Description

  The present invention draws a label continuum from a roll body in which a strip-shaped label continuum is wound in a roll shape, performs printing on the label as necessary, and attaches the label separated from the label continuum to the adherend. The present invention relates to a portable label sticking machine used for sticking.

  A conventional portable label sticking machine holds a roll body in which a continuous label body, in which a plurality of labels are temporarily attached on a mount (release paper), is wound in a roll shape, and feeds the continuous label body from the roll body. Then, the mount is turned at the label peeling portion, and the individual labels are peeled off from the mount so that they can be attached to the adherend (see Patent Document 1). Therefore, after the label is attached, the mount is no longer necessary and is discarded, resulting in a waste of resources.

  Therefore, as described in Patent Document 2, a portable label sticking machine that can use a continuous label without a mount is required. By using a continuous label without a mount, resources are not wasted, and an environmentally friendly portable label applicator can be realized.

  For example, a continuous label without a mount is capable of separating individual labels by forming perforations (micro perforations) in the width direction at a predetermined interval on a belt-like label base material. Adhesive layers are provided in strips on both side edges, and a release agent layer (silicone oil layer, etc.) is provided in strips on a corresponding portion of the label substrate surface. The area between the agent layers is the printing area.

  In the portable label applicator, the label continuous body is pulled out from the roll body held by the holding mechanism, the label continuous body is temporarily attached onto the transfer belt by the adhesive layer, and the label is moved by driving the transfer belt. Be transported. When the label reaches a predetermined point, the label is printed by the printer as necessary. The printer is provided with a print content setting member such as an adjustment spindle or a setting dial in order to set the print content.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a manual labeling machine for printing and carrying out self-adhesive labels. As shown in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 3, a print wheel 5 supported rotatably around a shaft 6 is disposed in the front section of the casing, and an adjustment spindle having a turning knob 7. By 8, a plurality of characters arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the print wheel 5 are brought into a predetermined print area. Here, the adjusting spindle 8 may protrude very greatly from the side wall 15 of the casing.

  Therefore, if the portable label applicator placed on the desk with the bottom side down is tilted sideways or dropped on the floor, the print content setting member or roll will collide with the desk or floor and the print content will be There is a risk that the setting member, the roll body holding mechanism and the like may be damaged. On the other hand, if a large guard part protruding from the side surface of the portable label sticking machine is provided to protect the print content setting member, the overall structure becomes large and the weight increases or the operability decreases. There's a problem.

A roll body including the shaft 15 and having the label continuous body 3 wound in a roll shape can be loaded and held on the label holding shaft 15.

  A pair of left and right side plates 2 is integrally provided with a grip 10 that can be gripped by an operator. The operation lever 5 is attached to the grip 10 so as to be rotatable around a lever shaft 11. An arbitrary urging member, for example, a coil spring 12, is provided between the operation lever 5 and the grip 10, and the operation lever 5 is attached to the grip 10 in a separated state when released as shown in FIG. It is possible.

  The operator drives the platen unit 6, the printer 7, and the label cutting mechanism 8 by gripping and releasing the operation lever 5 together with the grip 10 against the urging force of the coil spring 12, and then pasting. Using the roller 9, an operation of attaching the single-leaf label 3 a separated from the label continuous body 3 to the adherend is performed.

  The platen unit 6 is a transport mechanism that transports the label continuous body 3 in the direction of the affixing roller 9 as the operation lever 5 rotates. The label 3 a is sent out from the tip (left end in the figure), and the label is applied by the affixing roller 9. 3a can be affixed to a to-be-adhered body.

  FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the platen unit shown in FIG. The platen unit 6 includes a platen frame 18, a transfer roller 19, and a pressing element 20, and the transfer roller 19 and the pressing element 20 can contact and separate from each other.

  The platen frame 18 is attached to the casing so as to be opened and closed with respect to the casing by rotating around the platen opening / closing shaft 21. A pair of engagement / disengagement rollers 26 are formed on the left and right sides of the front end side of the platen frame 18 so as to be able to engage / disengage with an opening / closing engagement / disconnection piece connected to an opening / closing knob 49 (FIG. 1). It has become. By operating the opening / closing knob 49 to open / close the entire platen unit 6 with respect to the housing, the label continuous body 3 shown in FIG. 1 can be inserted between the platen frame 18 and the transfer roller 19 and loaded. It becomes possible.

