Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a portable labeling machine intended to be actuated by hand to print indications of different colors on self-adhesive labels and to paste the latter on articles intended for sale.
  • Machines of this kind which, like that of the present invention, comprise a housing provided with an actuating trigger handle and comprising at least two tilting printheads for printing at least two lines of colored characters different on self-adhesive labels carried by a continuous support strip, a control lever connected to the trigger and, to the printheads for moving the latter, guide slides secured to the housing to guide the tilting of the printheads from a raised inking position to a lowered printing position, a printing table secured to the housing, and at least two ink rollers of different colors arranged in the path of the character lines of the print heads in the raised position of these.
  • These machines also include, as in all portable labeling machines, a step-by-step transport device for the support strip, capable of advancing the latter by a length of label each time the trigger is actuated, and a device for separating and distributing the printed labels from the continuous strip towards the outside of the case to allow their fixing by adhesive pressure on the articles to be labeled.
  • the problem consists in giving the printing device the minimum size and weight while ensuring the selection of the inking of the lines of characters and the quality of the 'impression.
  • the two print heads are independent of each other and traverse two trajectories failover substantially symmetrical with respect to the vertical of the printing impact zone in order to be able to move away from each other in the raised position in order to independently ink their two lines of characters on two ink rollers of different colors and for being able, in the lowered position, to approach each other before this impact.
  • the two print heads are articulated independently by their upper ends at two points spaced from the control lever and are guided independently by their lower ends in two curvilinear slides located on either side of the vertical of the impact zone, in relation to the plane of the printing table.
  • the two ink rollers are at fixed positions inside the housing and also located in spaced apart positions and substantially symmetrical on either side of the vertical in question, at the end of the head-up trajectory. impression.
  • the lower end of the two curvilinear slides is oriented perpendicular to the printing table, in order to avoid any relative sliding between the printing lines and the printing table at the time of impact.
  • the two print heads are mounted and fixed side by side on a fork forming an extension of the trigger for carrying out their path from a raised inking position to a lowered printing position, and the two associated ink rollers are mounted in a retractable support, one end of which is guided in fixed slides while its other end is pivoted at the end two arms, the other ends of which are pivoted on rotary plates each having a channel forming a cam surface.
  • the arms are each provided with a guide groove engaged on a fixed tenon and the channels forming the cam surface of the rotary plates are intended to each engage on a finger fixed to the anterior end of the trigger extension.
  • the objects of the invention are, by a different design for guiding the print heads and for selecting the inking of their characters, to increase the quality of the printing and to reduce the size of the printing device. , while guaranteeing easy access to elements intended to be replaced, checked or periodically manipulated, such as the ink rollers, the printheads and the label support strip.
  • the portable labeling machine is characterized in that the two printheads are mounted and fixed side by side in a common tilting box comprising on at least one of its two side walls a pivot, a drive finger and a guide finger, all three spaced from one another in the order cited, in that the pivot is engaged in a first rectilinear slide and oriented towards the printing table, in that the drive finger is placed in permanent abutment on the control lever, in that the guide finger is engaged in a second slide having an upper part in an arc centered on the upper part of the first slide, considered with respect to the printing table, and a straight bottom part also oriented towards the printing table, in that the two ink rollers are mounted side by side in position corresponding to that of the two printing heads, and in that at least that of these two rollers located on the passage of the two lines of characters of different colors is mounted in an erasable mobile support actuated by an erasing mechanism controlled by the tilting of the tilting housing.
  • the selective inking by erasing at least one ink roller which allows the mounting and fixing of the two printheads in a common tilting case as well as the grouping of the two ink rollers in one place on the circular trajectory of their two lines of characters, makes it possible to reduce by half the space necessary for the tilting of these two heads, since a single tilting trajectory is enough. For this reason also, any possible residual sliding of the lines of characters at the moment of impact is not aggravated by the sum of their individual effects, since these two lines are here immobilized spatially with respect to each other in a tilting common housing.
  • the two printheads are fully supported and guided by fixed slides secured to the machine housing, while the movable control lever acts only as a driving element, press on the drive finger; therefore, the precision of the printing impact is no longer dependent on the functional clearances of said control lever and the quality of printing is improved.
  • the grouping in one place of the two printheads and the two ink rollers gives more ease in choosing the position to give them inside the machine housing to facilitate access.
  • the portable labeling machine represented in FIGS. 1 to 5 comprises a housing 1 provided with a handling handle 2 with an actuating trigger 3 articulated on a pin 4.
  • This machine comprises, in this example, two print heads 5 and 6 with incorporated character selector, mounted and fixed side by side in a common tilting box 7 and intended to print two lines of characters 8 and 9 of different colors on self-adhesive labels carried by a continuous strip 10 coming from a roller 11 housed in the upper part of the housing 1.
  • This assembly is located above a printing table 12 integral with the housing 1 over which the circuit of the continuous strip 10 passes and between the two arms of a control lever 13 intended to animate the tilting and articulated housing 7 pin 4.
  • This lever 13 is here constituted by an extension of the trigger 3.
  • the tilting housing 7 comprises on each of its two side walls a pivot 14, a drive finger 15 and a guide finger 16, all three spaced from one another in the order cited, here from left to right in the rest configuration according to fig. 1.
