed label is located in a dispensing station in the area of the pressure member or in part in the area of the pressure member and partly in the area between the pressure member and deflection edge. The label can in this pre-donated position diirch holder against unintentional Changes in position be fixed. For example, it can also n: with its rear edge on Adhere to the carrier tape or via a glue bridge with the following, with its leading edge already from the Adhere the label that has become free to the carrier tape. However, the latter is only possible if on the carrier tape without Spaced labels can be used. The label can also have a perforated separating layer connected to the next label and thus kept in the pre-dispensing division. To apply of the label on the object to be labeled is the labeling device with the pressure member against the surface the object is pressed and the device is then removed. The pressing member presses the label against the surface to be labeled and rolls or presses it on during the removal process. It can be with the known devices goods of various types provided with self-adhesive labels, dio for example serve to mark prices. It is however: iit dei'-like Handheld devices not possible, labels with more precise

Positioning to be attached to a product. The reason for this is that the exact location of the label when attaching to the goods to be labeled is not visible and that it is also very tedious and time-consuming would be to stop the device on the goods that the label assumes an exact position.

In another known hand-held labeling device (DCD-Gm 6 915 376), the cLas printing unit is arranged in a stationary manner and a rocker is provided which is pivoted by operating the handle. On the outside At the end of the rocker there is a pressure member and the deflecting edge is provided at a distance therefrom. The label will be the same as in the device described above, provided under the pressing member. This is also the case with this known device it is not possible to position the labels exactly when they are applied.

There are also devices for applying labels are known (US-PS 1 183 755 and 1 205 660), in which a Apply glue to the paper strip and close it the labeling object is pressed or rolled on. At least about the position of the label on the object To be able to maintain approximately uniformly, stops are provided in the area of the pressure member in order to at least to specify the position of the label in relation to an edge of the object to be labeled. The a case as a stop on an end face of the device, through which the position of the label in the feed direction is determined relative to the edge of the object to be labeled resting on the end face. Fork-like Projections serve to support the device on the object to be labeled. The other well-known Device serves a side arm as a stop, the

the position of the label transversely to the feed direction relative to a side surface of the object to be labeled Are defined. During the previously specified device, the position of the label transversely to the feed direction can be arbitrary, it is undefined and imprecise in the device mentioned last in the rolling direction.

Furthermore, a labeling device is known (US-PS 2654877) ι ^ i eier separated from a label tape a label section and applied by a pressure member designed as a stamp. The housing laterally guiding the stamp has recesses which can be matched to an object to be labeled. The punch is also adapted to the contour of the recess. However, even with this device, no defined position of the label can be achieved transversely to the label advance direction.

Finally, a device for applying postage stamps is known (CH-PS 410 676), in which to facilitate of placing the device on a letter or a package stops on the machine frame are provided can be where the object to be glued must rest so that the mark is glued in the right place will.

In all known devices, an exact positioning of the label, that is to say an attachment of the label, is necessary in a position defined relative to the object, not possible.

However, there are application cases for hand-held labeling devices where precise labeling is required

./■

is, because in the case of inaccurate positioning of the label in different labeling processes either the appearance of the object is impaired or the functional impairment of the object can occur because, for example, the label is an opening that is important for the function of the object completely or partially covered, or because the label covers a marking.

The object of the present invention is to provide a hand-held labeling device to create that allows certain objects to be easily placed with precise positioning To provide labels.

This task is solved on the basis of a hand-held labeling device of the type mentioned at the beginning, according to the invention in that the device has a holder for receiving it of the object to be labeled is attached so that the holder holds the object in a form-fitting manner secures against shifting in all directions with the exception of the insertion and extraction directions, and that the Deflection edge and / or the pressure member relative to the object with a perpendicular to the one to be labeled Surface of the object-oriented component that can be moved during the labeling process.

