Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a portable labeling machine which can be operated with one hand, capable of being loaded with a roll of detachable self-adhesive labels arranged in succession on a continuous strip, for printing characters chosen from these labels. , to detach them from the strip and to stick them one by one and as and when they are printed on articles intended for sale.
  • These two machines have in fact this in common that they each comprise a box provided with a handling handle, a printing unit located in the box and comprising at least one print head with character selector and a table of printing capable of meeting for the typing of selected characters, a step-by-step drive device for a continuous strip carrying labels along a circuit passing over the printing table, a trigger connected to the printing unit and the step-by-step drive device to alternately cause the typing of the characters chosen on a label on each actuation and each release of the spacing of the two elements of the printing unit as well as advancing one step of the continuous strip, a device for anchoring the selected characters capable of being placed alternately in retracting condition and in inking condition in synchronism with the respective movements of bringing the two closer and apart é elements of the printing unit, a retaining device intended to oppose a second printing of the selected characters caused by a rebound consecutive to the meeting of the two elements of the printing unit before the release of the trigger and comprising , at least on one side of the two elements of the printing unit
  • the rotary member of the retaining device comprises on its periphery three equidistant arming control fingers intended to be actuated selectively and sequentially by the pusher during striking and coming successively and respectively against the lateral stop and in the retaining notch.
  • the return element of this rotary member consists of a prism coaxial with said rotary element and whose polygonal outline has three edges each corresponding to one of the three arming control fingers.
  • the pusher meets one of the three cocking fingers of the rotary retaining member and rotates the latter until the following cocking finger meets the lateral stop, ready to engage in the retaining notch in the event of a rebound under spring pressure.
  • the spring rotates the rotary member to disengage said next arming control finger from the retaining notch and present it in turn, at the next strike, to the action of the pusher.
  • the rotary member thus presents to the action of the pusher, strikes after strikes and following one another, its three arming control fingers by repetitive rotation and in the same direction of 120 ° each.
  • the aforementioned known machine makes it possible to reliably solve the problems of double printing and over-inking linked to the phenomenon of rebound consecutive to the meeting of the two elements of the printing unit, before the release of the trigger, and this thanks to the fact that a rigid spacer element constituted by a finger of the rotary member is introduced between these two elements of the printing unit immediately after said rebound.
  • This retaining device is also dependent on its resistance to external aggressions caused by manipulations of the device, during labeling, and on the speed of response of the rotary member to the stresses of the pusher and to the pressure. of the spring during the bringing together of the two elements of the printing unit causing the typing of the characters and until the instant of the rebound.
  • the invention aims both to increase the resistance to external aggressions of the retaining device and to increase the speed of response of its rotary retaining member, for all equal functional constraints applied to its elements.
  • the machine according to the invention is characterized in that: the rotary retaining member is a lever comprising a first arm and a second arm forming a V, - this lever is pivoted at its top and its angular displacement is alternating, the return element is a cam forming a dihedral integral with the lever, this dihedral being subjected to the permanent pressure of the spring and its edge defining the tilting position of said lever between a first and a second different angular positions, in the first angular position of the lever, its first arm is in the raised standby position oriented towards the other element of the printing unit, while its second arm is in the lowered retracting position, - in the second angular position of the lever, its first arm is in the retracted position, however its two tenth arm is in the raised waiting position on the trajectory of the pusher, - a retraction arm of the first arm of the lever is mounted mobile in the housing, the movement of this retraction arm being alternating and synchronized by mechanical connection
  • the V-shaped lever conferred on the rotary retaining member which thus comprises only two arms instead of a minimum of three, and by the alternative angular displacement mode based on the passage of an angular position to the other and vice versa, in each of which one of these two arms is always retracted and the other always oriented in the raised position towards the element of the printing unit facing it, the invention responds well to the aim.
