Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Aufwickelhaspel für einen Etikettenspender gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und auf ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13.The invention relates to a take-up reel for a label dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method with the features of claim 13.

Eine gattungsgemäße Aufwickelhaspel und ein entsprechendes Verfahren sind aus der US 3,421,712 bekannt. Weiterhin ist es aus der DE 199 42 310 C1 eine Aufwickelhaspel bekannt, die drei an einem rotierenden Drehelement aufgenommene und um eine rotierende Achse drehende Stangen umfasst, auf die ein leeres Etikettenträgerband aufgewickelt wird. Die drei Stangen sind auf einem gemeinsamen Radius um die Drehachse der Aufwickelhaspel angeordnet. Um eine aufgewickelte Etikettenträgerbandrolle von der Aufwickelhaspel herunterzunehmen, ist es notwendig, wenigstens eine dieser drei Stangen mit ihrem freien Ende nach innen in Richtung der Drehachse zu biegen, um die Reibung des Etikettenträgerbands an den Stangen soweit zu reduzieren, dass die Etikettenträgerbandrolle in Richtung der freien Enden der Stangen manuell herunterziehbar ist. Nachteilig daran ist der Kraftaufwand, der mit einer Hand an der Aufwickelhaspel selbst vorgenommen wird, wobei die Rolle mit der anderen Hand heruntergenommen werden muss, welches ergonomisch ungünstig ist.A generic take-up reel and a corresponding method are from the US 3,421,712 known. Furthermore, it is from the DE 199 42 310 C1 a take-up reel known comprising three received on a rotating rotary member and rotating about a rotating axis rods on which an empty label carrier tape is wound. The three rods are arranged on a common radius about the axis of rotation of the take-up reel. In order to take down a wound label carrier roll from the take-up reel, it is necessary to bend at least one of these three bars inward with its free end in the direction of the axis of rotation to reduce the friction of the label carrier tape to the bars so that the label carrier roll will move in the direction of the free Ends of the rods is manually herunterziehbar. The disadvantage of this is the effort that is made with one hand on the take-up reel itself, the role must be taken down with the other hand, which is ergonomically unfavorable.

Aus der US 2007/0278342 A1 ist eine weitere Ausführung einer Aufwickelhaspel bekannt, die konstruktiv aufwendig und nicht hygienisch, da schwer reinigbar, gestaltet ist. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, bei einem Etikettenspender die Aufwickelhaspel bezüglich der Bedienung zum Abnehmen einer Rolle eines aufgewickelten Etikettenträgerbands zu verbessern.From the US 2007/0278342 A1 is another embodiment of a take-up reel known structurally complex and not hygienic, as difficult to clean, designed. Object of the present invention is to improve the take-up reel with respect to the operation for removing a roll of a wound label carrier tape in a label dispenser.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Aufwickelhaspel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und durch ein Verfahren zum Betrieb bzw. zur Bedienung einer Aufwickelhaspel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a take-up reel having the features of claim 1 and by a method for operating or operating a take-up reel having the features of claim 13. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufwickelhaspel für einen Etikettenspender umfasst ein Drehelement mit wenigstens drei Stangen, wobei die Stangen parallel zu einer Drehachse des Drehelements ausgerichtet sind und die Stangen jeweils ein von dem Drehelement abgewandtes freies Ende aufweisen. Die Aufwickelhaspel zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass eine erste Stange beweglich und zumindest zwei Stangen ortsfest mit dem Drehelement verbunden sind und ein Betätigungselement an den freien Enden der ortsfest angeordneten Stangen schwenkbar angeordnet ist, wobei das Betätigungselement mit dem freien Ende der ersten Stange verbunden und dazu konfiguriert ist, bei Betätigung des Betätigungselements eine Auslenkung des freien Endes der ersten Stange in Richtung zur Drehachse zu bewirken. Durch eine solche Auslenkung dieser ersten Stange ist eine Verringerung des Durchmessers, auf dem das Etikettenträgerband aufgewickelt ist, erzeugbar und somit ist die Reibung des Etikettenträgerbands an den Stangen auf ein Minimum reduzierbar und ein leichtes Herunterziehen des Etikettenträgerbands entlang der Stangen ermöglicht.The take-up reel according to the invention for a label dispenser comprises a rotary element with at least three rods, wherein the rods are aligned parallel to a rotational axis of the rotary member and the rods each have a remote from the rotary member free end. The take-up reel is characterized in that a first rod movable and at least two rods stationary with the rotating element and an actuator is pivotally mounted at the free ends of the stationary rods, the actuator being connected to the free end of the first rod and configured to deflect the free end of the first rod toward the axis of rotation upon actuation of the actuator cause. By such a deflection of this first rod is a reduction in the diameter on which the label carrier tape is wound, generated and thus the friction of the label carrier tape to the rods is reduced to a minimum and allows easy pulling down of the label carrier tape along the rods.

