Definitions
- the invention relates to a feed device for various endless forms, each grouped in rolls or stacks, for feeding to a printer of a data processing system, the rolls or stacks being arranged one below the other and / or next to one another in such a way that the individual endless forms can be pulled flat upwards next to one another .
- a feed device for stacked continuous forms is already known from US-A-2 587 827, from which the continuous forms are fed to a printer.
- the feed device consists of a box with vertically or horizontally arranged compartments, in each of which a stack of continuous forms is arranged.
- the continuous forms are either pulled up out of the vertical compartments or laterally out of the horizontal compartments and fed to a printer.
- it is necessary to reach into the respective compartment and to grasp the end of the endless form located in the compartment in order to then thread it into the printer.
- Picking out a continuous form from one compartment when moving from one continuous form to another is an uncomfortable handling, especially when a compartment from the stack in question is almost completely filled, since in this case there is little space around the end in question of the continuous form by hand.
- a stacked continuous form feeder has become known which is either to quickly make a new stack available when a stack is used or to move from one stack to another provided.
- the arrangement in question works with a carousel that has space for two stacks.
- the continuous form is subtracted from one stack, while the second stack is kept on hand on the carousel. Its end is initially held by a spiked roller. If either a stack has now been used up or if the continuous form of the provided stack is to be fed in, the carousel is rotated, which thus brings the provided stack into the position for pulling off the continuous form.
- the end of the continuous form in question which is held by the spiked roller, is then folded up to the feed devices of the printer, which then draws in the continuous form.
- the individual webs are each guided around a movable roller, all of the rollers being attached to a common mechanism which actuates the rollers together in such a way that after the webs have been folded around the rollers and have been combined on the table, all the rollers are common sam perform a lateral movement, through which all the sheets lying on the table are stretched.
- the individual webs are pressed against individual plates by the rollers and thus held in their position.
- the characteristic feature of this device is that there is no individual handling of continuous forms, as is the case with the operation of a printer in a data processing system, when this has to be fed with different continuous forms and has to be switched from one continuous form to another during operation .
- the device acc.
- US-A-1 610 599 permits only the joint handling and labeling of all continuous forms wound on and removed from a single roll, so that this device would therefore not be usable for the operation of a printer with successively individually provided continuous forms and also with respect to this mode of operation does not provide any suggestions.
- the invention has for its object to largely avoid the back and forth transport of rolls or stacks of continuous forms and to provide a plurality of continuous forms so that they can be inserted into the printer in a particularly simple manner, especially if one continuous form is to be transferred to another. According to the invention, this is done by arranging above the rollers or stacks a guide device provided with slots for the passage of an endless form and holding the threaded endless forms individually within reach, with one slot preventing a slipping down of the respective continuous form, but enabling its entry into the printer Holding device is provided.
- the last processed continuous form tape above the holding device is cut off, its remainder is removed from the printer, and the continuous form tape required for the next function is pulled out of the guide device and threaded into the printer.
- the individual continuous form tapes are thus readily available in the guide device, each held by the holding device, and can be threaded into the printer easily and above all without moving the relevant stack or the relevant roll as required. It is a work that can be done very quickly on the one hand and on the other hand practically does not burden the operating personnel. It is only necessary to transport a box or roll when a stack or roll of an endless form has been used up. In this case, a new roll or a new stack must be inserted at the point in question, from which point the relevant continuous form belt is then to be inserted into the guide device and the holding device.
- the feed device according to the invention has the advantage that no movement of the stacks or rolls has to be carried out when changing from one continuous form to another. As a result, switching from one continuous form to another can be very quick.
- the endless forms are readily available with their ends so that they are easy to grasp.
- the endless forms stand out slightly above the guide device and are therefore also in terms of their characteristics, eg. B. Form of printing, immediately recognizable.
- the guide device is expediently let into a table which is connected to the printer, in particular carries the printer.
- the stacks or rolls are advantageously deposited below the table top of the table, from where the individual endless form belts are then fed to the slots in the guide device.
- the holding device can be designed as an eccentrically mounted shaft which, due to its gravity, bears against a wall of the slot in question, the continuous form being pulled up along this wall and pushing the shaft away from the wall when it is pulled off.
