Description

本発明はラベル貼付け装置におけるラベルガイド機構およびその幅ガイド部材にかかるもので、とくに帯状の台紙に複数枚のラベル片を仮着したラベル連続体を移送するとともに、ラベル連続体の幅に応じてそのガイド機構ないしその幅ガイド部材を取り替え可能なラベル貼付け装置におけるラベルガイド機構およびその幅ガイド部材に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a label guide mechanism and its width guide member in a label sticking apparatus, and in particular, according to the width of the label continuum while transferring a label continuum in which a plurality of label pieces are temporarily attached to a belt-like mount. The present invention relates to a label guide mechanism and a width guide member thereof in a label attaching device capable of replacing the guide mechanism or the width guide member.

従来のラベル貼付け装置は、その装置本体ハウジング内においてラベル連続体をその供給部から移送路に繰り出すとともに所定ピッチで移送し、必要ならばラベル片に価格その他の所定情報を印字（スタンプ）し、台紙からラベル片を剥離して、所定の物品などに貼り付け可能とするものである。
上記ラベル連続体の移送およびラベル片の剥離にあたっては通常、回転可能な移送輪にラベル連続体ないし台紙を係合させ、操作レバーの操作によって移送輪をラベル片のピッチで回転および停止させることにより、ラベル連続体を下流方向に順次移送し、転向ピンなどにおいて台紙のみを後方に転向させ、前方に進んだラベル片を台紙から剥離するものである。 The conventional label sticking device feeds the label continuous body from the supply unit to the transfer path in the device main body housing and transfers it at a predetermined pitch, and if necessary, prints (stamps) the price and other predetermined information on the label piece. The label piece is peeled off from the mount and can be attached to a predetermined article or the like.
When transferring the label continuum and peeling the label piece, the label continuum or mount is usually engaged with a rotatable transfer wheel, and the transfer wheel is rotated and stopped at the label piece pitch by operating the operation lever. The label continuum is sequentially transferred in the downstream direction, and only the mount is turned rearward by a turning pin or the like, and the label piece that has advanced forward is peeled off from the mount.

しかして、ラベル連続体は、その使用目的などに応じてそれぞれ幅が異なっており、従来のラベル貼付け装置には、それぞれのラベル連続体の幅に応じて幅規制機構ないしガイド機構を設けることにより、ラベル連続体の蛇行を防止して印字位置ずれなどを回避可能としているが、単一の幅のラベル連続体に対応した機構であるために、幅が異なるラベル連続体を装填して使用する場合には、それぞれの幅に応じた幅規制機構ないしガイド機構を備えたラベル貼付け装置として製造する必要があり、コストの上昇を招くというという問題がある。 Thus, the width of each label continuous body varies depending on the purpose of use, and the conventional label sticking apparatus is provided with a width regulating mechanism or guide mechanism according to the width of each label continuous body. , Which prevents meandering of the label continuum and avoids misalignment of the print position, etc., but because it is a mechanism corresponding to a single width label continuum, it is used by loading a label continuum with a different width. In this case, it is necessary to manufacture as a label sticking device provided with a width regulating mechanism or a guide mechanism corresponding to each width, and there is a problem that the cost increases.

そこで、ラベル連続体の幅に応じてラベル連続体を規制する幅規制部材（幅ガイド部材）をラベル貼付け装置に着脱するようにしているものがあるが、ラベル貼付け装置の装置本体ハウジングの幅が一定であるために、ラベル連続体の幅や幅規制部材の構成によっては、とくに幅が比較的大きなラベル連続体を装填する場合などには、幅規制部材自体の一部に厚さが不十分となる場合があり、その機械的強度を確保することができないという問題がある。 Therefore, there is one in which a width regulating member (width guide member) that regulates the label continuous body according to the width of the label continuous body is attached to and detached from the label sticking device. Because of the constant width, depending on the width of the label continuum and the configuration of the width regulating member, the thickness of the width regulating member itself is insufficient, particularly when a relatively large label continuum is loaded. There is a problem that the mechanical strength cannot be ensured.

