Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an automatic label pasting device for price tags, which stamps a company's seal or store seal, etc., and also stamps a correction line on the price written in the price column of the price tag body. be.

Generally, products are purchased in large quantities at Deno 4-), Suu J'P Market, etc. and kept in stock, but the prices of the products may be reduced during seasonal changes, inventory periods, etc. In such cases, in the conventional method, price tags were processed in the following steps.

In other words, Figures 1 and 2 are company A's price tag.

Figure 1 shows a price tag showing the regular price, and Figure 2 shows a water-containing price tag with a price reduction sticker attached. In Figure 1, 10
0 is a price tag, which includes a price tag main body 101 attached to the product;
The sales tag section 102 and the sales tag section 102
is detachable from the price tag main body 101 at a perforation 103. A predetermined price is printed in the price column 104 of the price tag body section 101, and the same price is also printed in the price column 105 of the sales tag section 102. The price tag 100I'lt is usually attached to the product, and when the customer purchases the product, the sales tag section 102 is separated at the perforation 103, and the tag section 102 is later processed by a card reader or the like.

On the other hand, when reducing the price of a product, as shown in FIG.
A label 106 is placed above the price column 105 of No. 2.

Next, a stamp 107 such as a worker's seal or a store seal is stamped on the price reduction label 106 to prove that the price has been reduced accordingly. Furthermore, the price 81 of the price tag main body 101
A correction line 108 consisting of two lines is drawn on the price of 04 using red ink or red pencil.

Further, FIGS. 3 and 4 show price tags from company B. FIG. 3 shows the price tag showing the regular price, and FIG. 4 shows the price tag with a price reduction sticker attached. In FIG. 3, 200 is a price tag, and the price tag 200 consists of a price tag body part 201, a sales tag part 202, and a warehousing tag part 203, and the part between these can be separated at perforations 204 and 205. ing. The price of the titration is printed in each price field 206, 207, 208 of the price tag body section 201, the sales tag section 202, and the warehousing tag section 203, respectively. Then, the warehousing tag section 203 is separated at the time of warehousing, and the price tag body section 201 and the sales tag section 202 are attached to the product as one body.
When a customer purchases a product, the sales tag section 203 is separated.

On the other hand, when reducing the price of a product, as shown in FIG.
, labels 209 and 210 are attached to each price field 207 and 208 of the stocking tag section 203. Next, a discount stamp 211 is stamped only on the price reduction label 209 of the sales tag section 202. Furthermore, although the price in the price column 206 of the price tag body 201 is based on the Niki line, the conventional method described above has the following drawbacks. That is, in the price tag 100 of Company A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sales information is entered in the price field 105 of the tag section 102, and the price reduction is entered in the label 106 with a handler, followed by the stamp 107 and the price field. The drawing of the correction lines 108 on the lines 104 and the like must be done manually, and when there are many 1000 price tags, there is a disadvantage that the manual work is forced to take a long time. Moreover, when pasting the 'price down' label 106, the handler propeller must be accurately positioned at the price column 105, and if it accidentally overlaps with another printed area, There is a drawback that reading of the sales tag section 102 by the card league is hindered. Further, the price tag 200 of Company B shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 not only has the same drawbacks as described above, but also requires the price reduction label 210 to be affixed to the warehousing tag section 2()3. However, the disadvantage is that the work is even more complicated.

The present invention has been devised in view of the drawbacks of the conventional methods described above, and it is possible to automatically affix a price reduction label to a regular price tag, and also to affix a price stamp to the price reduction label and a price tag main body. The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic label pasting device for price tags that is capable of automatically stamping a correction line in the price column of a price tag.

At this time, in conjunction with the operation of lifting the switch 16 completely upward, the switch/chi operation plate 21 operates the switch IIB of the switch mechanism 11, and the switch IIB is activated.
The signal from the IB is input to the control circuit 55 (step 2).

Accordingly, the control 11 circuit 55 selects the sequence operation for eight companies or the operation program for eight companies.

Note that if the switch IIB is not activated in step 2, the lamp (not shown) is almost lit, so this is confirmed and the above-described operation is repeated.

Next, if the number of 2000 price tags is known in advance, the number is preset using the cane preset switch, and the start switch 56 is activated (step 3). As a result, the feeding motor 26 rotates in the reverse direction in the direction of arrow 31, and the lapeller drive motor 45 rotates once (step 4). That is, as the feeding motor 26 rotates in the opposite direction, the feeding belt 29 also rotates in the same direction, so the price tag 200 in the hole 916 is urged to come into contact with the upper end of the right side plate 16G, and is restricted by the right side plate 16C. Even if it is, one lock will be decided. At the same time, the lapeller drive motor 44 rotates to lift the reno-42C of the handler 42, and the affixing section 42E affixes the price reduction label 209 to the price column 207 of the sales tag section 202 of the price tag 200.

