Next, the operating status of this embodiment will be explained.

First, as shown in Fig. 1, the roll of the label continuous body (2) is placed on the winding reel (8), and the label continuous body (2) is moved between the rollers in the label issuing device (1) and the label detecting device. It passes through a container (7) and a printing device (6) to a peeler (5), and then the peeling mount (4) is folded back at the tip of the peeler (5) to remove the labels ( 3)
Vi, the above peeling mount (4) with the label feed roller (9)
After being detected by the label detector (7), the part of the label (3) that prints the display is sent to the printing device (6).
). Then, feeding of the label (3) is temporarily stopped.

The transported label (3) is rubbed against a pin head (6a) of a pin dot printer by a printing device (6) to print a display such as a character bar code.

In this case, the speed at which the label (3) is transported during printing is such that the label (3) is printed by a pin head (6a) of a binder printer, etc., so the object to be pasted (a) is The speed is slower than the transport speed.

The label (3) that has been transported at the above speed is removed by a peeler (
5), the label is peeled off from the peeling mount (4) and fed out to the label transport speed adjusting device V117.

The peeled label (3) is transferred to the label transport speed adjusting device (
ll) is vacuum-suctioned by the suction conveyance belt (14).

The above-mentioned suction is carried out by the suction device a7) discharging the air from the approximately airtight area formed by the suction box (18), the shielding means 05) and the suction conveying belt 04) into the suction opening (14a). This is done by creating a suction force.

In this example, the suction opening (14a)Fi is the gap provided in the suction opening (14a)Fi, and the gap provided in the plurality of suction and feeding bells)H as shown in FIG.
It may also be a suction hole (14b) provided in the suction feed bell (14) as shown in the figure.

The label (3) sucked by the suction conveyance bell N14) is transferred together with the suction conveyance bell N14) because the drive roller (12a) rotates the suction conveyance pel i4).

The speed at which the drive roller (12a) transports the suction transport belt (+4) can be freely set by the speed of the drive device (I dry control motor (12c)), and the transport means (+9)
The speed is set to be suitable for affixing the label (3) to the object to be affixed that is being conveyed by the machine, and a speed that is the same as or slightly slower than the speed at which the object to be affixed (4) is conveyed is suitable. .

Thus, the label (3) is transported by the suction transport bell (14) in the direction of the driven roller C131, and is affixed to the transported object.

Still, the driven roller end can swing up and down with the drive roller (12a) as a pivot point, and the driven roller end
Due to the weight of the label 31, the label (3) can be densely affixed to objects of different heights or objects 4 having the shape shown in FIG.

Note that the encoder that generates the number of pulses corresponding to the distance that the conveying means θ9) conveys the object to be applied is connected to the m conveying means (+
9), the conveyance means 09) determines the speed at which the object to be affixed is conveyed from the number of pulses generated by the encoder and the amount of time elapsed during that time, and transfers the peeled label (3) at the speed. In order to transfer at a speed adapted to the above, the speed of the drive device (national control motor (12c)) may be controlled according to the above-determined speed, or the speed may be controlled by a speed regulator.

The present invention is not limited to the above. For example, as shown in FIG.
4) a display printing device (6b) that prints the publisher's name, address, etc. in ordinary characters such as kana or kanji on the temporarily attached label (3) using a printing method such as letterpress printing; It may also include a code printing device (6c) that heat-sensitively colors codes such as barcode symbols by sliding a thermal head (6d) on them. In this case, the label (3) transferred to the printing device (6) is printed with the publisher's name, address, etc. in ordinary characters such as kana or kanji by the display printing device (6b). Printed using printing methods such as suppression, heat sensitive, etc.
Thereafter, the label feed roller (9) starts operating again, and the label (3) is transferred to the code printing device (6c) ic.

The time at which the label feed roller (9) starts after the operation of the label feed roller (9) is temporarily stopped is as follows:
In order to prevent double printing, misalignment of printing, etc., the time may be longer than the time during which the label (3) is kept stationary.

Further, the suction device θη according to the present invention may be constructed of a device such as a vacuum pump.

With the construction as described above, even when it takes a relatively long time to print a label using heat-sensitive coloring, etc., the object to be affixed can be transported while the speed of the transport means remains at the normal speed. , it is possible to affix a busy label to an object in an optimal situation.