A particular advantage of the one designed according to the invention Hand labeling device lies in the fact that, due to the holder, the labels are precisely positioned the object can be applied, with the positional tolerances that can be achieved without any special effort are only a small fraction of a millimeter. It is advantageous that the hand labeling device according to the invention no significant additional

Manufacturing expense compared to the "known hand labeling devices requires, so that it can be produced just as inexpensively is like well-known hand-held labeling devices. Admittedly, it was already possible so far to position labels precisely to attach; but large and complex labeling machines had to be used for this purpose, and their use Space and price reasons are only economical for series labeling, as occurs in industrial production is possible. In many other cases the use of such machines is out of the question. In these In cases, however, it is possible through the inventive Hand labeling device to achieve the desired success with surprisingly little effort. Is beneficial also that it is possible; known hand-held labeling devices can be converted into a labeling device by means of the additional holder, which enables the precise application of labels enables. Since known hand labeling devices are produced in large series, it is possible in this way also the device according to the invention, in which the location of a applied label is reproducible and consistent, to produce at high volume prices. Because feeders of hand-held labeling devices are known which provide a precise feed step related to the label division result with each actuation, the label is pre-dispensed in exactly the same position, see above that there are also no positional inaccuracies due to the pre-dispensing positions of the labels not being uniformly maintained may occur.

In prior embodiments of the invention the deflecting edge and / or the pressure member arranged fixed to the device and it is the holder relative to the device movable. With this device there is also a counter pressure

Plate fixed to the device and it is the printing unit for applying the print against the on the printing plate pressed as an abutment label. In this embodiment of the device according to the invention however, in addition to the drive for the printing mechanism and the label feed, a drive for the holder is required, which generates the desired relative movement necessary for applying the label to the label to be labeled Subject is required. However, just as the device handle is operated manually, this can also be required Relative movement can be generated manually.

In other preferred embodiments of the invention the device is provided with a movable edge and the holder is movable relative to the deflection edge. The holder is preferably pivotable on the device stored and loaded by spring force in the direction of a pivoting movement towards the deflection edge. Is beneficial here that the additional effort required for the holder is very low because the holder is on the device only needs to be attached by means of an axle journal. Such a swivel mounting is not just inexpensive but it also results in a very precise mutual relationship that is maintained over long periods of use Assignment of bracket and device, so that neither play due to production nor due to wear and tear Match the accuracy of the positioning of the labels suffers.

In a further embodiment it is provided that the holder can be easily detached and reattached to the Device is attached »This embodiment has the significant advantage that the device is used for both the usual application of labels to packages of goods and derglo as well as for precisely positioned application Labels can be used on certain objects. The conversion from one type of use to the other can be carried out quickly in this way the area of use of the device according to the invention additionally extended »

The pressure member that the label against the label to be labeled Pushes an object can be pivoted or rotatably mounted on the labeling device In a preferred embodiment, however, the pressing member is movably mounted in the device Embodiments provided that the pressure member as rigid, movable together with the deflecting component is formed, on which the object in the rest position is pressed by the spring force acting on the bracket. It is not necessary that the Pressure member is designed to be rubber-elastic nor is it necessary that it be pivoted fingers or the like. A rigid metal or plastic bridge, for example, can serve as a pressing member can be moved together with the deflection edge and which serves as an abutment for the pivoting movement of the bracket, on which the object or, if the object is not in place, the holder itself comes to rest resiliently «,

In particularly preferred embodiments of the Invention, a known rocker is provided in the device, at the front end of the pressure member and at a distance from this the deflecting edge is attached «. The pivot axis falls in particular the bracket does not coincide with the pivot axis of the Viiippe, so that the pivot bearing facing away The end of the bracket and the front end of the rocker make a lateral movement to one another when pivoting. " This embodiment has the very essential advantage that due to this helative movement of the object or holder and deflection edge or «, pressing member against each other a direct transfer of the itself from the carrier tape detaching label on the object to be labeled results, without in between the label is provided in a pre-dispensing position. The removal of the label from the carrier tape by Advance of the carrier tape and the application of the label to the object to be labeled as well as the pressing of the label on the object are carried out in one step in quick succession »It also becomes A particularly good positioning accuracy is achieved because the label is already on with its front edge adheres to the object as long as the back of the hand area is still adhering to the carrier tape »Es So the label is either on the carrier tape or on the to during the entire application process labeling object or both held so that it is not due to its position due to any change from external influences and can therefore be applied imprecisely.