  • Each pivot 14 is engaged in a first straight slide 17, hollowed out in each side wall of the housing 1 of the machine and oriented perpendicular to the plane of the printing table 12.
  • Each drive finger 15 is placed in permanent support in an end fork 18 of an arm of the control lever 13.
  • Each guide finger 16 is engaged in a second guide slide 19, also hollowed out in each side wall of the housing 1 of the machine and having a top part 20 in an arc centered on the top part of the first guide 17, considered by relative to the printing table 12, and a straight bottom part 21 aligned on the first straight slide 17 and therefore also perpendicular to the plane of the printing table 12 along a straight line D.
  • the actuation of the trigger 3 produces a force applied to the drive finger 15, which has the effect of first of all tilting the tilting housing 7 around its pivot 14 retained in the upper part of the first slide 17 during the travel of the part in an arc of a circle 20 of the second slide 19 by the guide finger 16, then of bringing it down perpendicularly to the printing table 12, until the moment of impact of typing characters on the printing table 12, during a common and equal translation path of the pivot 14 in the first rectilinear slide 17 and of the guide finger 16 in the straight bottom part 21 of the second slide 19.
  • the control lever 13 rises and causes the tilting housing to travel 7 and in the opposite direction the aforementioned trajectory.
  • the two lines of characters 8 and 9 are inked by two ink rollers 22 and 23, of different colors, mounted side by side in position corresponding to that of these two lines of characters and on their trajectory, between the two side walls of an erasable mobile support 24 articulated here by their upper parts by a pin 25 engaged in a bearing, carried by the two walls of the housing 1.
  • the selective inking of the two lines of characters in different colors is obtained by a mechanism for erasing the mobile support 24 established in relation to the tilting box and controlled by the tilting of the latter, which has the effect of avoiding the encounter of the upper character line 9 with the lower ink roller 23 which is not of the color intended for it, both during the descent and during the ascent of the two character lines.
  • This erasing mechanism is here constituted by the association of a cam 26 constituted by an arcuate outline of each side wall of the tilting housing 7, centered on the pivot 14, following a lifting 27 and terminated by a recess 28, a pusher 29 constituted by a projection of the two side walls of the movable support 24 which are for this purpose at the same spacing as the aforementioned walls of the tilting housing 7, and of a spring 30 ensuring the contact of these elements as well as the ink pressure.
  • FIG. 5 The mounting of the two ink rollers 22 and 23 in the erasable mobile support 24 is detailed in FIG. 5.
  • the two walls of this support 24 are connected by a flat bottom 31 and by an upper cross member 32, close to the pin 25, also visible in FIG. 2, on which spring pressure 30 is applied.
  • the two ink rollers 22 and 23 are supported at a fixed distance corresponding to that of the two character lines 8 and 9 of the print heads by a rocker 33 articulated by its middle part on a pivot 34 carried by a removable drawer 35.
  • This drawer has two lateral projections 36 in the form of rails engaged in two slides 37 hollowed out in the two lateral walls of said movable support, as well as a central retaining projection 38, in the form of a spherical cap, engaged in a cylindrical hole 39.
  • An extension 40 of this drawer 35 having a grip imprint 41, forms a grip facilitating its removal and its introduction into the movable support, the elasticity of the flat bottom 31 of the latter allowing the clearance or the engagement of the projection 38 in the hole 39.
  • An end-of-travel stop 42 constituted by a projection of the extension 40, ensures the exact positioning of the drawer in the mobile support.
  • This particular mounting of the two ink rollers which is not essential for ensuring the proper functioning of the printing device described, however has the advantage of distributing the ink pressure equally over the two lines of characters 8 and 9 as well as that of facilitating the replacement of the two ink rollers, without requiring the dismantling of each in situ.
  • the mechanism for erasing the tilting housing 24 can also be constituted by a link of the connecting rod-crank type shown in FIG. 6.
  • this connection as well as the two members which it connects, the tilting box 7 and the mobile support 24, are represented in two configurations differentiated by the thickness of the lines.
  • This connection is constituted by a connecting rod 45 articulated by one end on a crank pin fixed to the tilting box 7, constituted here by the drive finger 15 of this box and by the other end on a second pivot 46 fixed to the erasable movable support 24 instead of the center of curvature of the pusher 29 of the embodiment described above.
  • this connecting rod 45 must be located between the alignment of the side walls of the housing 7 and of the support 24 and the inner face of an arm of the control lever 13, with reference to FIG. 2, this arm being designed apart sufficiently for this purpose.
  • the top dead center corresponds to the desired maximum erasing position of the movable support 24.
  • the articulation points of the connecting rod 45 may be different from those given. The locations of these points will be chosen each time according to the geometric places of encounter and erasure defined by the lever arms of the moving bodies and the trajectory of their active elements.
  • the slide 17 may not be aligned with the lower part 21 of the second slide, but quite simply parallel to the latter on the condition however that the upper part of this slide 17 always constitutes the center of the part 20 in an arc of the second slide 19.
  • This variant can be usefully applied for practical reasons of space, for example.
  • print heads 5 and 6 assembly there may be a slight shift in the point of application of the striking force of this assembly at the time of impact with respect to the two lines of characters 8 and 9, due to the inertia developed by this assembly during its tilting, and which would have the result of differentiating the printing forces applied to these two lines of characters and thereby producing a difference in the intensity of their impression.