  • the portable labeling machine comprises, as shown as a whole figure 1: - a housing 1 provided with a handling handle 2, - A printing unit located in the housing 1 and comprising here a single printing head 3 with integrated character selector, fixed at the end of a first lever 4 articulated on a first pivot 5 and comprising a finger drive 6 and a stopper 7, and a fixed printing table 8 on which the circuit of a continuous strip 10 of self-adhesive labels 11 coming from a roll 12 housed in the upper part of the housing passes , - A trigger 13 articulated on the first pivot 5, here of the known type assisted by uniform pressure by expansion, the combined action of which is ensured by an arming spring 14, an exhaust pawl 15 with return spring 16 engaged in position rest in the stop notch 7, and by a trigger 17 secured to the trigger 13 and intended to release this action by releasing the pawl 15 out of the notch 7; a spring spacer 18 is provided to return this mechanism to the rest position, - A step-by-step drive device 19 for the continuous strip
  • This device comprises objects distributed over the two elements of the printing unit and an object separate from them, and which are: a pusher 30, a lateral stop 31 and two retaining notches 32 and 33 formed here by the lower contour of a flat piece 34 attached and fixed to the lever 4 on one side of the print head 3 opposite the printing table 8, a rotary retaining member constituted by a lever 35 carrying a first arm 36 and a second arm 37 forming a V, pivoted by its top on a pivot 38 integral with the printing table 8, and with displacement alternating angular whose plane of rotation is perpendicular to said printing table 8 and extended in the direction of the length thereof.
  • This lever 35 also shown in FIGS.
  • a return element which is integral with it and which consists of a cam 39 forming a dihedral 40 subjected tangentially to the permanent pressure of a leaf spring 41 fixed to the printing table 8, the edge 42 of which defines the tilting position of this lever, under the pressure of the spring 41, between a first angular position of rest corresponding to that shown in FIG. 1 and a second angular position of rest corresponding to that shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 8 it can be seen that the first arm 36 and the second arm 37 of the lever 35 are in the same plane situated, as shown in FIG. 7, directly above the part 34 comprising the pusher 30, and it also emerges of these same figures as the first arm 36 has at its end a lateral extension 44 located in the pivot plane of the retracting arm 43.
  • the inking device which carries the retracting arm 43 is synchronized with the alternative movements of approximation and relative spacing of the two elements of the printing unit, that is to say here with the actual movements of the print head 3, by a mechanical connection comprising here a cam 45 constituted by the outline of the print head 3 located on its side, and by the ink roller 25 itself which is maintained pressed elastically against this contour by a return spring 46.
  • the location of the pivot 27 of the lever 26 carrying both the ink roller 25 and the retraction arm 43, and the lever arms separating these three elements are provided so that during the lowering of the printing head 3 the ink roller 25 passes over the printing characters 47 then retracts from the path of said printing head, however, which the end of the retraction arm 43 passes above and near the printing table 8 over a length sufficient to meet the lateral extension 44 of the first arm 36 of the lever 35.
  • the pusher 30 meets the second arm 37 of the lever 35 and pushes this second arm from its raised standby position according to FIG. 2 towards its lowered position of rest, which has the effect of rotating the lever 35, in the opposite direction, from its second angular position according to FIG. 2 and of rotating the first arm 36 of said lever until it meets the lateral stop 31 against which it is held in waiting position for elastic engagement in a retaining notch 32 or 33 until the two elements of the printing unit meet, according to FIG.
  • the machine is thus again in the initial rest position according to FIG. 1, ready for a new work cycle.
  • This retraction arm 430 is of rectilinear reciprocating movement and for this purpose comprises a rectilinear part 48 guided in translation in a slide 49 secured to a side wall of the housing 1, here connected by a connecting rod 50 to the drive device step 19 of the continuous strip 10.
  • this retraction arm 430 opposite the connecting rod 50 has a finger 51 offset towards the table 8 and whose straight path crosses that of the first arm 36 of the lever 35, substantially in the same region and to perform the same functions as the retraction arm 43 previously described, but its shorter stroke is however sufficient and corresponds to the travel of the above-mentioned device 19 which is represented by the arrows C2.
  • the link mechanism ensuring the reciprocating movement of this retraction arm comprises, as can be seen with the aid of FIG. 1, the chain of elements composed of the connecting rod 50, of the step-by-step advance device 19 and the lever 20 for controlling the latter.
  • FIG. 6 which represents a working phase corresponding to FIG. 2, the presence of the ink roller 25 and the truncated end of its lever 26, which clearly shows that the retraction arm is not necessarily linked to an inking device and that the latter can therefore be of any other design.
  • the concept of the invention is not limited to its application to a machine of the kind described, the printer head 3 of which is movable and the printing table 8 fixed; it is also applicable to machines in which this arrangement is reversed, as well as to those in which these two elements of the printing unit are movable.
  • the retaining device can be doubled, that is to say disposed on either side of the printing unit, the second lever 35 mounted for example on the same shaft 38 in order to compensate for a possible lack of parallelism natural or elastic transverse between these two elements, in the case for example of a choice of a very small spacing value between the two elements of the printing unit in the retaining position following a rebound.
  • the invention is obviously applicable to machines in which the printing unit comprises more than one printing head.