It will be at this nusführungform of the invention the relative movement between the object to be labeled and the deflecting edge or pressure member solely through the pivoting movement of the Rocker generated The manufacturing effort for the bracket is particularly low and a removable one Attaching the bracket is particularly easy, for example by snapping it on.

In a further refinement, it is possible to provide a slider which grips the label on the adhesive side and which is rotatable about a pivot axis that does not coincide with the rocker pivot axis and is pressed against the front rocker area by a spring. This slide, which is expediently provided with an edge or several points at its free end, takes over the label that has been completely or partially detached from the carrier tape and moves it under the pressure member when the rocker swings back its front area in the end position or rest position of the rocker against the object to be labeled. The pressing member is preferably as a group of elastic or pivotable

stored rigid fingers «as far as these fingers do not cover the label over its entire height pressing against the object, the pressing of the label on the to be labeled Item completed when pulling the item out of the holder.

With the devices according to the invention, the most varied Objects are labeled. For example, the bracket for receiving cylindrical Cans be formed. Or it can be the holder for holding rectangular sales packages such as matchboxes or drug packs. A preferred field of application of hand-held labeling devices according to the invention However, it arises when cards are used as objects to be labeled and the Holder has the shape of a cross-sectionally U-shaped holding rail. Such cards become diverse used. For example, they can be used in pharmacies to store pharmaceuticals will. The cards are about the size of a Bundesbahn ticket, with about half the area is provided with perforations, whereas part of the other half of the surface is provided with imprints, for example the indication of the respective drug, the manufacturer, the quantity, etc. The punched field is used for the automatic transmission of orders from the pharmacy to a wholesaler via a corresponding

Data transmission device that scans the card and transmits the data to the wholesaler via the telephone network. It is therefore particularly important that it is ensured that the label that is applied to the free Haum the other half does not cover one or more holes, because this would lead to data corruption _o On the other hand, the available free space so small that only relatively small labels can be used and that these labels are applied very precisely to a predetermined location. The hand-held labeling devices according to the invention allow the labels, which are only about 8 to 9 mm high, to be attached while maintaining the desired position with fluctuations that are only on the order of about 1/10 mm.

In preferred embodiments of the invention, the The holder is provided with a stop for the object to be labeled and it is the direction of insertion opposite to the pull-out direction «By using of the stop, it is not necessary to use any buttons, the projections or recesses the object to be labeled. The position of the object to be labeled is positively locked by the the object receiving holder and the stop exactly defined. Since the above-described Hand labeling devices allB labels in the same position loosening from the carrier tape and an interim shift is excluded, is therefore an exact one Positioning the labels on the one to be labeled Item seized

A resilient blocking plate 35, the tangential is attached to the transport wheel 24 on the U-housing, holds This movement fixes the transport wheel 24 and prevents it from turning clockwise »At the same time, the Inking roller 14 rolled over the printing types of the printing unit 17 and into a position at the side of the printing unit 17 brought. The cover 30, the deflecting edge 37 and the contact line 43, on which the label tape the circumference of the Tranaportrades 24 reached, form a triangle, at the two longer ones, an acute angle between each other enclosing the carrier tape 15 is guided along. With the clockwise movement of the rocker around the bolt 8 form the axis of the Bolzens 8 and the attachment line 43 the resting base of this Triangle, whereas the deflecting edge 37, the tip of the Triangle, pivoted upwards; this increases the distance between the deflection edge 37 and the contact line 43 and thus the loop of the label tape formed between the bolt 8, the deflection edge 37 and the contact line 43 greater. This enlargement of the carrier tape loop results a first feed step, during which a label

7247116 04/24/75

is at least partially detached from the carrier tape 15 at the deflection edge 37. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2 ₀ Jindstellung this movement a length of tape from the label is peeled enbanctwickel in this manner, corresponding to approximately half of the total feed step, without that the transport wheel has rotated. In this wiping position shown in FIG. 2 , a label on the printing plate 11 is printed by the printing types of the stationary printing unit against which the label is pressed Tongue 36 of the holder 16 on the transverse web 31.

