Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Handetikettiergerät zum Ausgeben und Anbringen von Etiketten, mit einem an einem Gehäuse schwenkbar gelagerten, eine Transporteinrichtung antreibenden Handhebel, der eine am Gehäuse schwenkbar festgelegte Griffschale aufweist.The invention relates to a hand-held labeling device for dispensing and attaching labels, with a hand lever which is pivotally mounted on a housing and drives a transport device and which has a handle shell which is pivotally fixed to the housing.

Gattungsgemäße Handetikettiergeräte sind beispielsweise aus der DE-A-3 440 000 bekannt. Sie dienen unter anderem zur Preisauszeichnung von Waren, indem sie ein Etikett mit dem Preis und/oder anderen Angaben ausgeben und an der Ware anbringen. Dabei sind sie häufig noch mit einem ebenfalls vom Handhebel angetriebenen Druckwerk zum Bedrucken der Etiketten ausgerüstet. Zur Bedienung weist das Gehäuse des Handetikettiergeräts einen Handgriff auf, in dessen Nachbarschaft ein schwenkbar gelagerter Handhebel angeordnet ist. Der Handhebel wird beim Betätigen des Handetikettiergeräts zangenartig in Richtung des Handgriffs geschwenkt und dadurch die Druckeinrichtung und/oder eine Transporteinrichtung angetrieben. Als nachteilig hat sich herausgestellt, daß beim Betätigen des Handhebels die Handfläche am Handhebel hin- und hergleitet. Dies ist bei einer einmaligen oder nur einer gelegentlichen Betätigung des Handhebels belanglos. In der Regel sind Handetikettiergeräte im ständigen Einsatz, so daß das Hin- und Hergleiten der Handfläche am Handhebel Scheuerstellen und Hautreizungen bzw. Hautirritationen verursacht.Generic hand labeling devices are known for example from DE-A-3 440 000. Among other things, they serve to price goods by issuing a label with the price and / or other information and attaching it to the goods. They are often also equipped with a printing unit, also driven by the hand lever, for printing on the labels. For operation, the housing of the hand-held labeling device has a handle, in the vicinity of which a pivoted hand lever is arranged. When the hand-held labeling device is actuated, the hand lever is pivoted in the direction of the handle in the manner of pliers, and thereby the printing device and / or a transport device driven. It has been found to be disadvantageous that when the hand lever is actuated, the palm slides back and forth on the hand lever. This is irrelevant when the hand lever is actuated once or only occasionally. As a rule, hand labeling devices are in constant use, so that sliding the palm of the hand on the hand lever causes chafing and skin irritation or skin irritation.

In der US-A-3 572 192 sind handbedienbare Werkzeuge (wie Scheren und Zangen) beschrieben, bei denen einer der Bedienhebel mit Rollen ausgestattet ist, die um ihre Achse drehbar gelagert sind.US-A-3 572 192 describes hand-operated tools (such as scissors and pliers) in which one of the operating levers is equipped with rollers which are rotatably mounted about their axis.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Handetikettiergerät der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, das auch über längere Zeit problemlos bedienbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a hand-held labeling device of the type mentioned at the outset, which can also be operated without problems over a long period of time.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Handhebel aus wenigstens zwei Bauelementen besteht, wobei das erste Bauelement die Griffschale ist und in der Griffschale ein Griffteil als zweites Bauelement pendelnd beweglich gelagert ist, und daß Rückstellmittel, z.B. Rückstellfedern, für eine definierte Grundstellung des Griffteils in der Griffschale vorgesehen sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the hand lever consists of at least two components, the first component being the grip shell and in the grip shell a grip part as the second component being mounted so that it can swing, and that restoring means, e.g. Return springs are provided for a defined basic position of the handle part in the handle shell.

