Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand-held labeling device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a hand labeling device is already known from DE-PS 23 45 249.
  • the carrier tape with the self-adhesive labels adhering to it runs from the supply roll arranged on the top of the device inside the device downwards and forwards towards the front lower edge of the device, where it is deflected at the dispensing edge by almost 1.80 ° and then to a close the rear lower edge of the device.
  • the interior of the housing is accessible in the known device only by removing the side walls.
  • the housing side wall must be unscrewed so that the fault can be remedied.
  • the printing unit is also not easily accessible in the known device, so that its maintenance or conversion to other types of printing requires a relatively large amount of time.
  • a device of the type described at the outset is to be designed in such a way that it is very service-friendly and allows a quick changeover of the printing unit or a simple replacement of the printing unit.
  • the printing unit can be pivoted out of the housing with its frame as a separate assembly, so that the interior of the housing and in particular the carrier tape path are freely accessible.
  • a fault caused by jamming of the carrier tape inside the housing can be very easily eliminated in this way, since the carrier tape is freely accessible after the printing unit has been swung out.
  • the printing unit is also freely accessible, so that it can be serviced very easily.
  • a change of printing types or an exchange of the entire printing unit can also be carried out very easily, since the printing unit with its frame is easily detachable from the rest of the device Represents assembly.
  • the hand-held labeling device shown in FIG. 1 contains a housing 1 to which a handle 2 is attached. Below the handle 2 there is an operating lever 3 which can be pulled against the handle 2 by hand to actuate the device; the operating lever 3 rotates about the axis 4. Inside the housing 1, a drive gear 5 is rotatably mounted, which is only shown schematically with broken lines. This' drive gear 5 is rotated via a drive connection, not shown, from the operating lever 3 when it is pulled against the handle 2. When the operating lever 3 is released, it returns under the action of a spring, not shown, back to its starting position of FIG. 1, whereby the drive gear 5 rotates in the opposite direction.
  • the drive gear 5 is in engagement with a tooth segment 6, also shown only schematically, which is non-rotatably connected to a printing unit 7.
  • the printing unit 7 is rotatably mounted about an axis 8. If So the drive gear 5 rotates, due to its engagement with the toothed segment 6, the printing unit 7 also rotates about the axis 8.
  • a curved body 16 is formed on the lower edge of the shaft 12, the purpose of which will be explained below.
  • the shaft 12 may ig about a fixed axis connected to the housing 1 in 17 from the F. 1 position shown in the position shown in Fig. 2 are pivoted upwards. In the position shown in FIG. 1, the shaft 12 is held in place by means of a latching device 18.
  • the carrier tape 15 with the self-adhesive labels 14 adhering to it runs downward from the supply roll 13, and it is guided between the printing unit 7 and the printing roller 10 to a dispensing edge 19 on which the self-adhesive labels are located 14 due to the strong kinking of the carrier tape 15 detach from this.
  • 1 shows a self-adhesive label 14 detached from the carrier tape 15, which in a dispensing position is located below a pressure roller 21 which can be rotated about an axis 20.
  • a transport device ensures that the carrier tape 15 is moved during a work cycle, that is to say during the pivoting of the operating lever 3 against the handle 2 and the return of the operating lever to the starting position shown in FIG. 1, in such a way that a self-adhesive label 14 is moved from the printing unit 7 printed and is then brought into the dispensing position shown in FIG. 1 below the pressure roller 21.
  • the printing unit 7 is mounted in a frame 22 which can be pivoted out of the housing about the axis 20 of the pressure roller 21 from the position of FIG. 1 into the position of FIG. 2.
  • the frame 22 consists of two side parts 23, of which only one can of course be seen in the side views of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a connecting rod 24 extends between the two connecting parts 23; the axis 8 of the printing unit 7 also extends between the two side parts 23.
  • the connecting rod 24 forms, together with the cam body 16 on the shaft 12, a pressing device which holds the printing unit 7 in the position shown in FIG. 1 when the shaft 12 is held in the position of FIG. 1 by means of the latching device 18.
