Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tape printing device.
  • Tape printing devices of the type with which the present invention is concerned are known. They work with a supply of tape - with one image - and means of transfer of the picture on the tape.
  • the ribbon to be printed and the image transfer ribbon (Ribbon) are guided one above the other through a printing area of the tape printing device.
  • a tape printing device that works with a bracket housing of this type is e.g. in EP-A-0 267 890 (Varitronics, Inc.).
  • Other pressure equipment was manufactured in which letters on an image receiving tape by means of dry lettering or Dry film printing process are transferred.
  • the structure is in all these pressure devices the tape to be printed is substantially the same; i.e. it includes an upper, with a Image to be printed on a peelable layer using an adhesive layer Back layer is attached.
  • a tape holder case contains a supply printing tape, a supply of image transfer tape and a supply of self-adhesive Back band.
  • the back tape has an adhesive layer that is in contact is to be brought with the image receiving layer, a substrate layer and a second adhesive Layer covered with a peelable backing layer.
  • the letters are printed as a mirror image on the transparent image-receiving layer.
  • a tape holder housing contains a supply of image receiving tape and one Stock of image transfer tape, the image receiving tape having the same structure as in connection with EP-A-0 267 890 has been described above.
  • the tape printing device has no lid on the cassette receiving space.
  • Means for the detection of a cassette in the cassette receiving space are present and prevent a cassette lock lever from being used in the absence of a cassette operated.
  • the cartridge lock lever also stands with the printhead and the platen roller so that the printhead and platen roller are in an inoperative position when the cassette lock lever is in the unlocked position stands. The locking then brings the printhead and the platen into the operating position.
  • EP-A-0 607 023 discloses a tape printing device with a disclose Lid on the cassette receiving space and with means for detecting a cassette in the Cassette receiving space that allows the printing device to be operated only in the presence of a cassette and allow with the lid closed.
  • This device has two cassettes Use; one contains an image receiving tape and one contains an image transfer tape. It the presence of the image transfer tape cassette is detected.
  • the print head is operatively connected to the cover, so that the printhead and platen are in an inoperative position when the lid is open. Closing the lid brings the printhead and platen in the operating position.
  • the printhead and the platen exert pressure each other, which is required for printing.
  • printhead and platen roller in a non-operating position to move in which they are spaced apart. It can in the printhead or the platen roller can be moved. The movement can be coupled with a cover that the cassette receiving space of the tape printing device closes to the outside.
  • a disadvantage of the known tape printing devices is that there is contact between Back-up roller and printhead exist even when there is no cassette inserted and the lid is closed. Due to the contact pressure of the print head the elastic counter-pressure roller deforms much more strongly, as if a tape is inserted. It is obvious that the one is not exact circular-cylindrical counter-pressure roller, no high print quality is to be expected.
  • the object of the invention is to: To create tape printing device in which a good print quality is always to be expected.
  • the main idea of the invention is to check whether a cassette is working properly was inserted into the cassette receiving area of the tape printing device, and only then move the printhead and platen into it Allow operating position if a cassette is inserted. Otherwise, if So there is no cartridge, a movement of the print head and the Back pressure roller prevented in the operating position, so that no contact between Back pressure roller and printhead is possible.
  • the advantages of the invention consist primarily in the fact that there are no undesirable ones Deformation of the counter-pressure roller is more to be feared, so that always a perfect one Print quality is guaranteed.
  • the printhead or the counter-pressure roller be known per se Way to mount on a bracket between a position in which the printhead and platen are in the operating position and a position in the printhead and platen are in the non-operating position, movable is.
  • the means for detecting an inserted cassette are then designed that they limit the movement of the bracket so that the bracket is not in the position corresponding to the operating position can reach as long as no cassette is inserted. Otherwise, with the cassette inserted, the limitation is Movement of the holder of course ineffective, so that the print head and counter-pressure roller can be brought into the operating position as usual.