Bevorzugt ist dabei die erste Stange mittels eines Schwenkgelenks mit dem Drehelement verbunden. Die durch das Gelenk definierte Schwenkachse kann etwa senkrecht verlaufen zur Drehachse des Drehelements.Preferably, the first rod is connected by means of a pivot joint with the rotary member. The pivot axis defined by the hinge can be approximately perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary member.

Die erste Stange ist vorzugsweise an ihrem freien Ende mittels eines Gelenkes mit dem Betätigungselement verbunden, um die erste Stange beim Schwenken des Betätigungselements von einer Aufwickelstellung in eine Wechselstellung zu bringen. In einer ersten Phase wird die erste Stange an ihrem freien Ende radial nach innen zur Drehachse hin gekippt bzw. um das zweite Gelenk am Drehelement geschwenkt. In einer optionalen zweiten Phase wird die bewegliche Stange in einer vor allem axialen Bewegung weg vom Drehelement zusammen mit einer überlagerten Schwenkbewegung des zweiten Gelenks bewegt, so dass die erste Stange schließlich in der Wechselstellung eine Ausrichtung etwa parallel zur Drehachse aufweist, aber sich in einer radial der Drehachse angenäherten Lage befindet. So liegt die Rolle des aufgewickelten Etikettenträgerbands lose auf der Aufwickelhaspel auf.The first rod is preferably connected at its free end by means of a joint with the actuating element in order to bring the first rod during pivoting of the actuating element from a winding position to a change position. In a first phase, the first rod is tilted at its free end radially inwardly toward the axis of rotation or pivoted about the second joint on the rotary member. In an optional second phase, the movable rod is moved in a mainly axial movement away from the rotary member together with a superimposed pivotal movement of the second joint, so that the first rod in the change position has an orientation approximately parallel to the axis of rotation, but in a radial The rotational axis is approximated position. Thus, the roll of wound label carrier tape loosely rests on the take-up reel.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung weisen das erste und/oder zweite Gelenk einen Gelenkhebel auf. Dieser Gelenkhebel kann an seinen beiden Enden jeweils eine Schwenkachse definieren, wobei diese beiden Schwenkachsen zueinander parallel sind. Der Gelenkhebel am ersten Gelenk definiert dabei eine erste Schwenkachse zwischen sich und dem Betätigungselement und eine zweiten Schwenkachse zwischen sich und der beweglichen Stange. Ein am zweiten Gelenk vorgesehener Gelenkhebel definiert analog eine erste Schwenkachse zwischen sich und der beweglichen Stange und eine zweite Schwenkachse zwischen sich und dem Drehelement. Wenn sowohl am ersten, als auch am zweiten Gelenk ein solcher Gelenkhebel vorgesehen ist, sind vorzugsweise alle vier Schwenkachsen zueinander parallel.In an advantageous embodiment, the first and / or second joint on a toggle lever. This articulated lever can define at its two ends in each case a pivot axis, wherein these two pivot axes are parallel to each other. The toggle lever on the first joint defines a first pivot axis between itself and the actuating element and a second pivot axis between itself and the movable rod. A joint lever provided on the second joint analogously defines a first pivot axis between itself and the movable rod and a second pivot axis between itself and the rotary member. If both on the first, and on the second Joint such a hinge lever is provided, preferably all four pivot axes are parallel to each other.

