  • the invention accordingly provides a labelling machine of the kind described characterised in that the printing head is a thermographic printing head by which labels of heat sensitive material can be printed, the machine having electric means for controlling and energising the thermographic printing head.
  • control means can comprise a keyboard for input of selected data into a microprocessor providing outputs for the thermographic printing head, and a switch operable as by means of a push button to effect printing of the selected data onto a label.
  • the feed mechanism can comprise rollers drivable by an electric motor, preferably a stepping motor.
  • the motor can be powered by the same electric power source as the printing head and can be under the control of a signal derived from the microprocessor in response to operation of the switch.
  • the machine can be provided with a data register for receiving and storing information relating to useof the machin, and at least one of display means for display of the stored information andoutput means for transfer of the stored information to an external computer or data storage means, for use in stock control and/or accounting procedures.
  • the machine is-arranged for printing and dispensing labels from. a continuous strip thereof, and a sensor can be provided for optically or mechanically detecting spaced markings on the strip and supplying in response thereto signals to the microprocessor to adjust the feed mechanism to obtain registration of the printed data with the individual labels of the strip.
  • the machine can be provided with an input to the microprocessor in addition to the keyboard for input of data which is to be printed on each label together with the selected data.
  • part of the information can be invariable or prearranged, in not being directly under the users control, the selected part being selected by the user to relate to the particular articles being labelled.
  • the label can be printed with the name of the store as well as the article price.
  • the machine can also be aranged to print each'label. with a bar code or the like for mechanical reading if . desired.
  • the machine of the invention can be arranged to print more than one line of alpha-numeric or other symbols.
  • the prior art labelling machine described in the introduction employ labelling material comprising a strip of sheet materal having pressure sensitive adhesive on one side, and a backing strip overlying the adhesive, the strip of sheet material having equispaced transverse cuts or lines of weakness defining labels therebetween, and the backing strip being separable to permit securement of each label to an article.
  • labelling material of this kind in which the strip of sheet material has on the other side thereof a dye responsive to heat to change or display colour.
  • the labelling material for use in a machine of the invention having the optical or magnetic detecting means mentioned above, can be provided with an optically or magnetically detectable markings-on the strip of sheet material or the backing strip in predetermined relation to the divisions between the labels.
  • edges of the labelling machine can be notched or otherwise shaped to co-operate with the feeding mechanism of the labelling machine of the system, but the mechanical complications of such arrangements can be avoided in accordance with the invention by means of this last mentioned feature.
  • the labelling machine illustrated comprises a housing 1 shaped with an opening to provide a handle portion 2 at its upper right hand side as shown in figure 1.
  • the housing interior provides space for reception of an electric energy source in the form of one or more batteries 3, with door means (not shown) permitting replacement thereof.
  • the energy source may instead be a rechargeable power pack in which event terminals are provided for recharging as by connection to the mains supply.
  • a magazine 4 Centrally of the housing 1, there is located a magazine 4 for labels to be printed and dispensed by the machine.
  • the labels are provided in a form of a rolled strip,5 of paper or other thermographic material which is led by a feed mechanism generally forwardly from the magazine to a thermographic printing head 6, and a dispensing position.
  • Door means (not shown) in the housing 1 permits ready replacement of the rolled label strip 5 when exhausted and convenient threading of the free end of the strip through the feed mechanism.
  • the paper strip 5 is led upwardly from the periphery of the roll by guide means 7 and is then turned through 180 0 to travel past an optical sensing means 8 the nature and function of which will be described below.
  • the paper strip is then engaged between a drive roller 9 and an idler roller 10 of the feed mechanism and emerges from the nip of these rollers to advance forwardly to between the printing head 6 and a print support 11.
  • the print support 11 may include a support roller. In either event, the print support is shaped to bring the strip in engagement with heatable elements of the thermographic print head.
  • the strip After printing at the printing head 6, the strip continues forwardly out of the housing 1 to beneath a dispensing roller 12, by which it can be wiped on to an article to be labelled.
  • the paper strip is preferably self-adhesive, that is, it carries an adhesive layer on the surface opposite that which is printed, and this adhesive layer is initially covered by a backing strip 14 which must be separated from the label strip 5 itself before this can be applied to an article.
