Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises an ink permeable portion and an ink non-permeable portion formed by heating and melting an ink permeable porous resin sheet having open cells in accordance with a printing pattern to form an ink non-permeable portion. The present invention relates to a stamp seal face creating system for producing a stamp seal face and a stamp seal face tape storage cassette for storing a porous resin sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an ink-permeable sheet-like porous resin is used for a printing surface, and the surface of the resin sheet is heated and melted in accordance with a figure or a character to be printed to form an ink non-permeable portion, There is known a stamp device configured to form a print pattern by an ink permeable portion and an ink non-permeable portion. For the formation of the ink non-transmissive part (that is, melting of the porous resin surface), an original with a stamped pattern consisting of a part that transmits light and a part that does not transmit light is used. It is known that heat is converted into heat to form the ink impermeable portion, and that the surface of the porous resin is directly heated by a thermal head used in a thermal printer or the like.

In the former case, a document on which a print pattern is formed by a portion that transmits light and a portion that does not transmit light, a black sheet for converting irradiated light into heat, and a porous resin sheet are overlapped. Then, by flashing a flash valve or the like, the portion of the porous resin sheet corresponding to the light transmitting portion of the document is melted to form the ink non-transmitting portion. In this case, since it is necessary to uniformly expose the original, the black sheet and the porous resin in a stacked state,
The size of the stamp surface that can be created is limited.

In the latter, the stamp is provided with a porous resin attached to the stamp face forming apparatus, and the thermal head heats and melts a portion which is an ink impermeable portion.

[0006]

However, when the size of the porous resin is fixed, and if the print pattern to be created is smaller than the size of the printing surface, most of the printing surface is ink. Since it needs to be formed as a non-permeable portion, the porous resin sheet is wasted. Further, since the size of the printing surface is a fixed size, the size of the print pattern that can be created is limited.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a stamp seal face forming system and a stamp seal face tape storage which can change the size of the stamp face according to the size of the printing pattern. The purpose is to provide a cassette.

Further, the rotation of the gear 64 is transmitted to the tape drive cam 70 via the gear 67, the gear 68, and the gear 71, and thereby, via the cam member 69 of the tape drive cam 70 and the drive rib 43 of the tape feed roller 12, Tape feed roller 1
The reference numeral 2 is for driving the film tape 17 and the double-sided adhesive tape 22 to be ejected from the tape ejecting section 24 to the outside of the tape printing cassette 1 while being driven to rotate clockwise and cooperating with the pressure contact roller 49.

As described with reference to FIG. 2, when the tape print cassette 1 is mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105, the thermal head H is located behind the arm 8 and the characters are formed on the opening 9A side of the film tape 17. And graphics will be printed. At this time, the printed characters and graphics are printed in the correct orientation when viewed from the outside (the side opposite to the printed side) of the film tape 17. That is, the thermal head H prints the characters and figures displayed on the display 109 on the opening 9A side of the film tape 17 as a reversed mirror image.

Next, the structure for detecting the information of the color of the ink of the ink ribbon 19 stored in the cassette 1, the color of the tape 17, the type of paper quality, the width dimension, and the combination thereof will be described. A cassette detector 16 is formed at the right rear edge position of the tape print cassette 1, and the cassette detector 16 has a type of the tape print cassette 1 (for example, the width of each film tape 17 and the ink ribbon 19). A plurality of switch holes 16A are formed with a predetermined pattern for detecting the type of the tape print cassette 1 is specified by the color of the ink applied to the tape print cassette 1).

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the cassette detector 16 of the tape print cassette 1 and the detection switch. FIG.
In the above, a switch support member 80 is disposed at the rear position of the cassette mounting portion 105, and the switch support member 80 is provided with an upward detection switch row 81. The detection switch row 81 includes four detection switches 8
1A, 81B, 81C, 81D. Each detection switch has switch terminals 82A, 82B, 82C, 82.
Each detection switch 81 has an off state when each switch end 82 enters a switch hole 16A formed in the switch detection portion 16 of the tape print cassette 1 in a predetermined pattern. Since the switch terminal 82 is pressed in a portion of the tape print cassette 1 where the switch hole 16A does not exist, the tape print cassette 1 is turned on.
The type of the tape print cassette 1 is detected based on the combination of ON / OFF of each detection switch 81. Therefore, with the cassette 1 accommodated in the cassette mounting portion 105, the type of cassette, and thus the width dimension and color type of the tape, can be detected by the detection switch 81.

In a normal printing process, not all of this information is used, but the print energy application range in the tape width direction of the thermal head H is adjusted based on the tape width information among these information. .