Von seiner Form her kann der Gelenkhebel die Gestalt eines Kettengliedes annehmen, wie es üblicherweise in einer Kette verwendet wird. Das Kettenglied umfasst zwei Seitenteile und zwei Bolzen, wobei das Kettenglied mittels eines der Bolzen an einem Ende der ersten Stange gelagert ist.In terms of its shape, the articulated lever can take the form of a chain link, as is commonly used in a chain. The chain link comprises two side parts and two bolts, wherein the chain link is mounted by means of one of the bolts at one end of the first rod.

Vorzugsweise weist das Betätigungselement einen Hebel auf, mittels dessen das Betätigungselement einfach bedienbar und des Weiteren schwenk- und kippbar ist.Preferably, the actuating element has a lever, by means of which the actuating element is easy to operate and further pivotable and tiltable.

Das Betätigungselement weist bevorzugt eine Abstützung auf, um in der Arbeitsstellung eine Sicherung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Schwenken des Betätigungselements zu erzeugen.The actuating element preferably has a support in order to produce a safeguard against unintentional pivoting of the actuating element in the working position.

Im Sinne der Erfindung ist mit "ortsfest" gemeint, dass die derart mit dem Drehelement verbundenen Stangen ihre Position relativ zum Drehelement nicht verändern. Dabei können die ortsfest mit dem Drehelement verbundenen Stangen entweder starr oder um ihre eigene Achse rotierbar mit dem Drehelement verbunden sein.For the purposes of the invention, "stationary" means that the rods thus connected to the rotary element do not change their position relative to the rotary element. In this case, the stationary connected to the rotary member rods can be either rigid or rotatable about its own axis connected to the rotary member.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform haben sämtliche Stangen in einer Aufwickelstellung der Aufwickelhaspel denselben radialen Abstand zur Drehachse des Drehelements. Betrachtet man die Stangen in einer Projektion parallel zu der Drehachse des Drehelements, befinden sich in der Aufwickelstellung folglich sämtliche Stangen auf einer gemeinsamen Kreisbahn um die Drehachse. Dies führt zu einer homogenen, annähernd kreisförmigen Bewegung des auf die Aufwickelhaspel aufgewickelten Etikettenträgerbands.In an advantageous embodiment, all rods in a winding position of the take-up reel have the same radial distance from the axis of rotation of the rotary member. If the rods are viewed in a projection parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary element, consequently, in the winding position, all the rods are located on a common circular path around the axis of rotation. This leads to a homogeneous, approximately circular movement of the wound on the take-up reel label carrier tape.

Besonders gleichförmig wird die Bewegung des Etikettenträgerbands, wenn sämtliche Stangen äquidistant auf der gemeinsamen Kreisbahn um die Drehachse des Drehelements angeordnet sind, wenn dies in Projektion parallel zur Drehachse des Drehelements betrachtet wird.Particularly uniform is the movement of the label carrier tape when all the rods are arranged equidistantly on the common circular path about the axis of rotation of the rotary member, when viewed in parallel to the rotation axis of the rotary member.

In einer Variante der Erfindung ist insgesamt eine gerade Anzahl von Stangen vorgesehen. Vorzugsweise kann dabei die Abstützung des Betätigungselements mit derjenigen ortsfest angeordneten Stange zusammenwirken, die auf der gemeinsamen Kreisbahn um 180° relativ zur beweglichen Stange versetzt angeordnet ist. Mit anderen Worten befindet sich diese ortsfest angeordnete Stange, mit der die Abstützung des Betätigungselements zusammenwirkt, bezogen auf die Drehachse des Drehelements achsensymmetrisch zur beweglichen Stange in deren Arbeits- oder Aufwickelposition.In a variant of the invention, an even number of rods is provided overall. Preferably, the support of the actuating element can cooperate with that stationarily arranged rod on the common circular path to 180 ° is arranged offset relative to the movable rod. In other words, there is this stationarily arranged rod, with which the support of the actuating element cooperates, with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotary member axially symmetrical to the movable rod in its working or winding position.

