Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process and apparatus for cutting from a continuous tape such elements as labels, tags, stickers or the like (which will be hereinafter referred to as labels for simplicity) as soon as it has been printed by a printing device.
  • the above specified object has been accomplished by providing that during a given translation step of the printing head transversely of the tape, such a head activates a cutting means mounted thereon, thus cutting during said translation step.
  • the relative apparatus is provided with a cutting means mounted on the printing head, which may have two positions, that is a non-cutting and a cutting position.
  • said cutting means may comprise a cutting roller collaborating with a counter-blade.
  • a pressure means is also provided and comprises an actuating pressure wheel integral with the cutting means; it assures the blocking or clamping of the tape during the cutting operation and rotatably drives said cutting roller.
  • Another preferred approach provides an auxiliary driving roller immediately before the printing device; it draws the label support, avoiding an even slight bending thereof.
  • the peripheral speed of this auxiliary driving roller is slightly larger than the speed of the main driving roller; thus, the silicone support or backing of the label slides on the auxiliary driving roller.
  • a first embodiment provides that the cutting device mounted on the printing head can be moved to the cutting position and respectively moved back to the non-cutting position by an electromagnet carried on the head.
  • a cutting means 2 is provided, only schematically shown in Fig. 1 and in two versions thereof in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, 5, respectively.
  • a driving roller 16 is located immediately before the printing head 1 and rotates at a faster peripheral speed than that of the main driving roller 14, so that said driving roller 16 slightly slips on the backing of tape 10 and maintains the label tape always perfectly taut in front of the printing table 15.
  • An idle counter-roller 17 is located over the auxiliary driving roller 16 and performs the function of causing said tape 10 to adhere to roller 16.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show the cutting means at two different operating positions: Fig. 2 shows the cutting means at the non-cutting position, while Fig. 3 shows the cutting means at work.
  • the cutting means 2 comprises a roller 21 providing the actual cutting when collaborating with the counter-blade 3.
  • An actuating pressure wheel 22 is integral and concentric with said cutting roller 21 so as to press on tape 10 and, as a result, exert a clamping action thereon, while at the same time it rotates said cutting roller 21.
  • Roller 21 and wheel 22 are rotatably mounted on a lever 23 pivoted at 24, which lever is operated by an electromagnet 5. This can lift said roller 21, so that said tape 10 can move forward on the printing table 15 and counter-blade 3.
  • the electromagnet 5 can also shift said lever 23 so that the cutting roller 21 adheres to the counter-blade 3 for cutting.
  • the cutting wheel 22 adheres on the surface of tape 10 and by adherence rotates and causes the rotation of the cutting roller 21.
  • the printing head 1 effects a given stroke for printing the label or the like and a longer stroke, longer than the width L of the label (Fig. 4) when cutting.
  • FIGs. 4 and 5 Another embodiment for the activation of the roller has been shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
  • the cutting roller 21 and activating pressure wheel 22 made as above described are mounted on an arm 23 pivoted at 24.
  • the activating means for the cutting roller is made up by external cams 31 and 32 moving the cutting means 21 from one position to another as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the two possible positions for the cutting roller 21 are made stable by spring 33.
  • two springs 33 will be provided, located on both sides of lever 23.