If the actuating lever 5 is now released, 30 is pivoted the tension spring 26 returns the rocker 9 counterclockwise into its initial position. The snaps Pawl 32 behind the next radial pin 25, presses the carrier tape 15 against the surface of the transport wheel and the transport wheel 24 takes a step With this backward movement of the rocker 9, the second feed step is carried out. Even with this one In the second feed step, the carrier tape is pulled off around the deflection edge 37, because the circumferential stepping motion on the surface of the transport wheel 24 is greater than the reduction in the liner loop · When the liner continues to move around the deflection edge 37 during the second feed step, the label is inserted into the wedge-shaped gap between card 18 and Inserted underside of the pressure member (crosspiece 31).

The card 18 shown in Fig. 4 has a rectangular one The shape and size of a train ticket. Such cards are used in pharmacies Inventory monitoring and used to reorder drugs. The card has a top field 44 with an imprint that includes the name of the drug and the amount of the pack. A lower field is provided with holes 46 which contain the required information in coded form. These holes can scanned by a reader connected to the telephone network and transmitted to a corresponding data processing system of a wholesaler. At the The boundary between upper field 44 and lower field 45 is the price is printed on the upper field. Since the price changes again and again, each time the price changes new cards are used. To avoid this, a label is applied to the price field with in turn, the price is printed. The printing is done with the hand-held labeling device. It is very It is important that the Eti ± cct is in its precisely specified position occupies, so that neither one of the perforations 46 is covered nor any information printed on the upper field 44 is covered will. The label must not have a height of more than 8 to 9 mm, which is for the precise position Attachment means an additional complication, which, however, was overcome with the devices according to the invention.

The device shown in don Fig. 5 and 6 has essentially the same parts as the device shown in Figs. and 2, the same or each other corresponding parts have been given the same reference numerals. In this device, the deflecting edge 37

- 21 -

a greater distance from the pressing member. A comb 52 made of an elastic material is fastened to the front end of the rocker 9j, which protrudes somewhat from the housing in the rest position, as a pressing member so that it can pivot about an axis 51 against the action of a spring. It is also possible, instead of the comb made of elastic material, to attach finger-like members individually to the axis 51 so ^{that they can pivot against 1 spring action.}

The distance between the deflecting edge 37 and the effective pressure line of the comb serving as a pressure member is greater than the height of a label. Because this distance or the ratio of this distance to the height of the label (in the direction of feed) has no influence on the labeling process with the hand-held labeling device described, it is possible to apply labels exactly, the height of which is very small and less than 1 cm. to For this purpose, a slide 40 is attached to the housing below the pressure plate 11 instead of the holder 16 Axis 39 pivotably mounted on which a leg spring engages, which tries to pivot it clockwise. In the position shown in Fig. 5, its front end rests on the lower side of a label 41, which is held by the end of the slide in contact with a guide plate in the area between the deflection edge 37 and the comb 52 on the rocker 9 is attached to connect the two punched parts.

A holder 16 'is attached to the two side walls 1 of the housing and has the same cross-sectional shape like the holder 16 shown in FIG. 3. The holder 16 'also has a pin 38' serving as a stop. on which a card to be labeled 18 comes to rest after being inserted.

The operation of the shown in Figs The hand-held labeling device corresponds to the two-step carrier tape feed the device according to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the end position of the rocker pivot movement, the 6, the slide 40 rests on the underside of the plate forming the deflecting edge 37. If the actuating lever 5 is now released, the tension spring 26 pivots the rocker 9 in a counterclockwise direction back to their original position. The second transport step is carried out in the manner already described. During this return movement of the rocker 9, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, it comes to rest of the hand labeling device according to the invention, the front end of the slide 40 to the adhesive surface of the label, which detaches itself from the carrier tape while the second feed step is being carried out, around the deflecting edge 37 is pulled. During the counterclockwise movement of the rocker 9, the label is moved from the front end of the slide 40, which in the illustrated embodiment is in the middle or slightly behind engages the center of the label, pushed along the guide plate to the comb 52 serving as a pressing member, so that the front end of the label is in the final phase of the pivoting back movement of the rocker under the comb 52 and is pressed against the card 18 by these. This means that at least the front area of the label is on the card pressed on and stuck there. If the card is then pulled forwards out of the device, the will be deleted Comb 52 over the label and also presses the rear area of the label against the card so that the label adheres securely to the card over its full height.