Günstig ist es für die Handhabung, wenn das Betätigungselement beim Herunternehmen der Etikettenträgerbandrolle keine Störkontur bildet. Erreicht werden kann dies, indem sich das Betätigungselement in der Wechselstellung vollständig innerhalb einer Kontur befindet, die sich durch Projektion parallel zur Drehachse des Drehelements ergibt und deren Ecken durch die bewegliche und die ortsfesten Stangen definiert sind. Steht das Betätigungselement in der Wechselstellung nicht über diese Kontur hinaus vor, stellt es keine Störkontur mehr da und erleichtert so das Herunternehmen des Etikettenträgerbands.It is beneficial for handling when the actuator does not form a disturbing contour when lowering the label carrier tape roll. This can be achieved by the actuator is in the change position completely within a contour that results by projection parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary member and whose corners are defined by the movable and the stationary rods. If the actuating element does not protrude beyond this contour in the change position, it no longer creates a disturbing contour and thus facilitates the removal of the label carrier tape.

Vorzugsweise umfasst die Aufwickelhaspel wenigstens sechs Stangen, um eine annähernd kreisrunde Aufwickelung des Etikettenträgerbands zu erzeugen.Preferably, the take-up reel comprises at least six rods to produce an approximately circular winding of the label carrier tape.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Bedienen einer Aufwickelhaspel in einer der vorstehend beschriebenen Varianten umfasst folgende Schritte:

  • Schwenken des freien Endes der beweglichen Stange um eine Schwenkachse eines Gelenks der beweglichen Stange nach innen hin zur Drehachse des Drehelements.
An inventive method for operating a take-up reel in one of the variants described above comprises the following steps:
  • (esp. Manual movement) of the actuating element about a pivot axis at the free ends of two stationary rods, on which the actuating element is rotatably mounted, from a working position to a change position,
  • Pivoting the free end of the movable rod about a pivot axis of a hinge of the movable rod inwardly toward the rotational axis of the rotary member.

Durch das Schwenken des freien Endes der beweglichen Stange, d.h. durch das Verkippen der beweglichen Stange hin zur Drehachse des Drehelements, verringert sich der mittlere Abstand der beweglichen Stange von der Drehachse und somit die von innen auf die aufgewickelte Etikettenträgerbandrolle ausgeübte Reibung. Auf diese Weise kann die Etikettenträgerbandrolle leichter von der Aufwickelhaspel abgenommen werden.By pivoting the free end of the movable rod, i. By tilting the movable rod toward the axis of rotation of the rotary member, the average distance of the movable rod from the axis of rotation and thus the friction exerted from the inside on the wound label carrier tape roll friction decreases. In this way, the label carrier tape roll can be easily removed from the take-up reel.

Noch weiter erleichtern lässt sich das Abnehmen der Etikettenträgerbandrolle, wenn sich an die erste Kippbewegung der beweglichen Stange eine zweite Kippbewegung anschließt, mit der auch das innere, dem Drehelement zugewandte Ende der beweglichen Stange näher an die Drehachse heranbewegt wird. Dies kann erreicht werden, indem zwischen der beweglichen Stange und dem Drehelement ein Gelenkhebel vorgesehen ist und in der zweiten Bewegungsphase ein Verkippen des Gelenkhebels um eine zwischen ihm und dem Drehelement vorgesehene Schwenkachse erfolgt. Dabei bewegt sich die bewegliche Stange insgesamt vom Drehelement fort und erreicht schließlich eine Stellung, in der sie insgesamt wieder zumindest annähernd parallel zur Drehachse ausgerichtet ist, sich jetzt jedoch näher an der Drehachse als in der Aufwickelstellung befindet. Vorzugsweise wird diese zweite Bewegungsphase durch fortgesetztes Schwenken des Betätigungselements in der gleichen Richtung wie in der ersten Phase bewirkt, insbesondere durch manuelles Verschwenken des Betätigungselements.It is even easier to remove the label carrier tape roll when a second tilting movement follows the first tilting movement of the movable rod, with which the inner, the rotary element facing the end of the movable rod is moved closer to the axis of rotation. This can be achieved by providing an articulated lever between the movable rod and the rotary element and, in the second movement phase, tilting of the articulated lever about a pivot axis provided between it and the rotary element. In the process, the movable rod as a whole moves away from the rotary element and finally reaches a position in which it is again aligned at least approximately parallel to the axis of rotation, but is now closer to the axis of rotation than in the winding-up position. Preferably, this second movement phase is effected by continued pivoting of the actuating element in the same direction as in the first phase, in particular by manual pivoting of the actuating element.