  • the print support 11 is provided with a relatively sharp edge around which the backing strip 14 is turned rearwardly back into the machine to be received between the drive roller 9 and a second idler roller 15. From these rollers, the backing strip 14 is fed rearwardly and downwardly outwardly of the machine through an aperture in the housing 1.
  • the drive roller 9 is driven by electric motor 16, which can be a stepping motor, accommodated at the front of the housing above the dispensing roller 12.
  • the machine operates under control of electronic circuitry, shown schematically in figure 2, located at the top of the housing 1 beneath a keyboard 19 provided with push-buttons 18 by which data can be entered into the circuitry.
  • the machine is actuated by means of a push button operated main control switch 20 positioned rearwardly of the keyboard so that it can be pressed by the thumb of an operator holding the machine with his fingers around the handle portion 2.
  • the machine of the invention can incorporate a solenoid operated escapement drive for the label strip.
  • the illustrated labelling machine operates under the control of the electronic circuit arrangement shown in schematic block diagram form in figure 2.
  • a microprocessor 21 Central to the circuit is a microprocessor 21 which is preferably a single silicon chip including within its monolothic structure a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), instruction registers, address registers, a central control logic section, and data and input and output means.
  • the microprocessor 21 receives inputs from the keyboard 19, the push-button switch 20, and from the sensor 8. It provides outputs to a step motor drive control unit 22 which effects operation of the step motor 16, and to the printing head 6.
  • the circuit includes a clock 24 arranged to provide a pulse train for co-ordinating the operations carried out within the microprocessor.
  • the printing head 6 is a solid state thermographic printing head, but a hot needle or a thick or thin film thermographic printing head could be employed.
  • the printing head 6 comprises a plate mounting a matrix or array of protruberant printing elements, together with connections to line driver circuit elements 25, 26 and dot driver element 27, connected to'receive signals from the microprocessor 21.
  • the microprocessor 21 is arranged to supply to the driver elements 25, 26 and 27 signals such that certain heating elements of the printing head, selected in dependence on a programme established by operation of the keyboard 19, receive currents sufficient to heat these elements to a temperature at which colour is developed or changed on the label strip 5 over the small area in contact with the heating elements.
  • the printing head may carry twelve groups each comprising seven rows each of five heating elements, so that a twelve character line can be printed at the time.
  • the stepping motor 16 advances the label strip by such an amount that the area of the paper on which the next line of characters is to be printed is in engagement with the printing element matrix.
  • the printing head can comprise any appropriate number of heating elements, the numbers of connections to the head 6 shown in figure 2 being merely illustrative.
  • the printing head can be arranged to print characters composed of a dot matrix in any desired combination and to print any number'of characters sequentially or simultaneously in a line or column as desired.
  • the label strip 5 comprises a length of paper or plastics material 28 having coated on one surface a suitable heat sensitive coating 29 which changes or develops colour in response to the application of the heat.
  • the strip material 28 is coated on the opposite side with a layer 30 of adhesive material to provide a self adhesive or pressure sensitive coating.
  • Laminated on to the adhesive layer 30 is a paper or plastics backing strip 31 coated with an adhesive resistant surface in engagement with the adhesive layer, so that the backing strip can be readily peeled away.
  • the laminated label and backing strips are separated off into label portions all of equal length, by lines of weakness or complete or partial transverse cuts 32 made in the label strip only.
  • an ink strip or other mark preferably in exact coincidence with each cut 32 is printed either on the label or on the backing strip.
  • the ink strip is such that it can be read by the optical sensor 8 in the machine.
  • a magnetic strip or other mark can be provided for detection by a magnetic sensor in the machine. Either arrangement permits the sensor to provide a signal to the microprocessor so that the feed of the label strip can be adjusted to correct for any departure from registration of the printed information with the longitudinal edges of the label portions.
  • the illustrated labelling machine is primarily intended for the labelling of articles in stores and supermarkets, and the information to appear on labels dispensed by the machine comprises at a minimum the price of the article.
  • the user Before printing and applying a batch of labels, the user operates the keyboard 19 to set up in the microprocessor a programme for printing the desired price information on each label of the label strip 5.