  The transfer roller 19 is attached to an opening formed in the platen frame 18 so as to be rotatable around a roller shaft 27, and rotates in contact with the surface (release agent layer) of the label continuous body 3, thereby holding mechanism 4. The label continuous body 3 is pulled out from the roll body held in (FIG. 1) and transferred.

  In the label continuous body 3, when one or a plurality of transfer slits are formed in the central portion of the micro perforation, the transfer rollers 19 are provided with one or more rows of transfer claws 33 at a predetermined pitch. It may be provided. These transfer claws 33 can be engaged with and disengaged from the transfer slit of the label continuous body 3. In the example shown in FIG. 2, a central circumferential groove 32 is formed between the circumferential portions provided with two rows of transfer claws 33, and a pair of left and right outer sides are formed on both sides of the circumferential portions. A circumferential groove 34 is formed.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of main parts of the operation lever and the platen unit shown in FIG. The operation lever 5 has a bifurcated yoke portion 5a on the tip side, and the printer 7 (FIG. 1) is attached to the yoke portion 5a. In addition, a transfer rotation claw 30 is attached to the connection shaft 29 of the connection arm 28 extending below the lever shaft 11 in the operation lever 5 so as to be able to reciprocate. The transfer rotation claw 30 is urged upward in the figure, and can be engaged with and disengaged from each of the plurality of transfer protrusions 31 provided radially on the side surface of the roller gear 25 in the transfer roller 19. Rotate. The operation lever 5 and the connecting arm 28 to the transfer projection 31 together with the grip 10 to the coil spring 12 shown in FIG. 1 constitute an operation mechanism that drives the platen unit 6 and the like as the operation lever 5 rotates.

  The platen unit 6 includes a drive gear 22, a driven gear 23, and a transfer endless belt 24 that is wound around the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23. The driving gear 22 to the transfer endless belt 24 constitute a transfer mechanism that transfers the label continuous body 3 supplied from the transfer roller 19 in a predetermined direction. When the drive gear 22 engages with the roller gear 25 of the transfer roller 19, the transfer endless belt 24 is driven as the transfer roller 19 rotates. The transfer endless belt 24 contacts the back surface (adhesive layer) of the label continuum and transfers the label continuum.

  Here, when the operator holds the operation lever 5 together with the grip 10 (FIG. 1), the operation lever 5 rotates from the first position (lower side in the figure) to the second position (upper side in the figure). To do. As a result, the transfer rotation claw 30 connected to the connection arm 28 via the connection shaft 29 is another transfer protrusion 31 adjacent to the left side of the one transfer protrusion 31 that has been engaged so far. Will come into engagement.

  Further, as the operation lever 5 rotates, the label cutting mechanism 8 (FIG. 1) cuts the label continuous body on the transfer endless belt 24 along the micro perforation, and the single-leaf label is removed from the label continuous body. To separate. Further, the printer 7 (FIG. 1) attached to the yoke portion 5a performs imprinting on the single-leaf label separated from the label continuous body.

  On the other hand, when the operator releases the operation lever 5 from the grip, the operation lever 5 rotates from the second position to the first position, and is connected to the connection arm 28 via the connection shaft 29. The moving claw 30 pushes the engaged transfer protrusion 31. Thereby, the transfer roller 19 rotates around the roller shaft 27 by a predetermined angle, and the continuous label body is pulled out from the roll body held by the holding mechanism 4 (FIG. 1) and transferred. Further, since the drive gear 22 rotates via the roller gear 25, the transfer endless belt 24 is driven by a predetermined distance, and the label continuous body supplied from the transfer roller 19 is transferred in a predetermined direction.

