  • the tape running path is defined by two rigid troughs 3 and 4.
  • the trough 3 defines an inlet 5 on the upper half-shell 1 of the chassis, it is fixed by screws such that 6 at the level of this inlet 5 on the half-shell 1.
  • the chute 4 defines on the lower half-shell 2 of the chassis an outlet 7 for labels, holding rods 8 and 9 engaged in lugs provided on this chute and this half-shell ensure its attachment to the half-shell 2.
  • These two chutes 3 and 4 are bent to occupy in the dispenser substantially the height and width of the chassis.
  • the other two ends of the troughs 3 and 4 are connected to the inside of the chassis by a knife 10, with a fixed blade 11 and a movable blade 12, interposed between them.
  • This knife 10 is held by screws such as 13 on the upper half-shell 1 of the chassis.
  • Its fixed blade 11 is mounted on a support 14 of U-shaped section, with a semi-circular bottom having a window 15 under the fixed blade 11 for the passage of the ribbon.
  • Its movable blade 12 is of semi-section circular; it is fixed to the ends of a support 16, leaving a gap between it and its support over the length of the window 15.
  • This blade 12 and its support 16 form an assembly pivotally mounted in the support 14 and an auxiliary support 17 with latching lugs 18 which snap onto lugs in relief externally on the branches of the U-shaped support 14.
  • This support 17 also has a window 20 to the right of the window 15 for the passage of the ribbon.
  • Driving means ensure the driving of the tape and the labels on this running path.
  • These means comprise, on the part of the path defined by the chute 3, a roller 25 on one side of this chute and two pressure rollers 26 and 27 on the other side of the chute, this roller and these rollers come through suitable windows, not shown, in the walls of the chute, to be interposed on the path to allow the ribbon to drive.
  • the roller 25 is mounted integral in rotation on a transmission shaft 30 fixed by bearings 31 forming a hooking ring on the upper half-shell 1 of the chassis.
  • the two pressure rollers 26 and 27 are mounted to rotate freely on a support cradle 28 held resiliently on the lower half-shell 2, to apply the rollers against the roller 25.
  • the drive means also comprise, on the part of the path defined by the chute 4, a roller 35 and two associated pressure rollers 36 and 37 arranged on either side of the chute and coming through suitable windows in the chute , not shown, cooperate for the drive of labels cut from the ribbon.
  • This roller 35 and the rollers 36 and 37 are mounted in a similar manner to the previous assembly.
  • the roller 35 is integral in rotation with a transmission shaft 40 which carries it, fixed by bearings not shown forming hooking ring on the lower half-shell 2 of the chassis.
  • the two pressure rollers 36 and 37 are mounted to rotate freely on a support 38 held elastically on the lower half-shell to apply the rollers against the roller 35.
  • the two shafts 30 and 40 carrying the rollers 25 and 35 for driving the ribbon and the labels are coupled to each other.
  • These coupling means have been reported in dotted lines in FIG. 1 although they are arranged in the distributor in front of the section planes of this figure. They consist of a toothed belt 41 engaged between a toothed pinion 42 at the end of the shaft 40 and another toothed pinion 32 at the end of the shaft 30, for the transmission of movement from a shaft to the 'other.
  • the travel path defined by the chute 4 is barred by the curved end of a finger 45 which can be erased by the single press of the end of the ribbon.
  • This finger 45 is mounted parallel to the chute on an arm 46. In the absence of a ribbon, the curved end of this finger engages through the facing windows 47 and 48 provided in the walls of the chute 4 forming an obstructable tilting erasable on the ribbon path.
  • the length of the running path between the knife 10 and the end of this finger 45 is equal to a first chosen length of labels.
  • This shaft 50 extends parallel to the movable blade 12 of the knife 10. A coupling between one end of this shaft 50 and one end of the blade 12, or its support 16, of the connecting rod-crank type as such known and not known shown, allows actuation of the knife 10 from the shaft 50.
  • the part carried by the shaft 40 also ensures manual loading of the ribbon into the device and cooperates with the control mechanism mounted on the arm 46 for positioning the ribbon.