  • the price selected is stored within the microprocessor 21, and each time the operator actuates the main push-button switch 20 a printing and dispensing cycle is performed, by which a label printed with the selected price appears below the dispensing roller, 12.
  • the microprocessor 21 supplies to the driver elements 25, 26 and 27 signals for energising selected heating elements in accordance with the stored printing programme determined by the user. Printing of the desired price information on the label is thus effected.
  • the microprocessor then supplies a signal to the motor control unit 22 to energize the motor 16 to advance the strip 5 until such time as the next ink strip on the strip is detected by the sensor 8.
  • the resultant signal to the microprocessor 21 causes this to stop energisation of the motor so that advance of the strip ceases.
  • the positions of the sensor 8, the printing head 8, the support 11 and the roller 12 along, the path of the strip 5 are such that the printed label is now beneath the roller 12 with the backing strip 31 peeled away over about 95% of the length of the label and the cut 32 separating the printed label from the next following label of the strip is at the position of the leading edge of the now printed label before the cycle began.
  • the printed label can be applied to an article and the push button switch 20 pressed again to start another cycle.
  • the labelling machine of the invention can be provided with many advantageous facilities beyond the capacity to print a single line of price information.
  • the labelling machine so far described can readily be adapted to print information additional to the readily adjustable price information put into the machine by operation of the keyboard 19.
  • the price information will of course normally contain one or more fixed elements, in the form of symbols identifying at least the major unit of the currency in which the price is expressed.
  • additional information can comprise further variable or selected information present by the user by means of the keyboard 19 or by other means less readily accessible than the keyboard, for example the machine can be provided with an input means 23 not normally available to the operator which can be reached or rendered operative only by opening the housing 1 or by use of a key.
  • fixed information to be printed may be determined on manufacture of the machine.
  • the fixed or invariable additional information can comprise for example the name of the vendor or a sales slogan.
  • the additional variable or preset information can include for example unit price data, information as to the nature of the article (for example, its weight or volume or the number of items packed within it), and calendar information (for example, the date of packaging, the date by which the article should be sold or used, or the date by which a warranty on the article expires).
  • the label can be printed with alpha numeric data identifying the article in some suitable code, for stock control purposes.
  • the label may also be printed with data relating to the article coded in a bar code, for reading electrically or optically, as at a check-out counter, the information being fed into a automatic cash register and/or into a computer for stock control purposes.
  • the labelling machine of the invention and the label strip it uses can also be readily modified to obtain a label printed in two colours.
  • the single dye coating 29 of the surface of the label strip 28 is replaced by three layers of coating material.
  • the heating elements of the printing head 6 are arranged to be heated selectively either to a higher or to a lower temperature. If a heating element receives current such that it is heated only to the lower temperature, the heat transferred to the label strip is sufficient to develop the colour of the outermost layer only. If the current supplied is sufficient. to raise the temperature to the higher level, not only is the colour in the outer layer developed, but so is the colour in the innermost layer.
  • the intermediate layer is also responsive to this level of temperature to permit flow of the activated dye from innermost to the outermost layer, so that a second colour different from that of the outermost layer on its own appears at the coated surface of the strip.
  • the microprocessor 21 can be readily adapted to effect printing of a label with a plurality of lines of information in different colours, or even to print in different colours on a single line.
  • the circuit illustrated in figure,2 can if required include additional data register means 34 as shown, for totalling the number of labels printed with a particular item of selected data.
  • the additional data register 34 may have the capacity for accumulating a plurality of totals each representing the number of times for which the machine has been used to print labels bearing respective different items of information.
  • Information thus stored can be displayed at command on the machine by means of a digital display 35 provided on the keyboard for stock control and/or accounting purposes, . and/or conveyed from the machine to a computer interface by means of a suitable plug and socket connection 36, for the stored data to be used in a computerised stock control and accounting system.
  • the digital display on the machine can be constituted by liquid crystal or light emitting diodes, or a gas discharge display.
  • the machine can instead be incorporated in a check weigher, the price information printed on the label being derived from the measured weight of a package, and the known price per unit weight, as calculated by the check weigher.
  • the label material is advantageously made self adhesive, in this way so that it can be attached by the adhesive to the article to be price labelled, it is also within the invention to provide labelling material which can be subsequently attached to an article by means of a thread or string or metal or plastics staple.