Die beschriebenen Schritte können von der Bedienperson mit einer durchgehend ablaufenden Bewegung des Betätigungselements durchgeführt werden, um anschließend mit zwei Händen die Etikettenträgerbandrolle auf eine ergonomisch günstige Weise von der Aufwickelhaspel herunternehmen zu können. So können auch größere Rollen entfernt werden oder flexible Trägerbänder, die beim Aufwickeln eine Zugspannung aufweisen.The described steps can be carried out by the operator with a continuous running movement of the actuating element, in order then to be able to remove the label carrier tape roll from the take-up reel in an ergonomically favorable manner with two hands. Thus, larger rolls can be removed or flexible carrier tapes, which have a tensile stress during winding.

Dabei stützt sich bevorzugt die Abstützung des Betätigungselements in der Arbeitsstellung an einer mit der Abstützung in Kontakt stehenden Stange in einer Totpunktposition des Betätigungselements und des Kettenglieds ab.In this case, preferably supports the support of the actuating element in the working position on a standing in contact with the support rod in a dead center position of the actuating element and the chain link.

Die Abstützung und der Hebel des Betätigungselements sind jeweils vorzugsweise an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Betätigungselements vorgesehen.The support and the lever of the actuating element are each preferably provided on two opposite sides of the actuating element.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Etikettenspender 1 mit einer Abwickeleinrichtung 2 zum Abwickeln eines Etikettenträgerbands 5 mit Etiketten 4 und einer Spendeeinheit 3 zum Spenden einzelner Etiketten 4 vom Etikettenträgerband 5. Zum Aufwickeln des Etikettenträgerbands 5 ist eine Aufwickeleinrichtung 6 vorgesehen. Die Aufwickeleinrichtung 6 umfasst eine Aufwickelhaspel 7, auf die das Etikettenträgerband 5 aufgewickelt wird. Die Aufwickelhaspel 7 ist mittels eines Motors 8, vorzugsweise eines Schrittmotors oder Servomotors, angetrieben. Zwei Pfeile zeigen die Bewegungsrichtung des Etikettenträgerbands 5. Fig. 1 shows a label dispenser 1 with an unwinding device 2 for unwinding a label carrier tape 5 with labels 4 and a dispensing unit 3 for dispensing individual labels 4 from the label carrier tape 5. For winding the label carrier tape 5, a take-up device 6 is provided. The take-up device 6 comprises a take-up reel 7, on which the label carrier tape 5 is wound up. The take-up reel 7 is driven by means of a motor 8, preferably a stepping motor or servomotor. Two arrows show the direction of movement of the label carrier tape 5.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Aufwickelhaspel 7, die ein Drehelement 9 umfasst. An dem Drehelement 9 sind eine erste Stange 10 beweglich und fünf Stangen 11 ortsfest angebracht. Die Stangen 10, 11 stehen orthogonal auf dem Drehelement 9 und haben in Projektion parallel zu einer Drehachse D des Drehelements 9 in ihrer Aufwickelstellung jeweils denselben radialen Abstand r zur Drehachse D (siehe Figur 6), sind also in dieser Aufwickelstellung auf einer gemeinsamen Kreisbahn K um eine gemeinsame Drehachse D der Aufwickelhaspel 7 äquidistant angeordnet. Die Stangen 10, 11 weisen jeweils ein freies Ende E auf, das von dem Drehelement 9 abgewandt ist oder fort weist. Fig. 2 shows the take-up reel 7, which comprises a rotary element 9. On the rotary member 9, a first rod 10 are movably mounted and five rods 11 fixed. The rods 10, 11 are orthogonal on the rotary member 9 and have in projection parallel to a rotation axis D of the rotary member 9 in its winding position each have the same radial distance r to the rotation axis D (see FIG. 6 ), Thus, in this winding position on a common circular path K about a common axis of rotation D of the take-up reel 7 are arranged equidistantly. The rods 10, 11 each have a free end E, which faces away from the rotary element 9 or points away.

