Definitions
- the present invention relates to tape printing devices and is particularly concerned with with a tape cassette for use therein.
- Tape printing devices of the general type with which the present invention relates are known. You work with a tape supply that is used to hold a Image is set up, and means for transferring the image to the tape.
- a tape holder housing that a supply of the image receiving tape and a supply of an image transfer belt is provided, wherein the image receiving tape and the image transfer tape overlap by a printing area of the tape printing device.
- a tape printing device that comes with a tape holder housing of this type works, e.g. in EP-A-0267890 (Varitronics, Inc.).
- the structure of what is to be printed is Band essentially the same. That is, it includes an upper layer for receiving an image that is attached to a peelable backing layer using an adhesive layer is attached.
- the top layer can either take an image on its top surface, with its bottom surface covered by an adhesive layer on the removable backing layer attached, or alternatively the top layer may be transparent and take a picture on one of their faces, which is printed as a mirror image, so that it is seen the right way through the other surface of the tape.
- a double-sided adhesive layer can be applied to the top layer be, the double-sided adhesive layer a peelable backing layer Has. This latter arrangement is described, for example, in EP-A-0322918 (Brother Kogyo KK).
- two separate tape holder housings are provided, one contains image receiving tape and the other contains an image transfer ribbon.
- the device provides a way of identifying the width of the band within the Have tape holder housing so that printing is done correctly or prevented can be used if an incorrect tape has been inserted. If For example, if a ribbon of a smaller width is used, printing on the The area of the tape should be limited in width, and should not be limited to one for a wide band.
- tape holder housings are of different widths set up so that different microswitches are operated when that Tape holder housing is inserted into the printing device.
- width of the Band by a variation in the outer shape of the band holder housing identified.
- EP-A-0526078 the shape of a tape holder housing interacts with an optical sensor to identify the width of the tape in it.
- EP-A-0234304 a discrimination switch is provided to choose among different Distinguish colors of a ribbon.
- the discrimination switch is only activated if a multi-color ribbon is contained in a cassette.
- EP-A-0634274 discloses a tape printing device of the type with which the present invention is concerned Invention deals.
- a slide switch is arranged, the the control of the tape printing device via the type of the inserted tape holder housing informed, in particular about the width of the image reception band. Since the tape holder housing can only be used when the slide switch in a tape holder housing corresponding (and identifying) Position, the user must slide the slide switch to the appropriate position spend before he can insert the cassette, otherwise it will not be in fits the cassette receiving space.
- a similar arrangement is in GB-A-2309938 according to which the slide switch can identify whether the tape holder housing a thermal direct printing ribbon or a ribbon for thermal transfer printing contains. The control of the tape printing device can thus make the appropriate settings for the print head energy.
- a disadvantage of the cassettes described in the last two documents is that the user manually slide the slide switch to the appropriate position before he can insert the tape holder housing.
- EP-A-0 773 110 discloses a set of at least two cassettes which are different Have agents together. When connecting with The setting of the appropriate parameters is secured in a pressure device by means of a switch.
- a combination of one is provided Printing device and a tape holder housing containing a printable tape, wherein the printing device has an area for receiving the tape holder housing and has a slide switch in the area, the slide switch is movable between at least a first and a second position, and the tape holder case of a first type and provided with a recess which is arranged such that the tape holder housing without interference can be used by the switch in the area when the switch in the is the first position, characterized in that the tape holder housing the first type is equipped with a device which is arranged such that the switch while inserting the tape holder housing into the area in the first position when the switch is originally in the second position.
- the tape holder housing of the first type is thus equipped with a device die - while inserting the housing into the receiving area the pressure device - if necessary, move the switch to the first position, ie. if the switch is not in the first position. Should the opposite be the To be the case, ie. the switch is already in the first position, enter the device and the switch doesn't interact at all; thus the switch recorded in a recess of the tape holder housing, as in the prior art Technology is known.
- the advantage of the invention is thus that the user does not use the slide switch must manually spend in the correct position, since this automatically during the We carried out the installation of the tape holder housing.
- the invention can be found in Tape cartridges are used in printing devices already available on the market are usable.
- a tape holder case of a second type which is a tape of a second type, which differs from the type of tape in the tape holder housing of the first type.
- the tape holder housing of the second type is provided with a recess arranged in such a way that the tape holder housing without being affected by the switch in the Range can be used when the switch is in the second position, and that Tape holder housing of the second type is equipped with a device which is arranged so that the switch during insertion of the tape holder housing of the second type in the area in the second position when the switch is initially in the first position.
- the tape holder case of the second type is similar to the tape holder case of the first type, but symmetrical about it in that it moves the switch from the first position to the second position if necessary.