  • the holder is always in one position when removing a cassette which corresponds to a decommissioning of the printhead and counter-pressure roller, otherwise the cassette cannot be removed. It's over therefore sufficient, the movement of the bracket from the inoperative position limit in the direction of the operating position.
  • the movement of the holder when the cassette is not inserted is sufficient limit so far that the printhead and the platen roller are not in contact come together so that the undesired deformation of the latter is prevented is.
  • the bracket it would be conceivable, but not absolutely necessary, the bracket to lock in a position corresponding to the inoperative position.
  • the means of detection be in the cassette receiving space fitted cassette with a movable element that is movable by an inserted cassette.
  • the item can have two positions take: the first position is reached when no cassette is inserted; The printhead and the platen roller cannot get into their operating position. Is however, if one cassette is inserted correctly, the element takes the second Position in which an operating position of the print head and counter-pressure roller can be reached is.
  • the element is slidably or rotatably mounted.
  • a appropriate spring can be used.
  • A can be used to align the element laterally in an inserted cassette Opening or recess must be made in the latter.
  • the element then has one corresponding head penetrating the opening.
  • the element Since the element is in contact with an inserted cassette, it must (for Part) are in the cassette receiving room.
  • the rest of the mechanism like the movable one
  • the printhead or the counter pressure roller are located in the Rule, however, not in the cassette receiving room, but beyond a base plate. Therefore, the element preferably penetrates a corresponding opening in the base plate, in which it can also be stored.
  • the invention further comprises: a tape printing device according to one of claims 1 to 8; and a cassette inserted in or for insertion in the cassette receiving space with the means for detecting a cassette works together so that the print head and the platen roll in the operating position with the cassette inserted.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the top view of a cassette receiving space of a tape printing device.
  • the cassette receiving space is represented by the dashed line 2. It contains a (thermal) print head holder 4 and a counter-pressure roller 6, which work together and define a pressure zone P in a manner known per se.
  • the print head holder 4 is pivotally mounted about a pivot point 8, so that the Printhead can be brought into contact with the printing roller 6 and moved away from it can be to take out and replace a cartridge 10.
  • a cassette inserted in the cassette accommodating space 2 has the reference number 10 provided.
  • the cassette 10 contains a supply roll 12 with to be printed Band 14 which includes an image receiving layer 31 which is formed by means of an adhesive layer is attached to a back layer 32.
  • the tape 14 to be printed is through guided a guide mechanism, not shown, through the cassette 10 and leaves it shortly after the pressure zone through an outlet O and then reaches one Cutting location C.
  • the cassette 10 also contains a ribbon supply roll 16 and a ribbon take-up roll 18.
  • the ribbon 20 is taken from the ribbon supply roll 16 passed through the printing zone P and wound up on the ribbon take-up reel 18.
  • the ribbon 14 to be printed runs together with the ink ribbon 20 Printing zone P with its image-receiving layer 31 in contact with the ink ribbon 20 stands.
  • the counter-pressure roller 6 is driven, so that it rotates and the tape 14 to be printed during the printing process through the pressure zone P.
  • the tape 14 is printed and by the printing zone P to the cutting zone C.
  • the cutting zone C is on the wall the cassette 10 is provided near the printing zone P. Because the tape 14 by the drive the platen 6 is pulled out of the cassette 10, none additional belt advance mechanism required; the cutting zone C is close to the Pressure zone arranged.
  • the part of the wall of the cassette 10 that the cutting zone C defined, is identified by reference numeral 22.
  • a slot 24 is in this Section 22 of the wall included.
  • the tape 14 to be printed is from the Pressure zone P is moved to the cutting zone C, where it is from opposite Wall sections on both sides of the slot 24 is supported.
  • the tape printing device includes a cutting mechanism indicated by the reference number 26 is marked.
  • This cutting mechanism 26 includes one Knife holder 28, which carries a blade 30.