さらに、ラベル連続体として、特殊な形状、たとえばその両端縁部が凸凹形状をしているラベル連続体の場合には、その幅の大きな部分を幅規制する必要があるために、凸凹形状ではない一直線状の両端縁部を有する一般的なラベル連続体に比較してラベル連続体の移送方向に沿って所定の長さ以上の幅規制が必要である。しかしながら、上記幅規制部材（幅ガイド部材）がラベル連続体の移送方向に長い場合、とくに厚さが薄い部分を有する構成の場合には、機械的強度がさらに低下しやすく、全体の曲がりが発生しやすいという問題がある。 Furthermore, in the case of a label continuum having a special shape, for example, a label continuum having both concavo-convex shapes at both end edges, it is not necessary to regulate the width of a large portion of the continuum. Compared to a general label continuum having both ends of a straight line, it is necessary to regulate the width more than a predetermined length along the transport direction of the label continuum. However, when the width regulating member (width guide member) is long in the transport direction of the label continuum, particularly in the case of a structure having a thin portion, the mechanical strength is likely to further decrease, and the entire bending occurs. There is a problem that it is easy to do.

幅ガイド部材２９は、とくに図４に示すように、断面Ｈ字形状であり、ラベル連続体Ｃの移送方向に所定の長さにわたって延びるもので、プラテン２０の下面（下方部）においてその幅方向に沿って横断的に延びる基板部３０と、基板部３０の両端部からプラテン２０の上面側（表面側）に延びる左右一対の幅規制部３１と、基板部３０の両端部から幅規制部３１とは反対側（下方部側）に延びる左右一対のつまみ部３２と、を有する。 As shown in FIG. 4, the width guide member 29 has an H-shaped cross section and extends over a predetermined length in the transport direction of the label continuum C. The width guide member 29 has a width direction on the lower surface (lower part) of the platen 20. , A pair of left and right width restricting portions 31 extending from both ends of the substrate portion 30 to the upper surface side (front side) of the platen 20, and a width restricting portion 31 from both ends of the substrate portion 30. And a pair of left and right knob portions 32 extending on the opposite side (lower portion side).

左右一対の幅規制部３１は、それぞれの内方壁面３１Ａの間において、対応する幅を有するラベル連続体Ｃのその幅を規制してラベル連続体Ｃを適正にガイドする。すなわち、左右一対の内方壁面３１Ａの間の間隔Ｗ（図４）が異なる幅ガイド部材２９を、ラベル連続体Ｃの異なる幅に応じて複数個準備しておくものとする。
さらに、プラテン２０の左右側部とガイドブラケット１９との間には、幅規制部３１を挿入して係合固定するための着脱窓３３を貫通形成してある。左右一対の幅規制部３１からつまみ部３２にかけて形成したそれぞれの外方壁面３１Ｂが、着脱窓３３のガイドブラケット１９側のそれぞれの外方壁面３３Ａに沿って係合する（図５）。
さらに幅規制部３１は、プラテン２０の両側のガイドブラケット１９に形成したプラテン側係合部１９Ａに係脱可能なガイド側係合部３１Ｃを有する。
また、とくに図５に示すように、着脱窓３３においては、ここに幅ガイド部材２９の幅規制部３１が挿入係合されても、内方壁面３１Ａとプラテン２０の外方壁面２０Ａとの間には所定の空間部（隙間）が残るようにしてあり、幅規制部３１の厚さ（ラベル連続体Ｃの幅方向の厚さ）が異なる複数パターンの幅ガイド部材２９を受け入れ可能としているとともに、着脱窓３３への幅ガイド部材２９の着脱を容易としている。
なお、ガイド側係合部３１Ｃの内方側には、ラベル連続体Ｃが装填時にプラテン２０に向かってガイドされやすいように、かつ幅規制部３１が着脱窓３３に挿入されやすいようにテーパー面３１Ｄを形成してある。 The pair of left and right width regulating portions 31 properly guide the label continuous body C by regulating the width of the label continuous body C having a corresponding width between the inner wall surfaces 31A. That is, a plurality of width guide members 29 having different intervals W (FIG. 4) between the pair of left and right inner wall surfaces 31A are prepared according to different widths of the label continuum C.
Furthermore, a detachable window 33 is formed between the left and right side portions of the platen 20 and the guide bracket 19 so as to insert and fix the width restricting portion 31 therethrough. Each outer wall surface 31B formed from the pair of left and right width restricting portions 31 to the knob portion 32 engages along each outer wall surface 33A on the guide bracket 19 side of the detachable window 33 (FIG. 5).
Further, the width restricting portion 31 has a guide side engaging portion 31 C that can be engaged with and disengaged from the platen side engaging portion 19 A formed on the guide bracket 19 on both sides of the platen 20.
In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, in the removable window 33, even if the width restricting portion 31 of the width guide member 29 is inserted and engaged here, the space between the inner wall surface 31 A and the outer wall surface 20 A of the platen 20. A predetermined space portion (gap) is left in the space, and a plurality of patterns of width guide members 29 having different thicknesses (thicknesses in the width direction of the label continuous body C) of the width regulating portions 31 can be received. The attachment / detachment of the width guide member 29 to the attachment / detachment window 33 is facilitated.
A tapered surface is provided on the inner side of the guide side engaging portion 31C so that the label continuous body C can be easily guided toward the platen 20 during loading, and the width restricting portion 31 can be easily inserted into the removable window 33. 31D is formed.

