Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a shrink tube holder with non-shrunk shrink tubing, which can be used in printers with whom the held heat shrink tubing can be printed, wherein the consisting of a flat substrate holder at certain intervals the flattened shrink tubing for mounting and subsequent shrinking on cable ends detachable from the holder receives and two tongues of the carrier material per shrink tube are inserted into the two ends of each shrink tube.
  • the present invention also provides a method of printing such heat shrink tubing and inserting cables into the printed heat shrink tubing.
  • Shrink tubing is used to mark the ends of electrical cables in technical equipment and installations.
  • the heat shrink tubing is first labeled before putting on and shrinking on the cables, which happens with larger quantities using printers.
  • Simple shrink tube holders are for example from the US 3,985,852 known.
  • the carrier material has spaced long tongues on which the individual heat shrink tubing are attached in defined positions. The tongues extend through the entire heat shrink tubing in order to stabilize it for transporting and printing in a printer.
  • the printed shrink tubes are then removed from the tongues and then threaded onto the cable ends.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that the shrink tubing does not always assume a well-defined position on the tongues and exist due to the only one-sided fixing of the tongues on the carrier material additional flexibility in the shrink tube holder, which affect the quality of the printed image.
  • a shrink tube holder of the type mentioned is from the Canadian Patent No. 1,262,045 known.
  • Such a shrink tube holder provides better stability for the heat shrink tubing, however, the two tongues close the ends of the shrink tubing so that they must be removed from the holder before mounting on the wire. With respect to the Auf ists on the wire arises compared to holders with only one tongue, which protrudes through the shrink tube, no handling improvement.
  • a similar shrink tube holder is from the Canadian Patent No. 1,293,476 known.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a shrink tube holder, which allows the two-sided printability of the shrink tubing and at the same time simplifies their handling when mounting on the cable ends.
  • the object is achieved in that at a shrink tube holder of the type described above, at least one of the two tongues per heat shrink tubing has a center slot.
  • the shrink tube holder according to the invention has the advantage that the shrink tubes are fixed on the one hand by the two separate tongues stable in position on the carrier material, so that a good print image can be achieved.
  • By holding over the central engaging tongues, is also easy given a two-sided printability of the shrink tubing, because the tube also centers automatically.
  • the heat-shrinkable tube can also be pulled well from the tongues on both sides, since the carrier material has sufficient strength to fix the heat-shrinkable tube in the printer, but the tongues give way under targeted load.
  • the slot in at least one of the two tongues ensures that at this point a cable can be easily inserted, especially since the two layers of the shrink tube are kept apart even in the flattened state by at least the thickness of the carrier material due to the tongue. This results in the advantage that the cable is inserted directly into the still connected to the carrier material shrink tube and this can then be easily separated from the shrink tube holder with the aid of the cable.
  • both tongues have a central slot.
  • the user is regardless of which side he approaches with the cable to the shrink tube, which also has the advantage that left and right-handed users can use the shrink tube holder equally well.
  • Advantages also arise during threading in that through the slot on the opposite side, the inserted cable can also be easily pulled out of the shrinking tube.
  • the shrink tubing are each arranged in a recess of the carrier material, at the ends of the tongues are arranged.
  • the heat-shrink tubing are enclosed by the carrier material, a better stability results, which is based on the Print quality and handling of the shrink tube holder in the printer has a positive effect.
  • the slots extend beyond the tongue ends into the transport material in order to have sufficient space for the insertion of even rigid cables available.
  • an embodiment is advantageous in which the carrier material between holding portions of a single shrink tubing has parting lines for easy separation.
  • a parting line which may be represented for example by a perforation, allows the separation of the entire holding area, so that the advantages when threading the cable into the shrink tube and regardless of the printing of the shrink tube holder can be used elsewhere.
  • plastic film As a suitable material for the carrier material, plastic film has been found, and with suitable strength in principle, paper materials can be used as a carrier material.
  • the carrier material preferably has recesses for the intervention of transport means, which enable a precise transporting of the shrink tube holder in the printer.
  • the perforation is arranged in the region of the joints in order not to weaken the shrink tube holder as a whole and to simplify their training.
  • the present invention also provides a method of printing a shrink tube and threading a cable into said shrink tube for marking purposes is used.
  • the shrink tubing are held in a shrink tube holder at certain distances from each other, with tongues of the holder engage on both sides in the shrink tubing, the holder is transported by a printer in which the shrink tubing are printed on one side or beidseitg, the cable through a slot , which is arranged centrally in at least one of the tongues, are introduced into the heat-shrinkable tube, and finally the heat-shrinkable tube is pulled out of the holder with the aid of the cable with deformation of the tongues.
  • the method has the advantage that the cable can be inserted directly into the still fixed to the holder shrink tube, wherein the interior of the shrink tube is spread by the slotted tongue and thus the insertion of the wire end is facilitated.
  • a further development of the method can provide that the shrink tube holder can be separated in sections for each shrink tube and a shrink tube with the holding area provided for threading the cable is separated from the remaining shrink tube holder.
  • Fig. 1 shows a representation of how a shrink tube holder 10, which is designed as an endless holder, and is stored for example on a roll, from a suitably suitable Continuous printer is removed.
  • the printer itself is not the subject of the present invention and therefore not shown.
  • the shrink tubing holder 10 consists of a flat carrier material 12 made of plastic, wherein a respective shrinking tube 14 is associated with a separate holding portion 16 and the individual holding areas can be separated from each other by a respective parting line 18, which is formed for example by a perforation.
  • Recesses 20 are provided in the individual holding regions, on the edge regions of which tongues 22 each extend, which project into the flattened shrink tubes 14.
  • the tongues 22 each have a slot 24 in the middle, which extends rearwardly beyond the tongues into the carrier material.
  • the slots 24 are formed on both sides of the heat shrink tubing in the substrate 12, but there are also embodiments with only one slot and corresponding to a continuous tongue on the opposite side possible.
  • the slotted tongues 22 simultaneously hold the two walls of the flattened shrink tubing 14 at a distance which corresponds at least to the thickness of the carrier material 12.
  • This will thread a cable 26 as shown in FIG Fig. 1 is illustrated, simplified, it being noted as a further advantage that the cable 26 can be held with one hand and the support material 12 with the other hand, so that the threading is much easier than with a previously separated from the substrate shrink tubing 14th
  • the shrink tube 14 be detached from the shrink tube carrier 10.
  • the tongues 22 deviate laterally, so that the heat-shrinkable tube 14 is not damaged.
  • the shrink tube holder 10 has recesses 28, which are each arranged in the region of the parting lines 18, by means of which the shrink tube holder 10 and thus arranged on him shrink tubing 14 can be positioned exactly in the printer, wherein the feed by entrainment of the edges of the recesses 28 takes place.
  • the shrink tube 14 can be printed on both sides due to its inclusion in the open recesses 20, so that a good legibility of the mark after assembly is given under all circumstances.