Durch die Aufteilung des Handhebels in zwei Bauelemente, d.h. in eine Griffschale und in ein Griffteil, welches in der Griffschale gelagert ist, wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß der Handhebel besser der Bewegung der Hand folgen kann. Einerseits folgt die Griffschale der sich schließenden Hand, d.h. der Schwenkbewegung, andererseits folgt das in der Griffschale gelagerte Griffteil einer der Schließbewegung der Hand überlagerten und in Querrichtung zur Achse des Handhebels verlaufenden Schubbewegung. Da nunmehr die Handfläche permanent am Griffteil anliegt und keine Relativbewegungen zwischen der Handfläche und dem Handhebel stattfinden, kann das Handetikettiergerät über einen langen Zeitraum problemlos, d.h. ohne Irritationen der Handfläche, bedient werden. Es sind Rückstellmittel vorgesehen, die zum Beispiel als Rückstellfedern ausgebildet sind und eine Rückstellung des Griffteils in eine Grundstellung in der Griffschale bewirken. Wird das Handetikettiergerät ergriffen, dann befindet sich das Griffteil in seiner Grundstellung, aus der es heraus bei der Schließbewegung der Hand verlagert wird. Wird die Hand geöffnet, dann erfolgt die Rückstellung des Griffteils aufgrund einer Rückpendelbewegung unterstützt durch die Rückstellmittel.By dividing the hand lever into two components, ie in a grip shell and in a grip part which is mounted in the grip shell, the advantage is achieved that the hand lever can better follow the movement of the hand. On the one hand the grip shell follows the closing hand, ie the swiveling movement, on the other hand the grip part mounted in the grip shell follows a pushing movement superimposed on the closing movement of the hand and extending in the transverse direction to the axis of the hand lever. There Now that the palm rests permanently on the grip part and there are no relative movements between the palm and the hand lever, the hand-held labeling device can be operated over a long period of time without any problems, ie without irritation of the palm. Reset means are provided which are designed, for example, as return springs and bring about a return of the handle part to a basic position in the handle shell. If the hand-held labeling device is gripped, the grip part is in its basic position, from which it is displaced when the hand is closed. If the hand is opened, the handle part is reset due to a return movement supported by the reset means.

Optimale Effekte werden dadurch erzielt, daß die Pendelachse des Griffteils in der Normalebene der Schwenkachse der Griffschale liegt. Durch diese Anordnung der Pendelachse kann die Handfläche in Querrichtung zur Schwenkrichtung der Griffschale auf dem Griffteil abrollen, wobei das Griffteil hierbei eine Pendelbewegung ausführt. Vorzugsweise schneidet dabei die Pendelachse die Schwenkachse. Bei anderen Ausführungsformen kann die Pendelachse mit Abstand zur Schwenkachse liegen. Die spezielle Anordnung der Pendelachse bezüglich der Schwenkachse hängt von der Größe und der Anordnung des Handhebels am Gehäuse und von der Größe des Handgriffs ab.Optimal effects are achieved in that the pendulum axis of the handle part lies in the normal plane of the pivot axis of the handle shell. As a result of this arrangement of the pendulum axis, the palm can roll on the handle part in the transverse direction to the pivoting direction of the handle shell, the handle part executing a pendulum movement here. The pendulum axis preferably intersects the pivot axis. In other embodiments, the pendulum axis can be at a distance from the pivot axis. The special arrangement of the pendulum axis with respect to the pivot axis depends on the size and arrangement of the hand lever on the housing and on the size of the handle.

Vorzugsweise ist das Griffteil nach beiden Seiten der Griffschale, insbesondere um jeweils 180° auslenkbar. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß das Handetikettiergerät sowohl von Rechtshändern als auch von Linkshändern gleichermaßen gut bedienbar ist und die Vorteile der Erfindung bei beiden Verwendungsarten vollständig zum Tragen kommen. Außerdem wird durch den weiten Auslenkwinkel sichergestellt, daß auch bei extremen Hebelbewegungen keine Schubbewegungen zwischen der Handfläche und dem Griffteil auftreten, sondern die Handfläche lediglich auf dem Griffteil abrollt.The grip part can preferably be deflected to both sides of the grip shell, in particular by 180 ° in each case. This has the advantage that the hand-held labeling device can be operated equally well by both right-handed and left-handed people, and the advantages of the invention come fully into play in both types of use. In addition, the wide deflection angle ensures that even with extreme lever movements none Thrusting movements occur between the palm and the grip part, but the palm only rolls on the grip part.

Vorzugsweise durchdringt die Pendelachse das Griffteil. Durch diese Maßnahme kann die Pendelbewegung der Bewegung der Handfläche in der Griffschale optimal angepaßt werden. Vor allem kann durch die Lage, insbesondere durch den Abstand der Pendelachse in bezug auf die Anlagefläche der Handfläche am Griffteil der Pendelweg bestimmt werden.The pendulum axis preferably penetrates the handle part. This measure allows the pendulum movement to be optimally adapted to the movement of the palm in the grip shell. Above all, the pendulum travel can be determined by the position, in particular by the distance of the pendulum axis with respect to the contact surface of the palm on the handle part.

Zur Stabilisierung der Auslenkbewegung des Griffteils ist das Griffteil vorteilhaft gegenüber der Griffschale, insbesondere über eine definierte Reibung, gebremst bzw. dessen Auslenkbewegung gedämpft. Es bedarf also einer gewissen Krafteinwirkung, um das Griffteil bezüglich der Griffschale zu verlagern. Die erforderliche Kraft kann dabei so gewählt werden, daß sie zwar durch die Schließbewegung der Hand beim Betätigen des Handhebels leicht und problemlos aufbringbar ist, jedoch dem Benutzer ein sicherer Halt des Handetikettiergeräts vermittelt wird.To stabilize the deflection movement of the grip part, the grip part is advantageously braked relative to the grip shell, in particular by means of a defined friction, or its deflection movement is damped. A certain amount of force is therefore required to displace the grip part with respect to the grip shell. The required force can be selected so that it can be easily and easily applied by the closing movement of the hand when the hand lever is actuated, but the user is provided with a secure hold of the hand-held labeling device.

