Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a labeling device is known from US-A-4,273,046.
  • the paint roller sits in a support frame which is attached in the manner of a dovetail connection to a holder which is finally connected to the swivel bracket.
  • the inking device thus consists in addition to the paint roller from two other components that are axially displaceable relative to each other to the paint roller, which means that the paint roller is only indirectly connected to the swivel bracket, namely via a dovetail connection, which is independent of the attachment of the carrier to the swivel bracket remains displaceable in the axial direction.
  • the invention has for its object to design a labeling device of the type described above so that the ink roller holder can perform its function in the labeling device with a secure fit during the movements carried out in the course of an actuation cycle with a very simple construction and thus inexpensive manufacturing possibility, without thereby reducing manageability is affected when changing the color roller.
  • the development characterized in subclaim 2 has the purpose that, under the action of the forces acting on the paint roller holder and the paint roller in a normal operating cycle, there is a particularly effective engagement between the web of the paint roller holder and the at least one projection and the additionally attached at least one hook, so that there is no unintentional loosening of the paint roller holder from the swivel bracket.
  • the development according to subclaim 4 serves to detach the paint roller from the paint roller holder.
  • the development of claim 5 it is achieved that the paint roller holder at the predetermined kink is not damaged by excessive kinking.
  • the labeling device shown in FIG. 1 has a housing 1 to which a handle 2 is attached. On the upper side of the housing there is a shaft 3 for receiving a supply roll 4 of a carrier tape 5 with self-adhesive labels 6 adhering to it.
  • the carrier tape 5 runs in the device from the shaft 3 first downwards and then after a deflection on a roller 7 forward to a dispensing edge 8 , on which the carrier tape 5 is deflected and guided past a schematically illustrated transport device 9 to the rear end of the housing.
  • a pressure roller in the housing 1 10 rotatably mounted about an axis 11, with which a label 6 'detached from the carrier tape 5 at the dispensing edge 8 and in the dispensing position can be stuck onto an object by rolling off the pressure roller 10.
  • An operating lever 12 is mounted below the handle 2 and is rotatably mounted about an axis 13. Between the handle 2 and the operating lever 12 there is a spring 14 which always tries to push the operating lever 12 into the rest position shown in FIG. 1.
  • a printing unit lever 15 In the housing 1 there is also a printing unit lever 15, which is also rotatably mounted about the axis 13.
  • This printing unit lever 15 carries a printing unit 16, by means of which a self-adhesive label 6 located on a printing table 17 can be printed.
  • a spring 19 is attached between an arm 18 of the operating lever 12 and the printing unit lever 15 and serves to transmit a movement of the operating lever 12 directed against the handle 2 to the printing unit lever 15. In the rest position shown in FIG. 1, the printing unit lever 15 is held in the raised position by a lug 20 on the operating lever 12.
  • a swivel bracket 21 is rotatably mounted about an axis 22.
  • a torsion spring 23 is placed, which is supported at one end on the swivel bracket and at the other end on a stop 24 fixed to the housing.
  • the torsion spring 23 exerts a force on the swivel bracket 21 which attempts to rotate the swivel bracket 21 counterclockwise about the axis 22.
  • the swivel bracket 21 carries a ink roller holder 25, which holds an ink roller 26, by means of which printing types 27 located on the lower end face of the printing unit 16 can be inked. Details of the swivel bracket 21 can be seen in FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7, while details of the paint roller holder can be seen in FIGS. 8 to 13.
  • the swivel bracket 21 has two parallel arms 28, 29 which are connected to one another by a web 30 at one end. At the lower end of the web 30 there is a tongue 32 divided by a slot 31. The side edges of the tongue 32 are designed as guide strips 33, 34. Furthermore, two projections 35, 36 are attached adjacent to the slot 31 in the lower region of the two parts of the tongue 32. At the upper end of the tongue 32 two hooks 37, 38 are attached on both sides of the slot 31.
  • journal 39, 40 At the upper ends of the arms 28, 29 there are two journals 39, 40, the axes 41, 42 of which lie on a common line. These two journals 39, 40 are used in the labeling device of FIG. 1 in recesses in the side walls of the housing 1, so that the axis 22 is fixed in this way, about which the pivot bracket 21 can be pivoted in the labeling device.
  • the paint roller holder 25 shown in FIGS. 8 to 13 partly in complete views and partly in section has two arms 43, 44 which run parallel to one another and are connected to one another by a web 45.
  • gripping surfaces 46, 47 are attached to the outside of the arms 43, 44, which have a corrugated surface.
  • grooves 48, 49 are recessed, the shape of which is complementary to the shape of the guide strips 33, 34 of the tongue 32 on the swivel bracket 21.
  • the color roller holder 25 can therefore be pushed radially from below to the pivot axis 22 over the tongue 32, the guide strips 33, 34 and the grooves 48, 49 coming into engagement.
  • the web 45 has two symmetrical halves which are connected to one another by an arch-shaped bridge 50.
  • the bridge 50 extends over the entire height of the web 45.
  • the bridge 50 forms a predetermined kink, which causes the ends of the arms 43, 44 located at the top in FIG. 8 to spread apart when opposing compressive forces are exerted on the gripping surfaces 46, 47 will. So that the kinking of the web 45 does not go so far when the application of such pressure forces that the web 45 breaks off at the bridge 50, two limiting tabs 51, 52 are attached to the web 45 on the side facing away from the bridge 50 and extend over the entire web height that run parallel at a predetermined distance from each other. Due to the attachment of these limiting tabs 51, 52, the web 45 can only be bent by exerting pressure on the gripping surfaces 46, 47 until the limiting tabs 51, 52 touch. A further kink would only be possible by applying an excessive force.