とくに図７に示すように、基板部３０の裏面側には、幅ガイド部材２９から下流側の移送輪５への台紙Ｓの移送方向を示す矢印３０Ａを設けている。また図６および図７に示すように、幅規制部３１の外方壁面３１Ｂ側には、幅規制部３１からつまみ部３２にかけて補強用リブ３４を突出形成してある。
さらに、左右一対のつまみ部３２は、プラテン２０の下面に沿ってつまみ部３２とは直角方向に平面的に延びる所定の幅および長さを有する折返し部３５を一体に形成してあるとともに、台紙Ｓの移送方向に沿ってその上流側に延びる一対の上流側補助延長部３６（補助延長部）、および下流側に延びる一対の下流側補助延長部３７（補助延長部）をそれぞれ有する。この下流側補助延長部３７を上流側補助延長部３６より長く形成することによって、装置本体ハウジング２の内方側で下流側に位置している移送輪５へのラベル連続体Ｃ(台紙Ｓ)の案内作用の安定化を図っている。 In particular, as shown in FIG. 7, an arrow 30 A indicating the transfer direction of the mount S from the width guide member 29 to the downstream transfer wheel 5 is provided on the back surface side of the substrate unit 30. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a reinforcing rib 34 protrudes from the width restricting portion 31 to the knob portion 32 on the outer wall surface 31 B side of the width restricting portion 31.
Further, the pair of left and right knob portions 32 are integrally formed with a folded portion 35 having a predetermined width and length extending in a plane perpendicular to the knob portion 32 along the lower surface of the platen 20, and a mount. A pair of upstream auxiliary extensions 36 (auxiliary extensions) extending upstream of the S transfer direction and a pair of downstream auxiliary extensions 37 (auxiliary extensions) extending downstream are provided. By forming the downstream side auxiliary extension portion 37 longer than the upstream side auxiliary extension portion 36, the label continuum C (mounting sheet S) to the transfer wheel 5 positioned on the downstream side on the inner side of the apparatus main body housing 2 is provided. The guide action is stabilized.

折返し部３５は、つまみ部３２の基板部３０との間の接合部３２Ａとは異なる部位にこれを形成しているもので、つまみ部３２の上流側補助延長部３６および下流側補助延長部３７にかけて、互いに一体平面状の上流外方突出折返し部３５Ａ（外方突出折返し部）および上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂ（内方突出折返し部）、ならびに互いに一体平面状の下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃ（内方突出折返し部）および下流外方突出折返し部３５Ｄ（外方突出折返し部）の複数枚を形成するとともに、つまみ部３２の長さ方向において上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂおよび下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃの間に非形成部３５Ｅを残してこれらを形成している。
とくに図７に示すように、上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂおよび下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃは、つまみ部３２の端縁部からプラテン２０側に延びている。また、上流外方突出折返し部３５Ａおよび下流外方突出折返し部３５Ｄは、つまみ部３２の端縁部からプラテン２０の外方側に延びている
上流側補助延長部３６は、その先端部（ラベル連続体Ｃの移送方向上流側）に向かってこれをテーパー状に形成しているとともに、下流側補助延長部３７には補強用リブ３８を突出形成している。 The folded portion 35 is formed in a portion different from the joint portion 32 A between the knob portion 32 and the substrate portion 30, and the upstream side auxiliary extension portion 36 and the downstream side auxiliary extension portion 37 of the knob portion 32. The upstream outward projecting folded part 35A (outward projecting folded part) and the upstream inward projecting folded part 35B (inward projecting folded part) that are integral with each other, and the downstream inward projecting folded part 35C that are integrally planar with each other. (Inward projecting folded part) and downstream outer projecting folded part 35D (outward projecting folded part) are formed, and the upstream inward projecting folded part 35B and the downstream inward projecting are formed in the length direction of the knob 32. These are formed by leaving the non-forming portion 35E between the folded portions 35C.
In particular, as shown in FIG. 7, the upstream inwardly protruding folded portion 35 B and the downstream inwardly protruding folded portion 35 C extend from the edge portion of the knob portion 32 to the platen 20 side. Further, the upstream outward projecting folded portion 35A and the downstream outward projecting folded portion 35D extend from the end edge of the knob portion 32 to the outer side of the platen 20, and the upstream auxiliary extension portion 36 has its tip (label) This is formed in a tapered shape toward the upstream side of the continuous body C in the transfer direction, and a reinforcing rib 38 is formed on the downstream side auxiliary extension portion 37 so as to protrude.

