Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing machine, in particular a needle, inkjet, laser or thermal transfer printer, with a printer housing and at least one connecting element provided on the printer housing, which has a receiving device for an anchor element of an additional device or an additional device.
  • a device of the generic type has become known from JP 63-95973 A.
  • a paper feeder is attached to the top of a printer body such that a cylindrical pin engages a forked opening in the printer body.
  • a disadvantage is that this fastening device only allows attachment to the top of the device, since the fixation is only due to gravity.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide the printing press of the above. Modify in such a way that a simple, quick and safe installation of additional devices in any orientation on the printer housing is possible.
  • the printer housing consists of at least two housing parts which are connected to one another by the connecting element in such a way that they form a slot through which the receiving device is accessible.
  • one or more additional devices can be coupled to such a receiving device via an anchor element.
  • the provision of a receiving device on the connecting element is also advantageous insofar as it can be used to fasten technically completely different additional devices to the printer housing, so that a separate connecting element is not required for each additional device.
  • Such a connecting element can be provided on any printer housing.
  • the connecting element and the receiving device are advantageously from the outside, i.e. accessible from outside the printer case.
  • the printer housing consists of two or more housing parts which are held together by the connecting element and the housing parts are at a certain distance from one another so that they leave a slot between them through which the connecting element is accessible.
  • the connecting element and the receiving device are advantageously in one piece and consist of metal, mostly made of cast aluminum.
  • the receiving device is advantageously designed as a T-slot.
  • an anchor element is preferably releasably attachable to the receiving device, e.g. by clamping, screwing, hanging, screwing, clipping, etc.
  • the anchor element is preferably an anchor plate, in particular a flat steel anchor plate.
  • At least one additional device can be coupled to the anchor element. This is done in particular through a detachable connection, e.g. by screwing, hanging, screwing or clipping.
  • one or more additional devices can be releasably attached to an anchor plate as required, which in turn can be accommodated in a receiving device, e.g. a T-groove engages inside the printer housing.
  • a receiving device e.g. a T-groove engages inside the printer housing.
  • This coupling option is simple, user-friendly and allows a quick, uncomplicated retrofitting of the printer, the coupling being identical for different additional devices.
  • Several additional devices can also be attached simultaneously, either to an anchor plate or to several anchor plates detachably attached to or in the receiving device.
  • the printer housing 1 shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2, here for a thermal transfer printer, has a lower housing part 2 and an upper housing part 3, both of which are designed in the manner of a shell.
  • the two housing parts 2 and 3 are connected to one another by two connecting elements 4 so that they are at a certain distance from one another in the form of a slot 1 '.
  • these connecting elements 4 are profile elements made of continuous aluminum casting.
  • Each of these profile elements 4 consists of a front plate 9 and a rear plate 10, which extend vertically through the printer housing 1.
  • the two plates 9, 10 are connected by a central crosspiece 11, an upper crosspiece 12 and a lower crosspiece 12 '.
  • the upper crosspiece 12 and the lower crosspiece 12 ' continue forward, that is to say in the direction of the slot 1', in stair-like support elements 13, 13 'which are supported against the upper housing part 3 and the lower housing part 2, respectively.
  • the rear plate 10 continues beyond the transverse webs 12, 12 'in vertical extensions 10' which are supported against the upper housing part 3 or the lower housing part 2.
  • the profile elements 4 are fastened to the housing parts 2, 3 by screws 14, 14 ', which pass through the housing parts 3 and 2 and the transverse webs 12 and 12'.
  • the front plate 9 has a receiving device 15 in the form of a T-groove, which are formed by a lower rail 16 and an upper rail 17, which are integral with the plate 9 of the profile element 4.
  • the rails 16, 17 are arranged so that their distance from the central crosspiece is approximately the same, so that the T-groove is located approximately in the middle of the plate 9, which has the advantage that the two shell-like housing parts 2 and 3 are of identical design could be.
  • An anchor plate 5 is inserted into each profile element 4.
  • the anchor plate 5 shown on the left in FIG. 2 is held by screws 6.
  • only one screw 6 is shown in the section in FIG.
  • the housing parts 2 and 3 are shown to the left of the break line, the housing parts 2 and 3 are broken away to the right of the break line, so that the view of the profile element 4 and the anchor plate 5 is free.
  • the anchor plate 5 has threaded bores 6 'and 7' and is displaceable in the rails 16, 17 of the T-slot in the profile element 4. It is inserted laterally through the slot 1 'between the housing parts 2 and 3 and the profile element 4, positioned as desired by displacement and held in a clamped manner with the screws 6. To the right of the break line, one can still see the plate 9 of the profile element 4, on which the receiving device 15 is formed, into which the anchor plate 5 is inserted and fastened with the screws 6.
  • an additional device 8 which is only indicated here, is fastened with screws 7.
  • an additional device 8 can, for example, be a cutting device for labels or a stacker for fanfolded Paper or a supply roll for printer paper or a winding or unwinding roll.
  • additional devices are also conceivable.
  • the screws 6 and the screws 7 are provided with different diameters, so that the adaptation of the additional device 8 is particularly simple. Instead of different diameters, different threads or the like are of course also conceivable. Likewise, one can provide several threads 7 'for additional devices 8. A plurality of additional devices 8 can also advantageously be attached to an anchor plate 5.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention in a longitudinal section II-II according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows only a part of the profile element 4 with the receiving device 15 designed as a T-groove.
  • the additional device 8 is now not fastened to an anchor plate 5, but mounted on a neck 20 with a holding plate 19 provided thereon in the T-groove.
  • This holding plate 19 is not inserted into the T-slot from the side like the anchor plate 5, but is suspended and lowered from the front.
  • the holding plate 19 is provided with a bevel 18 in the upper region on the longitudinal side opposite the additional device 8.
  • the present invention thus makes it possible to detachably attach one or more additional devices 8 with one and the same receiving device 15 to a printer housing 1, so that they can be easily assembled and disassembled as required. You can also use at least two Fasten several additional devices 8 at the same time.
  • the connecting element 4 creates a connection between the two housing parts 2 and 3 and a connection between the additional device 8 and the printer housing 1.
  • components can also be fastened inside the printer housing, the screw 7 remaining invisible from the outside.
  • the plate 10 can then serve as a stop.
