Abstract

Anordnung für eine elektronische Handfrankiermaschine mit einem Tintendruckkopf und mit integrierten Mitteln zur Steuerung und Versorgung des Tintendruckkopfes.
Es werden eine Vergrößerung der Zuverlässigkeit und des Einsatzbereiches von Handfrankiermaschinen mit Tintendruckköpfen angestrebt. Die Handfrankiermaschine soll den modernen Anforderungen für Frankier- und Klischeedruck genügen. Eine Regenerierung - Nachladen von Porto, der Batterie und Tinte - in einer zentralen Einrichtung soll entfallen und vor Ort möglich sein. Für den Tintendruckkopf soll eine Reingungsmöglichkeit bestehen und derselbe in den Druckpausen gegen Verschmutzung und vor Austrocknung geschützt sein.
Erfindungsgemäß sind in einem Gehäuse 1 eine erste Baugruppe 2 aus einem Fahrgestell 22, einem Tintendruckkopf 21 mit einem auswechselbaren Tintentank 213 und eine zweite Baugruppe 3 aus einer Lese- Schreibeinrichtung 310 für eine Portokreditkarte 4, einem Mikroprozessor 320 sowie einer nachladbaren Batterie 31 mit Ladeanschluß 313 angeordnet und ein Adapter 6 mit Netz- und bedarfsweise Datenanschluß 611 vorgesehen, der eine Batterieladevorrichtung 61 und eine Reinigungsvorrichtung 62 aufweist und der als Ablage- und Andockstation zum Nachladen, Reinigen und Abdichten für die Handfrankiermaschine ausgebildet ist.
Die Ausgestaltung des Fahrgestells 22 ist derart, daß der Aufzeichnungsträger 5 im Druckbereich gestrafft wird. Die Reinigung erfolgt durch Tintenausstoß und/oder Absaugen in die Dichtkappe 6210, Leersaugen derselben mittels einer Saugpumpe 623 und Abwischen des Tintendruckkopfes 21 an einer Wischlippe 620.
Der Adapter ist bedarfsweise mit einem Modem bestückt.
