Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the guide element for the carrier tape which causes the sharp change in direction to detach the label, is located laterally next to the receiving tape, so that it is difficult to advance the rear edge of the detached label to such an extent that it does not protrude beyond the lateral edge of the receiving tape . It is even more difficult to advance the label so far that there is a desired mutual distance between the lateral edge of the receiving tape and the rear end of the label located thereon. If the guide element is arranged above the receiving belt within its broad extension, the size of the feed is fixed and this arrangement is usually disadvantageous for reasons of space and handling.
  • the guide element located on the side of the receiving tape can be pushed over this during the advancement of the carrier tape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the receiving tape and can be returned to the starting position laterally of the receiving tape after the advancement of the carrier tape, the label can be adjusted in any position on the by adjusting the displacement length Recording tape can be placed, and furthermore the guide element is light Accessible, so that despite an arbitrarily wide feed of the labels, an exchange of the carrier tape can be carried out without difficulty and easy access is also possible during maintenance work or troubleshooting.
  • a guide element for each carrier tape is provided on each side of the receiving tape and in time only one of the carrier tapes can be pushed forward to apply a label. Since only one of the guide elements is thus pushed over the receiving tape while the other guide element is outside the width dimension of the receiving tape, it is ensured that the respectively opposite guide element does not hinder the advance of a detached label. In this way it is possible to apply different labels to the recording tape.
  • the guide elements arranged on both sides of the receiving tape are expediently connected to one another in such a way that they can be displaced together in the same direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the receiving tape. This always maintains a constant distance between the two guide elements so that they do not interfere with each other even in the event of a fault.
  • FIG. 2 shows a supply roll 2, held by a roll fixation 1, for a take-up belt 3, which is mounted on a freely rotatable unwinding spool 4.
  • Basic labels which are not shown in the figures, are arranged one behind the other on the receiving tape 3 and in the longitudinal direction thereof. The basic labels can be unprinted or have basic printing.
  • the receiving belt 3 is provided with transport holes into which pins of a drive roller 5 driven in a controlled manner engage.
  • the take-up belt 3 drawn off by the drive roller 5 by the distance between two adjacent basic labels from the supply roll 2 is passed through a printing unit 6, for example, which works thermally, in which the basic labels each receive an individual print.
  • the printing takes place by means of an ink ribbon 7, which is drawn off from a supply reel 8 and, after use, is taken up by a take-up spool 9.
  • the receiving tape 3 is passed through a station 10, in which, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 1, further labels are pushed laterally over the basic labels and are adhesively connected to them in the feed end position.
  • the other labels can be transparent so that they do not obstruct the view of the printing of the basic labels and continue to be printed in a different color, so that the combination of the basic label and the applied further label has a multicolor print.
  • the receiving tape 3 provided with the basic labels and the applied further labels is then guided around a separating edge 11 on which the receiving tape 3 is subjected to a sharp change in direction.
  • the base labels which adhere relatively easily to the receiving tape 3, do not follow this change in direction due to their bending stiffness, but detach at the separating edge 11 from the receiving tape 3 and become one of the suction head 12 under a suction head 12 held in the extended position in FIG. 2 13 and a suction motor 14 existing suction device pushed.
  • the suction device is fastened to a support arm 15, the height of which can be adjusted by means of a reversible drive motor 16 and a toothed rack 17 which is in engagement with its output shaft and is fastened to the support arm 15.
  • the guide slot 20 has a recess 22 into which the lower pin 19 slides in the highest position of the support arm 15, so that the suction head 12 is pivoted toward the separating edge 11 and can suck in a detached base label, while the applied label against the base label is pressed and adheres to it by means of its adhesive layer.
  • the pin 19 is guided out of the recess 22, and the suction device is placed vertically, so that it reaches the position indicated by broken lines in FIG. 2. In this position, the basic label with the applied further label can be applied, for example, to an object to be labeled.
  • the receiving tape 3 freed from the basic labels is finally wound up on a take-up reel 23.
  • the labels to be applied in station 10 are arranged on two carrier tapes 24 and 24 'one behind the other in the longitudinal direction and adhering to them.
  • the carrier tapes 24 and 24 ' preferably carry different labels, so that the basic labels can be stuck with at least two different labels.
  • One of the two carrier tapes 24 and 24 ' is guided on each side of the receiving tape 3.
  • the carrier tapes 24 and 24 'provided with the labels are stored in supply rolls 25 and 25' on freely rotatable unwinding spools 26 and 26 'and are held by roll fixings 27 and 27'.
  • the carrier tapes 24 and 24 ' which are provided with transport holes, are drawn off from the unwinding spools 26 and 26', respectively, and are wound onto winding spools 29 and 29 ', respectively, by means of controlled, driven drive rollers 28 and 28' provided with pins which engage in the transport holes.
  • the carrier tapes 24 and 24 'drawn off the unwinding spools 26 and 26' are first guided through guide plates 30 and 30 'to deflecting rollers 31 and 31' with a small diameter, through which the carrier tapes 24 and 24 'are deflected by 180 ° become, ie experience a sharp change in direction.
  • the labels adhering to the carrier tapes 24 and 24 'do not follow this change in direction due to their flexural rigidity, but detach from their carrier tapes 24 or 24' and are pushed further in the direction of movement of the carrier tapes 24 or 24 'before they are deflected.
  • the labels are detached from the carrier tapes 24 and 24' over the receiving tape 3 or the straight in Basic label located in station 10 pushed. In the position of the deflection rollers 31 and 31 'shown in FIG. 1, however, the detached labels are not advanced so far that their rear end is moved beyond the side edge of the receiving belt 3 and additionally receives a desired distance therefrom.
  • the unwinding spools 26 and 26 ', the drive rollers 28 and 28', the winding spools 29 and 29 ', the guide plates 30 and 30' and the deflection rollers 31 and 31 ' are all stored in a circuit board 32 so that they are not in their position relative to one another are changeable.
  • the circuit board 32 itself, however, is mounted horizontally displaceably in FIG. 1, the position shown in FIG. 1 representing the middle position, ie the circuit board 32 can be displaced both to the right and to the left.
  • the circuit board 32 is provided with a vertical slot 33, in which a pin 35 arranged eccentrically to the central axis of a controllable reversible motor 34 engages.
  • This configuration ensures that only one of the deflection rollers 31 or 31 'can always be pushed over the receiving belt 3, while at the same time the other deflecting roller is moved away from the receiving belt 3.
  • the drive rollers 28 and 28 ' are controlled in such a way that only the one of them is driven whose associated deflection roller 31 or 31' is pushed over the receiving belt 3.
  • adhesive labels can be applied to the carrier tapes 24 and 24' at any point on the receiving tape 3 or the basic labels.