- the trigger can not be hindered by the shaft, but the pressure of the shaft against the wall, the intermediate continuous form tape is pressed against the wall, so that when it is not threaded into the printer, by the guide device due to its Gravity cannot slide back.
- the shaft can also be constructed from individual parts per slot, in particular from two parts on the two edges of the continuous form belt.
- the holding device is conveniently placed in a slot, so that in the case of the use of a table and the guide device embedded in it, only the ends of the available continuous form tapes protrude from the table top in question and can easily be fed individually from here to the printer by hand.
- the holding device is advantageously provided with the presence of an endless form mulars testing signal generator.
- this signal generator indicates the presence of the continuous form, the feeder is fully operational.
- the signal generator reports this consumption, which can prevent the printer, for example, from writing on an empty roller.
- the signal generator can stop the printer as soon as the consumption of an endless form is determined.
- the shaft of the holding device can advantageously be equipped together with the guide device as the switching contact forming the signal transmitter. Then, when the end of an endless form tape is pulled through the holding device, the shaft comes to bear against the wall of the slot in question of the guide device and thus closes the contact.
- the shaft can be stored in an electrically insulated manner and the wall of the slot in question can be placed at an appropriate electrical potential. But it is of course also possible that a separate insulated contact pin is provided in the wall.
- a table with the table top 1, a support 2 and a foot 3 is shown, on the table top 1, the printer 4 of a data processing system, here designed like a teletype, stands.
- the brackets 5 are arranged on the side of the support 2, on which the cartons 6 with the endless form belts 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are placed.
- one of the consoles 5 has remained free.
- the endless form belts 7 are combined in the boxes 6 as a stack of folded endless form belts.
- the endless form belts 7-12 are individually guided upwards next to the carrier 2 below the table top 1, in such a way that their flat sides face each other in parallel. In this relative position, the endless form belts 7-12 are threaded through the guide device 13 which is embedded in the table top 1 and which is provided with corresponding slots 14 for this purpose. Holding devices, not shown, are provided in the slots 14, which will be discussed in greater detail in connection with FIG. 2. Then, above the guide device 13, the endless form belts 7-12, provided that they are not threaded into the printer 4, are a few centimeters high, so that they are readily available at all times. In the operating case under consideration, the endless form belt 7 is threaded into the printer, which runs through it in a known manner and is then fed out again. It is deposited behind the printer 4 on the part of the table top 1 provided for this purpose. It is therefore expedient to provide a correspondingly large table top 1 for the operation under consideration.
- the continuous form tape 7 threaded into the printer 4 is cut off along a tear-off point above the guide device 13, and the rest of the continuous form tape is removed from the printer 4 and the endless form tape necessary for the next function, for example the endless form tape 8, is pulled through the guide device 13 and threaded into the printer 4, which can then label this endless form tape.
- the transition from one endless form belt to the other is therefore very simple and does not involve any movement of the cartons 8 which, in the exemplary embodiment under consideration, are accommodated below the table top 1 in a space-saving manner.
- the guide device 13 is shown in section. It is inserted into the table top 1 and has the slots 14 which are separated from one another by the walls 15.
- the shafts 16 are mounted, on eccentric axes 17, so that due to the weight of the shafts 16 there is a tendency for the shafts 16 to contact the right-hand side of the respective slot 14 under the action of gravity .
- the endless form belts 7 to 12 are now pulled through, which are pressed under the effect described above by the shafts 16 against the relevant wall of the slot 14. In this way it is prevented that cut off continuous form tapes 7-12 above the guide device 13 due to their weight can slide back through the slots 14.
- the shafts 16, which form the holding devices here readily allow the endless form belts 7-12 to be pulled upwards out of the guide device in the direction of the arrows, since the shafts 16 stand out somewhat from the walls of the slots 14 in question.
- the shafts 16 together with the walls 15 in question form a switching contact which is closed when a shaft 16 is in contact with the wall of the slot 14 in question.
- the shafts 16 are mounted insulated and are made of metal, as is the guide device 13.