Die Aufwickelhaspel 7 weist ein Betätigungselement 12 auf, wobei das Betätigungselement 12 an zwei ortsfesten Stangen 11 drehbar um eine Schwenkachse S gelagert ist. Das Betätigungselement 12 weist einen Hebel 12a und eine Abstützung 12b auf. Die Abstützung 12b wirkt in einer Arbeitsstellung, die einer Aufwickelstellung entspricht, mit einer weiteren ortsfesten Stange 11 zusammen, die bezogen auf die Drehachse D achsensymmetrisch zur beweglichen Stange 10 angeordnet ist, wodurch eine Totpunktstellung und/oder eine Klemmkraft erzeugbar ist, um ein unbeabsichtigtes Schwenken des Betätigungselements 12 aus der Arbeitsstellung heraus zu verhindern.The take-up reel 7 has an actuating element 12, wherein the actuating element 12 is rotatably mounted on two stationary rods 11 about a pivot axis S. The actuator 12 has a lever 12a and a support 12b. The support 12b cooperates in a working position, which corresponds to a winding position, with a further stationary rod 11 which is arranged axially symmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation D to the movable rod 10, whereby a dead center position and / or a clamping force can be generated to unintentional pivoting to prevent the actuating member 12 from the working position out.

Die erste bewegliche Stange 10 ist mittels eines zweiten Gelenks 13b mit einem Ende mit dem Drehelement 9 gelenkig verbunden und so wenigstens um eine Schwenkachse G des zweiten Gelenks 13b schwenkbar. Tatsächlich weist das zweite Gelenk 13b in dieser Ausführungsform einen Gelenkhebel 13d auf, der die Form eines Kettenglieds aus einer üblichen Kette aufweist und an seinen beiden Enden jeweils eine Schwenkachse G, G' definiert. Die bewegliche Stange 10 ist um die erste Schwenkachse G relativ zum Gelenkhebel 13d schwenkbar. Der Gelenkhebel 13d selbst ist um die zweite Schwenkachse G schwenkbar mit dem Drehelement 9 verbunden.The first movable rod 10 is pivotally connected at one end to the rotary member 9 by means of a second joint 13b and thus at least pivotable about a pivot axis G of the second hinge 13b. In fact, in this embodiment, the second joint 13b has an articulated lever 13d, which has the shape of a chain link made of a conventional chain and defines at each of its two ends a pivot axis G, G '. The movable rod 10 is pivotable about the first pivot axis G relative to the articulated lever 13d. The articulated lever 13d itself is pivotally connected to the rotary member 9 about the second pivot axis G.