  Since the back surface (adhesive layer) of the transferred label continuum is in contact with the surface of the transfer endless belt 24, the transfer endless belt 24 is made of silicone or fluorine rubber having non-adhesive properties. Alternatively, it is desirable to apply a release agent or the like to the surface of the transfer endless belt 24. Further, since the transfer endless belt 24 also serves as a cradle for the stamping operation on the label continuum by the printer 7, the transfer endless belt 24 is disposed inside the transfer endless belt 24 facing the printer 7 in the platen frame 18 (FIG. 2). A pressure receiving plate may be arranged.

  Referring to FIG. 2 again, the pressing element 20 includes an element frame 35, two pairs of upper, lower, left and right backup rollers 36, a pair of left and right backup rings 37 located inside the backup roller 36, a torsion coil spring 38, and left and right A pair of leaf springs 39 is included.

  The element frame 35 is provided on the support frame 41, a pair of left and right support frames 41 facing the circumference of the transfer roller 19, a pair of left and right widening frames 42 projecting outward from the support frame 41, and the support frame 41. And a pair of upper and lower rotating shafts 43 for mounting the backup roller 36 and the backup ring 37. The torsion coil spring 38 allows the transfer roller 19 to be separated from the pressing element 20 and allows a gap to be inserted between them so that the label continuous body can be inserted.

  FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state in which the platen unit is closed with respect to the housing. When the platen unit 6 is closed with respect to the housing, the transfer roller 19 and the pressing element 20 are pressed against each other. At that time, the backup roller 36 and the backup ring 37 (FIG. 2) press the label continuous body against the transfer roller 19 side.

  Here, since the backup roller 36 and the backup ring 37 are in line contact with the back surface (adhesive layer) of the label continuum, the adhesive force with the adhesive layer can be minimized and a pair of left and right leaf springs can be used. 39 allows pressing with a predetermined spring elasticity. Note that the backup roller 36 and the backup ring 37 are preferably made of silicone or fluorine rubber having non-adhesive properties, or have a release agent or the like applied to the surface.

  As the backup ring 37 rotates along the outer circumferential groove 34 formed in the transfer roller 19, the label continuous body is sandwiched between the transfer roller 19 and the pressing element 20. Further, the transfer claw 33 of the transfer roller 19 is engaged with the transfer slit from the surface side of the label continuous body, and the label continuous body is fed onto the transfer endless belt 24 by the rotation of the transfer roller 19.

  FIG. 5 is a side view showing a state in which the platen unit is opened with respect to the housing. When the platen unit 6 is opened with respect to the housing, the transfer roller 19 is separated from the pressing element 20, and a gap 40 for introducing the label continuous body 3 is formed therebetween.

  The widening frame 42 fixed to the support frame 41 is attached so as to be rotatable around an element shaft 47 provided on the outer wall surface of the platen frame 18, and the platen frame 18 is relatively moved with respect to the pressing element 20. It can be rotated.

  The torsion coil spring 38 is rotatably supported by a spring mounting shaft 44 provided on the outer wall surface of one support frame 41, and the first spring receiver 45 provided on the inner wall surface of the platen frame 18 and the one side Both ends of the platen frame 18 are urged against the pressing element 20 in a released state (FIG. 5) by contacting both ends with a second spring receiver 46 provided on the support frame 41.

  The leaf spring 39 is attached to the back surface of the support frame 41 opposite to the transfer roller 19 and cooperates with the torsion coil spring 38 by contacting the lever shaft 11 (FIG. 3) of the operation lever. Then, the platen frame 18 is biased with respect to the housing in a direction to be in a released state (FIG. 5).

  FIG. 6 is a view showing the appearance of the portable label sticking machine, FIG. 6 (A) is a side view showing the side opposite to the side shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 (B) is a front view. . In FIG. 6 and other drawings, the axis parallel to the roller shaft 27 (FIG. 3) is the Z axis. The printer 7 attached to the yoke portion 5a is provided with a ring-shaped type portion 7a as shown in FIG. 6B. The type part 7a is rotatably supported by, for example, a plurality of rotation shafts, and a plurality of lines of type letters (letter plates) are formed at predetermined intervals on the outer peripheral surface of the type part 7a.

