Definitions

  • the invention relates to a type carrier set according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for assembling a stamp printing unit using such a type carrier set.
  • stamp printing units the printing types are applied in successive fields on the outer surface of type carriers.
  • a type carrier set which consists of several individual type carriers.
  • a type carrier set usually contains several identical type carriers, with which the numbers 0 to 9 and characters such as a period, a dash or an oblique dash can be printed, as well as an or several other type carriers with which currency information such as "DM" or the like. can be printed.
  • the type carriers are usually kept in storage boxes, and to assemble the stamp printing unit, the type carriers are removed from the storage boxes and put together to form the type carrier set required for the printing unit. The individual type carriers of the set can then be inserted one after the other into the printing unit to be assembled.
  • the individual insertion of the type carrier in the printing unit to be assembled is a time-consuming process, in which there is also the risk that confusion between the different types of type carrier occurs, so that the desired impressions cannot be produced with a finished printing unit, because the type carrier, for example, in one are inserted in the wrong order.
  • the invention has for its object to produce a type carrier set of the type described so that it is comfortable and time-saving to use from the start in a stamp printing unit.
  • the individual type carriers are not loosely separated from one another, but are connected to shearable connecting webs.
  • the entire type carrier set can therefore be treated as a unit and as such can also be used during assembly in the corresponding housing half of the stamp printing unit. Since the type carrier in the carrier set is already required for use in the stamp printing unit Chen order are arranged, there can be no confusion of the individual type carriers, which facilitates assembly.
  • the type carrier set explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing consists of several movable, endless type bands, but it could also be rigid type wheels, which like the bands are connected to one another by shearable connecting webs.
  • the type carrier set 10 shown in FIG. 1 contains eight type bands 12. This means that with this type carrier set 10 characters can be printed with up to eight digits.
  • the leftmost type band shows print types 20 for the numbers 1, 2, 3 ... 0 as well as for a hyphen and for an oblique dash.
  • the first three type bands from the left can be the same, while behind each number of the fourth type band from the left there is a decimal point that separates the mark amounts from the penny amounts.
  • the fifth and the sixth type band from the left are again designed like the first left type band shown.
  • the two rightmost type bands can either have smaller print types used as code numbers, or they can also carry currency information such as "DM".
  • the described special composition of the type carrier set from FIG. 1 is only an example; any other order of the type tapes with any type of printing can also be selected.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the type strips is divided into fields 16 of equal length, between which there are grooves 18.
  • Each field 16 of the half of each type band 12 lying on the left in FIG. 2 bears a printing type 20.
  • Each field 16 of the half of each type band 12 lying on the right in FIG. 2 bears a clear character 22 which corresponds exactly to the diametrically opposite printing type.
  • the type tapes 12 of the type carrier set 10 are connected to connecting webs 28 that hold the type tapes 12 hold together in the parallel arrangement shown.
  • These connecting webs 28 are located in the grooves 18, which are provided between fields 16. More precisely, the connecting webs 28 extend between the bottom of the groove of a type band 12 and the bottom of the groove of the adjacent type band 12. However, a different position of the connecting webs is also possible.
  • the individual type bands 12 Due to the connection via the connecting webs 28, the individual type bands 12 form a tube-like structure, the width of which essentially corresponds to eight times the width of a type band.
  • the distances between the individual type tapes 12 are shown in Fig. 1 much larger than in reality, so that the connecting webs can be seen in the drawing. In fact, the side faces of the individual type bands 12 are much closer together.
  • the stamp printing unit contains two housing halves 30 and 32 which can be connected to one another via snap hooks 34.
  • an adjusting shaft 36 is rotatably supported, over which a slotted sleeve 38 is pushed.
  • Driver teeth 40 attached to the end of the adjusting shaft 36 engage through slots 42 in the sleeve 38 beyond their outer circumference.
  • On the end section 44 of the setting shaft 36 there is a window support 46 and an operating button 48, with the aid of which the setting shaft 36 can be rotated and axially displaced.
