Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink film refill for thermal transfer printer, comprising a transmitting roller of film whose free end is fixed to a receiving mandrel, the roller and the mandrel being supported one on the other with their axes substantially parallel, adhesive means holding them in this position, said means comprising at least one end non-adhesive forming a grip area for their detachment and separation of the roller and the mandrel.
  • thermal transfer printers use normal paper. Ink is deposited on this paper by transfer to from an inked film, under the action of a thermal head.
  • This film inked usually comes in the form of a roller placed in a plastic cassette next to a take-up mandrel on which the film is wound as and when its use.
  • This cassette is changed with the roll of film each time this one is exhausted. As a result, this change is relatively expensive. It is also polluting, since a material cassette plastic is discarded with each change of film roll. Finally, the cassette occupies a relatively large volume in the printer important.
  • JP-A-61 215 078 teaches a refill of the defined type by the preamble to the independent claim. But it has similar handling disadvantages.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention relates to a refill of ink film for thermal transfer printer, including a roller film transmitter whose free end is fixed to a mandrel receiver, the roller and the mandrel being in contact with each other with their substantially parallel axes, adhesive means now in this position, said means comprising at at least one non-adhesive end forming a grip zone for detachment and separation of the roller and the mandrel, characterized in that said adhesive means include a ribbon, surrounding the assembly constituted by the emitting roller and the receiving mandrel and whose ends are overlap, and a tab glued at one end and in its middle area, to adhere to the overlapping end of the ribbon and to the part of the ribbon emerging from below this end overlapping, the other end of said tongue not being glued and constituting said gripping area.
  • the installation of the refill is particularly easy. After placing in the printer the emitting roller, without having detached the adhesive means, it suffices to peel off the ribbon tab and pull and extract the ribbon by the tongue, before installing the mandrel receiver. The risk of unwinding the film during a fake maneuver is thus avoided.
  • the recharging of the invention can be very simply conditioned in flexible packaging such as a paper bag or other material plastic, inexpensive and non-polluting, no case or cassette to be discarded each time the ink film roll is changed. In addition, no unnecessary space is occupied in the printer.
  • said ribbon may include one end partially surrounding the emitter roller, turn around the take-up mandrel, turn again around the transmitter roller, and have its other end near the receiving mandrel.
  • Said ribbon can in particular surround the entire roll and mandrel, from its overlapped end to its end overlapping, in the opposite direction to the film winding direction on said roller.
  • said glued end the tongue is applied to the overlapping end of the ribbon, and the middle area of the tongue is applied to said part emerging from the ribbon.
  • the invention also relates to a method for recharging in ink film of a thermal transfer printer arranged for receiving a refill as described above, characterized by the fact that we have said refill in the printer in placing one of the elements constituted by the roller and the mandrel, that one removes said adhesive means, and that one puts in place the other of said elements.
  • the roller can be put in place first film transmitter.
  • the refill according to the invention essentially comprises a roller 1 film transmitter, a receiving mandrel 2, and adhesive means 3 for securing the roller 1 and the mandrel 2 in support one against each other with their substantially parallel axes.
  • the film passes from the emitting roller 1 to the receiving mandrel 2 as represented by arrow 4 in Figure 2.
  • the adhesive means comprises a non-adhesive tape 5 which surrounds the emitting roller and the receiving mandrel, and a tongue 6 which holds the ribbon 5.
  • the ribbon 5 which, from the inside towards the outside, surrounds the assembly in the direction of arrow 7, has a end 8 partially surrounding the emitting roller 1, turns around the receiving mandrel 2, again revolves around the transmitter roller, and at its other end 9 in the vicinity of the receiving mandrel.
  • the ribbon 5 surrounds the entire roller and mandrel, from its overlapped end 8 at its overlapping end 9, in the opposite direction to the direction for winding the film on said roller.
  • the tongue 6 is glued at one of its ends 10 and in its zone median 11, to adhere respectively to the end overlapping 9 of the ribbon and part 12 of the ribbon emerging from below this overlapping end.
  • the other end 13 of the tongue 6 is not glued and thus constitutes an area of grip to grip and peel off the adhesive means 3.
  • the adhesive means 3 being retained after extraction from the roll and from the mandrel of their packaging, the emitting roller 1 is put in without risk of accidental unwinding of the ink film.
  • the tongue 6 is then detached from part 12 of the ribbon, its end 10 however remaining linked to the end 9 of the ribbon. This one can therefore be pulled out of the printer by pulling on the tab 6. Because the tape 5 is non-adhesive, this extraction is performed without difficulty.
  • the mandrel 2 is then put in place.