7247116 04/24/75

The slider 40 does not rest with its entire front end edge on the adhesive side of the label 41, but it preferably has two or three projections, for example prong-shaped projections, on its front end, with which it lies against the label. One of these projections lies in the center line of the label tape, where the perforation is also arranged. In the area of this center line, the adhesive labels have no adhesive charge, so that a projection of the slide 40 that engages there does not come into contact with adhesive. It is also possible to provide adhesive-free longitudinal strips for the other projections of the slide 40 as well. In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, too, positionally accurate labeling is achieved because the label is never left to its own devices. At first it still adheres to the carrier tape, while at the same time it is already gripped by the sharp prongs of the slide. It is then always held between the slide and the counter-pressure plate until it is pressed onto the card 18 by the comb 52, whereby it is fixed. The label dissolves when pulling out the card 18 without difficulty from the pusher, as it withdrawn in the direction ^'T IRD in which the prongs have.

In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG the hand-held device with its transport device and rocker corresponds to that shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6 Embodiment. The holder 16 'is designed the same as the holder 16' in the embodiment according to 5 and 6. At the front ends of the rocker 9 is

7247116 04/24/75

- 24- -

the comb 52 made of flexible material is attached. The distance between the deflecting edge 37 and the effective The pressure line of the comb 52 is smaller than the height of the label to be applied. This makes it possible get by without a slide 4-0. The first movement step, in which the rocker 9 is swiveled clockwise, runs the same as in the previously described embodiments. Has the rocker 9 its end position of both When the clockwise pivoting movement is reached, the label to be applied is already at least partially in the area of the space between the comb 52 and the deflecting edge 37 · Then the actuating lever 5 released, the tension spring 26 pivots the rocker 9 counterclockwise into its starting position return. The transport i. leads to already described Carry out a transport step, and the label is advanced so far that its front end is below the comb 52 protrudes, which is in the final phase of the pivoting back movement the rocker 9 presses the front area of the label against the card 18. Has the rocker 9 its shown in FIG When the end position or the rest position is reached again, the rear end of the label is either just off the The carrier tape is detached or still adheres to the carrier tape with its edge region. It is also possible if by A perforation can be used to adjoin labels that the end area attached to the perforation of the label, which has been pressed on with its front part, is already in the space between barely 52 and Uinlenkkante 37 is located. If the labels only adhere to one another through a glue bridge, then appropriately arranged retaining feet can be used Make sure that the label does not fold down prematurely, but only then with the card 18 comes into contact when, upon reaching the rest position of the rocker 9, the comb 52 against the front label area the card 18 presses.

It goes without saying that the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiments shown, but that deviations therefrom are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, it goes without saying that label tapes with unseparated labels can also be used. For example, especially in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, a cutting device arranged between the deflecting edge 37 and the comb 52 can be provided, which separates the label from the label tape when the comb 52 has pressed the advanced area of the label onto the card 18. For example, the cutting device can be designed as a snap knife, which is tensioned when the rocker 9 pivots clockwise and is triggered when the end position shown in FIG. 7 is reached, whereupon it suddenly cuts the label tape under spring action. It is further understood that _i it is also possible to implement the invention to Handetikettiergeräten in which the label is placed in a Vorspendestellung. The holder with the object to be labeled is then moved against this pre-dispensing station and the label is thereby applied. In such devices, the pressure plate and the pressure member are preferably arranged in a fixed manner, and the printing plant is slidably mounted. The feed can be designed in a one-step system or in a two-step system.