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a. The stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a has the same outer shape as that of the tape print cassette 1, and instead of the film tape 17, the ink ribbon 19 and the double-sided adhesive tape 22, stores the stamp stamp face tape 200 made of the above-mentioned porous resin. It was done. First
In the embodiment, a black porous resin tape is used as the stamp printing surface tape 200. In the first embodiment, this is because the printing process is performed under the same operating condition regardless of whether the tape printing cassette 1 is installed or the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a is installed. This is to ensure that the heating and melting are performed by using the black porous resin body having a high rate. Depending on the material of the porous resin, heating and melting may be normally performed even if a stamp-printing tape other than black is used.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to use tapes of two kinds of tape width for both the tape for tape printing and the tape for stamp imprinting. The relationship between the states of the detection switches 81A to 81D and the type of cassette is as follows, for example.

The pattern of the switch detection portion 16 of the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a is the cassette mounting portion 10
When the cassette is attached to 5, the detection switches 81C and 81D are both turned on. On the other hand, the switch detection unit 16 of the tape print cassette 1
The pattern is formed so that when the cassette is mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105, one of the detection switches 81C and 81D is in the ON state and the other is in the OFF state. Furthermore, in both the tape print cassette 1 and the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a,
The pattern of the switch detection unit 16 is formed so that the width and narrowness of the tape can be detected by turning on and off the detection switch 81A.

More specifically, if both the detection switches 81C and 81D are in the ON state, it can be determined that the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a has been mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105. And the detection switch 81A
If is off, it is determined that a narrow tape is mounted, and if the detection switch 81A is on, it is determined that a wide tape is mounted.

When the cassette mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105 is the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a, the detection switch 81B is further turned on / off,
The material of the tape can be detected.

When the cassette mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105 is the tape printing cassette 1, the color of the ink on the ink ribbon 19 depends on the combination of ON / OFF of the detection switches 81C and 81D and the state of the detection switch 81B. Information such as the color of the double-sided adhesive tape 22 can be detected.

With the above configuration, the detection switches 81C and 81D are both on or the detection switch 8
Depending on whether one of 1C and 81D is off,
It is possible to determine whether the cassette mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105 is the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a or the tape print cassette 1.

In the above example, the detection switch 81C
Although the pattern of the detection unit 16 in which both 81D and 81D are turned off is not included, it is possible to use a combination of ON / OFF of all the switches when the type of tape is further subdivided and identified. . In the above example, 12 types of cassettes are identified (the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a is classified into 4 types,
The tape print cassette 1 is described as being classified into eight types. However, the detection switch 81A,
Since 16 types of identification can be performed using the four 81B, 81C, and 81D, the number of types of cassettes to be identified can be any number within a range not exceeding this.

In FIG. 6, the same components as those of the tape print cassette 1 of FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals.
The stamp marking tape 200 is wound around a rotatable tape spool 210. The stamp printing surface tape 200 is pulled out from the tape spool 210 by the cooperation of the drive motor 60, the tape feed roller 12 and the pressure contact roller 49 provided on the tape printer side.
From the opening 8A of the arm portion 8 to the front side of the head mounting portion 9 (see FIG.
The lower side) and is ejected from the tape ejecting section 24 to the outside of the stamp stamp face tape storing cassette 1a.

Then, the head H heats and melts the surface of the stamp surface tape 200 according to a desired print pattern input from the keyboard 107. As described above, the thermal head H is controlled so as to write a mirror image of the displayed character when the heat is generated according to the character displayed on the display 109. Therefore, when the stamp imprinting tape 200 is mounted on the cassette mounting portion 105, the characters formed on the stamp imprinting tape surface 200 have a pattern in which the characters displayed on the display 109 are turned upside down. If the surface is imprinted as the imprint surface as it is, a stamp surface is created in which characters having the same direction as the characters displayed on the display 109 are imprinted.

As described above, according to the first embodiment,
The tape for stamp stamp surface 200
By mounting the cassette 1a in which the stamp is stored, the stamp face can be created by the same operation as the normal print operation without changing the operating conditions on the tape printer side.

In the above method, since the portion corresponding to the character or figure displayed in black on the display 109 is heated, the print pattern created on the stamp imprinting tape 200 is black and white on the display 109. The pattern is reversed. That is, the ink transfer portion of the printed figure is the white portion of the display 109, and the non-transferred portion of the printed pattern corresponds to the black portion of the display 109.

Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, the basic configurations of the tape printing cassette 1, the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a, and the tape printer 100 are the same as those in the first embodiment. However, in the second embodiment, the operation mode is changed depending on whether the cassette mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105 of the tape printer 100 is the tape print cassette 1 or the stamp stamp face tape storage cassette 1a. .