Falls erforderlich, kann die Auslenkung des Griffteils über Anschläge begrenzt sein.If necessary, the deflection of the handle part can be limited by stops.

Bei einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Griffteil als Rolle ausgebildet und weist insbesondere eine Wellenkontur auf. Die Kontur verläuft dabei so, daß sich die das Griffteil umschließende Hand optimal an das Griffteil anschmiegen kann.In another embodiment, the grip part is designed as a roller and in particular has a shaft contour. The contour runs in such a way that the hand enclosing the grip part can nestle optimally against the grip part.

Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Griffteil in Richtung der Pendelachse geringfügig axial verschieblich gelagert ist. Durch diese zusätzliche Bewegungsmöglichkeit des Griffteils, kann der Schließbewegung der Hand noch genauer gefolgt werden.In a development of the invention it is provided that the handle part slightly in the direction of the pendulum axis is axially displaceable. With this additional possibility of moving the handle part, the closing movement of the hand can be followed even more precisely.

Figur 1 zeigt ein insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnetes Handetikettiergerät, mit dem Etiketten bedruckt und ausgegeben werden können, so daß sie an einem zu kennzeichnenden Gegenstand anbringbar sind. Hierfür weist das Handetikettiergerät 1 eine in einem Gehäuse 2 angeordnete Etiketten-Vorratsrolle 3 auf, von der das Etikett auf einem nicht dargestellten Trägerband abgezogen und unter einem Druckwerk 4 zu einer Spendkante 5 geführt wird, wo das Etikett vom Trägerband abgelöst wird. Das Trägerband wird über eine Transporteinrichtung 6 durch das Handetikettiergerät 1 hindurchbewegt, wobei der Antrieb des Druckwerks 4 zum Bedrucken des Etiketts und der Transporteinrichtung 6 über einen Handhebel 7 erfolgt. Dieser Handhebel 7 liegt einem Handgriff 8 gegenüber und ist in einem Schwenklager 9 schwenkbar am Gehäuse 2 befestigt.FIG. 1 shows a hand-held labeling device, generally designated 1, with which labels can be printed and dispensed so that they can be attached to an object to be labeled. For this purpose, the hand-held labeling device 1 has a label supply roll 3 arranged in a housing 2, from which the label is pulled off on a carrier tape (not shown) and guided under a printing unit 4 to a dispensing edge 5, where the label is detached from the carrier tape. The carrier tape is moved through the hand-held labeling device 1 via a transport device 6, the drive of the printing unit 4 for printing on the label and the transport device 6 taking place via a hand lever 7. This hand lever 7 is opposite a handle 8 and is pivotally attached to the housing 2 in a pivot bearing 9.

Die Figur 1 zeigt die Ruhelage des Handhebels 7, in die er, aufgrund der Kraft einer nicht dargestellten Rückstellfeder, gedrängt wird. Durch Verschwenkung des Handhebels 7 um das Schwenklager 9, d.h. entgegen der Richtung des Uhrzeigersinns, in Richtung auf den Handgriff 8 werden sowohl das Druckwerk 4 als auch die Transporteinrichtung 6 angetrieben. Die Verschwenkung des Handhebels 7 wird durch eine Greifbewegung einer das Handetikettiergerät 1 am Handgriff 8 und Handhebel 7 haltenden Hand herbeigeführt. Dabei liegt der Daumenballen auf der Oberseite 10 des
Handgriffs 8 auf und die Finger greifen in eine Öffnung 11 des Handhebels 7 ein. Die Finger sind dann von einer ein erstes Bauelement darstellenden Griffschale 12 des Handhebels 7 übergriffen und die Fingerinnenseiten liegen an einem ein zweites Bauelement darstellenden Griffteil 13 an.FIG. 1 shows the rest position of the hand lever 7, into which it is pushed due to the force of a return spring (not shown). By pivoting the hand lever 7 about the pivot bearing 9, ie counterclockwise, in the direction of the handle 8, both the printing unit 4 and the transport device 6 are driven. The pivoting of the hand lever 7 is brought about by a gripping movement of a hand holding the hand labeling device 1 on the handle 8 and hand lever 7. The ball of the thumb lies on the top 10 of the
Handle 8 and the fingers engage in an opening 11 of the hand lever 7. The fingers are then overlapped by a grip shell 12 of the hand lever 7, which represents a first component, and the inside of the fingers rest on a grip part 13, which represents a second component.

