DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, displaying various characters and symbols for identifying electric wires and the like, and applying characters and symbols to various marking materials such as identification tubes to be put on the electric wires. In a marking machine for marking with a marker such as a type assembly, a thermal head, etc., a marking object receiving apparatus used for sequentially attaching and separating a marking object formed from a marking material to an adhesive tape for shipping or storage. It is about improvement.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A marking machine of this type is provided with a marker, such as a heated type assembly, which descends toward a long material to be marked and applies a marking to the material to be marked, and a predetermined material after marking. And a cutter for forming a marking object by separating a marked material portion from a subsequent marking material portion.

[0003] If the objects to be marked obtained in this way are stored separately in containers, the operator must take out the objects one by one from the container when using the objects to be marked. The process of processing the object to be marked cannot be automated, and the quantity control is troublesome and the handling becomes inconvenient. In order to avoid this, there has been proposed a marking object attaching device or a marking object receiving device for sequentially attaching the marking objects to various types of attaching sheets (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
No. 288751, JP-A-6-191709,
JP-A-6-199464).

[0004] Among these, a marking object sticking or receiving apparatus for sticking a marking object on a tape-like sticking sheet (sticking tape) cuts the marking object so as to separate it from a marking material portion and simultaneously intermittently marks the marking area. It is to be pasted on the pasting tape which is sent periodically.

[0005] In this kind of device for attaching or receiving a marking object, as described in JP-A-6-199464, a case where an attaching tape is wound by a winding means, or the above-mentioned known technique is not available. However, when the tape to which the object to be marked is attached is taken up by the take-up means, if the object to be marked has a property such that it is deformed by pressing like a tube, the object to be marked is wound. In the take-up state, it is crushed or deformed by pressing from the outer winding layer, or similarly crushed or deformed by a take-up member (e.g., take-up roller) of the take-up means, and In this case, there is a disadvantage that impurities adhere to the object to be marked due to contact with another winding layer or member.

Further, as in the apparatus described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-199464, the adhesive tape feeding means and the adhesive tape winding means cooperate to feed the adhesive tape to the position where the object to be marked is affixed. When the feeding, feeding, and winding of the adhesive tape are performed while performing, the adhesive tape winding means requires a large occupied space, and the adhesive tape feeding means and the adhesive tape winding means do not interfere with each other. The inability to place them in close proximity makes the device bulky and unsuitable for mounting on small manual marking machines. Especially,
When not in use, the small manual marking machine has a cover that is detachably attached to the machine base so as to cover the entire marking machine body attached to the machine base, but a device for attaching or receiving an object to be marked. However, when the size is large, this device protrudes from the machine base and cannot close the cover, so that there is a drawback that it cannot be applied to a small manual marking machine.

[0007] In addition, since the marking object receiving apparatus of the prior art is integrally attached to and supported by a machine of the marking machine, for example, an existing marking machine which does not include this kind of marking object receiving apparatus. Can not be applied to

[0008]

6 is an engagement roller 10 of the marking object attaching means 48.
2, the angle at which the engagement roller 126 rotates the segment gear 116 increases, and the feeding interval of the adhesive tape 16 can be set within a large range. , 126 may be engaged with the movable frame 38 at the same time,
May of course be engaged first.

In this way, the objects to be marked 12A are sequentially attached on the attaching tape 16 in sequence, and the attaching tape 16 to which the objects to be marked 12A are attached is attached.
Can be attached without being wound up.
Is sent from the pasting area AA to the front,
It is guided outside the machine in a free state via the adhesive tape guiding means 50.

The operator stores the adhesive tape 16 guided outside the machine in a storage box at an appropriate length, folds and stores the tape, or transports the tape to a process of attaching an object to be marked. In this case, it should be noted that since the attaching tape feeding means 52 is located on the upstream side of the attaching area AA, the marking target 12A attached on the attaching tape 16 is crushed by the attaching tape feeding means 52. That is, the components of the affixing tape feeding means 52 do not come into contact with the object to be marked 12A, and the object to be marked 12A is not damaged and impurities are not attached.

The adhesive tape 16 to which the marking object 12A is affixed descends on the adhesive tape guiding member 104 gradually descending stepwise or wavy of the adhesive tape guiding means 50. It is understood that the resistance is smaller than that of the shooter type plate-shaped guide member, and that the adhesive tape 16 can be smoothly sent out from the area where the adhesive tape 16 is applied.

As described above, the sticking assisting means 82 used in the above embodiment is a
At the time of attaching A, the sticking assisting member 88 backs the object to be marked 12A, and the object to be marked 12A is attached so that the marking surface of the object to be marked 12A always faces upward. Even if it is provided, it is guided straight by the sticking assisting member 88 to assist the sticking of the marking object 12A on the sticking tape 16 in the correct posture at all times.

The sticking tape 16 may be a single-sided tape having an adhesive or adhesive property on only one side to which the marking object 16 is to be attached, or may be a double-sided tape having an adhesive or adhesive property on both sides. In this case, usually, a release paper is provided on the surface opposite to the surface on which the object to be marked is attached, and the adhesive tape 16 on which the release object is peeled off and the object to be marked is attached as necessary, It can be stuck on a backing paper or the like at appropriate lengths on a surface or an adhesive surface and stored, or can be arranged at a work site where the object to be marked 12A is used and made to stand by.

The adhesive tape feeding means comprises a gear-shaped feed drive wheel engaged with the adhesive tape, and when the tape is fed into the application area by the gear-shaped feed drive wheel, the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape has an adhesive property. Can be fed into the sticking area with the sticking face up, and it is not necessary to change the direction of the sticking tape between the sticking tape feeding means and the sticking area.

Further, when the adhesive tape guiding means is composed of an adhesive tape guiding member that gradually descends in a step-like or wave-like manner, the resistance is smaller than that of a shooter-type plate-like guiding member that simply slopes downward. The tape can be smoothly fed from the marking area of the tape.

When the feeding pad of the adhesive tape feeding means is arranged on the side opposite to the adhesive tape feeding means and the adhesive tape is fed over the frame, the feeding drive wheel of the adhesive tape feeding means is moved. The dispensing pad can be arranged at a position where the dispensing pad is not obstructed by the raising and lowering of the activated marker, so that the attaching tape dispensing means can be easily laid out, and the front and rear direction between the dispensing pad and the attaching tape feeding means Since the interval (in the running direction of the adhesive tape) can be reduced, the entire apparatus can be made compact.

Further, if the receiving height of the adhesive tape receiving member can be adjusted, when the material to be marked has various outer diameters like a tube, it can correspond to these various outer diameters. To receive the object to be marked.