なお、図８は、幅ガイド部材２９をプラテンユニット１７（プラテン２０）に組み込んだ状態の、図６と同様の幅ガイド部材２９の正立状態における斜視図、図９は、幅ガイド部材２９をプラテンユニット１７（プラテン２０）に組み込んだ状態の、図７と同様の幅ガイド部材２９の倒立状態における斜視図である。
図８および図９に示すように、プラテン２０の上面側には幅ガイド部材２９の幅規制部３１の内方壁面３１Ａが臨むとともに、プラテン２０の下面側には幅ガイド部材２９の基板部３０ならびにつまみ部３２およびその折返し部３５（上流外方突出折返し部３５Ａ、上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂ、下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃ、下流外方突出折返し部３５Ｄ）が臨んでいる。 8 is a perspective view of the same width guide member 29 as that of FIG. 6 in a state in which the width guide member 29 is incorporated in the platen unit 17 (platen 20), and FIG. It is a perspective view in the inverted state of the width guide member 29 similar to FIG. 7 in a state assembled in the platen unit 17 (platen 20).
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the inner wall surface 31 A of the width regulating portion 31 of the width guide member 29 faces the upper surface side of the platen 20, and the substrate portion 30 of the width guide member 29 faces the lower surface side of the platen 20. In addition, the knob portion 32 and its folded portion 35 (upstream outer projecting folded portion 35A, upstream inner projecting folded portion 35B, downstream inward projecting folded portion 35C, downstream outer projecting folded portion 35D) are facing.

図４および図５に示すように、プラテン２０の下面には、幅ガイド部材２９の基板部３０方向に向かって複数本の垂直リブ３９を形成してあり、それぞれの垂直リブ３９の先端側（図中下方側）に形成した係合凹部３９Ａに基板部３０がプラテン２０の下方から係合可能として、ガイドブラケット１９のプラテン側係合部１９Ａと幅規制部３１のガイド側係合部３１Ｃとの係合に加えて、幅ガイド部材２９のプラテン２０への取付け構造をより確実にしている。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of vertical ribs 39 are formed on the lower surface of the platen 20 toward the substrate portion 30 of the width guide member 29. In the engaging recess 39A formed on the lower side in the drawing, the base plate 30 can be engaged from below the platen 20, and the platen side engaging portion 19A of the guide bracket 19 and the guide side engaging portion 31C of the width restricting portion 31 In addition to this engagement, the mounting structure of the width guide member 29 to the platen 20 is further ensured.

既述のようなプラテンユニット１７に、移送輪５とともに、剥離機構７、ラベルガイド機構８および移送アーム２４などを組み込んである。
さらにプラテンユニット１７は、移送アーム２４を操作レバー３に連結する移送アーム軸２３おいて装置本体ハウジング２に対してこれを開閉可能とし、装置本体ハウジング２内へのラベル連続体Ｃの装填を可能とする。 In the platen unit 17 as described above, the peeling mechanism 7, the label guide mechanism 8, the transfer arm 24, and the like are incorporated together with the transfer wheel 5.
Further, the platen unit 17 can be opened and closed with respect to the apparatus main body housing 2 at the transfer arm shaft 23 connecting the transfer arm 24 to the operation lever 3, and the label continuous body C can be loaded into the apparatus main body housing 2. And