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control system in the tape printer of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, as the control unit 110, CPs connected to each other by a bus 118 are connected.
U111, ROM112, RAM113, head CG
A ROM 114, a display CG-ROM 115 for displaying on the display 109, an input interface 116 connected to the keyboard 107, and an output interface 117 are provided. Furthermore, the control unit 110
Is provided with a head drive circuit 119, a motor drive circuit 120, and a display drive circuit 121, which are connected to the output interface 117, respectively. ROM1
12 is provided with a program memory 122 storing a control program for controlling the operation of the thermal head H and a dictionary memory 123 for converting kana / kanji. The RAM 113 includes an input buffer 124 for storing input data and a print buffer 12 for storing print patterns.
5, a shift register 126, and other various counters and registers are provided. In the printing CG-ROM 114, dot pattern data of a large number of characters, which is a printing pattern for driving the plurality of heating resistors included in the thermal head H, is stored in association with the code data, and the display CG-ROM is also stored. The ROM 115 has a display 10
Display dot pattern data of characters to be displayed at 9 is stored in association with the code data.

As in the case of the first embodiment, the type of cassette mounted in the cassette mounting portion 105 is detected based on the combination of ON / OFF of the four detection switches 81A, 81B, 81C and 81D. And the CPU 110
It is determined whether the mounted cassette is the tape printing cassette 1 or the stamp imprinting tape storage cassette 1a. When the mounted cassette is the tape printing cassette 1, the normal tape printing process is performed based on the tape width information of the mounted cassette. The installed cassette is a tape storage cassette for stamp stamp 1a
If it is, the printing mode is set to the stamp printing surface creation mode and the driving method of the thermal head H is changed.

As described in the first embodiment,
Thermal head H with the same program as tape printing
When is driven, the pattern of characters / graphics displayed on the display 109 and the pattern imprinted by the stamp surface created based on the pattern are reversed in black and white. Therefore, in the second embodiment, when the stamp seal face making mode is selected, first, the display 1
The bit of the drive pattern for driving the thermal head H is inverted with respect to the pattern displayed on page 09.
For example, the letters AB on the display 109
When the thermal head H is driven when the character string is displayed as a black pattern,
Control is performed so that the other surface is heated and melted without heating the portion corresponding to the letters AB. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 8, only the portion of the character AB is left as the ink transmitting portion 245, and the other surface is left on the ink non-transmitting portion 24.
It is formed as 0.

Further, when the stamp printing surface creation mode is selected, a dotted line pattern 250 as shown in FIG. 8 is printed at the beginning and the end of the area of the tape 200 formed as the ink impermeable portion 240. , So that the area can be easily recognized. If the user cuts the inside of the dotted line 250 (the portion where the print pattern is formed) with scissors, both ends of the cut print surface are always ink impermeable regions.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a stamp using the stamp stamp face tape prepared according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment. Stamp 230
Is configured by fixing the stamp printing surface tape 200 to the grip portion 235 by the adhesive layer 232. At the time of imprinting, ink is applied to the surface of the stamp imprinting tape 200, and the ink is impregnated into the inside of the stamp imprinting tape, which is a porous resin, from the ink permeable portion. Then, after the surface ink is wiped off, the stamp 230 is pressed against the recording paper, whereby the ink that has permeated the porous resin via the ink transmitting portion 245 is transferred to the recording paper.

In the second embodiment, in the stamp imprint forming mode and the normal tape print mode,
It is also possible to change the operating conditions relating to the printing operation such as the driving time of the thermal head. Further, in the stamp seal face forming mode, if the material of the stamp face forming tape to be used can be identified based on the states of the detection switches 81A to 81D, the operating condition can be changed according to the tape material. It is also possible to perform control so that the stamp surface is formed under optimum operating conditions depending on the tape.

For example, as the stamp marking tape 200, a urethane type porous resin (having a melting point of 160 ° to 240 °) is used.
If the temperature is higher than the thermal ribbon, the control unit 110 uses a longer time to drive the thermal head per pixel in the stamp creation mode than in the printing mode. can do. When a polyolefin-based porous resin (having a melting point of 60 to 140 degrees) is used, a strobe pulse width equivalent to that in the print mode can be selected.

Not limited to the driving time of the thermal head, other elements such as applied voltage may be changed.

[0048]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the tape-shaped porous resin to be the stamp printing surface is housed in a rotatable winding roll, and the cassette is stored. Since the stamp print surface creating system is constituted by the thermal head for heating the porous resin according to the pattern and the carrying means for carrying the porous resin, the stamp printing surface of any length can be created.

According to the second aspect of the invention, since the porous resin pulled out from the winding roll is discharged from the discharge port of the stamp producing device via the position in contact with the thermal head, the print pattern is formed. Accordingly, the stamp printing surface can be prepared using only the required amount of the porous resin without excess or deficiency.