In Figur 2 ist der Handhebel 7 vergrößert dargestellt, und es ist deutlich erkennbar, daß in der Griffschale 12 das Griffteil 13 schwenkbar bzw. pendelnd gelagert ist. Hierfür weist das Griffteil 13 Lagerzapfen 14 und 15 auf, die an den beiden stirnseitigen Enden 16 und 17 abstehen und in Lagerbohrungen 18 und 19 der Griffschale 12 eingreifen. Die beiden Lagerzapfen 14 bilden eine Pendel- bzw. Schwenkachse 20.In Figure 2, the hand lever 7 is shown enlarged, and it can be clearly seen that the handle member 13 is pivotally or pivotally mounted in the handle shell 12. For this purpose, the handle part 13 has bearing pins 14 and 15 which protrude at the two ends 16 and 17 and engage in bearing bores 18 and 19 of the handle shell 12. The two journals 14 form a pendulum or swivel axis 20.

Aus Figur 2 ist außerdem deutlich erkennbar, daß der Schwerpunkt bzw. die Schwerpunktachse 24 des zwischen den beiden Enden 16 und 17 sich befindenden Abschnitts des Griffteils 13 einen Abstand A zur Pendelachse 20 aufweist. Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, daß der Griffteil 13 in der Nichtgebrauchslage des Handetikettiergeräts 1 stets selbsttätig in die in der Figur 2 dargestellte Lage, d.h. nach unten verschwenkt. Zur Unterstützung dieser Rückstellbewegung kann aber auch eine Rückstellfeder (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen sein. Außerdem kann eine Reibungsbremse zwischen dem Griffteil 13 und der Griffschale 12 angeordnet sein, so daß das Griffteil 13 erst ab einer bestimmten Kraft in der Griffschale 12 bewegt werden kann.From Figure 2 it can also be clearly seen that the center of gravity or the center of gravity axis 24 of the section of the handle part 13 located between the two ends 16 and 17 is at a distance A from the pendulum axis 20. This ensures that when the hand-held labeling device 1 is not in use, the grip part 13 is always automatically in the position shown in FIG. 2, ie it pivots downwards. For support this return movement can also be provided a return spring (not shown). In addition, a friction brake can be arranged between the grip part 13 and the grip shell 12, so that the grip part 13 can only be moved in the grip shell 12 from a certain force.

Aus Figur 2 ist ferner erkennbar, daß das Griffteil 13 eine der Innenkontur der Greifhand angepaßte Außenkontur aufweist, wodurch ein besseres Anschmiegen der Finger an das Griffteil 13 ermöglicht wird.From Figure 2 it can also be seen that the grip part 13 has an outer contour adapted to the inner contour of the gripping hand, which enables a better fitting of the fingers to the grip part 13.

Aus dem in der Figur 3 dargestellten Schnitt ist deutlich erkennbar, daß die Pendelachse 20 oberhalb des zu ergreifenden Teils des Griffteils 13 liegt. Ferner ist erkennbar, daß die Griffschale 12 mit Anschlägen 21 und 22 versehen ist, die die Pendelbewegung, die in Figur 3 mit dem Pfeil 23 angedeutet ist, begrenzen. Anstelle des schalenartig ausgebildeten Griffteils 13 kann die Griffschale 12 auch mit einer Rolle, insbesondere mit einer Wellenkontur, versehen sein.It can be clearly seen from the section shown in FIG. 3 that the pendulum axis 20 lies above the part of the handle part 13 to be gripped. It can also be seen that the grip shell 12 is provided with stops 21 and 22 which limit the pendulum movement, which is indicated in FIG. 3 by the arrow 23. Instead of the shell-like handle part 13, the handle shell 12 can also be provided with a roller, in particular with a shaft contour.

Aus Figur 1 ist deutlich erkennbar, daß die Pendelachse 20 in der von der Zeichnungsebene gebildeten Normalebene der Schwenkachse des Schwenklagers 9 liegt. Bei der in der Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform weist die Pendelachse 20 einen geringfügigen Abstand zur Schwenkachse des Handhebels 7 auf, wobei der Abstand der beiden Achsen und insbesondere die Lage der Pendelachse die spätere Pendelbewegung des Griffteils 13 beeinflußt.It can be clearly seen from FIG. 1 that the pendulum axis 20 lies in the normal plane of the pivot axis of the pivot bearing 9 formed by the plane of the drawing. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the pendulum axis 20 is at a slight distance from the pivot axis of the hand lever 7, the distance between the two axes and in particular the position of the pendulum axis influencing the later pendulum movement of the handle part 13.