  • the window carrier 46 is also shifted axially, and the driver teeth 40 slide axially along the slots 42 in the sleeve 38.
  • Eight adjusting wheels 50 are seated on the sleeve 38, which have grooves 52 on their inner circumferential surface, into which the driving teeth 40 of the adjusting shaft 36 engage.
  • the driving teeth 40 can be brought into engagement with grooves 52 of a setting wheel 50.
  • each of the dials 50 can be rotated in turn by turning the operation knob 48.
  • the setting wheels 50 are also provided on their outer peripheral surface with grooves 54, into which projections 56 attached to the inner peripheral surface of the type strips 12 engage. In this way, the type tapes can be moved over the engagement between the driving teeth 40 and the grooves 52 and the engagement between the grooves 54 and the projections 56.
  • the type tapes 12 of the type carrier set 10 are placed around the setting wheels 50 in the printing unit, and they also encompass a pressure web 58 located on the lower end face of the housing half 32.
  • the corresponding plain text character 22 is visible through a window 59 in the window carrier 46.
  • the pressure web 58 is attached to the lower end of a support element 60 which is integrally connected to the housing half 32.
  • the carrier element 60 has a shell-like recess 62 in which there is a rubber strip 64 and a helical spring 66.
  • the rubber strip 64 and the helical spring 66 together have such a height that the helical spring 66 protrudes upward from the recess 62 and comes into contact with the adjusting wheels arranged above it.
  • the coil spring 66 exerts a limited holding force on the setting wheels, which counteracts their rotation. If a dial by turning the setting shaft 36 by means of the operating button 48 is rotated, the operator feels a latching force, which must be overcome in order to gradually adjust a type tape so that one type of print after another comes to rest under the pressure web 58.
  • the stamp printing unit can be screwed, for example, to the printing unit carrier of a hand-held labeling device.
  • the corresponding screws can be inserted through holes in the housing halves 30 and 32 and screwed into threaded holes in the ends of the square piece 68.
  • the setting shaft 36 is first inserted through a corresponding opening in the housing half 30, whereupon the window carrier 46 is pushed over the end section 44 of the setting shaft 36. Then the operating button 48, which is made of a rubber-like material, is also pushed over the end section 44, so that the window support 46 is held on the adjusting shaft 36.
  • the setting shaft 36 can be moved axially in the opening in the housing half 30 together with the window carrier 46 by means of the actuating button. A complete pulling out of the housing half 30 is, however, not possible because of the driving teeth 40.
  • the sleeve 38 is pushed over the setting shaft 36, care being taken that the driving teeth 40 slide along the slots 42 in the sleeve 38.
  • the rubber strip 64, the coil spring 66 and the square piece 68 are inserted into the recesses 62 and 70 of the housing half 32 provided therefor.
  • the housing half 32 is held in a holder so that the inside shown in FIG. 4 protrudes upwards.
  • the coil spring 66 is in contact with the grooves 54 on the circumference of the setting wheels 50. So that the helical spring 66 does not interfere with the insertion of the setting wheels into the housing half 32, it is pressed into the recess 62 by means of an assembly tool 71 so that it does not protrude beyond the opening area 72 thereof.
  • This assembly aid tool 71 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. It consists of a handle part 74 to which a pin 76 and a locking pin 78 are attached. The pin 76 is inserted into the interior of the coil spring 66, whereupon the coil spring 66 is pressed against the rubber strip 64 such that it no longer projects beyond the opening area 72.
  • the locking pin 78 is spaced from the pin 76 such that it engages under the base 80 of the recess 62 when the rubber strip 64 is compressed. As a result, the rubber strip 64 remains compressed even after the handle part 74 has been released so that the coil spring 66 no longer protrudes from the opening region 72 of the recess 62.
  • the individual setting wheels 50 are now stacked on top of one another on a corresponding holding pin in a number corresponding to the number of type tapes 12 to be used.
  • the type carrier set 10 is placed around the stack of adjusting wheels 50.
