Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing press with a tape-shaped recording medium which can be transported through the printing area by means of a controllable drive, the recording medium carrying labels to be printed or separable into parts of the same size and in particular having reading marks at a distance from the labels or the parts.
  • Relatively compact printers of this type are known in the form of, for example, thermal transfer printing machines.
  • the print area is traversed by both the recording medium and the thermal transfer ribbon, the recording medium being passed directly over a counter-pressure roller, while a printhead of a known type is located above the thermal transfer ribbon.
  • Such printing machines are used, for example, to print labels on the recording medium. These can then be removed from the recording medium on which they are held and used for the intended purpose.
  • the tape-shaped recording medium that is to say consisting of a paper tape, is printed directly. If it is perforated, for example, you can use the labels win by tearing off the perforation lines.
  • the printing machine mentioned at the beginning is located at the outlet area of the printing machine for the recording medium on a removable holder, at least one detector for the labels or the sections, in particular for the reading marks, which drives the recording medium in an effective state stops when a label or a section, in particular a reading mark, is in its detection area.
  • reading marks small openings, in particular openings on the side open to the edge of the record carrier, are known as reading marks.
  • one reading mark is provided for each label or partial section, the distance between the reading marks in the running direction of the recording medium generally being constant, just as is the case in the running direction, which is generally the case for the length of the labels.
  • the at least one detector for the reading marks is located on a removable holder, the latter can be used for retrofitting existing printing machines. It is only expedient if the printing press is designed from the start in such a way that the holder can be attached to it in the intended place without any problems. This allows you to Deliver printing presses without this "special accessory” and only equip them with them if there is actually a need for the associated function. It is also favorable for repair purposes if you can get to the at least one detector in the simplest way and do not have to open the entire printing press first.
  • the electrical connection between the holder and the at least one detector can be made via an electrical cable for which a corresponding socket is already present on the printing press.
  • the holder has two detectors, one of which is located above and the other below the printed record carrier. Depending on whether the reading mark is on the top or the bottom of the record carrier, one or the other detector can be made ready for work. If necessary, this can be done automatically by appropriate coding of the recording medium. As a result, the printing press can be used far more universally than if only a single detector, for example above the recording medium, is arranged.
  • At least one of the detectors is a reflex sensor with transmitter and receiver and the other is possibly only a receiver.
  • rays for example light rays
  • the other detector which is located beyond the band, if a breakthrough of the band briefly permits the passage of light.
  • a record carrier with reading marks in the form of small light or dark fields is used, depending on which side of the record carrier the reading marks are on, one or the other detector can be activated and then used as a reflex sensor.
  • a reflex sensor has both a transmitter and a receiver.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that there is at least one cable duct in each of the cross members and the at least one longitudinal member. This can be created, for example, by using hollow profiles accordingly.
  • a simplification of the assembly can be achieved by a configuration according to claims 7 and 8. The same also applies to a further development of the invention according to claim 9.
  • the small carrier plate mentioned there can be formed by a board or can carry this. It is preferably made of plastic.
  • the width of this small carrier plate can correspond to that of the transverse carrier receiving it, measured in the same direction, or it can also be smaller.
  • the height of the slot-shaped receptacle is increased in a central area.
  • the detector is plugged onto the small carrier plate, with corresponding connector pins protruding on the opposite side. If you increase the height of the slot-shaped receptacle in the central area, which can extend over about 60 to 80% of the entire length of the small carrier plate, enough space remains for the protruding connector ends and, if necessary, one separately at the small carrier plate to be attached. Electrical conductors can also be accommodated there, as far as they have to be brought up to the detector.
  • the record carrier 1 which is printed in the schematically indicated printing area 2 of a printing machine, also shown only schematically and broken off, and leaves it in the direction of the arrow 4, is subdivided into uniform sections which can be used as labels or preferably carries in the same way Labels to be printed one behind the other, which can be easily removed from the recording medium in a known manner, for example to attach them to a product or the like. This is easily possible if they are self-adhesive on the back.
  • the record carrier is provided in a known manner with reading marks for a detector device, such a reading mark being assigned to each label or part of the record carrier, for example a light or dark spot or a punched-out area in the edge area.
  • a drive not shown, which may be of a known type, provides for the transport of the record carrier through the printing press 3 and in particular also through its printing area 2.
  • the printing press 3 has an exit area 5 for the record carrier 1, which is indicated schematically in FIG. 1. It is shown in FIG 2 at the left end of the printing machine 3.
  • a removable holder 7 is placed on the front wall 6 of the printing machine 3. It consists in the embodiment of an upper cross member 8 and a lower cross member 9 and two vertical side members 10 and 11. These connect the left and right ends of the two cross members, the connection can be made for example with the help of screws 12.
  • the two lower ends of the vertical longitudinal beams 10 and 11 are connected in the manner explained in more detail below by means of an anchor plate 13.
  • the mouth of the outlet area 5 is located in the rectangle formed by the upper ends of the vertical longitudinal members 10 and 11 and the two cross members 8 and 9. The dimensions of the outlet area 5 can differ considerably from the illustration according to FIG.
  • the labels can easily be removed individually.
  • the holder 7 with the detectors 14 and 15 can be removed from the printing press 2, retrofitting of a printing press suitable for this purpose is possible on the one hand, or a removal of the holder instead if printing is only to be carried out in continuous operation.
  • the electrical connection between this additional device for the printing press and the latter can be made, for example at the end of the cable there is a corresponding plug which fits into a socket provided on the printing press. In this respect, too, the representation is only schematic.
  • the two detectors 14 and 15 can be so-called reflex sensors, each having a transmitter and a receiver.
  • the upper detector can accordingly determine reading marks which are located on the upper side of the recording medium 1, while the lower detector 15 is suitable for reading marks on the lower side of the recording medium 1.
  • the light beam or the like can only get from the transmitter to the receiver if there is a small opening, slot or the like on the recording medium, which represents the reading mark.
  • this additional device can be used very universally for the printing press.
  • the slot-shaped receptacle 18 has also been enlarged in the height direction in a central region 25.
  • a plug-in receptacle 28 (FIGS. 4 and 7) that opens to the front opens into the enlarged central area of the slot-shaped receptacle. It can be seen from FIG. 7 that the small carrier plate can be pushed in as far as it will go against a rear wall 30.
