Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a portable labeling machine intended to be actuated with one hand for printing and sticking labels on selected articles intended for sale.
  • Certain known labeling machines capable of performing this function include, like that of the present invention, a housing provided with a handling handle, a printing unit and a printing table situated in this housing and capable of meeting each other for the typing of selected characters, a step-by-step drive device for a continuous strip carrying self-adhesive labels along an internal circuit passing over the printing table and comprising a transport frame for said continuous strip, a lever-shaped trigger connected on the one hand to the printing unit to cause with each pull the typing of the characters chosen on a label of the continuous strip and on the other hand to the transport chassis to cause each release of the advance of said continuous strip by a step corresponding to the length of a label, a device for separating and distributing the labels of the continuous strip towards the outside of the housing to allow their r fixing by gluing to the items to be labeled and a device for retaining the continuous strip of labels, with periodic action, arranged on its circuit in front of the printing table and of the separation and distribution device for retaining it between its successive movements in advance, which
  • the labels On the label-carrying strip, generally consisting of a ribbon with an icy or paraffinized surface, the labels form a continuous series, each of them separated from the previous one by a more or less pronounced cutting line intended to facilitate its tearing off after bonding on the item to be labeled and when the machine is removed by the operator to go to the next item.
  • the retaining device of these labeling machines consists of a brake lever actuated by the trigger.
  • the end of this lever carries a brake shoe pressed by a uni-directional continuous action spring on the label strip and against a rear extension of the printing table by the trigger release movement, and released from this support by its pulling movement.
  • a retaining device is also known, described in German patent No. 3,017,843, in which the braking action is gradually released until cessation during the pulling of the trigger, which already constitutes an improvement but does not solve the problem in an absolute way.
  • a retaining device is known, mounted on the labeling machine described in the French patent application published under No. 2351 863, in which a brake shoe, fixed to an arm mounted on a pivot is mounted.
  • the precision of the synchronization of the release time of the brakes thus constituted with the duration of the transport of the strip by the transport chassis after each labeling operation cannot be perfectly guaranteed in mass production; in the choice of tolerances, a certain margin of safety is therefore applied in the direction of a slight increase in the time of release of the brake compared to the duration of transport of the strip, rather than in the other direction.
  • the latter n not being retained by the brake can be driven over a greater or lesser distance depending on the amount of traction resulting from this tearing, causing a shift in the printing of the characters on a certain number of subsequent labels, before this distance is not absorbed by the movements of the transport chassis.
  • This phenomenon also occurs, but to a lesser extent, when the removal of the label occurs during the time of the aforementioned safety margin applied to the duration of the release of the brake.
  • the main object of the invention is to avoid these two constraints.
  • the portable labeling machine is characterized in that it comprises a hooking means controlled by the trigger to be moved initially in a first direction towards the brake shoe when pulling the trigger , to hook said brake shoe without moving it at the end of said traction, and to be subsequently moved in a second direction opposite to the first when the trigger is released by driving the brake shoe to move it away from the band d 'tags against the action of the spring, and a means for releasing the hooking means to release the latter from the brake shoe and simultaneously allow the elastic return of this shoe under the action of the spring against the label strip at the end of said trigger release, so that the brake shoe remains continuously pressed against the label strip throughout the pull stroke on the trigger and during the striking of the c characters on the label.
  • the operation of the brake of this device for retaining the label strip is only linked to the process of transporting the strip, which ensures optimal synchronism of the time when the brake is put out of service with that of the duration of the transport of the strip without requiring recourse to manufacturing tolerances which are too tight for mass production of the machine as well as strips of labels.
  • This type of connection also makes it possible to eliminate any influence of untimely pressure on the trigger during the bonding and tearing-off phase of a label, since any movement of the transport chassis back to empty between its two positions limit switch caused by such pressure has no influence on the braking of the label strip.
  • This interceptor 32 is intended to cooperate with the brake shoe 28 at each stroke of transport of the label strip to synchronize the duration of the deactivation of the braking with the duration of said transport.
  • this interceptor is shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the transport frame 22 is in the form of a small box guided in its rear part, on the right in the drawing, by two side fingers 34 engaged in two slides 35 of the side walls of the box 1, and driven in its part. before by the two lateral arms of the lever 23 already mentioned and which carry a shaft 36 passing through said chassis.
  • the interceptor 32 and a drive shoe 37 are articulated on the shaft 36.
