Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for labeling tape cassettes according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a device of this type is known, which is intended for labeling the tape cassettes by means of normal labels, such normal labels being characterized in that they each completely one of the wide side surfaces of the tape cassettes substantially completely, of course with the release of the cover the respective openings for the cassette drive.
- the known labeling device is preferably intended for the use of labels to be provided with adhesive in the preparation station.
- tape cassettes no longer stick normal labels of the type described above, but only one or two strip labels, which run parallel to the longitudinal edges of the tape cassette on only one side of the openings for the cassette drive.
- the strip labels are designed to be self-adhesive and glued to a paper or the like carrier tape.
- the arrangement of the strip labels on the carrier tape has so far been such that they are arranged in the longitudinal direction, that is, parallel to the direction of advance of the carrier tape, this arrangement also being used in known self-adhesive normal labels.
- a disadvantage of this arrangement of the self-adhesive strip labels on the carrier tape is the consumption of carrier tape material.
- the known devices do not offer the possibility of being able to glue tape cassettes with different strip labels or normal labels in a simple manner.
- the invention has for its object to set up the generic device for using self-adhesive labels.
- the device according to the invention ensures the greatest possible saving on carrier tape and strip label material, the application of self-adhesive strip labels and, preferably, optionally also self-adhesive normal labels on tape cassettes at high clock speed.
- US-A-3 888 724 a device was already known in which a label transferred from a carrier tape to a label holder and held by the latter by a suction surface is aligned by an adjusting device engaging on its side edge, but this publication is not a suggestion refer to the combination of features according to the invention.
- the measure according to the invention of being able to glue the strip labels transversely to the direction of advance of the carrier tape due to the design allows enormous savings in carrier tape material to be achieved.
- the device according to the invention is extremely flexible and permits the optional sticking of tape cassettes with strip labels at different levels as well as the optional use of normal labels. Overall, the installation and operating costs for tape cassette-labeling operations etc. can be drastically reduced in this way, the advantages of the device in terms of reliability and high clock speed corresponding to those of the generic device.
- the device according to the invention has a transport chain 10 for tape cassettes 12 which moves from right to left (in the exemplary embodiment shown) and which stands upright on the transport chain 10 by means of cams 14 rising from a supply magazine 16 two label applicators are supplied, each of which has two rotary heads 22, 24 and 26, 28, respectively, which are arranged with a vertical axis of rotation.
- Each of the rotary heads 22, 24, 26, 28 has three label holders 30 on its circumference, which are provided with suction surfaces and centering pins 32 which are tangential with respect to the respective rotary head 22, 24, 26, 28.
- each of the rotary heads 22, 24, 26, 28 are in the direction of rotation (indicated by an arrow) one behind the other a strip label feed station 36, 38, 40, 42, an alignment station 44, 46, 48, 50 and one pair each with respect to the other Transport chain 10 of mutually opposite rotary heads 22, 26 and 24, 28 associated labeling stations 52, 54 with the application point downstream pressure rollers 56, 58 arranged.
- each of the strip label feed stations 36, 38, 40, 42 self-adhesive strip labels 60, each of which is stuck on a carrier tape 62 transversely to its direction of advance, which is directed toward the respective rotary head 22, 24, 26, 28.
- FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 in that there are only two rotary heads 22, 26 located opposite one another with respect to the transport chain 10, each of which has two strip label feed stations 36, 38 and 40, 42, successively in the direction of rotation, a subsequent normal label feed station 64, the normal labels 66, is also designed to be self-adhesive and can be fed onto a normal label carrier tape 68 transversely to its direction of advance, and can be assigned to the alignment station 50.
- the alignment station 44 there has a plunger 70 which is movable both vertically and horizontally in the direction of the arrows and which is provided with two alignment projections 72, 74 arranged vertically one above the other, each of which is assigned to a strip label 60.
- the strip labels 60 sit on the label holder 30 at different heights, the latter having an alignment recess 76.
- FIG. 4 finally shows the strip labels 60 stuck onto the tape cassette 12 shown there at different heights.
- the strip label feed stations 36, 38 and 40, 42 are transferred to the label holder 30 in succession, otherwise in a similar manner to the embodiment of FIG. 1, two strip labels in succession 60 at different heights (seen in FIG. 4), whereupon in the alignment stations 46, 50 by means of the device shown in FIG. 3, the height alignment of the strip labels 60, which are initially slightly offset from their application height, takes place on the suction surfaces of the label holders 30. Then both strip labels 60 of each tape cassette side 12 are pressed simultaneously onto the respective tape cassette 12 in the single labeling station 52 and pressed there by means of the pressure rollers 56.
- FIG. 4 two strip labels in succession 60 at different heights (seen in FIG. 4), whereupon in the alignment stations 46, 50 by means of the device shown in FIG. 3, the height alignment of the strip labels 60, which are initially slightly offset from their application height, takes place on the suction surfaces of the label holders 30.
- both strip labels 60 of each tape cassette side 12 are pressed simultaneously onto the respective tape cassette 12 in the single labeling station 52
- normal labels 66 can also be applied, namely by means of the normal label feed stations 64, 65 which are then in operation, the centering pins 32 in be used in the manner described in DE-PS 2 826 035 and the normal labels are applied in the manner explained there.
- the device according to the invention can also be operated such that only a single strip label is applied to one of the sides or else both sides of the respective tape cassette 12. It is also possible to provide an additional moistening station in a manner corresponding to DE-PS 2 902 104, for example, and optionally to provide labels to be wetted with adhesive or binder liquid instead of the self-adhesive adhesive labels preferably used according to the invention.
