Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automatic dispensers for labels taken from a tape on a supply roll, intended in particular to equip franking machines.
  • the franking tape can be initially incised, the segments between incisions constituting successive labels.
  • the ribbon is then carried by a support strip from which the labels are easily detachable one after the other.
  • the support strip is intermittently driven to feed the successive labels defined on the ribbon which it carries under the print head; after printing the labels, a separating element, giving the support strip a guide path having a large radius of curvature, allows their easy separation from the support strip.
  • the labels taken from such a ribbon are of unique length given by the pitch between them. initial ribbon incisions. They cannot therefore be dimensioned at will to receive a single stamp or a stamp accompanied by an advertisement for printing, while having just the right length.

  • This advance of the ribbon over one of the desired label lengths carried out by selection between the cams assigned to these lengths to be released respectively, leads to a relatively complex and bulky drive mechanism.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser for labels taken from a continuous ribbon, with a simpler and more reliable ribbon drive mechanism and which allows a high flow rate.