  • the rear part of the interceptor 32 and the drive shoe 37 are subjected to the action of a spring 38 which has the effect of pressing the first named against the upper wall of the chassis and the second against hooking elements 39 projecting from the bottom of said chassis.
  • the interceptor 32 is in top view (fig. 3) in the form of a fork, the two branches of which comprise at their ends and on their internal faces the gripping and release elements 33 already mentioned. These two elements are in the form of inclined protruding bars and are intended both to intercept, to grasp and to release the body of the brake shoe 28.
  • This brake shoe 28 comprises a shoe 45 also offset from the roller.
  • abutment 30 in order to present a re-entrant braking trajectory on said roller; it further comprises on each of its two lateral faces an inclined plane 46, made visible in partial section of said shoe in FIG. 3, and a drive ramp 47, these two elements being intended to facilitate the gripping and the driving of said shoe by the interceptor 32.
  • the width E of each of the two ramps 47 of shoe 28 and the projection of each of the two gripping elements 33 of the interceptor are chosen to be substantially equal and arranged in alignment with the trajectory of the transport chassis, the two inclined planes 46 of the shoe 28 are arranged on the trajectory of the two gripping elements 33 of the two branches of the interceptor 32, and these must have sufficient elasticity to deviate from the meeting of these two inclined planes and to close behind said shoe, in the position shown in FIG. 4.
  • Figs. 2, 4 and 5 illustrate four significant phases in the operation of the retaining device which has just been described.
  • FIG. 2 shows the rest phase as shown partially in fine dotted lines, the release phase of the brake shoe 28 by the interceptor 32, FIG. 4 shows the phase of gripping of said shoe by said interceptor, and FIG. 5 shows the training phase of this shoe by this interceptor.
  • the transport frame 22 moves with the interceptor 32 which is associated with it in the direction of the brake shoe 28.
  • the non-return shoe 41 (fig. 4) retains the continuous strip 13 pressed on the pad 40
  • the drive shoe 37 releases the latter from its retained on the hooking elements 39 and the brake shoe 28 remains pressed on the stop roller 30, the latter preventing any movement of the continuous strip 13 on the printing table 11, in accordance with the desired goal.
  • the device is thus ready for the phase of transport of said continuous strip 13 with a step of advance corresponding to a length of label, while its braking is always ensured by the braking shoe 28.
  • the transport chassis 22 moves in the opposite direction, in the direction indicated by the arrow f 2 in FIG. 5, the gripping elements 33 of the interceptor 32 meet the ramps 47 of the brake shoe and drive the brake shoe in this movement, thereby releasing the braking of the continuous strip 13 on the thrust roller 30, at the same time as said continuous strip is gripped by the driving shoe 37 by pressure on the hooking elements 39 of the transport frame 22.
  • the printed label 48 is released from the strip 13 and advances under the presser water. 27.
  • the brake-interceptor assembly will be oriented from bottom to top instead of from left to right, the shoe 28 directed in the opposite direction and bearing on the printing table 11 which would act as the stop 30 and the interceptor 32 fixed on the support lever 4 of the printing unit and oriented in the same way towards said shoe.
  • This design of the retaining device being independent of the type of animation of the printing unit can be applied both to non-assisted direct trigger labeling machines as well as to machines comprising a mobile printing table 11 in work associated with a mobile or fixed printing unit 3.
  • the illustrated mounting of the brake shoe 28 in a tilting support 12 carrying the printing table 11 is advantageous because it greatly facilitates the switching on of the continuous heree 13 at the same time as the control of said shoe, but this feature is not not essential and this shoe can be mounted on a pivot carried by the housing 1 of the machine, for example on machines that do not have a folding support of this kind.
  • the type of mobility of the brake shoe 28 can be different from a pivoting. It can in particular be movable by translation.
  • the action of gripping and releasing the interceptor 32 can be obtained by another means than that described for the elasticity of the two branches of a fork.
  • this action can be obtained by a system of engagement and disengagement by cam of a pivoting latching arm articulated to the transport frame 22 and in which the cam is concealed during the movement of said chassis.
  • the structure described has the advantage of simplicity over this variant.
  • the stop roller 30 cooperating with the brake shoe 28 may be of a different nature.
  • transport chassis 22 shown as an example being indifferent to the action of the interceptor 32, the latter can be associated with all known types of chassis, whether these are independent or integral with a drive lever such as lever 23.