  • the operator detects the type carrier set 10 in the area in which it is stacked on the circumference of the stack th dials 50 abuts so that he can move the entire stack together with the type carrier set 10 to the housing half 32.
  • the type carrier set 10 and the stack of setting wheels 50 are inserted into the housing half 32 in such a way that the setting wheels come to rest in the area of the annular space 82 shown in FIG. 4 in the upper part of the housing half 32.
  • the type tapes 12 of the tape set 10 are placed around the pressure web 58. Subsequently, the assembly tool 71 is removed from the housing half 32, so that the rubber strip 64 relaxes and brings the circumference of the coil spring 66 into contact with the setting wheels 50.
  • the preassembled housing half 30 is pushed onto the housing half 32, care being taken that the driver teeth 40, which protrude outwards from the slots 42 in the sleeve 38, engage in grooves 52 in the inner circumferential surface of the adjusting wheels 50.
  • the end of the sleeve 38 comes to lie in the annular groove 84 provided in the housing half 32, so that the sleeve 38 is supported.
  • the snap hooks 34 finally engage in corresponding recesses, not shown, in the housing half 32, so that the housing halves 32 are held firmly together.
  • the assembly of the printing unit shown in Fig. 3 is now complete.
  • a first step in automation can be that the setting wheels 50 automatically one above the other in a special device for forming the required stack be arranged and that the type carrier set 10 is placed around this stack. Furthermore, it is then possible to clamp the type carrier set 10 around the stack of the adjusting wheels 50 into the shape shown in FIG. 3, so that it can then be inserted into the housing half 32 with the aid of an appropriate transfer tool.
  • the transfer tool can contain a mandrel which engages in the inner cavity of the coil spring 66 and presses it when inserting the setting wheels and the type tape set into the housing half 32 in the recess 62 and against the rubber strip 64 so that it does not impede the insertion of the type wheels 50 .
  • the preassembled housing half 30 can then be assembled with the housing half 32 either manually or automatically, as before.
  • the result of the described assembly method is a printing unit which has all the individual parts shown in FIG. 3, but it is not yet functional, since in the inserted type carrier set 10 the individual type bands are still connected to one another by the shearable connecting webs 28.
  • the individual type tapes 12 of the type carrier set 10 must first be separated from one another. This is done in that the driving teeth 40 of the adjusting shaft 36 are brought into a drive connection with all adjusting wheels 50 one after the other and that the adjusting wheel 50, with which the driving teeth 40 are currently connected, is rotated by means of the actuating button 48.
  • the connecting webs 28 are sheared off between the type tape 12 which is being guided around the just turned setting wheel 50 and the adjacent type band, so that the type tape 12 which is just being moved can be moved freely with the driven setting wheel 50.
  • the coil spring 66 with the support of the rubber strip 64 exerts a limited holding force on the setting wheels, which counteracts their rotation. If, at the end of the assembly process, the connecting webs are sheared off by turning the adjusting shaft 36, this holding force ensures that several type bands 12 do not rotate, so that the desired shearing does not occur.
  • those adjusting wheels 50 and the type belts 12 which are in engagement with them stand still, which are adjacent to the respective adjusting wheel 50 to be rotated, so that the force required for shearing can be exerted on the connecting webs.
  • the person performing the shearing can simply hold the neighboring type tapes with his fingers. In this way, all connecting webs 28 are sheared off one after the other, until finally all type bands 12 are independent of one another and can be moved individually.
  • the printing unit is fully operational, like a printing unit in which the type tapes have already been inserted separately from one another.
  • the remains of the connecting webs 28 remaining on the type tapes 12 have several advantageous effects. They ensure that a certain distance is kept between the type tapes 12, which makes spacers used in stamp printing units previously used superfluous.
  • the web remains prevent the type tapes from shifting on the setting wheels and may come into engagement with an adjacent setting wheel, which would have the consequence that two type bands move at the same time if a band is to be adjusted by means of the setting shaft. Maintaining the spacing between the type tapes also results in a good printed image of the overprints produced by the printing unit, since uniform spacing between the individual characters is achieved.