  The printer 7 is provided with a setting dial 7b as a print content setting member for setting the content to be printed on the label. By operating the setting dial 7b, it is possible to set the type exposed at the front end of the printer 7 so as to face the label. That is, by pulling out the setting dial 7b in the direction opposite to the Z-axis, a character string is selected according to the distance to be drawn, and by rotating the setting dial 7b, a desired character is set in the selected string. Can do.

  In a normal state other than when printing contents are set, as shown in FIG. 6B, the setting dial 7b is pushed in the Z-axis direction. Even in this state, the setting dial 7b protrudes outward (in the direction opposite to the Z axis) from one side plate (left side plate) 2 of the housing. Therefore, if the portable label applicator placed on the desk with the bottom face down is tilted sideways or dropped on the floor, the setting dial 7b may collide with the desk or the floor and be damaged. Further, when the roll body collides with the desk or the floor, the holding mechanism 4 that holds the roll body may be damaged.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion 2a is provided on the side plate 2 so as to protrude further outward than the setting dial 7b below the setting dial 7b. Thereby, even if the portable label sticking machine placed on the desk with the bottom face down is tilted sideways, the setting dial 7b, the holding mechanism 4 and the like are not easily damaged.

  The protruding portion 2 a may be formed integrally with the side plate 2, or may be bonded to the side plate 2 after being formed separately from the side plate 2. When the protrusion 2a is integrally molded with the side plate 2, the position of the protrusion 2a can be made to coincide with the injection position at the time of molding.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the protruding portion 2 a is provided on the outer surface of the guard portion 2 b that protrudes outward on the side plate 2. For example, in FIG. 6B, the position (Z coordinate) in the Z-axis direction of the left end in the figure of the guard part 2b excluding the protrusion 2a is the position (Z coordinate) in the Z-axis direction of the left end in the figure of the setting dial 7b. May be the same. Even in that case, since the projection 2a protrudes outward from the setting dial 7b, the setting dial 7b can be prevented from being damaged.

  By providing the protrusion 2a, the size of the guard portion 2b can be reduced, so that the disadvantage that the entire structure is enlarged and the weight is increased or the operability is reduced is reduced. In addition, when the portable label affixing machine placed on the desk is tilted sideways, the guard 2b other than the protrusion 2a does not contact the desk because the protrusion 2a contacts the desk. It is possible to prevent the wide area of the portion 2b from being damaged.

  FIG. 7 is an enlarged view showing a part of the side surface shown in FIG. 8A and 8B are diagrams showing an example of the arrangement of the protrusions and the ribs. FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view and FIG. 8B is a back view. 9A and 9B are diagrams showing deformation of the side plate when stress is applied to the protruding portion shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9A is a cross-sectional view, and FIG. 9B is a back view.

A second rib 2d extending in a second direction different from the first direction may be provided. In FIG. 7, the region where these ribs 2c and 2d are provided may be within the region of the guard portion 2b or may exceed the region of the guard portion 2b.

  The protrusion 2a is provided on the outer surface of the side plate 2 at a position corresponding to the intersection of the rib 2c and the rib 2d. As a result, when stress is applied to the protrusion 2a shown in FIG. 8, the stress is distributed over a wide area of the casing through the ribs 2c and 2d as shown in FIG. It can be prevented from being damaged.

  7-9, although the example which provides the two ribs 2c and 2d in the inner surface of the side plate 2 was shown, you may make it provide the one rib extended in a predetermined direction on the inner surface of the side plate 2. FIG. In that case, if the protrusion 2a is provided on the outer surface of the side plate 2 at a position corresponding to the region where the rib is provided, the housing through the rib when stress is applied to the protrusion 2a. Stress is distributed over a large area of the body.

By further gripping the operation lever 5, the cutting piece 51 moves to the right from this state, so that the cutting piece 51 cuts into the side surface of the label continuous body 3.

  When the operation lever 5 is further gripped, the connection plate 54 is further lowered by transmission of the driving force from the operation lever 5, and the driving force is transmitted to the burster bracket 56 via the link bar 55. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, the Burster bracket 56 moves toward the right end of the guide window 69 of the lateral rail member 57, and the cutting piece 51 moves along the transverse recess 24 a of the transfer endless belt 24. .