Das entgegengesetzte freie Ende E der ersten Stange 10 ist mittels eines in der Ansicht der Fig. 2 nicht sichtbaren ersten Gelenks 13a mit dem Hebel 12a des Betätigungselements 12 derart gelenkig verbunden, dass eine Auslenkung des freien Endes E der ersten Stange 10 in Richtung der Drehachse D bewirkt werden kann. Auch das erste Gelenk 13a weist einen Gelenkhebel 13c auf, der analog zum Gelenkhebel 13d ebenfalls im Wesentlichen die Form eines üblichen Kettenglieds aufweist und an seinen beiden Enden zwei Schwenkachsen definiert. Über die erste Schwenkachse ist der Gelenkhebel 13c schwenkbar mit der ersten Stange 10 verbunden, über die zweite Schwenkachse ebenfalls schwenkbar mit dem Hebel 12a des Betätigungselements 12. Alle vier Schwenkachsen der beiden Gelenkhebel 13c, 13d sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel parallel zueinander.The opposite free end E of the first rod 10 is by means of a in the view of Fig. 2 invisible first joint 13a connected to the lever 12a of the actuating element 12 such that a deflection of the free end E of the first rod 10 in the direction of the axis of rotation D can be effected. Also, the first joint 13a has an articulated lever 13c, which also has the shape of a conventional chain link analogously to the articulated lever 13d and defines two pivot axes at its two ends. About the first pivot axis of the articulated lever 13c is pivotally connected to the first rod 10, via the second pivot axis also pivotally connected to the lever 12a of the actuating element 12. All four pivot axes of the two articulated levers 13c, 13d are parallel to each other in this embodiment.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Aufwickelhaspel 7 in Aufwickelrichtung. Die Aufwickelhaspel 7 ist in ihrer Aufwickelstellung dargestellt. Dabei befinden sich alle Stangen 10, 11 auf der Kreisbahn K um die Drehachse D und auch die erste Stange 10 ist parallel zu den weiteren ortsfesten Stangen 11 und der Drehachse D ausgerichtet. Der Hebel 12a des Betätigungselements 12 ist mit dem ersten Gelenk 13a verbunden. Die Abstützung 12b ist in Kontakt mit der in dieser Ansicht untersten ortsfesten Stange 11. Fig. 3 shows the take-up reel 7 in the winding direction. The take-up reel 7 is shown in its winding position. In this case, all the rods 10, 11 on the circular path K about the axis of rotation D and the first rod 10 is parallel to the other stationary rods 11 and the rotation axis D aligned. The lever 12a of the actuator 12 is connected to the first joint 13a. The support 12b is in contact with the lowest in this view stationary rod 11th

Im Folgenden wird anhand der Figuren 3 bis 5 ein Verfahren zum Bedienen der Aufwickelhaspel 7 beschrieben. In der Fig. 3 ist die Aufwickelhaspel 7 in der Arbeitsstellung und das Etikettenträgerband 5 wird durch Drehung der Aufwickelhaspel 7 auf diese aufgewickelt. Soll das Etikettenträgerband 5 von der Aufwickelhaspel 7 heruntergenommen werden, so schwenkt eine Bedienperson, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, das Betätigungselement 12 manuell an dem Hebel 12a nach rechts bzw. weg vom Etikettenträgerband 5 um die Schwenkachse S des Betätigungselements 12. Die Schwenkachse S wird durch die drehbaren Lagerungen in den zwei ortsfesten Stangen 11, mit denen das Betätigungselement 12 verbunden ist, definiert. Dabei entfernt sich die Abstützung 12b des Betätigungselements 12 von der Stange 11, mit der die Abstützung 12b in der Arbeitsstellung in Kontakt war. Gleichzeitig bewirkt die Bewegung des mit dem Hebel 12a verbundenen Gelenkhebels 13c des ersten Gelenks 13a, dass die bewegliche Stange 10 um die Schwenkachse G zwischen ihr und dem Gelenkhebel 13d am zweiten Gelenk 13b verkippt und das freie Ende E der ersten Stange 10 sich in Richtung der Drehachse D neigt. Somit entfernt sich die erste Stange 10 wenigstens teilweise von dem Inneren des aufgewickelten Etikettenträgerbands 5, so dass sich die Spannung des Etikettenträgerbands 5 an der ersten Stange 10 reduziert und sich die Reibung durch Anliegen des Etikettenträgerbands 5 an der ersten Stange 10 vermindert.The following is based on the FIGS. 3 to 5 a method for operating the take-up reel 7 is described. In the Fig. 3 is the take-up reel 7 in the working position and the label carrier tape 5 is wound by rotation of the take-up reel 7 on this. If the label carrier tape 5 is to be taken down by the take-up reel 7, an operator pivots, as in FIG Fig. 4 shown, the actuator 12 manually to the lever 12a to the right or away from the label carrier tape 5 about the pivot axis S of the actuating element 12. The pivot axis S is rotated by the Bearings in the two stationary rods 11, with which the actuator 12 is connected defined. In this case, the support 12b of the actuating element 12 moves away from the rod 11 with which the support 12b was in contact in the working position. At the same time, the movement of the articulated lever 13c of the first articulation 13a connected to the lever 12a causes the movable rod 10 to tilt about the pivot axis G between it and the articulated lever 13d on the second articulation 13b and the free end E of the first rod 10 to tilt in the direction of Rotary axis D tends. Thus, the first rod 10 at least partially withdraws from the interior of the wound label carrier tape 5 so that the tension of the label carrier tape 5 on the first rod 10 is reduced and the friction is reduced by abutment of the label carrier tape 5 on the first rod 10.