  • the paint roller 26 consists of an absorbent roller body 55, which is impregnated with a printing ink, and of two disks 56, 57 which adjoin the roller body 55 laterally and from whose outer surfaces two axle journals 58, 59 protrude.
  • the ink roller 26 can be stored in the ink roller holder 25 by inserting the axle journals 58, 59 into the incisions 53 in the arms 43, 44 and pressing them into the bearing recesses 54.
  • the bearing recesses 54 are dimensioned such that they allow the ink roller 26 to rotate freely about the axle journals 58, 59.
  • the axle journals 58 and 59 are securely seated in the bearing recesses 54, so that the ink roller 26 cannot fall out of the ink roller holder 25.
  • the arms 43, 44 To Ent Far from a paint roller 26 from the paint roller holder 25, the arms 43, 44 must be spread so far apart by exerting pressure on the gripping surfaces 46, 47 that the axle journals 58, 59 come out of engagement with the bearing recesses 54. The ink roller 26 then falls out of the ink roller holder 25. This procedure must be carried out if a used paint roller is to be exchanged for a new one.
  • Fig. 14 shows how the ink roller holder 25 is inserted in the swivel bracket 21 and is held by the projections and hooks.
  • Fig. 3 shows how the disks 56, 57 abut the housing of the printing unit 16 and keep the roller body 55 at a distance from the housing when the printing unit 16 is completely lowered onto the printing table 17.
  • the swivel bracket 21 is pivoted so far that the lower end of the tongue 32 protrudes from an opening in the end face of the housing 1 of the labeling device, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the transport device 9 Via a lever connection, not shown, the transport device 9 has been moved simultaneously from the position shown in FIG. 1 in the direction of the printing table 17 along the carrier belt 5.
  • the spring 14 moves the operating lever back into the starting position shown in FIG. 1, the nose 20 pivoting the printing unit lever 15 back into its illustrated starting position clockwise in the axis 13.
  • the transport device 9 is also moved back into its starting position shown in FIG. 1; during this movement, however, it is firmly engaged with the carrier tape 5, so that it is pulled around the dispensing edge 8 by a distance corresponding to the length of a self-adhesive label.
  • a self-adhesive label detaches from the carrier tape and reaches the position of the self-adhesive label 6 'below the pressure roller 10.
  • the self-adhesive label 6' can now be stuck onto an object by rolling the pressure roller 10.
  • the operator brings the swivel bracket 21 into the position shown in FIG. 3 by pulling the operating lever, in which the tongue 32 protrudes on the end face of the housing 1 of the labeling device.
  • the operator can pivot the swivel bracket 21 even further out of the opening made in the front face of the housing, so that finally the ink roller holder 25 and the ink roller 26 are located outside the housing 1. So that the swivel bracket 21 remains in this pivoted position when the tongue 32 is released, the elevations 60, 61 shown in FIG.
  • the swivel bracket 21 can be swiveled out of the opening on the end face of the housing 1 via the elevations 60, 61, but the force of the torsion spring 23 is not sufficient to swivel it back into the housing.
  • the swivel bracket 21 thus remains in a position in which the paint roller holder 25 can be easily removed from the swivel bracket 21 for the purpose of replacing the paint roller 26.
  • the ink roller holder is held on the swivel bracket 21 by the cooperation of the projections 35, 36 and the hooks 37, 38 with the web 45.
  • the paint roller holder 25 is seated with a relatively large amount of play between the projections 35, 36 and the hooks 37, 38, so that it can be easily pulled down from the tongue 32 by the operator.
  • the operator only has to rotate the ink roller holder 25 a little counterclockwise in the view of FIG. 14 so that the rear surface of the web 45 slides over the projections 35, 36 and the ink roller holder 25 can thus be removed from the swivel bracket 21.
  • the ink roller 26 can then be removed from the ink roller holder 25 by exerting pressure on the gripping surfaces 46, 47 and thereby spreading the arms 43, 44 and replaced with a new ink roller.
  • centrifugal forces acting on the ink roller 26 and the ink roller holder 25 occur during the pivoting movement of the swivel arm 21 about the axis 22 during the course of an operating cycle, which centrifugal forces attempt to displace the ink roller holder 25 in the direction in which it also removes from the swivel arm 21 must be moved.
  • the connection between the ink roller holder 25 and the swivel bracket 21 must therefore be at least so firm that the forces which occur do not lead to the ink roller holder being released from the swivel bracket 21.
  • the swivel bracket 21 is equipped with two inclined surfaces 62, 63, of which the inclined surface 63 in FIG. 6 can be clearly recognized in its course. The end face of the printing unit 16 comes into contact with these inclined surfaces when it is lowered by actuating the operating lever 12 and the ink roller holder 25 is removed from the swivel bracket 21.
  • the pivoting of the swivel bracket 21 caused by the interaction of the inclined surfaces 62, 63 with the printing unit 16 is not sufficient, however, to swivel the swivel bracket 21 to the front side of the housing 1 so that the operator can easily grasp the tongue 32.
  • a stop 64 is attached to the printing unit lever 15, which comes into engagement with a nose 65 on the pivot bracket 21 when the printing unit lever 15 is lowered, so that when the printing unit lever 15 is lowered further, the pivot bracket 21 pivots out of the housing 1 as far as possible until it assumes the position shown in FIG. 3, which it would also assume if the ink roller holder 25 and the ink roller 26 were present. The operator can thereby grasp the swivel bracket 21 on the tongue 32 and bring it back into the position in which the ink roller holder 25 can be easily pushed onto the tongue 32.
  • the labeling device described thus contains a coloring device for the printing types of the printing unit, which allows simple and convenient replacement of the used ink roller and which nevertheless holds the ink roller holder firmly and securely on the swivel bracket 21, so that unintentional detachment of the ink roller holder 25 from the swivel bracket 21 is excluded .
