Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved label stamper which is capable of stamping prices on labels attached on a tape so as to attach the stamped labels on commodities.
- the label stamper is a machine which stamps prices on labels to attach them on commodities.
- the label stamper has a complicated structure.
- the label stamper includes: (1) a means for loading a label tape into a case; (2) a guide means for guiding the loaded label tape toward a stamper; (3) a holding means for firmly holding the guided label tape onto the stamper; (4) a stamping means for stamping prices on labels; and (5) a carrying means for attaching the stamped labels on commodities, and for pulling the empty tape to discharge it to the outside.
- These means have various structures respectively, and the constitution of the structures of the different means decide the superiority of the label stamper.
- the tape carrying roller is secured to the machine by means of supporting shafts, and therefore, the assembling procedure is very complicated. Further, they cannot maintain balance with the other assembling procedure of the other components, and therefore, the production line stopped frequently, with the result that the production cost is increased. Further, even if the carrying roller is damaged during the use, its replacement is almost impossible, with the result that the whole stamping machine becomes useless.
- the present invention is intended to overcome the above described disadvantages of the conventional techniques.
- the tape loading means of the label stamper according to the present invention is constituted such that a loading case goes in and out of the machine by functions of a pair of folding and extending legs, so that the label tape can be loaded in a convenient manner.
- the guide means for the label tape according to the present invention is constituted such that a front plate and a rear plate are fastened across a narrow gap, and in this gap, a guide channel is formed. A side of this channel is open, and the tape is inserted into the open portion of the channel in a convenient and speedy manner.
- the holding means of the label stamper according to the present invention is constituted such that a push plate is disposed facing toward a base plate, and the push plate interlocks a movable lever to the loading case.
- the stamping means of the label stamper according to the present invention is constituted as follows. That is, a selecting hole of a selecting wheel for driving a stamping belt is provided with a recess and a triangular protuberance. Thus two selecting wheels will never be engaged simultaneously, and fingers of a selecting bar are accurately coupled to the selected wheel. Therefore, the desired characters can be accurately and conveniently selected.
- the stamping means includes an ink roller of a known type and an interlocking mechanism for the ink roller.
- the carrying rollers for the tape are provided in the form of a cartridge, and this cartridge is replaceably accommodated within a cartridge room. This improves the compactness and the performance of the label stamper, and the cartridge can be conveniently replaced.
- the label stamper according to the present invention shows improved functions, with the result that the label stamper is not liable to disorders, and its use is convenient.
- the label stamper according to the present invention includes:
- the above described function means 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 have improved structures compared with the conventional means.
- FIG. 1-1 is a perspective view showing the tape loading means 100 of the label stamper of the present invention, with the side plate removed.
- FIG. 1-2 is a side view showing the loaded state of the tape roll.
- FIG. 1-3 is a longitudinal sectional view of it.
- a tape loading room 102 is formed at a middle of a main body 101.
- the tape loading room 102 is surrounded by side plates 102a, and its top is open.
- On one of the side plates 102a of the tape loading room 102 there are disposed a pair of joint type legs 104 supported by shafts 105 and 105'.
- a loading case 103 is disposed above the legs 104.
- a torsion spring 105s is installed on each of the legs 104, so that the legs 104 can be extended.
- a shaft 103b projects at the middle of the side plate 103a. Another side of the loading case 103 is open. The outer end of the shaft 103b forms a free end 103b'.
- a plurality of labels 106a are attached aligned in one straight line on a tape 106, this being a known type.
- a shaft hole 106b of a tape roll 106r on which the tape 106 is wound is fitted to the shaft 103b from the free end 103b', thereby loading the tape roll into the loading case 103.
- An arcuate cover 103c is disposed above the loading case 103, and the cover 103c is provided with an engaging step 103d.
- the loading room 102 is provided with a locking lever 103e having an engaging step 103d', so that it can be coupled to the engaging step 103d of the cover 103c.
- the engaging step 103d of the cover 103c is coupled to the engaging step 103d' of the locking lever 103e so as to be locked.
- the cover 103c which is disposed above the loading case 103 arcuately covers the loading room 102, thereby protecting the tape.
- the lower half portion of the loading case 103 is inserted into the loading room 102, while the upper half portion of the loading case 103 is exposed above the main body. Therefore, the remaining amount of the tape can be confirmed visually.
- a part of the tape roll 106b is exposed to the outside of the loading room 102, the tape roll does not depart from the loading room.
- Each of the legs 104 of the loading case 103 consists of an upper leg 104a and a lower leg 104b, these two being connected by a shaft 104d of a joint 104c. That is, the upper and lower legs are connected by a hinge, so that the legs 104 can be folded and extended.
- the upper and lower portions of the upper and lower legs 104a and 104b are provided with teeth 104g and 104g' like gears, and these teeth are meshed together. Owing to the mesh of the teeth, the upper and lower legs 104a and 104b of the two legs 104 actuate at the same angle, so that the loading case can move vertically up and down.
- a torsion spring 105s is installed on each of the shafts 105' of the legs 104, thereby providing elastic forces to the legs 104.
- the locking lever 103e is pulled to a side to release the two engaged engaging steps 103d and 103d', then the folded legs 104 extend upward as shown in Table 1-3. Under this condition, owing to the extension of the legs 104, the loading case 103 which has been accommodated within the loading room 102 protrudes upward. When the loading case is thus protruded, the tape roll 106r can be loaded in a convenient manner.
- This loading device is improved compared with the conventional ones, while its aesthetic appearance is nice, as well as being convenient to use.

- a side plate 202 of the main body 101 is divided into a front side plate 202a and a rear side plate 202b. These two side plates 202a and 202b are attached onto a side of the main body 101 through screws 205 and screw holes 205a and 205b, leaving a small gap between them. This gap is a guide channel 203 through which the tape runs.