Im Folgenden, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt, schwenkt die Bedienperson das Betätigungselement 12 weiter in derselben Richtung (siehe Pfeilrichtung am Betätigungselement 12). Während dieser weiteren Bewegung der ersten Stange 10 sorgt das zweite Gelenk 13b an dem Drehelement 9 dafür, dass sich auch das daran angebrachte Ende der ersten Stange 10 der Drehachse D radial annähert (siehe Pfeil). Erreicht wird dies, in dem während dieser zweiten Bewegungsphase der Gelenkhebel 13d des zweiten Gelenks 13b um die Schwenkachse G' zwischen sich und dem Drehelement 9 verschwenkt. Dies bewirkt eine Bewegung, die das innere, dem Drehelement 9 zugewandte Ende der beweglichen Stange 10 an die Drehachse D annähert und dieses innere Ende gleichzeitig vom Drehelement 9 fortbewegt. Diese zweite Bewegungsphase der beweglichen Stange 10 ist vorteilhaft, aber optional. Denkbar wäre auch eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der das zweite Gelenk 13b keinen Gelenkhebel aufweist, sondern lediglich eine Schwenkachse G direkt zwischen der beweglichen Stange 10 und dem Drehelement 9 aufweist.Below, as in Fig. 5 shown, the operator pivots the actuator 12 further in the same direction (see arrow direction on the actuator 12). During this further movement of the first rod 10, the second joint 13b on the rotary element 9 ensures that the end of the first rod 10 attached to it also approaches the axis of rotation D radially (see arrow). This is achieved in that, during this second movement phase, the articulated lever 13d of the second articulation 13b pivots about the pivot axis G 'between itself and the rotary element 9. This causes a movement which approximates the inner, the rotary member 9 facing the end of the movable rod 10 to the rotation axis D and this inner end simultaneously moved by the rotary member 9. This second phase of movement of the movable rod 10 is advantageous, but optional. Also conceivable would be an embodiment of the invention in which the second joint 13b has no toggle lever, but only a pivot axis G directly between the movable rod 10 and the rotary member 9 has.

Fig. 6 zeigt, wie am Ende dieser Bewegung sich die erste Stange 10 weitestgehend parallel zu den weiteren Stangen 11, aber sich innerhalb der Kreisbahn K befindet und damit näher an der Drehachse D als die ortsfesten Stangen 11. In dieser Wechselstellung kann die Bedienperson das aufgewickelte Trägerband 5 ohne großen Kraftaufwand axial von der Aufwickelhaspel 7 herunterziehen. Das Betätigungselement 12 ist so gestaltet, dass sich die Außenabmessungen bzw. die Außenkontur des Betätigungselements 12 in der Wechselstellung innerhalb der Außenkontur bzw. der Außenseite aller Stangen 10, 11 befindet, um beim Herunterziehen des Trägerbands 5 keine Störkontur zu erzeugen. Fig. 6 shows how at the end of this movement, the first rod 10 is largely parallel to the other rods 11, but within the circular path K and thus closer to the axis of rotation D than the stationary rods 11. In this change position, the operator can the wound carrier tape. 5 Pull down axially from the take-up reel 7 without much effort. The actuating element 12 is designed so that the outer dimensions or the outer contour of the actuating element 12 in the change position within the outer contour or the outside of all rods 10, 11 is to produce when pulling down the carrier tape 5 no interference contour.

Insgesamt kann es bei der Erfindung genügen, wenn nur eine einzige Stange 10 relativ zum Drehelement 9 beweglich, alle anderen Stangen hingegen ortsfest relativ zum Drehelement 9 mit diesem verbunden sind.Overall, it may be sufficient in the invention, if only a single rod 10 relative to the rotary member 9 movable, all other rods, however, are stationary relative to the rotary member 9 connected thereto.
