Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a portable labeling machine intended to be actuated with one hand to print selected characters on self-adhesive labels arranged subsequently on a continuous strip and to detach from this strip and stick these labels, as and when they are printed, on selected articles intended for sale.
- Labeling machines suitable for carrying out these operations comprise a housing provided with a handling handle, a printing unit situated in this housing and comprising a printing head with selector of characters and a printing table capable of meeting each other for the typing of selected characters, a step-by-step device for driving a continuous strip carrying labels along a circuit passing over the printing table , a lever-shaped trigger connected to the printing unit and to the step-by-step drive device to cause each actuation to strike the characters selected on a label of the continuous strip and the advance of said strip, a device intended to oppose a second printing on said label before the trigger is released, and a device for separating and distributing the labels of the continuous strip towards the outside of the case to allow the ur fixing by gluing on the articles to be labeled.
- Charcoal or over-inking occurs when the second printing takes place at the same. location where the first and shading or ghosting occurs when the second printing is accompanied or is preceded by a label offset; the latter is mainly due to vibrations generated by the rebound and which can cause separate impressions from one another.
- the causes of rebound are mainly of an elastic nature, and this is true both on trigger trigger labeling machines with uniform pressure by triggering and on direct trigger machines for which the pressure is directly a function of that imposed by the hand of the user. 'operator.
- the damping devices of the labeling machines described in these three documents can only fulfill their role for accelerations and pressures within a necessarily narrow range which is established experimentally to best cover conditions of use estimated to be “normal”. Apart from these conditions, as for example during brutal use, the desired function becomes random. On the other hand, these devices cannot prevent over-inking by prolonged maintenance of the printing pressure, since precisely their anti-rebound function has the effect of maintaining the print head and the printing table one against the other until the trigger is released.
- the labeling machine described in the first of these two publications has an elastic return stop which gives way to the impact of the printing press but whose elasticity is determined to oppose the second printing following the rebound and the pressure of which is assumed to be weaker than that of said impact.
- the labeling machines described in the second publication include organs with opposing elastic actions which their respective functions are to bring the printing table closer to the print head until the moment of impact and to move it away immediately afterwards.
- the return devices of these labeling machines which moreover necessarily require the working mobility of the printing table, suffer from the same limitations as the previous ones relating to estimated pressures and accelerations of use " "and outside of which the desired function becomes random.
- the elastic stop of its return device is scheduled to yield to this pressure.
- these devices require precise adjustment and are sensitive to wear, in particular those comprising members with antagonistic actions, the reliability of which depends on the precision of a tipping point delimiting these actions.
- the object of the invention is to avoid the cited drawbacks of the prior art by proposing portable labeling machines equipped with a device capable of opposing in any conditions of use the second impression consecutive to the phenomenon of rebound, insensitive. to variations in pressures and accelerations of use, of simple structure requiring no fine adjustment and ensuring safe and durable operation, capable of preventing any over-inking resulting from prolonged maintenance of printing pressure, and applicable to all types of portable labeling machines, whether these are with direct or assisted trigger and with printing heads and / or with mobile printing table / s.