  • the cam body 16 is shaped so that it exerts a downward force on the connecting rod 24 in the position of Figure 1, so that the frame 22 is held with the printing unit 7 without play, while it after pivoting the shaft 12 about the axis 17 lies in the position shown in FIG. 2 outside the circular arc described by the connecting rod 24 when the frame 22 is pivoted about the axis 20 of the pressure roller 21.
  • the frame 22 with the printing unit 7 can therefore only be moved from the position of FIG. 1 to the position of FIG. 2 after the shaft 12 has been pivoted into the position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the gear connection provided for driving the printing unit 7 from the gear 5 and the toothed segment 6 is engaged in the position of FIG. 1, while the engagement in the position of FIG. 2 is not present.
  • a spring clip 25 is provided which has a leg 26 connected to the frame 22 and a leg 27 connected to the housing.
  • a locking device which prevents the printing unit 7 from rotating about the axis 8 in the position of FIG. 2.
  • This locking device includes a nose 28 attached to the printing unit circumference 7 and a pawl 29 which is loaded by a spring 30 in such a way that it attempts to rotate clockwise about an axis 31 in the representations of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the pawl 29 is pushed back so far against the action of the spring 30 by a pin 32 firmly connected to the housing that it lies outside the path which the nose 28 describes when the printing unit 7 rotates.
  • the spring 30 illustrated position 2 rotates the latch 29 in the in Fig., In which the lug 28 abuts against the pawl 29, so that the printing unit 7 is not about the axis 8 can turn. This ensures that the relative position of the gear 5 and the toothed segment 6 is not changed when the frame 22 is pivoted out of the housing 1 and when it is pivoted back.
  • the printing unit 7 can also be held in a defined basic position by means of a torsion spring (not shown) when the printing unit 7 is pivoted out of the housing 1.
  • a torsion spring can also be used to prevent the printing unit 7 from being inadvertently rotated in the pivoted-out position and from assuming a position when it is pivoted back, in which the correct engagement of the gear 5 and the toothed segment 6 is not guaranteed. Since the torsion spring holds the printing unit 7 in the defined basic position, the tooth connection is certainly properly engaged when the printing unit 7 is pivoted back into the housing 1.
  • torsion spring for holding the printing unit '7 in a defined basic position also has the advantage that the printing unit 7 can be rotated in the pivoted-out position against the force of the spring so that the printing types are easily accessible for control and cleaning purposes.
  • a torsion spring 33 designed as a helical spring is wound around the axis 8 of the printing unit 7 and engages with the end 8 with the axis 8 and with the other end 35 with the printing unit 7.
  • the end 34 is supported on a pin 36 attached to the axis 8, while the end 35 is supported in a recess 37 in the printing unit 7 on an inner surface of this recess 37.
  • the torsion spring 33 exerts a force on the printing unit 7, which prestresses the printing unit 7 clockwise in the illustration of FIG. 1.
  • the basic position is determined by a stop 38 attached to the printing unit 7 and a slot 39 provided in the frame 22, which runs along an arc around the axis of the printing unit 7.
  • the length of the slot determines the maximum rotational path of the printing unit 7.
  • the stop 38 and the slot 39 are in the Figures 1 and 2 shown, the printing unit 7 is in the home position.
  • the path through which the carrier tape 15 with the self-adhesive labels 14 runs from the supply roll 13 to the dispensing edge 19 is easily accessible from the front of the housing when the printing unit 7 is pivoted out of the housing 1. Should the carrier tape 15 have become jammed in the interior of the housing or should a self-adhesive label 14 have detached from the carrier tape 15 in the device prematurely, then such malfunctions can be remedied very quickly due to the free accessibility of the housing interior. Since the frame 22, apart from the easily removable spring clip 25, is connected to the housing 1 only on the axis 20 of the pressure roller 21, it can be completely separated from the housing 1 without great effort.
  • the printing unit This enables the printing unit to be replaced easily if, for example, self-adhesive labels with a different font are to be printed with the device. Because of the good accessibility of the swung-out printing unit, the printing types attached to the printing unit circumference can also be cleaned very easily.