- the respective tapes in the tape holder housings of the first and second Types can have different widths. Alternatively or additionally you can they are made of different materials (direct thermal printing material or thermal transfer material, as mentioned in GB-A-2309938) which have different printhead energies exhibit. Alternatively, the first type of tape can be lamination material be printed from top to bottom (inverted or mirrored), and the second type is printed directly. A distinction between these two Types of tape are described in EP-A-0555888.
- a tape holder housing provided which contains a printable tape for use in a Printing device, wherein the printing device has an area for receiving the tape holder housing and has a slide switch in the area, the Slide switch at least between a first and a second position and the tape holder case of a first type and with a Recess is equipped, which is arranged so that the tape holder housing can be picked up without being influenced by the switch when the switch is in the is the first position, characterized in that the tape holder housing the first type is equipped with a device which is arranged such that the switch while inserting the tape holder housing into the area is moved to the first position when the switch is originally in the second Position is.
- FIG. 1 shows a view of a cassette receiving space of a printing device.
- the Cassette recording space is represented by the dotted line 2.
- the cassette recording room comprises a thermal print head 4 and a platen 6, the work together to define a printing location P in a known manner.
- the Printhead 4 is pivotable about a pivot point 8 so that it can be printed in Can be brought into contact with the printing roller 6 and moved away from the printing roller to remove and replace a cassette.
- a cassette inserted into the cassette accommodating space 2 is generally through the reference numeral 10 reproduced.
- the cassette contains a supply reel 12 with image-receiving tape 14, which comprises an image-receiving layer through a Adhesive layer is connected to a back layer.
- the image reception band 14 is guided through the cassette by a guide mechanism (not shown) led out of the cassette to an outlet O, past the printing location P. to a cutting location C.
- the cassette 10 also has a ribbon supply spool 16 and a ribbon take-up spool 18.
- the ribbon 20 is taken from the ribbon supply spool 16 through the printing location P and is from the ribbon take-up spool 18 added.
- the image receiving tape 14 passes through in superimposition with the ink ribbon 20 the printing location P, with its image receiving layer in Is in contact with the ribbon.
- the printing roller 6 is driven so that it rotates along the image receiving belt 14 during printing To print location 14. In this way, tape is printed and from the printing location P promoted to cutting location C.
- the portion of the wall of the cassette 10 on which the Cutting location C is defined, is represented by reference numeral 22.
- On Slot 24 is defined in this band section and the image receiving band 14 becomes from the printing location P to the cutting location C.
- the printing device includes a cutting mechanism, indicated generally by the reference number 26 is reproduced.
- This cutting mechanism includes one Knife carrier element 28, which carries a blade 30.
- the blade 30 cuts that Image receiving belt 14 and then enters slot 24 with the front part 31a of their edge 31 first, instead of acting against an anvil. Operation of the Cutting mechanism is described in detail in EP-A-0627317.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic partial section along the line II-II in Figure 1.
- the reference number 10 again represents a cassette of a first type, which contains, for example, an image receiving tape 14 of a first width of 12 mm.
- Numeral 32 indicates a switch and numeral 34 an operating part the switch again.
- Switch 32 can be a normal two (or more) position slide switch be conveniently located under the floor 3 of the cassette receiving space is attached so that the actuator 34 through a slot 40 to protrudes above the bottom 3 of the cassette receiving area.
- the actuator 34 of switch 32 can be between a first position (shown in Figure 3) is) and a second position shown in Figure 2.
- the Cassette 10 of the first type which contains 12 mm wide tape, has a recess 36 on its underside, which is arranged to receive the actuating part 34 of the switch when it is in the first position (this is the position shown in Figure 3).
- the switch 32 is via a line 38 to a microprocessor (not shown) connected, which transmits a signal to the microprocessor, which the Position of the actuator 34 of the switch identified.
- the microprocessor uses this information to determine the width of the selected tape.
- the operating part 34 of the switch 32 is between that shown in Figure 2 second position and the first position, which is shown in Figure 3, movable.
- the first position is intended to identify the first bandwidth of 12 mm is used.
- the second position it is intended to identify that a second bandwidth of e.g. 6 mm is used.
- the cassette 10 of the first type is thus equipped with a recess 36, which at one Side has a ramp which is shaped so that it the slide switch 32 in spends the first position automatically during the insertion of the cassette 10 in the cassette receiving space 2. This is illustrated in Figures 2 and 3; through the mechanical Interaction between ramp 42 and actuator 34 is the Switch 32 is moved to the first position while the cartridge is being inserted.
- a cassette 10 of the second type (not shown) would thus have a recess 36 have a rectangular part on the right side, so that it over the operating part 34 of the slide switch 32 fits when the latter is in the second position and a ramp for sliding the operating part 34 of the slide switch 32 to the second position when the switch 32 is in the first position.