こうした構成のラベル貼付け装置１およびラベルガイド機構８において、操作レバー３のグリップ１０への握持およびその開放にともなう、ラベル連続体Ｃ（ラベル片Ｌ）への印字、移送、剥離を行う。
つぎに、おもに図４および図５にもとづき、ラベルガイド機構８およびその幅ガイド部材２９の動作について説明する。
ラベル連続体Ｃ（ラベル片Ｌ）の幅が異なるものをラベル貼付け装置１（ラベル供給部４）に装填する場合には、ラベルガイド機構８におけるガイドブラケット１９のプラテン側係合部１９Ａから、幅ガイド部材２９の幅規制部３１のガイド側係合部３１Ｃを外すとともに、幅ガイド部材２９の基板部３０をプラテン２０の下方における垂直リブ３９の係合凹部３９Ａから外して、幅規制部３１を着脱窓３３を通過させて幅ガイド部材２９をプラテン２０（プラテンユニット１７）から取り外す。
ついで、新しいラベル連続体Ｃの幅に対応した左右一対の幅規制部３１の間隔Ｗを有する新しい幅ガイド部材２９を図４に示すように、プラテンユニット１７（プラテン２０）の下方から着脱窓３３に挿入すれば、幅規制部３１のガイド側係合部３１Ｃがガイドブラケット１９のプラテン側係合部１９Ａに係合するとともに、基板部３０が垂直リブ３９の係合凹部３９Ａに係合し、幅ガイド部材２９をプラテン２０の下方部分に固定して、新しい幅規制部３１の内方壁面３１Ａが新しい幅のラベル連続体Ｃを適正に幅規制してガイドすることができる。
したがって、一台のラベル貼付け装置１により複数の幅を有する各種のラベル連続体Ｃを装填して、印字、移送、剥離および貼付け操作を行うことができる。
また、複数種のラベル連続体Ｃを一台のラベル貼付け装置１に装填可能であるため、印字器２５として、ラベル連続体Ｃの幅が狭いものあるいは広いものに応じて任意の段数、たとえば一列に印字を行う一列タイプ（一段型）、あるいは二列に印字を行う二列タイプ（二段型）などを同じ装置本体ハウジング２（操作レバー３のヨーク部１３）に選択的に装備することが可能となる。 In the label affixing device 1 and the label guide mechanism 8 having such a configuration, printing on the label continuous body C (label piece L), transfer, and peeling are performed as the operating lever 3 is held by the grip 10 and released.
Next, the operation of the label guide mechanism 8 and its width guide member 29 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS.
When the label continuum C (label piece L) having a different width is loaded into the label applicator 1 (label supply unit 4), the width from the platen side engaging portion 19A of the guide bracket 19 in the label guide mechanism 8 is increased. The guide side engaging portion 31C of the width restricting portion 31 of the guide member 29 is removed, the substrate portion 30 of the width guide member 29 is removed from the engaging recess 39A of the vertical rib 39 below the platen 20, and the width restricting portion 31 is removed. The width guide member 29 is removed from the platen 20 (platen unit 17) through the attachment / detachment window 33.
Next, as shown in FIG. 4, a new width guide member 29 having a gap W between the pair of left and right width restricting portions 31 corresponding to the width of the new label continuum C is attached to the removable window 33 from below the platen unit 17 (platen 20). The guide-side engaging portion 31C of the width restricting portion 31 engages with the platen-side engaging portion 19A of the guide bracket 19, and the substrate portion 30 engages with the engaging recess 39A of the vertical rib 39, The width guide member 29 is fixed to the lower part of the platen 20, and the inner wall surface 31A of the new width restricting portion 31 can properly guide the width of the label continuum C having the new width.
Therefore, various label continuums C having a plurality of widths can be loaded by one label sticking apparatus 1 to perform printing, transfer, peeling and sticking operations.
In addition, since a plurality of types of label continuous bodies C can be loaded into one label sticking apparatus 1, the number of stages, for example, a single row, as the printer 25, depends on whether the width of the label continuous body C is narrow or wide. It is possible to selectively equip the same apparatus main body housing 2 (yoke portion 13 of the operating lever 3) with a single-row type (one-stage type) that prints on the same or a two-row type (two-stage type) that prints on two rows. It becomes possible.