  • the blade 30 cuts the band 14 and then enters slot 24.
  • the cutting mechanism 26 in reproduced in its ready-to-cut condition, i.e. the blade 30 is off the tape 14 spaced. This enables the free end face of the band 14 through the Cutting zone C is transported without running the risk of getting caught or being distracted.
  • FIG. 3 shows a view (shown from below of FIG. 1) of a Print head holder 4, which in a manner known per se between two positions 34,36 is pivotable about the pivot point 8.
  • Position 34 the pivotable print head holder 4 is positioned so that the Printhead 32 is spaced from the platen 6.
  • the print position is the printhead holder 4 pivoted in the direction of arrow 40 clockwise so that the Printhead 32 abuts the platen roller 6.
  • the pressure force of the print head 32 is generated by means of a spring 38 which is on the opposite side of the print head 32 End of the two-armed print head holder 4 is fixed.
  • the pivoting movement usually takes place through a cassette receiving space 2 to the outside final, hinged cover, which is connected to the thermal print head holder 4 interacts so that the print head holder 4 is in position 34 when the cover is open located while it is pivoted to position 36 with the lid closed.
  • a corresponding mechanism is disclosed in EP-A-487 313. Noteworthy is that the arm of the print head holder 4 drawn in to the right of the pivot point 8 is arranged below the cassette receiving space 2 of the tape printing device, so that he is not recognizable in Figure 1 is - it is through the floor of the cassette receiving room 2 covered.
  • FIG. 4 shows the same view as in FIG. 3; it however, a print head holder stop 46 is provided on which the print head holder 4 in the area of his right hand, the print head 32 opposite arm rests.
  • the print head holder stop 46 prevents the spring 38 in the printhead holder 4 in spends position 36.
  • the latter is therefore in one Position 42 in which the printhead 32 is off the platen 6 is spaced so that the latter cannot deform.
  • the position 42 can at least approximately with the position 34 match, but also a swivel angle of the print head holder 4 correspond to an intermediate position between corresponds to positions 34 and 36 insofar as print head 32 does not abut the counter-pressure roller 6.
  • the side view shown in FIG. 5 shows that the print head holder stop 46 is substantially U-shaped is.
  • a shorter arm, drawn on the right, is used for Limiting the pivoting movement of the print head holder 4 while the second, also vertically oriented arm of the print head holder stop 46 a base plate 48 which is below the floor of the cassette receiving space 2 is provided.
  • the base plate 48 runs parallel to the bottom of the cassette receiving space 2.
  • a cylindrical head 50 is provided, which is spaced from its end face with a circumferential, annular shoulder 51 is provided.
  • Paragraph 51 serves as Stop for a coil spring surrounding the second arm 52 52, which bears against the base plate 48 at the other end.
  • the Printhead holder stop 46 is in the one penetrated by it Base plate 48 slidably mounted in the vertical direction. In 5, the print head holder stop 46 lies on the print head holder 4 so that it is in position 42 accordingly Figure 4 is located.
  • FIG. 6 shows a cassette 10 in the cassette receiving space 2 inserted. It has an opening 53 into which the head 50 of the second arm of the print head holder stopper 46 penetrates. The opening 53 causes a lateral guidance of the head 50 and prevents cassettes 10 that do not fit from being inserted can. Since the ring 51 rests on the cassette 10, it becomes pressed downwards in the direction of the base plate 48. Consequently the print head holder stop 46 (relative to FIG. 5) is vertical moved downward so that the coil spring 52 is compressed and the first, shorter arm of the printhead holder stop 46 a movement of the print head holder 4 between the first position 34 and the second position 36 allowed. There a cassette 10 is inserted, there are no concerns to press the print head 32 against the counter-pressure roller 6. The - for example through a lid of the cassette receiving space 2 or a corresponding lever - swivel movement of the print head holder 4 can now be as shown in Figure 3 run.