- a guide plate 202c is formed on the front end of the rear plate 202b, and this guide plate 202c forms a side wall of the guide channel 203.
- the guide channel 203 is bent in an L shape. However, it will not be limited to the drawn shape, but can be modified to any other shape.
- the contours of the front and rear plates 202a and 202b are varied. Further, the guide channel 203 is decided by the front and rear plates 202a and 202b. This channel 203 is open, and this feature is that which is different from the conventional ones.
- the tape 106 which is accommodated within the loading room 102 can be inserted into the guide channel 203 through the open portion. This is an improved feature compared with the conventional ones in which the tape is inserted into a guide hole.
- the guide channel 203 guides the label tape 106 into under a stamp P, so that the labels can be stamped.
- a base plate 206 which is formed on the rear side plate 202b (refer to FIG. 3-1).
- the base plate 206 is a pad for supporting the stamping. Facing to a sharp edge of the base plate 206, there is an attaching roller 207 which is rotatably secured on the lower end of the front side plate 202a.
- the stamped labels 106a are detached from the tape 106 at the sharp edge of the base plate 206 due to the bent running of the tape. Then the detached labels are attached onto the commodities owing to the pressing of the attaching roller 207. That is, if the handle 204 is grasped, and if the attaching roller 207 is rubbed onto the commodity, then the label is attached onto the commodity.
- FIG. 3-1 is an exploded perspective view showing the holding means 300 for the label tape of the present invention.
- FIG. 3-2 is a side view showing the critical portion of the holding means.
- FIG. 3-3 illustrates the operating state of the label tape.
- the tape holding means 300 is a device which lightly presses the label tape when stamping it, so that the label tape would not be oscillated.
- the base plate 206 faces the stamping device P in an inclined posture.
- a push plate 303 which is installed movably up and down by means of a retaining portion 303a and supporting shaft 305. Owing to the force of the coil spring 304, the push plate 303 presses the base plate 206, so that the tape 106 would be secured on the base plate 206.
- an interlocking lever 306 which is coupled to a shaft 305a by means of a shaft hole 306c together with a coil spring 304a.
- An actuation lever 307 which is installed on the main body 101 contacts with a recessed cam portion 306a of the lever 306.
- a roller 301 which is installed on a shaft 302 of the lever 306 presses or releases the label tape 106 which has been inserted into the guide channel 203. Therefore, when the tape runs, an excessive loosening of the tape is prevented.
- connection bar 310 is connected to a connection groove 104e and a connection groove 306d by means of shafts 310a and 310b.
- connection bar 310 pushes the upper portion of the interlocking lever 306 to the left, and therefore, the lower portion 306b of the lever 306 departs from the lever 303b of the push plate 303.
- the push plate 303 closely contacts to the base plate 206 to lightly press down the tape on the base plate 206. This prevents the movements of the label tape during the stamping, so that the stamping can be made on the accurate positions.
- the connection bar 310 is pulled to the right by the legs 104. Therefore, the lower portion 306b of the lever 306 moves to the left, and therefore, the lower portion 306b of the lever 306 presses down the lever 303b of the push plate 303, with the result that the push plate 303 departs from the base plate 206. Under this condition, the tape 106 can be easily inserted into between the push plate 303 and the base plate 206 during a replacement of the tape.

- the label stamper can be operated as follows. That is, if the handle 204 and the hand lever 204a are held by hand, and if the two are pressed together like when manipulating a scissor, then the actuation lever 307 moves downward. As a result, ink is spread on the relevant character block of the stamping belt 403 by the ink roller Ro, and the price is stamped on the label 106a which is held between the push plate 303 and the base plate 206. Then if the grasped hand lever 204a is released, then the hand lever 204a is spread owing to the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 204s. At the same time, the actuation lever 307 moves upward. Thus the stamping device P is restored to the original position. Under this condition, the actuation piece 502 moves to the left and right, so that the crank shaft 505b of the carrying cartridge would be rotated clockwise and anticlockwise.
- the ratchet wheel 505 is rotated, with the result that the carrying roller 504 revolves as much as the rotated angle of the ratchet wheel 505.
- the tape which is partly wound on the carrying roller is carried.
- the carrying distance is equal to the width of a label 106a which is attached on the tape.
- the stamped labels are attached on the tape, but owing to the sharp triangular edge of the base plate 206, the tape is bent at that point, so that the labels would be detached from the tape.
- the tape plays the role of a conveyor for the labels, and this is a known feature.
- the tape loading means 100, the tape guide means 200, the label tape holding means 300, the label stamping means 400 and the tape carrying means 500 in the label stamper according to the present invention have novel features compared with the conventional ones.
- the loading case is made to project to the outside of the main body, so that the tape can be loaded in a speedy and simple manner.
- a side of the guide channel is open, and therefore, the tape can be easily inserted into the guide channel. Further, the tape guiding distance is short.
- the tape holding means presses the tape onto the base plate in an automatic manner owing to the up and down movements of the loading case. Therefore an additional devices are not needed unlike the conventional ones. Therefore, an attention is not required to the pressing of the tape onto the base plate.
- the selecting hole of the selecting wheel of the stamping means is provided with recesses and triangular protuberances. Therefore, owing to the triangular protuberances, the fingers of the selecting bar are coupled to only one selecting wheel in an accurate manner. Therefore unlike the conventional ones, the relevant character blocks can be accurately selected and arranged.
- the tape carrying means is provided in the form of a cartridge. Therefore the manufacturing cost for the label stamper can be saved in carrying out its mass production. Further, if the carrying roller is damaged during the use, it can be replaced in a simple manner, and therefore, the label stamper can be conveniently used even in a crowded store.