さらに、プラテン２０への取付けによってプラテン２０と垂直に位置することになる幅規制部３１およびつまみ部３２には、プラテン２０と水平に位置することになる平面的な折返し部３５が一体的に設けられているので、ラベル連続体Ｃの各異なる幅に応じて幅規制部３１およびつまみ部３２の厚さを薄くせざるを得ない場合であっても、この折返し部３５が幅ガイド部材２９全体の機械的強度を確保し、その曲がりを防止することができる。
また、つまみ部３２には、一対の補助延長部（上流側補助延長部３６および下流側補助延長部３７）が形成されているので、上記折返し部３５による所定の長さ範囲での補強作用による強度を保ちつつ、比較的長い範囲にわたってラベル連続体Ｃをガイド可能であり、ラベル連続体Ｃとして、特殊な形状、たとえばその両端縁部が凸凹形状をしているラベル連続体Ｃの場合であっても、その凸形状部分の幅ガイドを比較的長い範囲にわたって実行可能であり、ラベル連続体Ｃの移送方向における長さ方向での安定したガイド機能および移送機能を発揮することができる。 Further, the width restricting portion 31 and the knob portion 32 that are positioned perpendicular to the platen 20 by being attached to the platen 20 are integrally provided with a planar folded portion 35 that is positioned horizontally with the platen 20. Therefore, even if it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the width restricting portion 31 and the knob portion 32 according to the different widths of the label continuum C, the folded portion 35 can be used as a whole of the width guide member 29. The mechanical strength can be ensured and the bending can be prevented.
Further, since the knob portion 32 is formed with a pair of auxiliary extension portions (upstream side auxiliary extension portion 36 and downstream side auxiliary extension portion 37), the folding portion 35 is provided with a reinforcing action within a predetermined length range. The label continuum C can be guided over a relatively long range while maintaining the strength, and the label continuum C is a special shape, for example, a label continuum C having both ends of a concavo-convex shape. However, the width guide of the convex portion can be executed over a relatively long range, and a stable guide function and transfer function in the length direction in the transfer direction of the label continuous body C can be exhibited.

なお、図７および図９に、ラベル貼付け装置１への装填時のラベル連続体Ｃを仮想線で示すように、とくにつまみ部３２の長さ方向において折返し部３５としての上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂおよび下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃの間に非形成部３５Ｅが設けられているので、両端縁部が凸凹形状をしているラベル連続体Ｃの凸部分より幅および長さをわずかに大きく非形成部３５Ｅを形成するとともに、ラベル連続体Ｃの凹部分より幅および長さをわずかに小さく上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂおよび下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃを形成しておけば、ラベル貼付け装置１へのラベル連続体Ｃの装填にあたって、プラテンユニット１７(プラテン２０)の下面部に位置させる台紙Ｓが、これらの折返し部３５（上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂおよび下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃ)に乗り上げることなく、その下方部に誘導されて、正規の移送路１５（ラベル連続体Ｃないし台紙Ｓのセット位置）にセット可能であり、幅ガイド部材２９の幅規制部３１によってラベル連続体Ｃ(台紙Ｓ）の正規の幅規制を行うようにすることができるとともに、上流内方突出折返し部３５Ｂおよび下流内方突出折返し部３５Ｃが台紙Ｓを確実にプラテン２０の下面方向に押さえ付けて、移送輪５の断続的な回転によるラベル連続体Ｃの移送にともなう台紙Ｓのバタツキを抑制することができる。
7 and 9, as shown in phantom lines, the label continuous body C at the time of loading into the label applicator 1 is an upstream inward projecting folded portion as the folded portion 35, particularly in the length direction of the knob portion 32. Since the non-forming part 35E is provided between 35B and the downstream inwardly protruding folded part 35C, the width and length are slightly larger than the convex part of the label continuum C in which both end edges are uneven. If the forming portion 35E is formed and the upstream inwardly folded portion 35B and the downstream inwardly folded portion 35C are formed slightly smaller in width and length than the concave portion of the label continuous body C, the label sticking device 1 When the label continuous body C is loaded, the mount S positioned on the lower surface of the platen unit 17 (the platen 20) is connected to the folded portions 35 (the upstream inwardly protruding folded portions 35B and the lower portion). It is guided to the lower part without climbing on the inwardly protruding folded part 35C) and can be set in the regular transfer path 15 (set position of the label continuous body C or mount S). The regular width of the label continuous body C (mounting sheet S) can be regulated by the portion 31, and the upstream inwardly protruding folded portion 35B and the downstream inwardly protruding folded portion 35C can securely attach the mount S to the platen 20. By pressing in the lower surface direction, it is possible to suppress the flapping of the backing sheet S accompanying the transfer of the label continuous body C due to the intermittent rotation of the transfer wheel 5.
