Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the printing of characters, symbols or the like freely as desired by providing a print setting means for determining the arrangement of a printing means for characters, numerals and symbols to be printed and a printing mechanism for getting the printing means tight on a display part for confirmation and a part to be printed. CONSTITUTION:The arrangement of printing contents, namely, characters or the like is set for an object to be printed with a set button 1 for printing characters or the like. The contents set are shown on a printing character display panel 2 to check the contents actually printed. Subsequently a printing head 3 is brought into contact with the object being printed and then, a printing switch 4 is pressed to implement a printing work for the object being printed. A switch 6 for checking printing objects is used to electrically detect that the printing head 3 gets tight on the object being printed accurately while the accuracy of the printing position is checked with a printing position confirmation window 5.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a portable printing or stamping device having a device for setting printed content.

Description of conventional technology There is a method for printing or stamping letters, numbers, symbols, etc. on a printing surface by applying ink to a stamp of a prescribed shape, such as a rubber stamp, and pressing the stamp onto the printing surface. Although this method allows the printed content to be changed arbitrarily, it has the following drawbacks.

■ In the method of replacing the marks with the printed content, it is necessary to prepare as many marks as the multiplier of the printable character string and the type of mark.If the number of types of marks is increased, the storage container will be expanded and the marks will be selected. Leads to an increase in time. Also, do not get your hands dirty during the replacement process.

(2) The method of incorporating a mark and connecting the marks to a ring for each row and rotating them results in an increase in the number of types of characters that can be printed, which increases the size of the device and makes it difficult to change the printing lines easily.

Furthermore, in computer device printers, the sleeve gI of printed character symbols etc. is printed by splashing ink on the printing mechanism (
By combining the inkjet method) and the dot needle,
By using the dot method, a wide variety of printing is possible. Moreover, although it has the advantage that the printed content can be easily changed, it has the disadvantage that it is necessary to set the printing object in the printer device, which limits the size of the brush, the size of the printing object, the thickness, etc.

Purpose of the Invention In order to solve these disadvantages, the present invention unifies the advantages of each conventional device, cancels out the disadvantages of each device, and provides arbitrary freedom to the printed material. Structure of the Invention According to the present invention, a print setting means for determining the arrangement of printing means for characters, numbers, symbols, etc. to be printed, and a predetermined a display part that displays the arrangement for confirmation; a printing mechanism that brings the printing means into close contact with the part to be printed;
A printing device having a switch for instructing to start printing is obtained. More preferably, it has a position confirmation window for confirming whether the printing means is brought into close contact with the print means or not. Further, the print setting means may be operated by a manual operation button or an electric signal.

Description of examples Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, where 1 is a set button for printing characters, etc., and 2 is a printing display board.

3 is a print head, 4 is a print switch, 5 is a print position confirmation window, 6 is a print confirmation switch, 7 is a grip, 8 is an external character input terminal, and 9 is a print mechanism section.

In order to print on a printing object using this device, the content to be printed, that is, the arrangement of characters, etc., is set on the printing object using the set button 1 for printing characters, etc.

The set contents are displayed on the printed character display board 2,
Check what is actually printed. Subsequently, by applying the printing head 3 to the object to be printed and pressing the printing switch 4, the printing operation on the object to be printed is carried out. As an auxiliary function during the operation, a print object confirmation switch 6 electrically detects whether the print head 3 is in close contact with the object to be printed. This can be confirmed through the position confirmation window 5. Further, the printing information can be input as an electrical signal from the external character input terminal 8, and can also function as a printer for a computer or the like.

FIG. 2 shows in detail the printed character set button 1 and the printed character display board 2 in FIG. 1. 1
1 is a part of the number keys, 12 is a shift button, 13 is a dot input start button, 14 is a dot input end button, and 15 is a dot image display board.

16 is the memory button, 17 is the memory read button,
18 is a date set, input capo, 19 is a time set, human capo, 20 is a print character display board, 21 is an internal/outside print input changeover switch, and 22 is a power switch.

This is the part for setting print characters and displaying the print contents, and there are two ways to set the print characters: 1) setting numbers, alphabets, symbols, and 11) setting dot images. As for the method of setting numbers, alphabetic characters, and symbols in 1), numbers are set by pressing the number key 11, and alphabetic characters are set by pressing the upper, middle, and lower pot keys of the shift button 12 and the number key 11 in sequence. is executed. Incidentally, this shift button 12 corresponds to three kinds of alphabetic symbols written above each key of the numerical key 11. The dot image setting method 1i) starts with the dot input start button 13, and the X-axis and Y-axis addresses are entered by pressing the numerical keys in order to set the print dots. The set contents are displayed on the dot image display panel 15 and can be confirmed. Also, in case of incorrect input, it can be erased by setting the same address as the set address. When the dot input is completed, the user presses the dot manual end button 14 to end the operation.

The dot image is displayed as one character on the printed character display board 2o at the next position. Note that the dot image can be stored by pressing the memory button 16 and number key 11 to number 11, and can also be read by pressing the memory read button 17 and number key 11 to number 11.

Furthermore, regarding the date and time, date set / input capotan 1
8 and the time can be set, displayed, and printed on the capotan 19.

Figure 3 shows printing on a printing object (surface) 10 that is not flat. The printing mechanism section 9 in Fig. 1 can be replaced with one that has a curved print head that comes into close contact with the printing surface, making it possible to print on a curved printing surface. As described above, this invention (device) is capable of easily printing any character number symbol string on the printing object, but the printing object is not only paper, etc., but also printing on the name plate of the device, etc. Printing on vertical surfaces is possible. Furthermore, it is possible to input the printing information of the measuring device manually from the external input terminal and print the measurement results on a special paper or the like.

According to the present invention), the printing device to be implemented is a printing device that prints by moving the device to the printing object (surface) and printing in close contact with the printing object (surface), such as a rubber stamp, etc., and the printing device cannot move (cannot be moved). Printing on things becomes much easier.
