Die in der Fig. 7 gezeigte Vorrichtung 22 weist eine als
Klammertransporteur 32 ausgebildete Fördereinrichtung 24
auf. An einem in Förderrichtung F kontinuierlich angetriebenen
Zugorgan 34 sind im Abstand hintereinander einzeln
steuerbare Klammern 36 angeordnet, die dazu bestimmt sind,
je ein Druckereiprodukt 10 zu halten. Die Druckereiprodukte
10 liegen, eine Schuppenformation S bildend, einander
teilweise überlappend aneinander an. Jedes der Druckereiprodukte
10 weist somit auf der dem Zugorgan 34 abgewandten
Seite einen freiliegenden Randbereich 38 auf, der von
keinem benachbarten Druckereiprodukt 10 überdeckt ist. Bezüglich
der Bewegungsbahn der Druckereiprodukte 10 dem
Zugorgan 34 gegenüberliegend, sind zwei Druckstationen 28,
30 angeordnet, die in Förderrichtung F gesehen voneinander
beabstandet sind. Die in Förderrichtung F erste Druckstation
28 ist dazu bestimmt, auf die an ihr mittels des
Klammertransporteurs 32 vorbeibewegten Druckereiprodukte
10 im Randbereich 38 ein das Beschriftungsfeld 12 bildendes
Kontrastfeld 14 aufzudrucken. Die der ersten Druckstation
28 nachgeschaltete zweite Druckstation 30 ist dazu
bestimmt, in das jeweilige Kontrastfeld 14 die dem Druckereiprodukt
10 zugeordnete Information 18' aufzudrucken.The
Die in der Fig. 8 gezeigte Vorrichtung 22 weist ebenfalls
eine als Klammertransporteur 32 ausgebildete Fördereinrichtung
24, gleich jener der Fig. 7, auf. Weiter ist die
Vorrichtung 22 mit einer Etikettiereinrichtung 40 versehen.
Diese weist eine Lageranordnung 42 zur Aufnahme einer
Vorratsrolle 44 eines teiltransparenten Bandes 46 auf. Das
Band 46 ist um Umlenkrollen 48 und eine Spannrolle 50 zu
einem Aufbringrad 52 einer Aufbringeinrichtung 54 geführt.
Das in Zuführrichtung Z drehend angetriebene Aufbringrad
52 weist in Umfangsrichtung verteilte Stempel 56 auf, die
in radialer Richtung ein- und ausfahrbar sind. Die Stempel
56 sind mittels Federn 58 in radialer Richtung gegen
aussen vorgespannt und entgegen der Federkraft in einem
Bereich ihrer Umlaufbahn in einer in radialer Richtung
innen liegenden Ruhelage, beispielsweise mittels einer
Kulisse, gehalten. Jeder der Stempel 56 ist auf seiner
radial aussenliegenden Seite mit Löchern versehen, die von
der Drehlage des Aufbringrades 52 abhängig mit einer nicht
gezeigten Unterdruckquelle verbunden sind. Bezüglich der
Bewegungsbahn der Druckereiprodukte 10 auf der dem Aufbringrad
52 gegenüberliegenden Seite weist die Aufbringeinrichtung
54 ein freidrehbar gelagertes Stützrad 60 auf.The
Weiter weist die Etikettiereinrichtung 40 ein sternartig
ausgebildetes Schneidrad 62 auf, dessen parallel zur Drehachse
verlaufenden Schneidelemente 64 dazu bestimmt sind,
mit Gegenflächen 66 des Aufbringrades 52 zwischen den
Stempeln 56 zusammenzuwirken.Furthermore, the
Weiter ist zwischen der Lageranordnung 42 und dem Aufbringrad
52 eine Klebstoffauftrageinrichtung 68 vorhanden,
die dazu bestimmt ist, auf das Band 46 auf der bezüglich
dem Aufbringrad 52 radial aussenliegenden Seite des Bandes
46 Klebstoff aufzutragen.Next is between the bearing
Die Etikettiereinrichtung 40 ist synchron zur Fördereinrichtung
24 angetrieben und dazu bestimmt, jedes Druckereiprodukt
10 im freiliegenden Randbereich 38 mit einem
eine Etikette 70' bildenden Abschnitt 70 des teiltransparenten
Bandes 46 zu versehen. Dieser Abschnitt 70 bildet
ein als Kontrastfeld 14 dienendes Beschriftungsfeld 12.
Zum Beschriften des Kontrastfeldes 14 weist die Vorrichtung
eine entweder der Etikettiereinrichtung 40 zugeordnete
Druckstation 72 oder eine der Fördereinrichtung 24
zugeordnete Druckstation 72' auf. Die Druckstation 72 ist
zwischen der Lageranordnung 42 und dem Aufbringrad 52 angeordnet
und dazu bestimmt, auf das teiltransparente Band
46 auf der dem Aufbringrad 52 zugewandten Seite die Beschriftung
18 anzubringen. Die in Förderrichtung F gesehen
stromabwärts des Aufbringrades 52 angeordnete Druckstation
72' ist dazu bestimmt, gleich der zweiten Druckstation 30
der Vorrichtungen gemäss Fig. 6 und 7, auf das durch jeweils
einen Abschnitt 70 gebildete und auf das betreffende
Druckereiprodukt 10 aufgeklebte Kontrastfeld 14 die Beschriftung
18 zu drucken. Eine als Führungsblech oder Führungsstäbe
ausgebildete Führung 74 dient dazu, die Druckereiprodukte
10 im Randbereich 38 während des Aufdruckens
der Beschriftung 18 zu stabilisieren.The
Die Etikettiereinrichtung 40 arbeitet wie folgt. Das über
einen Teil des Umfangs am Aufbringrad 52 anliegende Band
wird dadurch gehalten, dass die betreffenden Stempel 56
mit der Unterdruckquelle verbunden sind. Durch die Drehung
des Aufbringrades 52 in Zuführrichtung Z wird Band 46 ab
der Vorratsrolle 44 abgezogen. In Zuführrichtung Z gesehen,
unmittelbar bevor das Band 46 auf das Aufbringrad 52
aufläuft, wird der betreffende Stempel 56 in die radial
innenliegende Ruheposition verbracht und nachfolgend mit
der Unterdruckquelle verbunden. Das Schneidrad 62 trennt
mit jeweils einem mit der betreffenden Gegenfläche 66 zusammenwirkenden
Schneidelement 64 einen Abschnitt 70 vom
Band 46 ab. Dieser Abschnitt wird vom betreffenden Stempel
56, der weiterhin mit der Unterdruckquelle verbunden ist,
gehalten. Sobald dieser Stempel 56 den Bereich des
Schneidrades 62 verlassen hat, wird er in radialer Richtung
gegen aussen mittels der Feder 58 in Aufbringstellung
verbracht, wodurch er beim Weiterdrehen den von ihm gehaltenen
und vorgängig an der Klebstoffauftrageinrichtung 68
mit Klebstoff versehenen Abschnitt 70 im Randbereich 38
des betreffenden Druckereiprodukts 10 auf dieses aufbringt
und andrückt. Dabei werden die Öffnungen im Stempel 56 gelüftet,
so dass der Abschnitt 70 freigegeben wird. Das
Stützrad 60 verhindert dabei, dass die Druckereiprodukte
10 der Kraft der Stempel 56 ausweichen können.The
Als Druckstationen 28, 30, 72, 72' eignen sich insbesondere
solche, die nach dem Farbstrahldruckverfahren, Tintenstrahldruckverfahren
oder Ink jet printing arbeiten.Particularly suitable as