  The circumferential tip 51a of the cutting piece enters the transverse recess 24a of the transfer endless belt 24 while applying a predetermined pressing force to the edge portion of the label continuous body 3, and extends to the edge portion of the label continuous body 3. The label continuum 3 is broken sequentially from the end of the existing perforation. As a result, the label continuous body 3 can be cut with a relatively small force to separate the label continuous body 3 into single-leaf labels.

  Since the transverse recess 24a of the transfer endless belt 24 is formed relatively thin in accordance with the shape of the circumferential tip 51a of the cutting piece 51, the circumferential tip 51a and the micro perforation of the label continuous body 3 Even if the relative position slightly deviates, the micro perforation of the label continuous body 3 or the vicinity thereof can enter the transverse recess 24a. Therefore, the cutting operation as described above can be performed accurately.

  With the operating lever 5 fully gripped, the cutting piece 51 completes the cutting of the label continuous body 3, and the coil spring 12 (FIG. 1) acts on the connecting plate 54 as the operating lever 5 is released. Due to the force, the cutting piece 51 begins to separate from the label continuous body 3.

  When the operation lever 5 is released, the link bar 55 is pulled up by the connecting plate 54. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, the Burster bracket 56 rotates counterclockwise around the fulcrum pin 65, the attitude regulating pin 66 contacts the upper inner wall surface 69 a of the guide window 69, and the cutting piece 51 Is raised from the surface of the label continuum 3. As the operating lever 5 is released, the connecting plate 54 and the link bar 55 return upward, and the burster bracket 56 returns to its original position.

  In the process of releasing the operation lever 5, the continuous label body 3 is transferred by a predetermined angle by the transfer roller 19, and the continuous label body 3 is transferred by a predetermined distance by the transfer endless belt 24. Therefore, during the movement of the label continuum 3, the cutting piece 51 does not contact or interfere with the label continuum 3 so that the transfer of the label continuum 3 is not hindered.

  However, due to a slight timing difference between the cutting operation and the transfer operation of the label continuous body 3 due to the gripping and releasing of the operation lever 5, the cutting piece 51 is engaged with the transverse recess 24a of the label continuous body 3 or the transfer endless belt 24. Even if the label continuum 3 is transferred in a state where the tape is continuous, the taper shape of the circumferential tip 51a of the cutting piece and the taper shape of the transverse recess 24a of the transfer endless belt 24 are almost the same inclined surface. (See FIG. 15B), the cutting piece 51 is separated upward from the transverse recess 24a of the transfer endless belt 24 without stopping the transfer of the label continuous body 3. can do.

  Referring again to FIG. 1, the printer 7 is attached to the tip end side of the bifurcated yoke portion 5 a of the operation lever 5. When the operator holds the operation lever 5 together with the grip 10, the printer 7 also Rotate. As a result, ink is applied to the type portion 7a of the printer 7 by the ink roller 48, and the type portion 7a comes into contact with the label 3a which is attached to the upper surface of the transfer endless belt 24 and transferred to the label 3a. Predetermined information is printed. Here, the printer 7 and the ink roller 48 constitute a printing mechanism that performs printing on the label 3 a on the transfer endless belt 24. In addition, when using the label continuous body 3 which has already been printed, it is not necessary to print on the label 3a, and therefore printing can be omitted by removing the printer 7 or the like.

  The pasting roller 9 is located at the lower end of the front end of the casing of the portable label pasting machine 1 (lower left end in FIG. 1), and a part of its circumference is exposed to the outside of the casing. The endless belt 24 comes into contact with the label 3a conveyed to the tip end portion of the platen unit 6. When the operator performs a pasting operation of pressing the label 3a on the pasting roller 9 against the body to be pasted, the label 3a is pressed and pasted to the body to be pasted by the pasting roller 9.

  In the above embodiment, although the case where the label continuous body without a mount was used was demonstrated, this invention is applicable also to the portable label sticking machine which uses the general label continuous body with a mount. .