Next, when one rotation of the lyre drive motor 44 is completed as described above, the control circuit 55 outputs a signal for normal rotation of the feed motor 26 in the direction of arrow 30, and also sends a pulse to the feed motor 32, which is a stepping motor. output and rotate them (Stella 7'5). Feeding motor 26
During normal rotation, the price tag 20 stacked on the price tag stacking part B
0, the topmost price tag 200 is fed out from between the feeding claws 3.9 and 40 by the feeding belt 29. At this time, since the feed roller 34 is rotated by the feed motor 32 via the feed belt 35, the feed roller 34 is rotated by the feed motor 32.
The price tag 200 from 40 is the feed roller 3 on the left end side in the diagram.
4. It is sent out through the idle rollers 36.

When the tip of the price tag 200 reaches the price tag detection switch 41, the switch 41 outputs a price tag detection signal to the control circuit 55 (step 6). As a result, the control circuit 55 stops the rotation of the feeding motor 26 and starts counting the number of pulses output to the feeding motor 32 (step 7). - When the number of pulses reaches a preset predetermined number of pulses (see step 8), the control circuit 5
5 stops /'P pulse output to the sending motor 32,
The rotation of the delivery motor 32 is stopped, and the lyre drive motor 44 is rotated once (Step 9). As a result, the handler propeller 42 is operated by the lapeller drive motor 44, and the price 4W of the warehousing tag part 203 of the price tag 200 is
42 (Attach label 210 to 18.

Further, as described above, when one rotation of the lyre drive motor 44 is completed, the control circuit 55 switches the feed motor 32 again)j
Output Luss and rotate Towa to set L7 (Step 10)
. At this point, the price tag 200 is held between the feed roller 34 and the idle roller 36, and moves to the right in the figure. And send it out.

When the number of pulses to the motor 32 reaches a preset Nockles number (see step 11), the control circuit 55 stops the rotation of the delivery motor 32 again, and energizes the electromagnetic actuator 52 to turn its plunger. It is operated in the direction of arrow 54 (step 12). As a result, the connecting member 51 is displaced downward against the tension spring 53, and the stamp 48 stamps the price reduction label 209, and the correction line stamp 49 corrects the price column 206 of the price tag body 201. Stamp the line 212. Thus, the fourth
The price tag 200 in the state shown in the figure can be automatically created.

Then, as shown in step 13, the stop switch 57 is activated, or the preset switch sets the preset value '
When it reaches, the operation automatically ends and the stop switch 57,
When the pre-switch switch etc. is fully activated, return to step 1 and repeat the above-mentioned operation. At this time, the price tags 200 with the price reduction labels 209 and 210 affixed are placed one after another on the stacker 3.
It is accommodated in 8.

The following is the operation when using Hola 216 for 8 companies, but when using E and Pa for joining, the price is reduced to 100 for joining as shown in Figures 1 and 2. When attaching the letter 106, store the recruitment letter 4' in the letter holder A. This allows the switch actuating plate 21' (10th
(see figure), the switch IIA is actuated, and the control device 5
5 selects the sequence operation or operation program for joining the company. In this case, it is sufficient to operate according to the program in which step 8.9 is omitted in the operation explanatory diagram of FIG. 13. On the other hand, the same procedure as described above is applied to the case where a price tag is attached to a price tag for company C (not shown).

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the methane 7048 for the tally mark and the stamp 49 for stamping the correction line are integrated via the arm 50,
Although it has been described as being operated by a single electromagnetic actuator 52 via the connecting member 51, each stamp 48
．． 49 may be configured to be actuated by separate electromagnetic actuators or motors.

Further, the control circuit 55 may be programmed using a microcomputer or may be constructed from a sequence circuit as long as it operates according to the operation shown in FIG.

Furthermore, in the embodiment, each switch IIA, 11B, IIC of the switch mechanism 11 is
However, if the automatic labeling device is used exclusively for each company, the switch mechanism 11 may be omitted, and the switch mechanism 11 may be omitted.
For example, the program or sequence circuit for company B may be selected by turning on the start switch 56, or the circuit may be configured exclusively for eight companies.

Since the automatic price label pasting device according to the present invention is as shown above, it is possible to automate all the work of pasting price tags, stamping stamps, drawing correction lines, etc., which were conventionally done manually. (((Ei bill correction work can be done easily.