- a first form of portable labeling machine is characterized in that the device intended to oppose a second printing comprises, on one side at least of the two elements of the printing unit, of a on the one hand a pusher, a lateral stop and at least one retaining catch arranged on one of the two elements of the printing unit, and on the other hand on the other element of the printing unit, an element rotary whose periphery has at least three arming control fingers intended to be actuated selectively and sequentially by the pusher when typing characters and further intended to come successively and respectively in abutment against the lateral stop and in the notch retainer, and a snap-action return member assembled to said rotary element and subjected to the action of an arming spring to control the rotation of the rotary element, so that at each typing of characters the pusher meets a finger weapon control nt and rotates the rotary element until the next arming control finger meets the lateral stop, until the separation of the two elements of the printing unit by rebound effect said control finger following arming engages in
- a second form of portable labeling machine is characterized in that the device intended to oppose a second printing comprises, on one side at least of the two elements of the printing unit, of a on the one hand a pusher, a lateral stop and at least one retaining catch arranged on one of the two elements of the printing unit, and on the other hand on the other element of the printing unit, a ratchet spring mounted rotatably on a shaft fixed to said other element of the printing unit and arranged in the path of the pusher to be actuated by the latter at each typing of the characters, a reciprocating bolt mounted in a slide rectilinear fixed to said other element and comprising a retaining edge engaged with the spring pawl and a rigid counter-stop intended to come successively to bear against the lateral stop and in the retaining notch, an arming spring forcing said bolt towards the lateral stop and the retaining notch, and a return rod connecting the bolt to a movable member subjected to the action of the trigger to be actuated at
- any new printing following the rebound is positively prohibited by the presence of a rigid spacer element introduced between the head and the printing table immediately after said rebound and simultaneously any over-inking following a holding. prolonged printing pressure can not occur because this spacer is released only after the release of the trigger, at the time of the next strike.
- the contour of the rotary cam 33 has three arming control fingers constituted by three cam lifts 38 equidistant on its periphery and intended to be pushed in turn by the pusher 32 in an anticlockwise direction.
- Each of these lifts 38 has an edge 39 forming a counter-stop intended to come into contact with the stop 29 and to engage in at least one of the two retaining notches 30 and 31 of the part 28.
- the prism 34 integral with the rotary cam, has three bearing faces of the spring 35 each oriented with respect to a lift 38 so that said lift is on the path T of the plunger 32 in the rest position shown in FIG. 1.
- the first phase, of rest, illustrated in FIG. 1, is already described by the foregoing and gives a first lesson on the relative positions of the cam lifts, of the pusher and of the bearing faces of the polygonal prism.
- the second phase illustrated by FIG. 2 corresponds to that of the printing strike of the head 3 on a label of the continuous strip 10 passing over the printing table 8, strike following the actuation of the trigger 13.
- the action of the assisted trigger 13 on the print head 3 and on the drive device 19, by means of the levers 4 and 20, is sufficiently understandable by the drawing to dispense with comments.
- the next phase shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to that of an elastic rebound of the printing head 3 on the printing table 8 subsequent to typing.
- the height position of the retaining notch 30 is defined as a function of the cam lifts exceeding relative to the printing table and of a minimum difference E between the characters 40 and said printing table sufficient for prevent a new impression.
- the second retaining notch 31, located at a lower level, is provided as safety in the event of an exceptional rebound of large amplitude in order to avoid an increase in the shock of the return impact on the first notch 30, but this second notch n is not essential.
- Variations may be made in the production of the retaining device.
- the retaining mechanism comprises a back and forth bolt 330, instead of a rotary cam.
- This retaining mechanism comprises an arming control finger constituted by a spring pawl 380 articulated on a shaft 42 carried by the printing table, not shown, the bolt 330 in question, mounted in a slide 360 of the table d printing and comprising a retaining edge 43 opposite the spring pawl 380 and a rigid buttress 390 opposite the retaining notch 30 of a part 28 similar to that of the previous example, fixed to the print head 3, and also comprising a pusher 32 and a stop 29.
- the bolt 330 is subjected to the pressure of a coil spring 350 and the return member of this mechanism is constituted by a connecting rod 340 connecting the bolt to a movable member subjected to the trigger to be actuated at the end of its travel.
- This link can be produced, for example, by means of a motion reversing lifter, one arm of which is articulated to the connecting rod 340 and the other of which carries a pin engaged in a drawn hole made in the lower part of the lever 20 (FIGS. 1 to 3) .
- the rise of the print head 3 caused by this rebound allows the bolt 330 to engage by its counter-stop 390 under the retaining notch 30, by action of the spring arming 350, and thus keep the printhead apart from the printing table, as in the previous example.
- the connecting rod 340 returns the bolt 330 to the rest position according to the phase shown in FIG. 5.
